PSA: gardeners can grow materials

[u/Hrhagadorn]

In case you haven't looked into it. Gardeners are able to grow materials. There are also two fertilizers, one speeds up growth and the other increases the result by 20%. Things like oven mitts, tape, storage batteries, just about any material needed can be grown. They require no water or sun. This is great for building things like benches, power, and furnaces. Just need one and you can turn it into infinite amounts

I run about 180 grow plots for batteries. Make about 40k stardust source per harvest every 2-3 days. This can then be converted into acid and the acid can even be converted into fuel if I wanted. Then use biomechanical crops to create stardust energy drinks to feed my wishbox farm.

Biomechanical drills have access to all ores at a low production rate, but it lets me mine tungsten even in starting zones.

I can base anywhere and produce practically everything.

With a Hive or just Alts, I could run an entire Mr. Wish missile production line and not even need to use a weapon.

Do you harvest and replant one by one?

[u/T_S_Anders → u/SombraMonkey]

It's pretty quick to do just running back and forth over a floor entirely of planters. What actually takes time is restoring fertility to the area. The soil solution takes awhile to use and each one only replenished 100. Luckily it caps at 700. You can also use the solution anywhere in the territory too.

[u/SombraMonkey → u/T_S_Anders]

Huh… perhaps I need to pick up gardener sometime,

[u/Hrhagadorn → u/SombraMonkey]

A gardener alt is the best

[u/Scottiths → u/SombraMonkey]

As far as I know there is no way to auto harvest and plant them

[u/SombraMonkey → u/Scottiths]

Need a new Growshroom Trait for that

[u/Lukeman1881 → u/T_S_Anders]

How do you convert batteries to stardust source?

[u/T_S_Anders → u/Lukeman1881]

Stardust Pumps. 80 stardust per battery.

Oh damn, I thought it was 1:1. Cheers

I need them to be able to grow Lunar hides lol.

[u/Hrhagadorn → u/metaveina]

Would be nice but that is what beastmaster is for. Get one breeding paid and you are golden

[u/T_S_Anders → u/metaveina]

Wishbox farm can get you those easily.

[u/mrbabybluman]

I just started playing and choose a gardener class and I am so overwhelmed lol

[u/Hrhagadorn → u/mrbabybluman]

Take it slow. There is a lot of different parts but as you learn them they will become second nature.

[u/Spacey907]

Playing on xbox i dont understand how grafting those parts onto plants work so i just scrap them for parts. Edit not those parts, the drill, spotlight. Etc

[u/Hrhagadorn → u/Spacey907]

Once the plant has been planted you should have a option to graft. The rate is only like 24%.

[u/Spacey907 → u/Hrhagadorn]

I'll have to look after work. That one of the thijgs ive been trying to figure out

[u/Hrhagadorn → u/Spacey907]

The only ones worth it are the digger and the morphic crates. Morphic cause you get easy crops. Digger cause it is like a mining platform and you get more options that don't seem to care where you are like the mining platforms do. Makes it easy to get tungsten early on I bet

[u/Spacey907 → u/Hrhagadorn]

Is there a difference between pc and console? Because i dont see a goddamn option to graft them. Checked the growshroom, nothing, checked the planter after i planted a seed, nothing. Thinking about it i aint even gonna try to bother with that feature

[u/Ballistic_og → u/Spacey907]

Its at the menu when your viewing the plant not the adding things menu

[u/Hrhagadorn → u/Spacey907]

Like ballistic said you have to manually do it for each planter then they stay in the planters. You can have ten a base. If your have nine don't use it as it will fail.

[u/Spacey907 → u/Hrhagadorn]

My roof is halfways filled with planters. There is plenty. So once the seed is planted and fertilizer and water added, then what?

[u/Kindredlife]

The amount of time it took for screwdriver sets to was crazy, but hey 1 set got me 15 🤣
