Not sure if the disease thing is true, think it's just assumed because growths get staggered here and there.
The issue with the farming tick system is how it works entirely. Instead of plants just growing - say herbs, at 00:00, 00:20, 00:40, 01:00 - they grow between 00:00-00:05, 00:20-00:25, 00:40-00:45, 01:00-01:05, if you tick hit a growth tick which within that window, the time you hit growth ticks is based on when you log in.
So say you log out at 0:17, your herbs will grow at 0:22. But if you log back in at 0:21, your herbs won't grow until 0:26. 0:26 is outside of the 0:20-0:25 growth window, so you'll miss that stage. But for some fucking reason it just throws you the growth cycle on one herb patch, it makes no sense.
They're rewriting the whole farming growth system to make it so you don't have this whacky growth tick shit that you have to land within a growth window, things will just grow on time. You plant your Herbs at 0:55, they're done at 2:00. You can log in, you can log out, you can do whatever. Supposed to be out before the end of the year, can't wait. Trees are like 2 days behind because of the current shitty system
It is both, it has to do with the growth cycle timings but if a plant would become diseased while under protection, instead it just resets the current stage of growth.
