hydroponics? #36

Maybe we can add some kind of craftable/portable farming station that uses electrical and farming so that you can essentially farm indoors? I'm not sure how easy this would be, but I think the idea would be interesting

Having through about this it might be a way to decrease the speed at which plants grow at the expense of water and electricity.

Thinking of a placeable device with the following recipe:

Hydroponics Planter Req: Farming 5 Req: Electrical 5 1 x Bucket 2 x Metal Bar 1 x Sheet 1 x Tarp 3 x Lightbulb (Am tempted to suggest 2 x Red and 1 x Blue but the latter might be an absolute pain to find) 2 x Copper Wire 5 x Electrical Components 1 x NPK Fertiliser

(If a sound needs to be applied to it the soft hum of a forced air fan and trickle of water from a small pump would do the trick, though I might be over thinking that)

The Device would look like a bucket with a sheet over it when places, and it would be lit up internally when powered.

Provided it was supplied with power and had water it would act as a furrow for planting and trigger the growth step in 60-75% of the time of normal planting (could be a fixed or random figure between those kind of values).

Yes, let's not specify light bulb colors as this could end up being more irritating than engaging.

Fair enough, just my picky ass trying to get the best distribution of light for maximum growth. :-)

Does it seem like a feasible thing to make a furrow work like that? Feels like asking a lot...

A furrow act like a hydroponics tray or place a furrow inside?

Having the Hydroponics Planter work like a furrow, but when there is no power/water the plant quickly withers .

Yes, this will be how it's implemented
