Update 2025/8/3
Now allow you to stack planting in a single cell. This is simply done by increasing the amount of work required to plant and harvest, resulting in a corresponding increase in yield. For every three plants stacked, the power consumption increases by one unit. Now it should save you a lot of space in the ship.
A mod makes your hydroponic more powerful.
Added a new research project: Enhanced Hydroponic. The research requires tech prints.
After the research is finished, the hydroponic basin will be improved to be "perfect", which means:
1. Almost every sowable plants can be planted in the basin. Support sandy plants, water plants and mushrooms from Vanilla Plants Expanded Series.
2. The plants can grow ignoring the temperature, the light and the pollution requirement.
3. The plants never get blighted and they never die because of old age.
4. The plants will have at least 100% fertility sensitivity.
5. The plants will continue to grow at night. You can turn it off in option.
6. If you plant trees, they can be adjacent.
7. Extra 1.2× fertility bonus for hydroponic.
8. The basin will gradually heal damaged plants.
9. The basin info will show you the days needed to harvest. This is very useful for calculations of food production of your colony.
10. You can toggle if allowed to plant wild plants or decorative plants in option.
11. Allow to stack planting. See in update log.
The only cost is that the power needed is doubled from 70W to 140W after the research.
