Farming is tedious

[IHaveNoMercy]

The farming plots are so much baby sitting, there needs to be some form of irrigation, and better water acquisition, like a vat of tainted water that can be boiled and used to irragate a higher tier farm plot. We are scientists after all!

as much fun as i'm having with abiotic factor, this game could benefit from some level of automation

Planters use way more water than before. It caught me off guard.

Before it was so little you pretty much forgot about needing to water them.

seems to be roughly 20-30m for a single planter of 400ml cap with 1ml/s drain, then we made the medium quad planter, which holds 1650ml but drains 4ml/s
approximately. I go on a quick venture to another area for 30m to come back to all my tomato plants dead. Not very fun.

The hotfix tonight upped the plant durability quite a lot, so it takes longer for them to die without being watered.
