Planter box vs Farm tile

[Prismaa]

What is the difference between these two? Higher seed chance? Faster growth?

One is a floor tile, the other requires you to build a floor tile and then build it on that floor tile

[The Mighty Mulletman]

Not much I'd say. One takes up less space than the other. Plantrrs need a floor and farms are floors.

1. Decor 2. Takes less space 3.You can place them upside down for certain plants

Both has their pros and cons. Planters need to be over a tile space so it cost 1 more square. But it allows your plants to reduce stifling time when a weak gas pass by. Farm tiles act as a sub for a walking tile. But unless you have a few air flow tiles, some gases can fall down and get stuck, stifling that plant/s for a while.

You can also rotate farm tiles, allowing you to grow the pepper plants.

Planter boxes can be set on airflow or mesh tiles, letting gas pass harmlessly below, and allow equalization of pressure without sacrificing a tile to leave a hole punched in the floor like you would with farm tiles.

Why not use the mesh planter box combo for the holes in the ground?

I mean, I already spend 4 slots overall in a greenhouse to make use for the crucials (that being the farming station and two pot plant pots for the needed wheezerwhort), so might as well use that extra space as a gas sink.

Planter boxes build and deconstruct faster than almost anything in the game. So really easy for getting started. Planters also act like buildings in that they don't prevent gas or liquid flow.

Farm tiles normally work better for once you are up and running.

Since farm tiles are tiles they don't count towards the size of the room, so you can have a larger greenhouse by using them.
