Typical hydroponic-grown crops in Vanilla RimWorld +get deleted when harvested, and thus work fine. Trees however, are not, and do not get deleted once harvested. + +You can expect any crops like this to not work well within the basins added by Hydroponics Expanded. + +Feel free to provide details on what crops fail to grow properly, and I can provide patches, even if it's simply +preventing the crop from being sown in the hydroponics in the first place (there is only so much I can do, after all). ## Recipes - [Vanilla Hydroponics][hydroponics-basin] (for reference) - - 100 steel, 1 component - - 2,800 work, Construction 4 - - 4 plants, 280% fertility + - 100 steel, 1 component + - 2,800 work, Construction 4 + - 1x4 Bay, 4 plants, 280% fertility - Compact Hydroponics - - 280 steel, 3 components @ 210 W - - 4,200 work, Construction 6 - - 12 plants, 280% fertility + - 280 steel, 3 components @ 210 W + - 4,200 work, Construction 6 + - 1x4 Bay, 12 plants, 280% fertility - Dense Hydroponics - - 600 steel, 80 plasteel, 6 components, 1 advanced component @ 750 W - - 5,000 work, Construction 8 - - 28 plants, 300% fertility + - 600 steel, 80 plasteel, 6 components, 1 advanced component @ 750 W + - 5,000 work, Construction 8 + - 2x6 Bay, 28 plants, 300% fertility - Ultra Hydroponics - - 850 steel, 120 plasteel 8 components, 3 advanced components @ 1,500 W - - 7,000 work, Construction 10 - - 40 plants, 315% fertility + - 850 steel, 120 plasteel 8 components, 3 advanced components @ 1,500 W + - 7,000 work, Construction 10 + - 1x4 Bay, 40 plants, 315% fertility - Quantum Hydroponics - - 1600 steel, 200 plasteel, 12 components, 5 advanced components @ 2,200 W - - 9,500 work, Construction 12 - - 65 plants, 340% fertility + - 1600 steel, 200 plasteel, 12 components, 5 advanced components @ 2,200 W + - 9,500 work, Construction 12 + - 2x6 Bay, 65 plants, 340% fertility + +[banner]: ./About/Preview.png + +[workshop-link]: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005196131 [hydroponics-basin]: https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Hydroponics_basin + [rimworld]: https://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/RimWorld/ \ No newline at end of file
