BlueLance Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 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 24 minutes ago, Neotuck said: Fuel for farmers station Ooooh is that what it is used for.... pity all my plots are sealed...

leoroy Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Well, I do use fertilizer since I'm kind of short in water in my current base and it helps me using less water for my berries.

BlueLance Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Can the fertilizer boost be sent via sweeper arms etc? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92350-fertilizer-useless/#findComment-1053353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoroy Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Nop, the best you can do is send the fertilizer produced next to the farm. You can easily automate completely the production of fertilizer, but not the "farmer touch".

BlueLance Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Thats fine though, I could have it created in one room, loaded into the hopper and the arms deliver it to the plants?

Sevio Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 29 minutes ago, turbonl64 said: 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.

he77789 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Bluelance, have you never ever seen a farmer do the farmer touch? They use their harvest tool not the sweep tool and it is a farm errand instead of a deliver errand.

Neotuck Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just now, turbonl64 said: 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 15 minutes ago, BlueLance said: Thats fine though, I could have it created in one room, loaded into the hopper and the arms deliver it to the plants?

Bobanaut Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 but without fertilizer, how do i feed my sage hatches for free? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/92350-fertilizer-useless/#findComment-1053613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevio Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 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.

Giltirn Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 You can feed clay to normal hatches? Nice! I've been using a pOx scrubbing system for my oxygen with a morb farm and pOx geyser to supply it; now I can get coal with the spoils!
