Greenhouse

[3xtR1m]

So, newest patch introduced greenhouse effect which is cool but, how am i supposed to build a greenhouse if those damn glass walls break while there's a storm..? I can't seem to get that greenhouse effect bonus without being at my base every single time that there's a storm so i can repair them walls. Any suggestions?

You probably can cheese it by building crop plots inside stone building.
And than put one glass wall somewhere inside, where it won’t get damage.

According to patchnotes, crop plots only check if there is some glass structure anywhere around to get buff. Does not have to be surrounded by glass, does not need to see sky (glass roof).

Still,sucks they did not fix glass with patch that introduced greenhouse…

It sucks big time. Glass walls needs iron to build , it doesn't make sense to break that easily.

I just spent a few days gathering resources to make a greenhouse to grow food for me and my future mounts.

I had the walls up when a storm hit. I kept hearing glass breaking noises and sure enough, my unfinished greenhouse is being destroyed.

I'm done with this version. I'll wait for them to let us build a greenhouse that can withstand storms.

Give glass more HP or give us a recipe for a more durable glass and don't make us cheese it by making overhangs, etc.

Glass bench needs water hooked up to make the better greenhouse.

I haven't built glass shelters yet.

In my opinion, glass should stand up to everything short of being struck by a good sized felled tree.

Glass should be immune to rain,wind and lightening storms.

They need to make the glass so you can actually see through it. Its totally blurry. You are supposed to be able to see out of windows like there is almost nothing there. The glass in this game is so blurry that it totally defeats the purpose of putting windows in your base. Might as well just use shudders if you actually want to enjoy the view from your base. The glass is awful.

Glass is useless unless you make it with water hooked up, and even then its just stone with less total health. any map that needs concrete level resistance it still doesnt work, and you need late t4 to even make it.

making glass, aluminium, innerwood, and thatch all useless. they are mentioning work on brick, and i wonder how that will come into balance and if its even needed with how bad most materials are already. why not better balance whats already at play.
