Bubblebox Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I like a lot about the new update but some things with the germ system is like pulling teeth! For example to increase food yield (if you like a big colony like I do) then it is good to use farming or aquatic tiles. BUT poo from toilet makes contaminated fertiliser with makes contaminated farm tile etc etc. Is there any way to keep farm tiles free from contamination or are they obsolete now? Overall I think the medical system needed fleshing out but the way it has been done really is like pulling contaminated teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloomRide Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Contaminated food tiles aren't anything to worry about, really. It shouldn't affect your dupes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I haven't actually gotten to the point where I"m farming everything, but I did notice the phenomenon. Which plants give better yield when fertilized now? I know that was a thing in the farming update, yes. But now it seems pointless, especially with mealwood - I was giving them the full treatment and still only getting 8 meal lice off them. Seems this is the intent given the info screen. So I just use the planter boxes and increase my planting - did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolthulhu Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The only plant that uses Fertilizer brand fertilizer is Sleet Wheat. At the moment it is heavily underpowered and there is no reason to farm it. So it isn't the fertilizer that is causing this contamination, it's just that your dupes used contaminated dirt or clay. Clay can sometimes be very contaminated due to wonky germ population rules. The farm tile doesn't contaminate the plant, though. Neither does contaminated slime contaminate the shrooms grown from it. The only thing that matters is that your dupes wash their hands before handling the fruit from the plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3rR1z Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I had germs on my plants and farm plots, I uprooted those plants and decontaminated the farm plots then moved the seeds into a chlorine chamber. I now keep fertiliser in chlorine. Chlorine is honestly the greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 You can remove germs from fertilizer using ore scrubber. And you can remove germs from polluted water using heat, e.g. with liquid tepidizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
