Jungle mushroom harvest doesn't always give m. [SOLVED]

[ezryder]

I started a (late game) jungle mushroom farm on my current normal map. I noticed that when my townies harvested jungle mushrooms, sometimes a mushroom would spawn, and other times the humus patch would change to seedlings nut no mushroom would be harvested.

Edit: Note this is version .47a

Can you confirm us that those junglemushrooms are not over a jungle cell?

To plant jungle mushrooms they have to be on humus on jungle. Not sure what you mean by "over a jungle cell"?

1. I tilled some jungle area on a normal map to make a jungle mushroom farm.
2. I then planted jungle mushroom seedlings. (from the only 2 jungle mushrooms left on the map)
3. They grew into mushrooms.
4. I had my townies harvest them.
5. repeat steps 2 through 5 until farm is full.

As I was repeatedly performing steps 2 through 5, I would see my townies;

1. move to the marked jungle mushroom growing on the humus on jungle square.
2. mushroom on tilled square would change into a seedling.
3. half the time a mushroom would not spawn next to the tilled square, and/or the townie would not get a mushroom in his hands (about 2 out of 5 times).

It was intermittent, but consistent (i.e. it didn't happen every time, or like clock work, but it did happen frequently). Normally they would harvest a mushroom and get one mushroom in their hands, and one would spawn next to the harvested square.

I also have this problem - I just thought maybe there was only a chance for a harvest to give a jungle mushroom instead of all the time. I have the jungle mushrooms planted on tilled jungle in two rows nine spaces long each with one space between the two rows. The townie stands over the mushroom just like normal and then the mushroom turns back to a seedling and the townie walks off - doesn't drop anything and isn't carrying anything and if you right-click on them they have moved on to the next task. happens, maybe 1/3 of the time. Basically, it is acting like there is only a 60 or 70 percent chance to get a mushroom when you harvest a planted one.

Never thought it was a big deal since I plant lots of mushrooms. Also, I have always gotten a mushroom when my villagers pick a wild mushroom.

I'm positive that they are not taking it off to eat and there is plenty of room for them to set it down. I'm playing .47a and I have noticed this ever since planted jungle mushrooms were introduced - like I said, just thought it was supposed to be that way. Right not, one of my rows is right at the edge of the jungle, but in previous games I had the mushrooms planted right in the middle. Also, it doesn't just happen in a couple of spots - I have seen it happen in several places on both rows.

Hope this helps!

I'm having the same issue. Even tried spacing them out since nothing "stacks" in game. I've noticed a 30-40% failure rate on harvesting jungle mushrooms. I would include a screenshot but I'm not exactly sure how to do that lol

it seems checker pattern fails a lot of the time, no spaces fails most of the time..

but this seems to work most of the time:

You stalking me?? ;P That's the pattern I have set up currently but it still has a significant fail rate
