Hydroponics trays are completely functional when unbolted, and even when stacked, leading to the current meta of just unwrenching all the trays and stacking them near the vendors and using alt-click to plant/harvest/etc them

What if we made trays dense only when unanchored

This means you could also push them around as you please, but you would not be able to stack them.

You could still deconstruct them and build machine frames on top of one another, then rebuild. I guess rather than trying to prevent stacked things I think it would be best to incentivize NOT stacking things, somehow.

Kurfursten commented 6 years ago

It would be substantially harder though and effort matters. Take for example that you technically can refill a tray's water, fertilizer, and kill the weeds by deconstructing/reconstruction.

You could have it check for the presence of another machine on its tile when determining how much light it gets. Trays stacked on trays wouldn't be good for lighting.
