We haven't tried to re hardwipe the entire server no its an active server we noticed it started after the first hotfix to the last update. Is there perhaps something in coding that would be changeable to effect this? I'm just an admin not the coder but he cannot figure it out.

Is it also possible there was rain previously? Or is this on a freshly placed garden plot?

I couldn't water the ground in the green house with a plastic bottle ( on PC ). It did prompt me to "water the plot" but It would just cancel itself. However, it worked with the canteen and a cooking pot. ( vanilla server, no mods )

At the moment; we've figured it out so it's now after a restart you can water them until it rains then even if plots fresh the watering doesn't work if it's rained since restart

@Geez @Just4hit2it00 What's the issue? When it rains, the soil is already saturated with water, so it doesn't make sense to be able to "water" it. Seems logical and intended.

The issue is if you place it when it's not raining but it has rained at any point since the last restart it won't allow you to water it even though it's not raining anymore.

@Just4hit2it00 The garden plot that you "place" is just a simulation of digging up soil, so it makes perfect sense to me that if it was rained recently the dug up garden plot doesn't need to be watered. And since it already is watered you can just plant your seeds, so no need to water.

Will look into this more. Is it common error for the garden plots indoors to get watered by rain as well?

This was also happening on my PS5 server. Plots won't show water option with any device with water. After restart seemed to work fine. Ill keep an eye on rain see if makes a difference.
