![]() ![]() ![]() While harvesting rice yields less food than corn or potatoes, this crop is a consistent source of food since it grows so quickly. This crop is the fastest growing crop in the game on this list and is also the most sensitive to soil fertility making it a terrible choice for deserts. Personally I'd just take Skylights to save on power requirements. Smallest yield upon harvest (6) Rice is a great starting crop. Vanilla sun lamps are available at start unless you're tribal. Just note that the VE ones are locked behind some research Gas Extraction for the former, and the other is a bit further down the tech tree. If you arent familiar with greenhouses, all it is would be a building with stabilized heat within the growing range and a sunlamp. Hydroponics does have its benefits, but thats mostly in places like sea ice, or other extremely harsh scenarios. Might go with the vanilla expanded one cuz i dont really wanna make a outside for the zombies to be able to know where i am when they spawn. Hydroponics is nice, but ultimately not worth it for most things compared to a greenhouse. Ideology has nutrifungus that doesn't want light, which can be useful if your pawns love or are at least tolerant of eating fungi. Skylight in particular doesn't need research, just some investment in steel to make glass panels I've used it for a long time now and it certainly makes indoor farming much easier. Thats a fix to stop cave plants randomly spawning in hydroponic basins. Its hidden in the huge list of fixes Tynan added yesterday. One was: Fix: Cave plants can spawn in hydroponics basins. ![]() With mods like Dub's Skylight you could build glass ceilings which allow sunlight to pass through. Interesting because in the Ludeon forums in the discussion regarding the A18 unstable build Tynan added a post of fixes. You could also unroof not more than 25% or so of a room to give you a bit of growing space, but it's not really feasible for large scale indoor farming. The Vanilla Expanded series also provides a gas powered version and one that's less energy demanding. In vanilla you can build sun lamps that eat up a lot of power to give you a small growing zone to work with. Originally posted by Vermillion Cardinal:There are a few options. ![]()
