This can be changed by selecting a basin and selecting a different plant in the menu.Įach basin has a cleanliness value of -3, making a large hydroponics farm a very 'dirty' prospect. Rice plants are the default crops to be grown in newly-built hydroponics basins. Therefore, growing potatoes yields much less nutrition per day as growing rice does, but (having a longer cycle) requires less labor to harvest and re-plant. When choosing a plant for the hydroponics basin, it should be considered that they have differing fertility sensitivities and growth cycles. The following plants can be grown in hydroponics basins:

Sun lamps provide a small source of heat (see that article for details), but any extreme weather will require additional heat if cold temperatures are expected. With an environment just outside of their comfortable range, plants will not grow at 100%, and if too far outside of that range, they will die. Plants also need heat when it's cold and cooling when it's too hot. ( Standing lamps only provide 50% lighting and do not 'stack', so are not enough for crop growth.) Sun lamps are required if you're growing indoors as they are the only artificial lighting source that provides enough lighting for plant growth. Crop plants require at least 51% light during the day and need a temperature within their comfortable range (see specific articles for details). Similarly, for any indoor hydroponics, consider the power demands of any sun lamps you'll be using (see next), which are just as critical for plant growth.Ī powered basin provides only soil fertility all other plant growth conditions must still be met. Make sure you have a steady supply of power, and an independent, reliable backup system (or two!). Although a small demand, without that 70 watts of power any crops in a basin will begin to die. Power is absolutely critical to hydroponics, and cannot be stressed enough. They require 100 Steel, 1 Component, 2,800 ticks ( 46.67 secs) of work, and a Construction skill of 4.

Hydroponics basins can be constructed once the Hydroponics research project has been completed.
