Ladybug loft... haz noe ladybugz
vecki:
Just recently noticed that when I place ladybug lofts to avoid nasty bug infestations, the ladybugs swirl around for a bit then disappear. I then start getting insect infestations on my trees and crops.
I'm surprised I didn't notice the lack of ladybugs earlier, given the increase in bug attacks (since FT - why did I not spot this before!!!??? Why? WHY?).
Anyone else seen this? I have Pes's Director's cut and a bucket load of TJ's hacks, all recently updated.
sloppyhousewife:
This is caused by "antigardenlag", which is part of the DC. The ladybugs seem to disappear, but they still do their job. Just without causing lag :). Too bad ladybugs don't completely prevent infestations to occur, but at least they seem to diminish them remarkably.
J. M. Pescado:
The lady bug nest will reduce the infestation level when one is present, but doesn't actually prevent one from occurring.
Assmitten:
Is it known if this conflicts with jfade's ladybug hack from djsims? I was having no ladybugs as well, and my system is fasty-quick.
seelindarun:
Since antigardenlag prevents the game from rendering all the ladybugs, you can place more of them if your bug infestations persist. I've found that plants or trees more than 3 squares from a loft don't seem to get complete protection. Also, there can be a delay of several hours between the spawning of the pests and their subsequent consumption by the ladybugs, so don't be too quick to assume that your lofts aren't working. I only add more lofts if the pests spread to other plants after 6 sim hours or so.
