Fertilizer useless?


Recommended Posts

Does sleet wheat not use it? I am unsure I have not actually started growing them yet.

Mealwood = Dirt

Mushroom = Slime

Pincha Peppers = Phosphorite

Bristle Blossoms = Water

Sleet Wheat = Dirt

I just don't build lavatories anymore; outhouses produce polluted dirt, which can be composted for normal dirt. Yes I think that is giving a positive loop.

Avoiding lavatories is the worst thing you can do for your dirt supply. The outhouse produces the same amount of polluted dirt as the dirt that is used up, giving you a net zero. (or mildly negative if you account the occasional offgasing) Meanwhile, each lavatory use lets you use 11.7 kg polluted water to turn into some ~250 g of new dirt with the water sieve and compost, Plus you end up with 6.7 kg more fresh water than you had before.

They also use dirt

The best positive polluted dirt is from water sieves

Ah I thought I had a positive loop somewhere b/c my dirt reserves just kept growing and growing. My bad.

I will have to check the numbers it might still be positive but I'm sure you get more with a lavatory + water sieve

Thats fine though, I could have it created in one room, loaded into the hopper and the arms deliver it to the plants?

Nope only farmers can apply micro nutrients

You can feed them food made with abundant resources (bristleblossom maybe?) to keep them alive easily, but they won't make much coal for you. Dirt is the best way to make them produce coal, but that's a strained resource now. With renewable regolith, switching to polluted oxygen production with deodorizers and feeding clay to normal hatches is not a bad alternative though.
