Now with all that out of the way, let’s look at the best hydroponics layout you can possibly have in Rimworld. This means you will need to provide all the other requirements for the plants to grow including temperature and light. It should be noted that the basins only provide soil fertility. The plants in the basins will wither and die very quickly if they become unpowered due to solar flares, breakdowns, or even conduit explosions. These plants are potatoes, rice, strawberries, cotton, hops, smokeleaf, psychoid, and healroot. They grow food at a much faster rate, but they can only be used by a limited number of plants. Hydroponic basins and sun lamps are a great combination because it allows you to use these basins indoors. You will also need sun lamps which can be built after researching electricity. In order to get hydroponic basins in Rimworld, you first need to research Hydroponics at the research bench. The above picture shows the best hydroponics layout in Rimworld. Hydroponics is just the way to do that in Rimworld. However, unless your colony feasts on the endless waves of late-game raiders, you’re going to need to establish a source of food. Besides the bug infestations, it’s a pretty sweet way to make sure your base is nearly impenetrable. When you have access to deep drills and fabrication, you can easily afford the steel and component cost.We all want to be cave dwellers in Rimworld. Due to the reduced space, it takes less travel time, which makes work more efficient and defense easier. In the late game, hydroponics have a few advantages. Therefore, hydroponics are best used when growing space is limited, like inside a mountain or in an ice sheet. However, the lamps would end up taking up more space. If your only goal is to grow crops during the winter, then placing multiple sun lamps without hydroponics is more resource efficient. Even when considering batteries, heaters, and the 80 for sun lamps themselves, making more sun lamps is more efficient than building hydroponics for 1. 4 solar generators are enough to power those lamps, and would only cost 400 Steel, 12 Components. You could instead make and power 2 more sun lamps.This does not count the extra 2400 W of power required for those basins. The 24 hydroponics basins would cost 2400 Steel, 24 Components for a total of 2.8 sun lamp's worth of growth.In fact, it is more cost effective to do so, assuming you have soil available. You can grow crops indoors without hydroponics basins. They may only be grown in greenhouses with roofs open in a grid pattern, and those leak a lot of temperature-controlled air.ĩ6% hydroponics, tightly nested together. Solar flares will cut the power, so prepare a shelf with emergency wood to build campfires to keep the room temperature above -10 ☌ (14 ☏) (below which most plants will rapidly die).Īs they cannot be grown under roofs, trees such as pine, birch, saguaro or cocoa trees may not be grown in completely closed greenhouses. Double-width walls provide more insulation against temperature changes, and potentially save on heater/cooler costs. Even in an "year-round" growing season, unpredictable events such as toxic fallout and volcanic winters can disrupt plant growth. In extremely hot biomes, you might need coolers to grow during in the summer. This allows plants to grow in the winter, when used with a heater. There are 10 empty tiles per sun lamp, half as many as in a simple grid pattern.Ī sun lamp's main purpose is to create growing zones indoors, often called greenhouses. An efficient pattern to fit multiple sun lamps together.
