Hydroponics takes some time, power, and steel to get up and running before becoming a sustainable primary food source.

growing a defense big enough to attract enemy mortar raids, which you may notice.

I focus on other means of food source to make my game more of a challenge. also, no mountains or hills, and no grow zones for food at all. i've played in tundra with zero grow season. also, knowing the fertilizer pump was getting nerfed or removed, i have decided to play the last month without it. Mostly, i believe the game is too easy as is right now. I wonder what that additional power is needed for if the basins can't even heat themselves. A soil farm described above will usually take 700W (600W for the sun lamp + 100W for the heater), while each of the hydroponic setups also requires 70W, making the total of 1400. Into such a room you can fit either 79 tiles of farmabe soil (9 * 9 - 2 for the lamp and the heater), or you can have 10 hydropinc basins with the total of 40 growing slots in them. Usually I make a 9x9 room for growing - I know it's not fully efficient, but looks nice and even. On the other hand, hydroponic basins can grow crops wuch faster (although how much faster exactly I don't know). Maybe I'm just doing it wrong? Here are the pros and cons I am aware of, if you know of anything else, please share.įarm plots provide much more farmable tiles for the same area, since hydroponic basins have to have walkable space around them. Hydroponics were the first thing I tried, but later on I started thinking that a soil farm created with fertilizer pumps would be more efficient. I've been trying to set up a successful colony on maps with no growing period, relying on indoor farming for food.
