Please use this thread going forward: [GTW] Scientist: Plants at science lab don't produce harvestables | EA Forums - 5038711
I think I have that bug too, I think it has to do with the seasons and gardening update that changed everything, we still got a mystery plant, like what plant grew the cowberry plant and how did you get a cowplant from a cowberry. The parent plant keeps saying debug plant. I also notice that the science career seems stuck on one day if seasons are set to 7 days because it don't allow time for collectables to spawn in the science lab, so it may be related to that but never seen any plant in the science career become harvestable or need watered. However I believe someone with the wizard skill from Realm of Magic may be able to fix it by casting the spell of fully grown plants.
@Sid1701d9 The problem stems from the fact that plants will only spawn harvestables at 5am and get weeds, dry out, get bugs, at 6am. In the normal Scientist career, you're never there at 5am or 6am so this never happens. Plants never spawn fruit, never dry out, never get weeds and such.
My mod "Scientist Career - Graveyard Shift and Gardening Fix" solves this problem by shifting the work hours to 12am-9am. That way you are on the lot at 5am and the plants once again work properly. The only down-side to my mod is, because you are now at the Science Lab at 5am, you are no longer on YOUR lot at 5am. So, on those days, any plants on your HOME lot won't spawn. I don't see that as much of a problem though, because you can still garden at the Science Lab on weekdays and your own lot on the weekends.
Although the problem will occur on ALL lots. If you are not on a lot at 5-6am, those plants will never spawn.
At some point later, EA added a second spawning time, some time in the late afternoon, which still doesn't work for the Science Lab.
