Crafting

Craft a Plant Bed inside the BCU craft tab.

Upgrades

The Plant Bed has three (3) upgrades available.

Without any upgrades, the plant bed allows the player to grow plants dependent on natural sunlight, water, and optionally fertilizer.

Growlight

The Growlight will consume 0.07 Power and enable the plants to grow during the night or in low light areas, such as indoors or next to a wall. Grow lights keep the light level at 100% and offers the quickest growth for plants but uses resources quicker.

Plant Bed Sprinkler

Craft the Plant Bed Sprinklers inside the Water Tank crafting menu.

Once attached (upgraded), the Sprinkler has a water intake connection, which Water Pipes can be attached to. The pipes need to be connected to the outflow of a Water Tank.

The sprinkler systems can be run automatically by enabling the "automation" checkbox within the plant bed sprinkler hud, the sprinklers will automatically turn on once the plant bed water level drops below 40%. This consumes 10% more Power for that plant bed and the Water Tank pump.

Note: The sprinkler hud also shows an indicator for whether the plant bed is currently connected to a pipe network that has water available.
