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

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.

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

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.
