Watering Plants

[Zedd]

Would be nice if you had to water your plants.

As it is plants provide so much free water that the water filtration device is completely redundant.

Well since the game takes place in the future, you could say that the plant pots have a built-in watering system.

The windows in my base are engineered to maintain a comfortable level of humidity using the water around my base. The synthetic potting soil is designed to draw available moisture out of the air.

You still using a watering can? =-p

Hahaha, yeah ok I see your point.

I mean totally from a game balance pov though. Don't know about you but I have a closet full of large water bottles.

Also there isn't an off switch for the water filter...so it keeps pumping them out even though I don't need them ><

So if you have a constant supply, why collect more than you need? Same principle with picking up fish and minerals in the area. Stockpiling things you don't know that you will ever use is wasteful in terms of your time and continual availability around you.

Still it'd be nice tho. Water your small cute plants with a regular watering can with awesome features. .w.

Why would the devs add a redundant feature?

I do appreciate the idea. I propose a variation of the living wall called a hydroponic wall. It would have a few 2x2 spots for larger plants and mostly single block spots for smaller plants. Pretty much adding multiple plant shelves to a wall panel like the living wall and having tubes, filters, and sprayers for immersion purposes.

Variation on the same theme. Why have more than one model of planter pot? Why have more than one model of chair?

IRLare all your shirts the same style and color? all cars? c'mon man...

I was reffering to having to water your plants, not a variation of pots.

Would add some Harvest Moon touch. I do vote for barns for keeping the sea cows (Gasopods).

In ways that's a nice idea for immersion, but I'm not watering my plants by hand - too many plants, too many bases!
