1.21u Private Xeno-Farming facility showing zero Areal bonus

Post by Don_Kiyote »

Areal bonus for the private 'Xeno-Farming III' asset in my capital shows "0 Hexes".
There are nine 'Agriculture" hexes within reach of the facility. I think the correct bonus should be about +150% food production.

Looks like a bug. See attached picture:
areal bonus or no?

...and this regime has been having serious food problems, too.

If this is a bug, it may have to do with the facility hex being adjacent to another regime zone. Also, I was going to try Nationalizing the asset to persuade it to re-set and count all its farmland. But so far no scratch.

-----

One more thing. Can anyone clarify exactly how areal hexes are (supposed to be) counted and generated, please?
Specifically:

-Does areal bonus count hexes across administrative borders, such as those in other zones or regimes, but still adjacent? I suppose not, but haven't seen it yet.
-Are non-contiguous hexes counted? How about hexes generated by another facility, but which are now in range and contiguous with the former facility? Can agri hexes ever serve two facilities? Again, I presume not.
-What terrain types can be flipped to agricultural land? Since 'Organic Furnaces' remove forest and jungle, will that facility synergise with open-air farming? In other words, as the furnace burns off the trees, will that allow or hasten the land's conversion to farmland?
-I built an open-air facility in a ruins hex. Does the home hex count towards the areal bonus if it is converted? Or does it never, or always, regardless of it's base terrain type?
-Can areal spread across or skip over barrier hexes to the plains beyond? Again, i suppose no.

Thats all, thanks
except that I hate Steam :|

farm tiles cannot be shared for areal bonuses, so maybe another farm gets it.

Thats good to know.

It can't be that in this case, though. The Xeno-Farming facility in the picture is the only open-air farm around. The facility you see two tile north of the capital is a dome farm, so it shouldn't use areal tiles. In any case, that dome farm is quite new, and I don't think there has ever been a bonus applied to the capital's farm.

The foreign capital three hexes south-south-east has a farm though.

Shall I post a save game?

All done. You should have the latest save from this game in your inbox now. The asset has not been nationalised yet

I hope it can be fixed because my people are almost, but not quite starving ;)

[1.25] Sorry Boss 8-)
It's still seems unstable, as you will see below (new game).
Private Xeno-ag still undercounts areal hexes

Bonus is not zero, but it is not counting the full number of hexes (I think) it should, either.

Mmmh... this might be a different problem altogether... seems like the areal should be connected to count... i do have recollection of such a rule... but it shouldn't make new farmland where it cannot be used in that case..
i'll look into it, but it would be very helpful if you could email this save to vic@vrdesigns.net
best wishes,
Vic

I went to bed and then thought 'oh I should post a save of course'. I'll send it too.

Looks like new farmland is being generated, with no effect; discontiguous hexes dont matter (I think they should count); in fact the private Xeno-ag just always shows only 4 hexes bonus.
