Neotuck Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I was pip planting some bristle blossoms when I ran into a problem, the lamps would heat up the plants too much till they wilted However a wheezewort would cool them too fast so I had to find some way to automate them when I reached the ideal temp I discovered that a planter box can disable a planted wheezewort if there is no tile below it. Using a mech door automated with thermal sensors did the trick! Thinking of updating my warm water sleet wheat farm design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharraShimada Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Another way would be to place the lamps in a glass box, and cooling the thing inside only. No heat to the plants anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkstorm Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I would recommend making a cooler box nearby and just running piping through the planted area. Attach the atmo sensor to the sweeper in the cooler box. Here are a few examples from my current playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junksteel Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I'm sure this is not the design you're going for right now but I achieved nice results using wild wheezeworts to plant bristle blossoms. You cut dupe work that won't have to fertilize them and the 1/4 cooling from the wild wort seemed to balance the heat from light source perfectly.

I did this placing a natural park in front of bedrooms with 3 blossoms and 1 wort each room. You might be right as they were also dealing not directly with the more "spread heat" of the whole living area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are making a natural park you could place a wild shine bug in the room, they don't generate heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this case bugs wandered way too much to the spot away from the blossoms. Honestly it was a just a little, but it triggered my OCD and I installed a single ceiling lamp in each room which actually helped to achieve the temperature balance. It was getting way too cold without the lamps. I'll post a ss when I get home... I actually kept the bugs there because of the egg shells but also the lights because of the heat and also the worts to deal with part of the heat. How much heat exactly I have no idea. Doesn't seem very efficient, right? That's what happens when you love this game but don't care about math and is actually terrible at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slvrsrfr Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 are the shines glum, confined? I didn't even notice that they were dirt planted, and not in a 'cultivating' tile. In the 1st pic. This is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My solution was to run a circulating pipe with a radiant segment at each lamp. Your solution is very elegant, and on maps with wheezewarts, I may use this idea.

I have also been looking at using wild shine bugs as well, and this has been my best solution so far. The phenumatic doors is so wild shine eggs can be dropped inside and eggshells can be collected I also turned them into nature parks just for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
