make sure the area is air tight and it has a ventilator

Yes. Any grow room has to be hermetically sealed - airtight - and therefore requires a powered ventilator.

ahhh. Okey im working on it . Thank you

[Kalibre]

Sealed and airtighted. Now growing :)

No, you do not need a ventilator. Only power and a 100% sealed.

Not on an oxygen planet.

They will die instantly if there is any exposure to the outside for even an instant.

If both rooms are connected and sealed and it's only a dividing wall, knocking it out is ok.

If not sealed add a air tight door to the wall, then bust it open behind the door.

Turn on the grow light.

it sure doesnt make any sense why a farm doesnt grow open air on a temperate planet...
on planets with high radiation.. or 50+ temperature or -10 all day and night.. sure that makes sense they would die..
but on a temperate planet? normal wheat and all? it grows in the wild out there too.

Correction - they will die instantly if the Temp is sufficent to kill them - I don't know how many times I've said it - on Akua you can build grow plots outdoors but don't expect the crops to survive overnight. Tempeture and Radiation are the reasons the Grow Plots need a sealed (airtight) interior.

I should also note that mountainous terrain is bad for outdoor farms - Higher Elevations have colder tempetures.

Also just fyi - this is also the reason I can power down my CV and not lose the grow plots (albeit only for a few seconds)

Also I don't remember the exact stats - but crops iin EGS are MUCH more sensitive to temp than their real-world counterparts - if you can't live there without a shelter or a suit (at all - not light) chances are your crops die instantly.

I have a similar problem. I'm an experienced player and have built numerous farms as an integral part of my bases but lately I've been having troubles. On one MP server I have a large underground farm (27 or so plots) and only the plots along one wall will stay alive. I've also noticed the termp varies in the room from plot to plot between 71 and 77 degrees. On another server, with 18 plots, only the center plots stay alive. Both examples will produce a few full harvests but after leaving the playfield or signing out for a day, I return to find most plants dead. I've checked O2, block integrity, power, radiation, etc. but I'm at a loss why all of the sudden I can't keep most plants alive. The only thing in common is both bases are from the workshop. I'm considering tearing down that area and rebuilding it to see if it help. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

This bug is caused by incomplete rendering upon loading the playfield which may cause temporary loss of the airseal. The same bug can allow internal components of a vessel get damaged shortly after switching playfields in a fight (in PVP), similar but different to the so called lagshots.

A workaround for farms that usually helps is to put another airtight compartment around the grow area which delays the environment check that kills your plants long enough until the structure is fully rendered.
