sturdy sinew
primal lance
Platform: XBox Issue: (Even) Slow(er) Planting and harvesting.
mortal mango
Platfprm: PS5
Issue: Very slow harvesting crops, will pick one or 2 crops then a long pause, then a couple more and pause.
oak igloo
Platform: PC
Issue: slower planting and harvesting when I harvest I pauses for a long time
pure marsh
Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue: I had three bursts from harvesting my pumpkin patch. During the third burst the timer was a lot faster compared to the usual (already broken system). I was only able to collect a very small amount (possibly less then half), instead of the usual couple harvests that I'm not able to get. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I was using my sprint so that I can make it in time to collect everything; however, it made the timer go faster.
molten granite
Platform:PC (Xbox PC extension)
Issue: I cannot collect any of my plants except the ones from Wall-E's garden. This goes for both my crops and the ground spices like oregano, mushrooms and basil. I was able to last night on my switch so not sure if its a change on the PC but I thought I'd bring attention to it
visual vigil
Platform: Xbox game pass/PC
Very slow gardening; planting, harvesting, and even picking up herbs and flowers causes long pauses between interactions. A 99 plot took like 10+ minutes to plant. Energy not an issue (had plenty of yellow).
mossy sleet
Platform switch
Since update gardening is awful slow what took me 15 min to harvest and another to replant now takes over an hour as they pick one crop wait about ten seconds then move and pic a second
Same with planting it’s like they can’t decide where to go
Did not have this issue before update
deft trench
When I dig. It works normal. When I redig the spot, the plot will not go away.

Getting harder to garden to plant or harvest this update seems to have made it awful worse

spring rapids
Platform: Switch
Issue: when harvesting or planting, character picks 1-3 and then freezes in place. After releasing the A-button character remains frozen in place until one last crop is picked or planted.
I tried removing animated features such as my wings, animal companion, and even the character companion ( in this case fairy godmother) but it made no noticeable difference.
hallow kelp
Platform: Switch. Issue: unable to harvest spices but still able to harvest vegetables.
native cairn

Platform: PC
Issue: explosive harvesting of wrong type.
(I'm sorry I didn't think to take a pic, I figured it was just me)
Yesterday I planted 50 sugarcane for the event duties and when I went to harvest, I brought along Anna. On my 4th harvest of sugarcane my game froze for about 2 mins, then an explosion of pumpkins erupted on my beach, 800 to be exact. I was blown away and figured it had to be a delay from when I last used her to harvest pumpkins months ago. I have no idea why or how it happened, but it did.
river flame
Slow/lagging while digging and planting
Platform switch
snow dragon
Platform: switch
Issue: some crops say they are dried and need watering, but when I try to water, the watering prompt doesn’t pop up. I went into buildings and came back out to see if that would work, but nada.
lethal meteor
Platform: PS5
Issue: It is going to be next to impossible to complete the entire harvest Dreamlight Fruit fixed Dreamlight Duty. It takes 24 hours for the fruit to grow I can only get a maximum of 12 a day. Can it at least be lowered to 2 hours of regrow time?
steep coral
Platform: Xbox
Issue: Golden spray plants don’t give you extra plants when you try to harvest
supple garnet
Pc: very slow harvesting and planting issue. My char will harvest/ plant 2 or 3 then pauses for 6 to 10 seconde before starting up again. It did this before the latest update but the intervals were between 1 and 3 seconds so could work with that but now its getting annoying as the intervals went up a lot.

light smelt
Platform: Switch
Issue: plants not all staying watered. When I plant all the same plant and water all at once some of the plants will progress to the next stage such as watering round 2 or grown. Others will not and will act as if i never watered them. Photo is after i re watered the dead patch as I didn’t think i was going to post till my partner brought up that was the 10th time he had seen patches in my pumpkins in the last 4 days.

Platform: PC, Steam
Issue: The pumpkin landed in the water in forgotten lands after the ''explosion'' happens when you gotta pick up the items on a certain time before they disappear, it made the pumpkin not reachable
primal lance
Issue: Slow planting and harvesting - Platform: XBox.
Watch these and tell me this is supposed to be “fun” - near the end of each clip I switch from “hold” to manually planting and harvesting and it’s much faster. Infuriating.
amber karma
Platform: switch
Issue: Rich soil almost never generates. I have planted and harvested over 100 crops in the last 2 days and only received 2 rich soil
surreal bluff
Platform: PS5
Issue: Slow picking and planting crops. Wife constantly complains about this and the game freezing. She also has times when she can't press any buttons but the game is still working, she has to force close it.
sand raven
Hey all: I just found this on reddit. If you delete your companion house it fixes the gardening issue. Doesn't matter what biome. I did it earlier and it's back to normal.

Issue: Planting multiple skips over the first plot where the planting is started and leaves the plot empty
hybrid walrus

ashen parrot
platform: pc - steam
issue: slow planting/harvesting, but mainly my game has now frozen twice now when trying to harvest this particular vegetable in wall-e's garden. had to alt-f4 to continue progressing. note that the game itself doesn't freeze (i can see critters etc moving) and i can move my camera around but i can't get out of this particular shot.

issue: shows dried crops on map and when going to water, but clearly in the ss the crops are dripping with water. but it’s acting as if the crops are dry and letting me water them.
south lodge
Platform: Steam/PC
Issue: Gardening companion won't spawn extra items I've harvested until long after I've finished gardening. Screenshot shows some of the extra pumpkins the companion spawns appearing in the Glade of Trust a couple of minutes after I finished harvesting pumpkins in the Plaza.
low creek
Platform: Switch
Issue: Digging holes
Holes dug in error can not be removed. A hole still remains. Whereas before I could dig and then dig again to close the hole completely if I made an error.
steady glen
Platform: Switch
Issue: foraging and digging
Anything I gather or dig up with a villager eventually stops appearing. Some of them will zing to another part of the map, if I’m in a blocked off part of the biome… but sometimes they just don’t show up. I was in the main part of the glade and upon relaunching the game, the items (clay) still are nowhere to be found.
