Wheat doesn't grow (Open Farm)

[Galabyca]

Wheat stopped growing after producing for 100+ sols. I attach a screenshot below. I found on other thread some tips and tried them: place a RC Commander with a small radius; ensure there are depots; ensure seeds are stored near; etc. I built 4 other farms. I tried other type of crops (potatoes and leaf). Nothing worked. I think it's a bug and can't find the cause. I attach the save.

That is a weird one -- as your helpful screenshot points out, the obvious reasons do not seem to apply.
I can only share some vague personal experience: Drones seem to treat open farms like a low priority depot, and sometimes do not harvest when there is no need for it anywhere else -- similar to how resources will only be moved from one depot to another on demand, not automatically. Try either trading a lot of food away, or building several depots that are required to be full and see if the problem persists. I have seen open farms that were ignored earlier suddenly be harvested from again when my food stocks actually ran low.

Thanks for you reply. I tried to put a lot of depot requiring to be fulfilled with food. The problem was not about it. There is nothing to harvest and to transport because nothing is growing, even if there are full of seed. For all my farms (like 5 or 6).

Are all the environment conditions (temperature/moisture etc) that require Wheat growing still fulfilled? Are the farms connected to the relevant grids? Is the soil fertile enough for Wheat to be growing? Those would be the things I'd wonder about, but it is an odd one, for sure! ‍
