Auto pantry/water butt

[Stealth]

I was wondering how fast these items generate food/water. Does it make late game too easy?

[Cactuskiller]

they are very slow, both 1 meal/water per day i think (so 1 meal/water per day for each), and cost much, so not very OP

Pretty slow rate on purpose for balancing reasons. Auto pantry is worth building for the large food storage, allowing you to stay in the shelter for months and even years if you build multiple of those.

Auto Water Butt doesn't provide more than the largest, but build a few of those and you get steady water supply to combat droughts, but by the time you have access to that, you already are in end game.

an auto pantry can reasonably keep 6 people in food virtually indefinitely.
6 auto water butts ends your water worries for good. even with constant expeditions i never drop below 250 water. it makes the water condensor superfluous.

What baffles me is that the indoor gardens seem useless and annoying, and the auto pantry is overpowered. Seems like making the indoor garden a little more useful would have been a better way to go.

The auto pantry uses a lot of ground space. I had removed all auto pantries in favor of Small Pantries, which are wall mounted, when I ran out of storage box spaces.
