Best Mealwood Farm Design?
I ONLY NEED THE DESIGN NOT ANY USELESS SUGGESTIONS I SHOULD IMPROVE. THIS IS EARLY GAME NOT CYCLE 800+

-Decor to prevent dups from getting stressed
-Greenhouse Room Layout
-Layer by Layer

1) 16x4 room, preferably with farm tiles, mesh doors over each other for airflow, bottom door left open.
2) The station needed it to get it recognized as a farm room.
3) Don't worry about the room decor initially, not even the trash on the floor. Later you can add hanging plants so that you don't waste space.
4) For morale, focus on creating as many official morale-boosting rooms as you can do easily. They will take care of morale easily past cycle 100.

The above should support up to 8 duplicants (not sure why, since the math does says you need more). But you will likely have fewer dupes for a long time.

Once you get excess clean (and not hot) but germy bathroom-sieve loop and other sources, make a second farm for bristle berries... They give you a morale boost when cooked on the electric grill. The plants dispose of the germs for you in the process, delaying the need for sterilization.

Mealwood can't be improved by micronutrients so you don't need to have them in a greenhouse.
Early game you will likely be stuck at minimum decor anyway so you shouldn't worry abut it.
Just do rows, not too long so that chlorine and ng can drop down, somewhere they won't overheat and where you will have o2 pressure so your farmers can work in o2.

My farmer got stressed and just cried and the mealwood stopped growing.

It's not the farm that's the issue then it's the rest of the base I'm guessing.
Mealwood is super simple, don't let it be too warm or cold and if you got gas issues just build it in a pit like setting so that CO2 will always be on the bottom.

If your farmer got stressed it wasn't from the mealwood. There's nothing you can do to the mealwood farm to stop your farmer from getting stressed.

Just make rows any size, any length. This isn't some super advanced system you asked about it's the starting food item that most people grow till they get a better food process in place. If you wanna add deco to it just through down some statues every few plants.

Only the Farmer is stressed. There were no 'decorative' structures in the farm. IF ONLY THE KLEI FORUM HAS WHAT I NEED.

Well he's not getting all his stress from the farms. There shouldn't really be anything that would be stressing him out there. If anything making the area he sleeps, eats, and ♥♥♥♥♥ a better place would help WAAAY more then just adding a few decos to the farm.

Why are you people dumb?

My farmers has its own bedroom and they're still getting stressed because they're farming mealwood that has -120 decores.

Op has probably not even checked the morale and stress stats on his dupe. There could be any number of things stressing it out. Maybe op leveled him way above the rest. There is no use in us trying to figure it out. Op just need to learn how to learn rather than shout.

My Duplicate has a PLASTIC BED, A GENIUS STATUE AND PAINTING, DOORS AND A MESS TABLE NEAR A BATHROOM THAT HAS A SHOWER AND AN ADVANCED TOILET ROOM. THEY'RE STILL GETTING STRESSED FOR SOME REASON BECAUSE THE MEALWOOD GREW TOO FAST AND THEY'RE STUCK AT FARMING THAN DOING ANY OTHER TASK OR WALKS OVER ANY DECORATION THEY COME ACROSS.

I even installed some massage tables and they're still increasing stress 5% per cycle.

Unless you lock your farmers inside the farm room for the full cycle it ain't the farm that's the issue.

sry the klei forum isnt trading brains as well.....

hedning already provided the perfect answer. mealwood cant be improved. If the farmer is stressing out the problem lies with the overall situation of the base.
