This makes planting some of the more time intensive crops, such as chili and currentcorn, impossible to do on a planet unless you sit yourself next to your farm and wander away from the keyboard.Ī solution to this is to grow crops on your ship, which can be done quite easily and even en masse with the right dirt set up. This is a bit of a downer for me personally, as well as for those looking to sprout up giant farms of their favorite crops. Before you set up a base on a planet and get excited to grow your own crops, know this: Your crops will not grow if you leave the planet they are on, and they will not grow if you get too far away from them.
