Can't harvest from insect farm

You basically have to obsessively nurture them. Their health declines after harvest. Someone said it was like 18 times if it’s in the declining stage. There is a mod out by little ms sam that drastically cuts down on the nurturing if you use mods. I’d assume it’s still a bug though since it should take that much to get their health back up.

I have this bug, too. Health is fine, but I can only harvest once. The next time it says 'ready', the interaction to harvest remains greyed out. Have to delete and replace the insect farm.

I discovered that their health recovers a bit if you give them compost from the toilet. Once it stops declining you can harvest again. It would be helpful for the tooltip to tell you that they're not healthy enough to harvest from.

Does 'clean out' the nest make everything start all over again?

Yes. On a positive note, I was finally able to harvest a second time after nurturing a few more times.

great!

They really need to fix it so you don't have to spend so much time nurturing your insects. I have a sim constantly tending to them all day, to the point that that sim doesn't have time to do anything else. Please fix it soon especially since it's the only way to get bio fuel. If anyone knows how you can make bio fuel another way please let me know. Thanks (P.S. - I use compost from the toilet but that only seems to keep them well fed not well nurtured.)

My issue is when I harvest from the insect farm it does not count towards the Maker aspiration?
