+paulsoaresjr While Hydroponics sounds useful, my opinion is that you’ll
get much more use with growing plants inside if you research the fertilizer
pump. The Hydroponic machines require constant electricity, and if you get
a solar flare (the event that disables electricity for a day), it’s almost
assured that any plants in them will die (regardless of how mature the
plant was). They also take up ‘space’ that colonists cannot walk over and
so have to have an open side for colonists to work with them (they’re 4×1
and a colonist needs to be able to reach all 4 locations).

The Fertilizer Pump, on the other hand, will turn the ground in a 5×5 area
into soil, regardless of what was there before (after it’s done, you can
dismantle the pump for resources), so it gives you the ability to grow
plants indoors and in caves, too, and colonists can walk over them just
fine like any other area where you’ve planted things. You can also use it
to clear out floors that you want to turn back into soil just for a
cosmetic look.

No matter which one you use, you still have to keep the planting area lit
(the sunlamp is awesome for this) and the plants need to be at the right
temperature. So overall, to me, the fertilizer pump leads to much more
growing room, uses less resources, and doesn’t suffer from the solar flare
= lost plants issue.

You should research hydroponics so that you can grow crops inside during
winter.

Paul, i would suggest that you make more gun turrets. Incase a Big invasion
happens.

You should research to grow food underground because food is a necessity
while you can survive without mining for a while.

Although I didn’t like the first few episodes, This series is getting more
and more entertaining. Keep up the good work!

I think Stonecutting would come in handy. When you start mining the miners
are going to be hauling lots of stone that could be made into use, but you
need to research it. It’s better than wood I’m for sure.
