Fruit (Cuberry) Trees Giving Near Nothing? (Seems to be bug)

[Azreide]

My 3 Cuberry trees, which are fully upgraded with everything, can't even sustain about 10 Phosphors. It says it gives the highest output possible, but I still seem to often only get maybe about 3. Is there something I'm missing with this?

[Sporeo]

Idk, I know they're more rare and I'm having the same issue with heart beet's since the patch.

[Azreide]

The main thing I'm confused about though, is that the upgrade says it ensures that you'll get the absolute max output, it doesn't seem like 3 should be the max.

[Gobledigmus]

That's strange. I don't have any problems with either of them at the moment, but for a certain amount of time my heart beets also seemed to grow extremely slow even with full upgrades.
But only in my first savegame. In the other ones they somehow grew in a normal rate.

[Azreide]

So it does seem a little odd,,,

I have an absolutely crazy amount of cuberrys and mint mangoes in my ranch. However, heart beats seem to be much more hard to come by.

An example, I have two cuberrys and two heartbeats gardens, both fully upgraded. I use them to feed two different corrals.

While the corral that gets cubberys has 8 slimes has 40 fruits in stock, the corral that receives heartbeats only has 6 slimes and is almost always empty.

And I never go out to gather more of these fruits/veggies.

I get more food without the fertilization than I do with it. I think they might have the coding for how each works mixed.

[Azreide]

There's an incredible amount of difference between us all. Either the max value for a garden changes every now and then, or there's some bug...far as I can tell.

[Sporeo]

I actually destroyed my heart beet garden thinking that the sprinkler might actually be detrimental and that perhaps they preferred a more arid environment but it's not made a difference. There seems to be a mechanic involved with how many you 'plant' so maybe that's part of it? Ultimately I'm thinking it's a bug, too. My first heart beet garden did great without any upgrades, but has not been the same since.

Sopro, you are right, it is a bug, let’s say I am a “close friend” with the developers and they said that they are going to try to fix this :)

My daughter and I are playing Slime Rancher on my computer using different savegames. She harvested a fruit tree and received over 30 fruit from a garden with 0 upgrades, but mine with full upgrades routinely receive about 12 fruit per tree. The same happened with Carrots.

F2, the devs said to use F2 liberally. You should not be getting so few fruit. F2 should be used for anything weird.

Ah okay, good to know they are aware. I just did a test of it and nutrient soil is definitely the culprit:



(keep in mind these are the numbers upon gathering right at daybreak without waiting for more midday growth)

[Nakhryn]

That's odd. I have 3 Cuberry trees in my grotto feeding 12 Honey Phosphor Largos flying around freely and a lot of the fruits are expiring before they can eat them. My Heartbeats are growing quite well too. It might be completely random.

[Azreide]

Well it's confirmed a bug them, hopefully it'll be fixed soon. I hope. Most likely to do with fertile soil
