Omni Plant Troubles
Problem Can’t Order Omniplant Seeds on the Mailbox Can’t feed Omniplant Omniplant stopped growing Stuck Omniplants in Inventory Cause Unclear. Might have something to do with the quality of the seeds not being set properly. Caused by too much stuff in your inventory. If you have a lot of harvestables the selection window fails.
