Farmers Apply Micronutrients With Farm station turned off.

Farm stations were affected by the change introduced for Power Control Stations/Power plants (room type). This happened for the Bionic Update, if I recall correctly.

Microchip & Micronutrient delivery can no longer be automated by controlling their respective stations.

Now each and every item that can be tinkered with (plants/generators) has to be toggled by the player manually. You'd have to remove the Farm station so the room is no longer a Greenhouse if you don't want to toggle micronutrient delivery for each plant.

I've complained about this change since it came about as it renders automating the control stations useless.

You win some, you lose some.

They nerfed the ability to disable the power control station to prevent tune-ups?   Why?

There was a revision to power plant rooms so that they'd no longer require a power control station to function as such. Quoting, from update 642443:

This had the effects I described above on the greenhouse room.

I particularly miss the ability to automate this aspect of the tinkering errand, but hey, progress.

Oh wow, so you don't even need the power control station anymore?  Just two generators in a room and you can tune them? Wow.
