Not enough mushrooms

[Gaz]

I have been everywhere, emptied all the crates but still don't have enough seeds to grow enough mushrooms to make bioplastic. I am using the outdoor farm to grow all my mushrooms. Is there a way to get more mushrooms?

No other way, mushroom seeds are rarer than other seeds. Hope to have them in space trades soon. Lol.

I hope so too.

watch for the meteor that drops the blue chests. I've gotten a few mushrooms as drops from them.

I have never seen a meteor that drops blue chests. Is that very late in the game? I'm on 4.64TTi

You should have seen some by now, but they are very rare. Some have reported that they have only seen 1 in 8 hours of game play.

What colour does the screen go when the meteor comes? And I'll keep an eye out.

It doesn't change, but it makes the same noise as the pulsar quartz one.
As a side note, I have found 4 outdoor farms with mushrooms in to be perfectly fine for my bioplastic needs. I don't really rush things though.

Ok, thanks!

I think I am lucky, I have 10 mushroom outdoorfarm and a half full container.

There is a little trick to increase your farm plots output. After a harvest, remove the seed pack and put it back in again. The farm will grow double the produce now.
But you have to do that everytime you load up your save file. The increased yield will not carry over into the next time you load your game up.

You can use the same bug to make a single crop plot grow different crops simultaneously.

I have around 30 mushroom farms, but it's not enough

The meteor that drops blue chests is always a single one and moves very slowly.

It's possible that you need to build a trading Rocket platform and launch a rocket to make this latest meteor event possible.

This makes me wonder what you are trying to do if 150 mushrooms/75 bioplastic per complete growth isn't enough.
