During exploring, fighting aliens and gathering materials, you might get hungry or even injured. That's why it's always a good idea to keep some food and medics on you. One of the best ways in doing so is with farming. Crops can be planted and harvested for a variety of goods for crafting food that satisfies your hunger and fills stamina or medics which can cure diseases and regenerate your health.
Not every ingredient for high-tier medicals and food can be acquired through farming, most notably Purified Water and Eggs.
Unlike gathering plant products, farming does not yield experience points.
Prerequisites
To set up a farm you will need
- A Base or Capital Vessel with at least
- A Small Constructor or better
- A Food Processor
- Energy
- Oxygen
- Some basic materials
Growing Crops
Any plant must be placed on a Growing Plot, with a Plant Grow Light in a 3 by 3 area above, centred on the block above the plant and the block it's in needs to oxygenated or else it will stop growing, but continue as soon as all of them are provided again. If the plant is radiated it will die. On planets with a breathable atmosphere, no oxygen must be provided with a Ventilator. Note that plants don't need to be watered and there is no way to do so anyway.
Products
Currently, there are 18 Sprouts that produce a total of 11 different products.
Vegetables, Fruits, Grain and Natural Stimulant can be produced by multiple plants with different average yields per hour. The most efficient crops of these types are marked bold
Sprout | Type | Growth time | Yield | Yield per hour |
