So I mentioned this on another thread, but the way I understand disease is supposed to work is when you transplant grass tufts, berry bushes, or saplings a timer starts. When the timer reaches its designated endpoint somewhere 50-70 days it has a chance to become diseased. (Warning period blah blah blah) On a failed check, the timer restarts. The way to avoid this is supposed to be every <50 days you should dig up and replant your crops. I am fine with this as it adds some difficulty to the game, but it is predictable and avoidable provided you are aware of it. However.... on multiple occasions I have had my crops become disease in far less than 50 days after my last "turn the crops" session. When the mechanic is unpredictable or can happen in so short a time period that I feel the need to turn the crops every season it gets a little frustrating. I find it frustrating because this results in one of two things: One, the server's lifespan is artificially restricted because eventually, no matter how hard you try, the non-renewable resources will die off from disease and you will be left with a desolate world that cannot sustain you. Two, I have to get obsessive compulsive on this and constantly turn my crops leaving me little time to go out explore, expand, and experience the other content of the game. Note: Most of the time I run this server by myself, my friends occasionally coming in on weekends.... So here are my questions. Has anyone gone into the code and confirmed the 50 day timer? If so, then my experience indicates either false information, or some kind of bug or glitch that circumvents the 50 day timer, which do we think this might be? (As I said, this has happened to me multiple times, and I would not bring it up if I was not certain it was less than 50 days... most recent incident was 35 days)
