Description

Automated Hydroponics is used to grow crops.

• It has 3 control buttons:
  • Plant (plant crop seed from Input Chute)
  • Clear / Harvest (delete crop / Harvest crop and place it to Output chute)
  • Power ON / OFF (this also often kill crop because of lack of growlight)
• It has only one growing slot.
• Takes up a 2x2 area.
• It includes a grow light, which can grow crops without sunlight, but requires 100W of power.
• It is airtight.
• Temperature of the input atmosphere must be within the acceptable range for growing crops.

Data Parameters

These are all parameters that can be written with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10).

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
Lock	Boolean	Locks the device for player interaction when set to 1. Unlocks it, when set to 0.
Harvest	Boolean	Harvests the plant, clearing it's content. If a mature plant is inside, sends it to the export
ClearMemory	Boolean	reset ImportCount & ExportCount
Setting	Integer
Plant	Boolean	Starts growing the plant from the import
Open	Boolean	non-functional inherited variable
On	Boolean	Turns the device on, when set >= 1. Turns it off, when set to <1.

Data Outputs

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader or a Slot Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.
