I have no option to collect wood stones oil ammunition when the workbenches are full
What do you mean? Sounds like a mod conflict.
When they are ready to look you should be able to press E and loot them.
Join the discord and provide a video/logs/ mod list and we can figure it out.

Hello.
They don’t give me loot books.
It’s already day 15 in the game
I bought 1 book from a merchant and that’s it.
Where can I get these books for development?
Hi,
They are a rare drop looted throughout the world! You should be able to find them relatively easy. However, if it’s a big issue with your particular map you can cut up the loot rate on the magazine in loot.xml
Здравствуйте. А я уже на 13 дне и у меня ни 1 книжки не упало с добычи.
Или их где то в определенном месте нужно искать? Так и сижу на 2 уровне.
1 книжку с уровнем у торговца купил и все.
English please.
I installed the latest “fix” and according to your chart Hydroponic farm is 35 minutes…the Ammo one is 48 minutes…I have collected two rounds of the ammo and the hydroponic farm has never produced anything yet…So a question…Will the winter biome (Cold) effect the hydroponic farm? Because I am playing a winter biome only map…The farming crops I have aren’t effected by the cold weather…
Hm, weird how you say it’s not changing over. In my recent test it did, however let me look one more time! If it’s on my end, sorry. I’ll get it fixed.
Also no, it does not affect with the cold weather.
Also, that’s neat your map is all snow!
Thanks for the mods you have produced, I like the concept for this mod and I really hope you can get it working….The medical one and the hydroponic farm were the only two that didn’t work for me….but after I installed the last update the medical one works…just the hydroponic one doesn’t . I am sure you’ll get it figured out.
I use the RWG Patch mod from goemoncode for one biome maps…
Hello,
First of all I thank you for the work you do. I installed almost all your mods.
However I just have one problem with this one concerning the Hydroponic Farm workstation. No items appear on this workstation. I am on version 1.2 of 7DTD. The other stations work perfectly. Does anyone have this problem too? Thank you for your answers.
Hey Bud!
Ive uploaded this fix! Also fixed time on the Medical Station.
Best,
TheMeanOne
I have the same problem, everything else is working
This has been fixed 🙂
