bjurney Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I was playing with my wife last night and we went to the Bob's Boars POI where you can get the super corn and where you can fight Grace and found that there are a TON of farm plots there. I spent a good amount of time digging them up with a shovel and was able to dig up a good 35-40 plots. It is far easier than trying to get all the materials needed to build your own and thought I would pass it on for anyone interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthjake Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Now we just need a quest to go there so they will respawn..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm311 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks for the info. I found that POI early and marked it on the map, but haven't looted it yet. I didn't realize it would be so slow going to farm (now there is a reason to save the rotten flesh). Part of the wait is for seed recipes (don't want to use perk points to gain the recipes), the other is farm plot ingredients (rotten flesh).

Auger Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 You can also get 20+ farm plots from the large army base outside the office there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy5 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I thought in the new patch you can no longer dig them from POI’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickPuppy Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I thought in the new patch you can no longer dig them from POI’s Did devs mention something? Can't find anything in patch notes, but if true devs are really pushing the survival game play, no more stacks of food and first aid, which is great news imo.

Kattla Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I thought in the new patch you can no longer dig them from POI’s I read that too. Not sure why, or if that was a trollpost.

jdm311 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Too bad. I should have raided the place when I had a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orclover Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I got it as a quest this weekend and had no idea that it had farm plots in there or I would have stripped it first and then did the quest for more. I still got well over 20+ farm plots from the place, probably closer to 30. Unfortunately Grace the pig disappeared when I shot at her, so no meat from her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auger Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 You can still dig them till next update I dug some up last night. I think the change is good though cause really it would be too easy. If we can still plant on the ones in wild then that will work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my biggest concern when I read madmole's post since the pots are a bit costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy5 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 No, you can't move your either.i hope that isn’t right - I just moved all mine yesterday. I would be a pain if we couldn’t move bases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillen Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Now we just need a quest to go there so they will respawn..... I have one of those places near me and got at least 3 quests for there. Literally have like 2000 meat in my storage now. It's also a great place to shovel up cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascillian Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 No, you can't move your either. Ugh, why would this be a thing? I can understand not being able to dig up POI plots (though that makes me personally sad..) but I like being able to move my own, especially if I want to start working on a farm early, but then find a better town/base location.

Kattla Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Workaround: Make the farm at the POI's with the farm boxes, IF they are usable for such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipClaw Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 No, you can't move your either. Depends how it is implemented. Madmole only said that you can't pick them up from POIs. To achieve this they simply can replace the blocks in the POI with blocks that look identical but have different properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was going to clear out that POI tonight for the copious quantities of cobblestone, cement and meat. Now I can add farm plot supplies to the list. Looks like I will be making a couple of trips hauling everything back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luzifer Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The materials for building them are abundant too tho. Encountered so many roadkillcorpses on the street, corpses on farms/Barns, vultures ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipClaw Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The materials for building them are abundant too tho. Encountered so many roadkillcorpses on the street, corpses on farms/Barns, vultures ect If you only have 3 farm plots these may be easy to replace but if you have a larger garden then that's something different. In A17 I had a garden with 192 planting places. To make 192 farm plots you need 768 wood, 1920 rotting meat, 4800 nitrate and 19200 clay soil. If I had to move the base then this would be a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipClaw Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Because it was never intended in the first place. Experimental. Things can and will change. It was never intended that you could get the farm plots from POIs but it was intended that you could pick them up again. Otherwise they would not have written this into the XML file. Madmole wasn't aware that designers used farm plots in POIs. An easy fix would be to replace the farm plots in the POIs with something else. The property of the farm plots would not need to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
