I’ve got a room full of carbon planters on my freighter and some on a couple of bases. none of them are working anymore although they could be classed as outside at the bases.
Just wondering if anyone has working carbon planters

There appear to be some issues with planters and hydrophonic trays in general. They require power and usually work if the room itself has power.
As a workaround, some found that attaching a ‘Coloured Light’ wired up to power gets a tray to work. Not sure that will work on Standing Planters, but worth a shot?

Thanks, that’ll do as a workaround

I tried getting the Standing Planters to work on my freighter, but no luck. I thought the patch notes for Beyond mentioned them being ‘restored’, so I assumed they had now become available to us all (not just pre-NEXT). I guess them not providing resources anymore on a freighter is a bug.

On the freighter, when I scan the planter the growing time counter starts to count down, but resets to 10min every time I re-check. One of those ones that’ll get sorted a bit down the line.

I found on my pre-BEYOND save (PS4) that many but not all coloured lights on my Command Ship were rendered non functional.
They cannot be connected using wire but simply placing a new light works fine…
So…
Could you place a large planter and put a light on it to make it work, like @DevilinPixy mentions or are they simply not functioning at all?

I did try putting a coloured light on a standing planter in my freighter, but saw no growth. Maybe I was not around long enough to notice, but I don’t think it works on a freighter at least. Have not tried a light on a large tray in my freighter though …
It’s funny how distant LOD shows the standing planters fully grown
We’ll have to do with a ‘distant memory’ for now.

I put down the cube metal box and the door that suppose to attach does not.
It appears that there is no compatibility with different parts.
Oh well.
