@rottenmeier Did you harvest the bugs or clean them out?

You can compost into the farm as often as you have trash with the reduce and reuse lot trait active, but harvesting has a cooldown and if you clean the bugs out completely you have to purchase new ones.

the bug i'm referring to, after the cooldown it says ready, but you can't harvest.what you describe is theory, but i'ts not working that way.

hmmm, no.not exactly.i harvest the insect farm once, after that i can't harvest it ever again.i can't remember at what point i composted/feed them again, or how often, or how often i petted them to increase health.i have tried some variations ( i think i even cleared them out and started new, i think that didn't work as well). it never worked more than once. so i gave up. i buy three and use each once (to complete the aspiration f.e.) then i sell them.And buy new ones if i ever want to get harvestables again.. (for finishing the aspiration of another sim f.e.)it's just another gameplayfeature I bought, which is not there.
