(Part 2)

Q: How long does it take to grow from seed bags to the full product?
A: About up to 20 minutes maybe. Tested w/ Raptor Bane Seed Bags.

Q: Can I still-use normal seeds?
A: Nope, hydroponic tanks will nuke normal seeds unless you process them into seed bags at the Plant Processor.

Q: Once the plants are fully-grown, will they drop loose items?
A: Apparently-not! When the plants become "Cultivated" versions of themselves, the plant-itself must be harvested from the tank and then processed in the Plant Processor for Material, which you can deconstruct. This gives you 1x normal product, and 2x seed bags so you can keep planting and farming!!


Good luck and have fun with less ship performance lag from too-many loose items!! Planter boxes? Water? We don't need those as long as we've got power.

@supervampire Sorry for the extremely-late reply, but it takes up to 20 minutes for a plant to grow from a seed bag!

(Part 1)

Q: Where can you buy the items?
A: Cities! A general goods vendor will have what you want, but hydroponics tanks cost around 600 credits, seed packs cost around 100 credits, then plant processors and seed banks cost around 1.2k credits each.

Q: When I buy these, where should they go?
A: Everything except for the seed bags are heavy two-handed objects, so try delivering to the ship!! They're big.

Q: How do I place down the objects?
A: Equip the objects and then hold RMB (right-mouse button) + press E to place.

Q: How do I hook these up?
A: Get some wires and a screwdriver so you can hook up the wires to your [POWER_IN] node on the objects, then link to a [POWER_OUT] node on either a junction box, supercapacitor, battery charger, or the reactor!! It's that-simple. You might get zapped tho.

how long does it take for the hydroponic tank to grow something?

available mods section

i'm having a hard time getting this to load in properly on my singleplayer. showing in red in available after everytime i try to use it

@Ja2012 use the e key instead of left mouse button when you place it

like its just gone

seed bank stopped working

5 November 2023. Multiplayer. Mid-compaign. v1.1.19.3.
Mod not work. I do have machines in shops at reseach stations. I can buy. But I can't install it on submarine, only to walk with it around.

what duh hell that assistant doin

Images just brilliant

the art you made for this is unhinged and holy

yeah its only for the vanilla plants ecause it has specific items that arent the same as the vanilla seeds. so it would not bbe able to do modded due to how it needs to be coded

Can only do vanilla plants in hydroponic tank, but processor can do modded plants: help.

@TheSpookiestSkelteton lol yeah i misspelled something in the code, ill e updating that now

the fiber plant material recipe keeps throwing red errors in the log

yee you will need to, but using the mod i mention previously tou wont need to start fresh

will I need to reload my shops again?

@TheSpookiestSkeleton the seeds will decay now unless stored in a new machine that i just added.

in the fututre i might add some kind of machine that suspends that decay rate however

@TheSpookiestSkeleton yh generally you shouldnt turn em to seeds/cuttings until youre ready to use them however the fruits dont currently get removed when they reach 0/1% but i believe the other ones do so i would say just wait until youre ready to use them before processing them

Is there any way to keep the seeds alive when not growing them or should I not break down plant material if I'm not prepared to grow the seeds from it?

I did not know of such a thing, amazing, thank you for furnishing me with this info

@TheSpookiestSkeleton theres another mod on the workshop called update campaign store which gives you a command to update the stores so i would recommend geting that

does this need a new campaign? I've heard that items don't show up in shops very well when added to ongoing campaigns.

@lolic_lol the devices cannot be faricated, they can only be bought at certain outposts

Failed to find new devices in the constructor.

thanks

@Mender nope, just hook the Hydroponic tank up to power and place the seed into it

do i have to water the plants?
