Below you will find an overview of the 3 commonly created products through farming:
- Living Glass
- Circuit Boards
- Liquid Explosives.
Notes:
These setups use an absolute minimum for building, to generate maximum profit on a single product.
- A Bio-Dome placed on top of the main default base with Ladder access for 16 slots.
- Additional Bio-Domes are all freely placed, with just a single door entrance (13 slots).
- Correct weather type on a planet or moon is utilised, for planting the most used crop outside.
- Calculations are based on full recipes, so some points/slots may be left over.
- Requires harvest rounds every shortest ‘crop growth time’.
Living Glass
Weather: Radioactive
Time to make Living Glass: 30 mins.
Harvest round every: 15 mins.
