still the same, fertilizers are there mostly to reduce the seeds needed (default is 3), or increase their yield; iirc there was an update that reduced the chances of getting seeds per harvest so fertilizers are pretty much needed now.
Although i have no idea if yield also increases the amount of seeds you get per harvest.

If you need a reliable amount of fertilizer its either you build on a strange sea of elder fluid/organic soup or make an organic soup tank. Water pump -> poison reservoir -> organic soup reservoir through pumps n spout and liquid interactions (water + poison = more poison; poison + organic soup = more organic soup)

I have been waiting something to grow but i haven't got anything. I planted some wheat seeds 100 water and cow poop for fertilizer and nothing has been produced any tips ?

nvm the second i wrote this down i got wheat...

Having this problem too but they're not even taking the seeds, have cotton, mutavisk, dunestalk,and even coffee, but they're just sitting there. Using Oragnic Soup as fertilizer. (Nvm, re-read the above and think I got it now...)

Does nobody read? The station makes it very clear right in its description that it requires *three seeds* to function. Fertilizers are required to increase growth speed or reduce seed cost per growth phase.

Better fertilizers will produce better effects.

Once you place a tray, you can also use the Scan tool to get detailed info on its current stats.


Plant growth times are based on the seed. Trays are not faster than normal farming unless you have fertilizers that increase growth speed. Powered Hydro trays are a bit faster, but will be the same speed as a Growing Tray without power.

Yeah but it didn't take this long before that's why people are confused.

I posted the details quite clearly in the update notes when the changes went live.

Harvest time is entirely based on the plant seeds used as the base time (for instance, a plant might have 400-800 seconds per stage, randomly pulled.Another might have 1200-3000 seconds.These are the same times as used in soil), modified by the fertilizers and liquid you use.

It's me or tray consume seed ?

It takes 3 seeds to plant it. It rarely doesn't get the 3 seeds back. Try to use hyrdo tray its much more efficent and not really expensive.( If you need power build some water pumps and some steam engines (dunno whats its called it burns water)

They do consume seeds. Thats why you get better fertilizers.
