Not getting max greenhouse effect...
I made a new room with metal foundations and everything else is only greenhouse items. Using the sloped roof (and the triangles to close the gaps). Once I finished the room effectiveness I reached 285% as I closed the room (from 250%) but I cant make it go to 300%. The room dimensions are 4x2 blocks and only 1 high. Anyone experienced this?

p.s. I am trying with large crop plots

I just tried with medium crop plot and stil 285%....

I get 300%... but my room is NOT fully closed (still in construction...). This is really strange.

Yes..... of all the people it had to be me.... I just cant accept it :P

OK if I add a greenhouse ceiling on the top of the greenhouse sloped roof I do get 300% but it looks ugly as hell.....

OK it seems its a matter of nubmers. If I add one greenhouse ceiling somewhere in the structure I get 300%. It doesnt even matter where, so I guess u need that to add up to the rest of your effect. Hope this helps u guys

the only thing that matter for the % is how close the crop is to a ceiling with exposed sky.

I have exactly the same dimensions and get 285% as well. And as for the comment about 'how close' that has absolutely nothing to do with it. I have a structure that's basically 5 high, with one huge sloped ceiling of greenhouse bits. The only way I could get those to 300% was to install a bunch of greenhouse walls as well, and it didn't seem to matter where.

There's something off in that calculations. A 2x4x1 greenhouse with sloped roofs and completely sealed gets 285%. With normal roofs and not completely sealed it gets 300% in most spaces.

This is my greenhouse. It is three foundations wide and four long with one wall high, angled roofing in and another ceiling on top. I have three large crop plots on the left and right with four medium in the middle. Each crop plot says 300% greenhouse effect. The only metal, is the foundations and the pipes used for irrigation.

Maybe you can model it near mine and get the full effect.

Had the same problem.
3x3 metal foundations
1 wall high greenhouse walls
then only greenhouse ceilings
-> 285%
Made then a 2nd "roof" above the ceiling with greenhouse slopped roofs (like in the pic above) and got the 300%

This sounds unintentional. This could all just be a bug.

Could be xD
But with the slopped roof on the left & right (and ceilings in middle part) it does look better anyway xD

I have two greenhouses, both fully enclosed. One is at 300%, the other is at a measly 75%. Both are almost identical.
I don't get it.

I only get 255% effect.

I think it has something to do with sloped roofs. Using a standard ceiling appears to give the full effect at 1 wall high, but the sloped roof does not.

Oh well, I can live with 255%.
