Different plants have different pros and cons. Some plants, like tomatoes, take a long time to grow initially, but they continually produce fruit that can be harvested again and again without replanting. Other plants, like wheat, need extra processing in a [[Reagent Processor|reagent processor]]. The plant we'll be focusing on is the Potato plant. Potato plants grow the quickest of all the plants, but in exchange are not as filling as the other plants. | Different plants have different pros and cons.

Water is the simplest need that the plant has. The requirements are the same as the water bottle filter. We simply need some supply of water connected to our hydroponics via pipes, and we need to make sure that the water is above 0 degrees and below 100 degrees. We can easily hook up our existing water bottle filler pipe network to some hydroponics trays to satisfy this requirement. Note that the hydroponics trays can store a very large amount of water. Therefore, a greenhouse with several hydroponics trays can actually be an effective way of storing water without having a tank. | Water is the simplest need that the plant has.

In general, you need 4 things for atmosphere management. A way to add atmosphere, a way to remove atmosphere, a way to heat atmosphere, and a way to cool atmosphere. | In general, you need 4 things for atmosphere management.

Wire everything up, and then we'll use some logic to automate it. The intake and filtration are automated by the pressure regulators so that just leaves us with the heating and cooling. Use a gas sensor in the room to measure temp, a logic reader to read the gas sensor, two logic comparators to compare the gas sensor to your min and max desired temp, two memory chips to hold your min and max desired temps, and then two batch writers to write to your heaters and cooler for when they need to turn on. Basically, use the comparators to check if the temp is below something like 300 Kelvin, and if so, turn the heaters on. If it's above something like 305 K, turn the coolers on. | Wire everything up, and then we'll use some logic to automate it.

The last need we need to take care of is lighting. Plants differ in their lighting requirements, but in general, they need to be lit for at least half the day, and they need to be in darkness for at least a fourth of the day. The Moon, and to a lesser extent, Mars receive plenty of sunlight during the day, so most plants can simply be planted underneath a window in order to satisfy their light requirements. However, other worlds like Europa or Mimas lack sufficient sunlight to grow plants through a window alone. Additionally, plants may not grow as well under sunlight on planets like Mars as they would with a dedicated lighting system. In these situations, setting up a grow light can help our plants thrive. You can reference the [[Grow light automation|grow light automation]] guide for an example of how to automate your grow lights. The basic principle is to use a daylight sensor to mimic the rise and set of the sun with your [[Kit (Grow Light)|growlight]]. | The last need we need to take care of is lighting.
