A garden has six grow spots. Each spot:

  • Initially requires 10 compost and 4 water to prepare
  • After a seed is planted, will use 1 water every 23 seconds (roughly)
  • Requires 1 MW while plant is growing
  • Produces 15 food and 1-2 seeds after about 425 seconds, using 22 water total
  • Requires 5 compost and 3 water to re-prepare

Total garden power usage is 1 MW (baseload) + 1 MW per plant.

History

  • Alpha 3: Introduced with 50% of compost per harvest lost.
  • Alpha 4: Balanced to use half as much water and only loses 25% of compost per harvest.
