A temp shift plate behind the light usually helps slow down the spread of heat from the lamp And yes cold water effects the plants temperature more than the lamps Also with the new cosmic upgrade you can stop the heat transfer completely with some well placed windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved air locks for blocking gas and maintaining temperature without stressing dupes (no water locks) 3. Add sweepers 4.

Lazy-Anemic Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yeah, that is odd. Yo @Neotuck is that a pre-CU save or is it one of those bugged "ghost" tiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLance Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I am gonna ask the noob question, if water/food for plants is not a scarece resource, is there any point of using a farming station? I have a set design for my bristle blossom farm for instance which 16 bristle berries, which is collected by sweeper arms, my pincha peppernuts and mushrooms are the same except there is 18 of them.

PhailRaptor Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 If you are not using the Farming Station, you will require a larger number of plants (not quite double) in order to produce the same quantity of kCals per cycle. That rate is the second biggest factor in your "Dupe ceiling", or rather, how many Dupes you can support. By nearly doubling the number of plants, you are also nearly doubling the amount of resources going to support those plants, as well as the time needed to feed and, more importantly since Sweepers can't, harvest those plants. On top of that, double the plants means double the space, which then leads to further logistical inefficiencies from Dupe pathing, resource flow, etc. It's kind of the same idea as playing Tall vs Wide in Civilization. Different approaches require different strategies, with their own needs and capabilities that are quite different. You will path your way through the tech tree differently, what buildings you put in your cities will be different, where and how many cities will be different. Size of your military which, in turn, changes what your economy looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't harvest but if you double the number of plants again to adjust for the time it takes for plants to drop their crops then you can make a fully automated farm that requires no dupe interaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Currently my farms do not require any dupe interaction, but I have Bristle Berry, Pincha Peppernut, Mushrooms and Eventually sleet wheat farms running at the same time. So I have a large variety of food growing in small farm areas, Currently they are all sealed rooms so temperature is not an issue, but if I have to have a dupe go to and from a room then temperature might be an issue since my farms are so close together. I was thinking of using tubes to do it but I have never actually used them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
