Black Tops of Soil

[DarkApothecary]

After using a Trowell on Dirt the resulting Soil has black tops, like the absolute color black, obviously a glitch of some sort. Weeds will still grow on it, though I am unsure if flower behavior is correct. Also, any use of NEI (recipe or usage) with many Botany items will cause an immediate crash (flowers, botanist database, etc).

I have Forestry 3.6.3.20, Binnie's Mods 2.0pre14, NEI 1.0.3.74, NEI Addons 1.12.10.33, and NEI Integration 1.0.11.

I have experienced these bugs even when downgrading to Binnie's pre12 and with previous versions of all above listed mods. The NEI errors aren't gamebreaking for me, but the black soil really seems to be. Also the florist's encyclopedia doesn't seem to work on any flowers, be they vanilla, Binnie's, or those raised on the black 'soil,' blocks (black as in the absolute void).

P.S. This is my third attempt at posting: this website seems as glitchy as the mod. If this works, it was because the attachment system is broken and instead of uploading my pictures of the bug it instead merely looped infinitely, and someone should probably open a ticket in whatever system bitbucket itself is bug tracked in.

Yes, having no attachments allowed me to post. But that is irrelevant. This issue is about the black tops of the soil. I have uploaded my screenshots to imgur. One is of a flower-bed with some weeds, the other two are a before and after of the trowel being used on a block.

First what you should do is to try with only minimal mod set. Something like NEI+Forestry+Binnie mods. If this set will work as expected then one of the rest is doing something and you will find the one quickly by adding mods in batches to the instalation. You should also post logs via pastebin or similar site.

Strangely the same exact set of mods (copied over wholesale) into a fresh Minecraft installation works without problem. I guess its not a reproducible bug, so I suppose this should be closed.

I finally got around the bug by creating a new minecraft installation and copying all the mods and my save in. No more black tiles!

Can be rectified by copying all mods and the save in question into a fresh Minecraft installation.

I cannot reproduce it. It seems somehow that particular save file was corrupted.

Good to hear! :)
