Help getting polymer at greenhouse please

[nikolaithejedi]

So I'm having trouble being able to make polymer at my outpost. I've scanned the Spitting Pokeweed to 100% along with the Flocking Leafbug Filterer which both give polymer. Problem is when I get to my greenhouse to make some it still says additional scanning required. SOO what in the world do I have to do

Some plants cannot be grown in your greenhouse. It will say specifically when looking at them with the scanner (at 100%) if they can be grown.

The other thing of note is if you scanned the plants to 100% BEFORE getting botany, you need to re-scan them to get the growable plant to register.

That said here is a prior post I made that should help:

Thank you sooo much! I didn't even noticed that when you scanned it totally missed that somehow. I was getting so mad trying to figure this out on my own

the easiest way to get polymer is to contact ships in the space and trade

The easiest way to get MASSIVE quantities of polymer is to make a greenhouse.

If you only need a little bit of polymer, sure merchants are a better option.

But once you have a greenhouse you never need it again
