Organic fertiliser

[pdamo]

Hi anyone know what to do with excess organic fertiliser there are only so many fields I can supply !!

How do you get so much? I'm struggling to produce enough Organic and tier-1!

I can easily turn the tier-1 Fertilizer into tier-2, the problem is that I have very little of the tier-1.

You're clearly running lean on agriculture, congrats. I never have enough. If you're making too much organic fertilizer that probably means you have too much compost, so you're probably grinding up something that would be better used elsewhere unless it's all from settlement waste.

Dump the surplus compost on top of barren or landfill ground and it becomes dirt, suitable for expanding your farms. Then grow something that consumes a lot of fertility, like soybeans or sugarcane, which you can flip into industrial goods.

(Side note, why are soybeans so fertility-draining? They're a nitrogen fixer, they should be improving the soil, there's a reason they're in the rotation beyond how much cows and other vegetarians love them)

What you can do is find places in the factory where oxygen is being used (like the steel plant or fermentation) and then capture the nitrogen from the air separator to make more ammonia. When I capped out on research I no longer needed liquid nitrogen to make lab equipment, so I flipped those plants over to making ammonia (I trucked in some hydrogen for the purpose).

qq - are you definitely using it? because i had the same issue and then discovered if you don't set the slider for fertiliser up it literally just stores it in the farms tank! doh!

Pretty sure you didn't set the target fertility slider up. Your fert isn't doing anything until you do that and setting it to 100% will chug fert.

Stuff like this is why I read Forums lol.
