Greenhouse help.
Is there a limit to how big I should build before the greenhouse effect is capped?

Like I'm thinking a simple 8x8 over the ocean (I live on a beach with a instant drop into deep water) Its my perma base, I like it where I live, so is 8x8 a good idea? Or maybe downscale?

You could build a 4x5 where all the walls are made of stone or metal and have 20 ceilings as the only greenhouse pieces.

I like this one.

You can change it slightly but Aaron's is also near minimum amount of greenhouse pieces needed for the 300% cap, while also looking good.

Everything that's directly under a greenhouse ceiling or slope will receive the greehouse effect unless there is something blocking the crop plot and the greenhouse ceiling. Game is not well made enough to understand how a greenhouse should be made.
