Обсуждение:Руководство по гидропонике
Основы Ботаники
Гидропоника и ботаники которые работают в ней — очень важны для станции, особенно в долгих раундах.
Ботаники выращивают растения, которые повар может использовать для приготовления пищи. Без поставок этого отдела, станции придётся жить на полуфабрикатах из торговых автоматов, или умереть с голоду.
Растения из гидропоники, помимо съедобных, крайне полезны для РнД, Карго и экипажа. Переработка растений в биомассу, может быть крайне полезна, так как даёт возможность изготовить пояс для инструментов, или, новые башмаки.
Работа не слишком сложная, но поначалу она может оказаться непосильной, особенно когда вы получаете много заказов, список дел для начала работы поможет вам подготовить место для продуктивного производства и, возможно, избежать хаоса в отделе.
Ваш отдел
Гидропоника разделена на две части. В большой южной секции вы будете проводить много времени, выращивая продукцию. Тут находятся лотки, в которые высаживают растения и два торговых автомата: один с семенами, а другой с различными вещами — инструментами и удобрениями. Биогенератор используется для переработки растений в биомассу, из которой производится множество вещей для станции. Северная секция содержит необходимые инструменты для работы в гидропонике. Растениям требуется освещение, вода и удобрение. Также они страдают от сорняков и вредителей.
Ботанические лотки
Для роста растениям необходимы удобрения и вода. Их также беспокоят вредители и сорняки. Лотки оснащены индикаторами, сообщающими вам о состоянии растений.
- Зеленый: Урожай готов к сбору.
- Красный: Уровень здоровья растения низок или оно теряет здоровье из-за того, что возраст растения превысил показатель Lifespan.
- Мерцающий красный: Растение страдает от сорняков, вредителей или токсинов.
- Жёлтый: Низкий уровень удобрений.
- Синий: Низкий уровень воды.
Лотки также могут быть соединены через ирригационные трубы, которые ведут себя следующим образом:
- Если количество реагентов, перенесенных в лоток, равно 30 или меньше, система орошения не включается, и все реагенты переносятся в целевой лоток.
- Если количество реагентов, переданных в лоток, превышает 30, они делятся поровну между всеми подключенными лотками.
Инструменты
- Гаечный ключ (Wrench): Используется для перемещения лотков и оборудования. Не стесняйтесь передвигать механизмы так, как вам будет удобно. ДНК манипулятор, биогенератор и трубу для отходов перемещать в собранном состоянии нельзя.
- Кусачки (Wirecutters): Используются для настройки системы орошения. Если в лоток залито 30 или больше единиц воды, то она равномерно распределится между всеми лотками. Эта система также распространяет вещества вроде мутагена или гербицидов.
- Топорик (Hatchet): Позволяет рубить бревна башенного гриба (Towercap), превращая их в доски. Оружие, которое помещается в рюкзак.
- Лопатка (Spade): Позволяет выкапывать растение из лотка.
- Рыхлитель (Cultivator): Помогает избавляться от сорняков.
- Сумка для растений (Plant Bag): Позволяет одним кликом собрать урожай с целью переноса в более удобное место. Вмещает до 50 растений, или 100 семян.
- Ручной экстрактор семян (Portable Seed Extractor): Функционал аналогичен сумке для растений, за исключением того, что может переработать до 100 растений за раз в семена. Alt + Клик запускает процесс переработки.
- Анализатор растений (Plant Analyzer): Предоставляет информацию о растениях и семенах, также является лучшим инструментом для сортировки семян.
- Лоток для сортировки семян (Seed Sorting Tray): Не так хорошо сортирует как анализатор растений, но лучше чем сортировка вручную.
Экстрактор семян
Торговые автоматы содержат ограниченное число семян, — чтобы восполнить их количество, пользуйтесь данным устройством. Возьмите плод в активную руку и нажмите на экстрактор, плод будет переработан в некоторое количество семян, полностью идентичных переработанному растению. В этом же механизме можно хранить переработанные семена.
Сортировка семян
Если вы выращиваете семена в лотке с уровнем мутации 0, они не будут мутировать, а значит, будут одинаковыми. Однако если уровень мутации больше нуля, семена могут быть разными, и поэтому их нужно отсортировать. Такие семена нельзя сажать или помещать в экстрактор семян.
Есть 3 способа сортировки семян:
- Анализатор растений: Используйте анализатор растений на контейнере с семенами, таком как сумка для растений или ручной экстрактор семян. Это занимает полсекунды на каждое семя и дает бонус к мутациям 50% после 4-х непрерывно отсортированных семян, и 100% после 8-ми. Это означает, что для получения наибольшего количества мутаций вы захотите сортировать как можно больше семян одновременно.
- Лоток для сортировки семян: Специальный контейнер для сортировки семян. В два раза медленнее чем анализатор, и дает только 50% бонус к мутациям после 4-х непрерывно отсортированных семян.
- Использование в руках: По одному пакету семян за раз, по одной секунде на каждый. Вы не можете сортировать семена непрерывно, поэтому бонус не начисляется.
Биогенератор
Биогенератор преобразует плоды растений в биомассу, из которой можно изготавливать различные предметы. Чтобы получить биомассу, возьмите любую емкость и вставьте её в механизм. Когда емкость будет вставлена, закиньте растения внутрь, откройте интерфейс устройства и активируйте переработку. Советуем изучить список создаваемых предметов, среди них есть множество полезных как для ботаников, так и других членов экипажа. Любые растения(кроме разновидностей крапивы и башенного гриба) могут быть переработаны, но содержащие растительные(Plant-matter) и питательные(Nutriment) вещества дают больше биомассы.
ДНК-манипулятор
ДНК-манипулятор позволяет извлекать и модифицировать характеристики семян, содержание веществ в семенах и их черты. Это полезный механизм для быстрого производства семян с заданными свойствами.
В начале раунда, когда у вас нет улучшений от РнД, максимальные характеристики которые он может записать на них ограничены!
Как использовать:
- 1. Возьмите коробки с дисками.
- 2. Вставьте диск в механизм, вместе с необходимым пакетом семян.
- 3. Извлеките ген, который вы хотите записать на диск, чтобы далее перенести на другое растение. Это может быть характеристика, один из реагентов или черта. При извлечении семена уничтожаются, а на диск записывается выбранная информация.
- 4. Вставьте другие семена.
- 5. Теперь вы можете модифицировать характеристики, реагенты или черты семян, используя ранее записанное на диск.
Семена с хорошими характеристиками, доступные в автомате:
- Потенция: 50 у башенного гриба и хлопка.
- Урожайность: 10 у табака.
- Производительность: 1 у пшеницы.
- Выносливость: 50 у лайма.
- Срок жизни: 60 у сахарной свеклы.
Не забывайте, вы можете переименовать семена с помощью ручки в вашем ПДА, дабы не путаться в модифицированных растениях!
Растения
There are three types of plants. The biggest category is "normal plants". The much smaller ones are mushrooms and weeds. They are a little different from the normal plants:
- Mushrooms need less light, and suffer less from lack of it.
- Mushrooms don't need water to grow. They still use it, though.
- Weeds don't suffer from high weed level.
- Mushrooms and weeds can't be overtaken by weeds in a tray.
- Mushrooms' yield can't drop to 0. It will always be at least 1.
In addition to those types, some individual plants have their own unique features that aren't bound to a trait:
- You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
- You can carve a corn cob (eaten ear of corn) with a hatchet to make a corn cob pipe.
- Wheat can be used to feed chickens in the Hydroponics near the kitchen (just give them wheat directly) for them to lay eggs.
- You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
- Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head. Works nicely with Strong Bioluminescense.
- Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
- Novaflowers ignite people you hit them with and deal burn damage depending on potency.
- Death-Nettles will sting when picked up without protective gloves, stunning and dealing burn damage. They will also deal burn damage on hit, which gets lower with each hit.
- Comfrey and Aloe can be crushed to make healing poultices that apply the plant's reagents to the skin.
- Combustible lemons can be armed and thrown like grenades and create a fiery explosion after a 5 second delay, be responsible with them.
- Killer Tomatos will wake up and start attacking anything in sight after being used in hand. If the liquid contents trait wasn't removed they will squish when you throw them and will not wake up, so you would need to drop them instead.
- Grass and Carpet Grass can be used in hand to make Grass or Carpet tiles.
- Replica pod can be used to grow dead people back to life. To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
- Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
- Inject it into the bag of seeds.
- Plant the seeds.
- Let the plant grow and harvest it. The person will come back as a Diona.
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place. Possible plants include:
- 1/6 chance for Reishi.
- 1/9 chance for Nettle.
- 1/9 chance for Harebell.
- 1/9 chance for Amanita.
- 1/9 chance for Chanterelle.
- 1/9 chance for Tower Cap.
- 1/9 chance for Plump Helmets.
- 1/6 chance for Starthistle.
Here's a chart for reference on what you can grow.

Modifying Your Plants
Maybe you want to grow something more impressive than the tiny potatoes your plants probably produced. Or perhaps you got unlucky and harvested only one of each. A plant's stats determine all this and more, and true botanists are unafraid to PLAY GOD and change them!
Stats
- Age: Age of the plant, measured in cycles. Can be used to determine how a close a plant is to maturation or the next harvest. If it exceeds the plant's lifespan the plant starts taking damage each cycle
- Potency: The most important stat. Between 0 and 100. Basically, this determines plant power. Mostly affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
- Yield: How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
- Production Speed: How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10—the lower the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
- Endurance: Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often. Only truely relevant for Killer Tomatos
- Lifespan: When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Not important at all in plants that can only be harvested once, unless they die before harvest. Barely useful for the other ones, because you can always plant it again.
- Maturation Speed: Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
Weed vulnerability: The chance that weeds will grow each cycle. Goes from 0 to 100. With 100 being 100% chance of weeds growing and 0 being 0%.
- Weed Growth Rate: The amount weeds grow by when they do. Goes from 0 to 10, with 10 completely filling a tray with weeds and potentially causing an immediate overtake and 0 meaning weeds don't grow at all.
Traits
Some plants have special traits, that can be tranferred through the Plant DNA Manipulator.
- Bioluminescence: Causes the plant to glow, emitting light equal to 10% of potency.
- Bluespace Activity: Gives the plant bluespace properties, making it teleport people hit if the plant has Liquid Contents, and on slip if it has Slippery Skin.
- Capacitive Cell Production: Plants with this trait can be made into batteries with the addition of wire. Electrical Activity increases the cell's maximum charge.
- Densified Chemicals: Doubles the reagent capacity of the plant.
- Electrical Activity: Gives the plant electrical charge, making it recharge batteries when used; it will also electrocute on slip if it also has Slippery Skin and on hit if it has Liquid Contents.
- Fungal Vitality: The plant acquires mushroom-like properties, making it not need light or water.
- Gaseous Decomposition: Plants with this trait emit a smoke cloud when squashed, spewing reagents everywhere. Requires Liquid Contents to be useful.
- Hypodermic Prickles: Plants with this trait will sting when thrown, transferring a portion of their chemicals to the target.
- Liquid Contents: Causes the plant to squash when thrown, applying the reagents inside on the target and destroying the plant.
- Perennial Growth: Plants with this trait can be harvested more than once.
- Shadow Emission: Causes the plant to emit slightly purple shadows.
- Slippery Skin: Causes the plant, or any products of the plant, to become slippery. The stun time is (Potency _ 0.08), divided by 3 unless the plant has lube or is a banana. Maximum stun is 7 seconds.
- Strong Bioluminescence: Causes the plant to glow, emitting light equal to 20% of potency. * Weed Adaptation: The plant acquires weed-like properties, making it not need nutrients and immune to weeds in the tray.
Mutations
Plants mutate each harvest cycle, mutating more strongly the higher the mutation level of the tray. Those mutations only show up in the seeds, however, so those must be extracted, then sorted. Mutation level is increased by 3 things:
- Fertilizers: E-Z Nutriment, Robust Harvest and Earthsblood give 0 mutation level, Mutriment gives 10 and Left 4 Zed gives 15. It's important to note that Left 4 Zed also reduces yield to 1(this doesn't affect the stat, only the actual yield).
- Mutagens: Unstable Mutagen, as well as Radium or Uranium each increase mutation level by 1 per 1u added when added to the tray, up to 15 extra mutation level. This reduces by 1 each harvest cycle. note that crude radioactives will make the tray poisonous so should be added with care.
- Floral Somatoray: Will give +5 mutation level for one harvest.
There are a few mutation level thresholds to be aware of:
- Above a mutation level of 10, the final seed may become a different species, with higher levels increasing the chance.
- Above a mutation level of 20, a random trait may be added to the final seed, with higher levels increasing the chance.
- Above a mutation level of 30, the final seed will always become a different species if possible.
Do note that those are applicable for the 9th seed sorted and onwards when using a seed analyzer. For sorting in hand these are doubled, meaning you can't get new traits, and with a seed sorting tray they are 15, 30 and 45 respectively.
Increasing Stats
Disks
Any stat can be stored on a disk which can be used in the DNA Manipulator to replace the same stat on any seed.
The best and most important type of stat disk, however, is the core stat disk, which is created by extracting all core stas of a plant(aside from maturation) to a single disk. This requires multiples copies of seeds with the exact same stats and does not have any limit on the stat values,
meaning you can get perfect stats without any upgrades to your machines. The core stat disk is your primary way of getting good stats on your plants so you want to get one with 100 potency, 1 production and 10 yield as soon as you can.
There are 21 disks in the botany lockers at shift start and more can be made by RnD in case you run out.
Stat Mutation Increasing Chemicals
To make your core stat disk you will need seeds with the stas you need. Most stats, however, can only be modified by mutations, which are random. And while we can and do mutate many plants to pick the best ones there is also a way to focus on one specific stat at a time.
A tray or soil plot can be doped with one of 6 chemicals. Each increases the amplitude of mutation for a certain stat, and halves it for the others. Doping a tray with any reagent will override the previous one. Additionally charcoal will remove the doping agent from a tray.
The doping chemicals for each stat are:
- Potency: Saltpetre
- Production Speed: Diethylamine
- Yield: Ammonia
- Endurance: Cryoxadone
- lifespan: Omnizine
- Weed Growth rate And Weed vulnerabiliity: Saline Glucose Solution
The general way of imporving stats in this manner is as follows:
- Plant a plant with starting stats of your choosing in a tray or plot with a mutation level of 0.
- Harvest and extract seeds
- Plant enough seeds so that a full harvest will fill a plant bag with seeds.
- Sort the seeds, preferably using an analyzer.
- Take the best seed and plant it in place of the first one. Then repeat.
Since this requires many harvesting and planting cycles you'd ideally want plants that grow as fast as possible, so use plants with maturation and production rate that are as low as possible.
Getting stats from a low production plant onto a low maturation plant before starting the process is ideal, at which point you can focus on yield, to get more seeds, then potency.
Bees
Bees will passively increase the yield and potency of plants and they polinate them. They will also boost the amount harvested from the plants up to 20, but only if the trays they are in are not self sustaining.
This is technically more consistent than mutating, but it is much slower than a good mutation procedure and requires bees from cargo besides.
Advanced Hydroponics
Plant Chemistry
Plants have a normal capacity of 50u, independent of potency, which goes up to 100u with the densified chemicals trait.
The order of operations when determining which chemicals will end up in the plant, and in what amount, is:
- Add the reagent from the current gene in an amount that is potency multiplied by the amount specified in the gene, bound from above by the amount of space remaining for reagents.
- Perform all reactions between reagents in the plant as they would happen in any other container.
- Look at the next gene.
These two effects mean the plant will only have the reagents it has space for, with any excess being deleted.
For an example a plant with the reagent genes:
- 35% charcoal
- 20% ammonia
Will contain at 100 potency:
- 35u charcoal
- 15u of ammonia
And at 80 potency:
- 28u of charcoal
- 16u ammonia
An another example is a plant with 100 potency and the following reagent genes:
- 20% corn oil
- 25% sulphuric acid
- 20% ammonia
It will contain:
- 6u of glycerol
- 2u of corn oil
- 19u of sulphuric acid
- 20u of ammonia
However, with the same genes in a different order:
- 20% corn oil
- 20% ammonia
- 25% sulphuric acid
The plant would contain:
- 6u glycerol
- 2u corn oil
- 20u ammonia
- 4u sulphuric acid
Note that the total amount of reagents is changed because now the reaction happens after the last reagent was added to the plant, rather than before.
Trait Interactions
For the most part traits are quite straight forward, but some have interactions either with each other or plants with unique features that are worth noting:
- Strong Bioluminescence makes a plant produce a green light, but it changes to white light on wearable plants or on placeble plants(eg: glowcaps, glowshrooms, shadowshrooms) once they are placed.
- If a plant has both the Bluespace Activity and Liquid Contents traits and is squished in hand, or by being thrown at another creature, it will teleport before being squished, meaning any reagents will apply to the tile teleported to and any gas cloud that would be formed by Gaseous Decomposition would also be placed there. * Gaseous Decomposition both applies reagents to the skin and makes them breathable, so they act both inside and out. In addition, the effects of the cloud all apply at the moment a mob enters it, so all reagents are applied to the skin and breathed in immediately.
Additional Features
Beekeeping
So, you want to keep those little flying demons and extract their sweet honey? First you need to request a Beekeeping starting kit from your local cargo bay. The starter kit will contain the items that you will need to create a happy bee colony from scratch. We'll get through all of them later. Before we begin, keep in mind that when a starter kit is ordered from cargo you are expected to have complete responsibility for the bees in your future colony, so don't fuck up!
Preparing Your New Colony
Now that your crate has arrived it's time to get your hands dirty! Take your crate and head to the desired place where your colony will reside and open it there. Of course, as a botanist, the obvious place will be at hydroponics. Lets set up the apiary.
Aaand... Your first colony is ready!
Apiary Management
If you right-click and examine your apiary, it'll show some stats. The resource supply represents the amount of honey contained in the apiary. You need to have plants around your apiary so the bees can produce resources. While the bees fly around the plants the resource supply will rise, simple as that. When you check the apiary, it'll show the amount of resources needed to create a new honeycomb or a new bee in the moment that you checked it. A new bee costs 50 resources, while a new honeycomb costs 100 resources. These honeycombs can be ground up into honey, a sweet substance that has minor healing properties, and can be used to make certain foods and drinks.
Genetic Manipulation
The queen bee can also be injected with chemicals to cause the resulting bees to have special properties. To do so, simply use a syringe with the chemical of your choice on the queen bee before putting it in the apiary. You can change the queen's chemical as many times as you want. When a bee is created from an altered queen, it'll carry the same chemical that the queen was injected with.
When a honeycomb is created by an altered bee, half of its chemical content will be the same as the chemical injected in the bee, with the other half being honey. This creates an easy method of 'farming' chemicals that may be hard to get. The last effect that the chemical will have is the bee sting. When stung, a small amount of chemical will be delivered in the sting. Although not an ideal method, this can be used to inject people with healing chemicals, or possibly harmful chemicals for those traitors looking to cause chaos.
Keep'em Tame
Better protect your apiary, a single greytide can disrupt the bees and throw them in a rampage. That said, desrupting a colony can be done by attacking the apiary or attacking the bees directly. Keep the bees in their assigned space and don't let them roam around the station, they'll 100% cause trouble if that happens. Although, with the overpopulation problem there is no way you will be able to control ALL the bees. Expect the crew to see the insects at least one time flying around outside Hydroponics. Equip the beekeeper suit and hat in case they get angry!
Dealing with Kudzu
Kudzu is a special plant that can appear as a random event or you can grow it by allowing weeds to overtake Soybeans. (That might result in other weed-type plants, too.) It is a type of space vine that grows and mutates on its own.
Usual plant stats affect active kudzu in the specific way:
- Potency: The higher the potency, the more the kudzu will mutate on spread. The chance to mutate on each new piece is [potency / 10].
- Production Speed: It determines how fast the kudzu spreads. By default, it spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30. Production Speed changes the cap by [30 * production / 50] and the percent of processed pieces per tick by [20 * (production / 50)].
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed on its place with all the mutations of the piece saved in the seed, so if you reactivate it, the new first piece will have all the same mutations the seed has and will spread it to all the progenitors. Kudzu can gain mutations on spread or by adding special chemicals to it while the seed is growing (see below).
Mutations
Positive
Color | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Glassy | Makes the kudzu occasionally drop a glass sheet upon destroying it. | |
Glimmering | Makes the kudzu occasionally drop a diamond, gold, or silver sheet upon destroying it. | |

Fireproof | Makes the kudzu resistant to every kind of fire (including plasma fire). | |
Vine-Eating | Makes the kudzu eat every non-vine-eating kudzu tiles. | |
Virulently Spreading | Makes the kudzu spread thicker. |
Negative
Color | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Aggressive Spreading | Makes the kudzu deal a small explosion upon spreading, destroying windows and other weak objects. It cannot get through reinforced walls. | |
Explosive | Makes the kudzu explode upon death. It induces a chain reaction. | |
Flowering | Makes the kudzu occasionally spawn aggressive flower buds. Every tile can snare passersby. | |
Hardened | Makes the kudzu resistant to sharp objects (halves their damage). Every hardened tile has doubled health. | |
Thorny | Makes the kudzu deal brute damage to whoever passes its tiles, or is deals damage to it. | |
Toxic | Makes the kudzu deal toxic damage to whoever passes its tiles, or eats it. |
Mutating Kudzu
Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
- Adding 5u of welding fuel will remove random positive mutation with a 20% probability
- Adding 5u of phenol will remove a random minor negative mutation with a 20% probability
- Adding 5u of sterilizine will remove a random negative mutation with a 20% probability
- Adding 15u of blood will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from -5 to +15
- Adding 5u of amatoxin will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from -15 to +5
- Adding 5u of plasma will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from -15 to +5
- Adding 10u of holy water will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from -5 to +15
Notes
- Scythes, sharp objects, and fire deals four times more damage to kudzu.
- Crossing kudzu can snare the crosser, but it doesn't deal damage. Unless it has the Thorny or Toxic mutations.
- Only destroying every vine tile stops the kudzu from spreading.
- The Chef's goat can destroy vines rapidly.
- Vines cannot spread diagonally.
- One tile can only capture one person.
- Glyphosate can wither kudzu with a 50% chance. You can find it in Plant-B-Gone bottles or ask the chemist for some.
- Aliens do not slash vines upon attacking them but eat them.
Expanding Your Growing Space
Whether you wish to grow plants in other places, or simply need more space, you can easily do so by construciting soil plots from either sandstone or soil clumps. Soil clumps can be made in the biogenenerator or in the compost bin, while sandstone can be made by using either sand or volcanic ash in hand(same way as with grass). By using three sandstone bricks or soil clumps you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except it cannot be moved, you can walk over it and there are no lights. Sandstone can also be used to make other structures.
Additionally, science can build hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
Wooden Products
Wood and wood-based accessories can be made with the Towercap mushroom. Use the hatchet (or other sharp object) on Towercap logs to chop some planks. These have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on.
- A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done. You can dry any plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.
- You can use planks to also build fermenting barrels. Shove some plants in and they become fermented alcohols with their various reagents over time.
- Using 10 planks you can make a compost bin. It converts plants to biomass at the same rate as an unupgraded biogenenerator and converts 20% of the stored biomass into compost every 10 seconds(minimum 10 converted). If also filled with either ash or potassium, it will instead convert biomass to saltpetre crystals. Growing 2 crystals consumes 6 biomass and 1 ash, and growing 1 crystal requires 8 biomass and 1 potassium. Ash will be consumed first and the amount of biomass consumed will not exceed the amount that would be consumed when making compost. Saltpetre crystals each yield 8u of saltpetre when ground. Soil clumps can be made from the compost at the cost of 25 compost per clump.
