Re: [WORKAROUND] [OR] Plants in Granite Falls only produce at 5am
I have noticed missing plants on occasion in my game. But I have found that if you play a household in a zone where they have disappeared that almost all of them will come back eventually. It might take a couple of days though. Since everything with plants growing happens at around 5:30 AM, you need to active in the zone at that time.
I had all the wild plants disappear for quite a long time in the Granite Falls State Park zone. It went on for several RL months. So I couldn't collect the plants in that zone. But eventually, I ended up camping there for a few days and they came back and haven't disappeared again.
Another thing that happened is that one of the NAPs originally had NPCs weeding the wild plants. In one case, none were left in one zone. But again, after staying in the that zone for a couple of days, they grew back. Like you, not even dirt piles were left. But one of the patches since EL was to stop NPCs from doing that so it shouldn't happen anymore.
So the best advice I can give you is to play a household in those zones where the plants have disappeared for a couple of days and see if they come back on their own. Otherwise, you might try repairing the game in Origin.
Hope this helps.
