Known bug

Quick answer: If the Dragon Shelter fiery garden bed is missing when you are told to plant flame pepper seeds, check whether the lower-left garden plot was planted before the fire dragon arrived. One player reproduced the problem with wheat there, then reported that starting a fresh game and leaving that plot empty let the dragon turn it into a lava bed. This is a player-reported workaround; a fix for an existing save and whether it still works in the current version are not confirmed yet.

Players also call it flame seed bug or fire garden bed missing.

Quick facts

  • When: The prompt asks you to plant flame pepper seeds, but no fiery bed appears. Player report
  • Plot to check: The lower-left garden plot; a player reported wheat occupying it. Player test
  • Reported workaround: Start a fresh game and leave that plot unplanted before the fire dragon's event. Player test
  • Impact: Without the bed, the player could not plant the seeds or befriend the second dragon. Player report

What to try when the fiery bed is missing

Check the lower-left plot

Look at the lower-left garden plot where a player reported the fire dragon makes the lava bed. If wheat was already planted there, your situation matches the reported issue. Player test

Try the reported fresh-game workaround

If you choose to restart, leave that lower-left plot empty before the fire dragon arrives. The reporting player said this allowed the dragon to burn it into a lava bed. Player test

Return to the flame pepper prompt

Check whether the fiery bed appears before trying to plant the flame pepper seeds. The original report says the missing bed prevented planting and blocked befriending the second dragon; whether this workaround completes that later quest is not confirmed yet. Original report

Do not assume clearing wheat in an existing save will create the fiery bed: the reported success came from starting a fresh game with the plot empty. A fix for an already affected save is not confirmed yet. Player test
