Farming -- beYou Soil Updates

ALL beYou Soils must be updated:

* ***DO NOT UPDATE YOUR SOIL UNTIL ALL PLANTS GROWING HAVE BEEN HARVESTED!***
* if you have plants growing, continue as usual until harvest then update.
* You can update your soil by clicking on the Owner Menu (Not Sitting on it) and choosing the update option.
* if you click the update button and it does not update then try clicking it again or rerezzing the soil.
* You can deliver new seed packs using a Basic/Organics Composter or Farmers Scale (except the basic kitchen ones)

### Please Remember:

***\*\*Check Your Parcel/Land Settings\*\****

beYou Farming will be unable to work properly if the sim that its on has (Object Entry & Build Rights)  disabled. This is in the Parcel settings and if the settings are set to have either of those to GROUP then the beYou Soil has to also have that as its group or farming will fail to rez plants.

\*\*Hot Tip for Farmers - Please keep in mind that plant growth (staging up) can take up to 25 seconds under seriously poor sim conditions. You will see the status change from "Setting up.." to "Still setting up..please wait...".

DO NOT try to stand up or continue clicking on other growing plants or fertilizer while the setup is in process!!!

### Why the update to beYou Farming?

For the last month or so we have been getting a large amount of soils returned to us for failed updates as they were boxed, changing the soil name. We also had several suggestion tickets requesting changing the update process so that they did not have to rerez a soil before updating. Both these issues and a couple more (object\_rez backup) will be eliminated with this latest update of all beYou Soils.

1. If soils are boxed and renamed they will no longer break.
2. If a version change happens after a soil is rezzed, you will not have to rerez it to update.
3. Soil updates will register the update attempted date and whether successful or not.
4. Water Cans take and check water uses from the soil Owner regardless of who is watering..
5. Corrected rez position on nutrients bottle.
6. If object\_rez function should fail again, a backup method is now in place.

For these changes to be properly done, we needed to make a name change on the soils.

New names will be formatted like this: Soil Name - # Plot (beYou Soil - 1 Plot)

Unfortunately this means any soils not named like this will fail to auto-update and will need to be replaced manually.

### What soils were updated?

Please see list below:

* beYou Soil (All 4 & 5 plots)
* All Garden & Boxed Soils 4 & 5 Plots
* beYou Single Soil
* beYou Tree Soil
* beYou Herbal Planters

\*\* Seed Packs were updated to V3.0 \*\* -- Updated soils will have to be used with updated VERSION 3.0 seed packs

### What to expect?

* If you accidentally clicked Harvest on a plant while weeds were out it caused a problem that could not be recovered from. This update should block that situation from happening.
* If you get a re-try you can expect the Re-Try option to provide additional options for you without having to do a full reset.

### \*\* IMPORTANT \*\*

* Please remember that a Re-Try is not a script error. Do not open a ticket saying you have retries.
* You MUST use the menu to re-process the plant. IF it still does not come out you have to restart your sim or give it more time.
* If you re-try on a plot that already has a plant growing it WILL REPLACE that plant.
* It will NOT DELETE the plant.
* The plant will remain with the Orange hover text saying "Plot was reset.."
* If the plot was reset with a plant already growing on it the new plant will have already Rezzed out on TOP OF THE OLD ONE. Please carefully move it to the side, click the plant with the orange hover text and select COMPOST. Then use the Owner menu to "Reposition" and the plants will come back to their correct positions.
* If you are not wearing the latest seed pack you will see the following message when you go to plant: Make sure you're sitting on a soil plot and it has been prepared. This will cause you to lose water uses.

If you see this message please check the description of your seed pack and ensure it says V3.0. If it does NOT say this use a composter or a farmer's scale to send yourself a new seed pack. Be sure to delete that older one from your inventory and clear it from your trash! It may be added to an outfit and you don't want to accidentally wear it again.
