Greenhouse

Greenhouses allow you to grow and harvest grass with minimal effort. They are also used in crossbreeding.

When first built, you must seed it with 10 grass and then leave it for a period of time. Up to 100 grass will grow, then no more until it is harvested. Harvested grass remains in the greenhouse until it is taken (effectively infinite grass storage if you don't take).

Grass growth is simple - a greenhouse grows 3 grass per teppyminute until 100 grass has grown since the last time it was harvested. This process is completely linear, which means that it takes 20 teppyseconds to grow 1 grass, and 33 teppyminutes and 20 teppyseconds to grow 100 grass (measured by Maxion).

To build:

Construction costs:

• 12 Sheet Glass
• 500 Dirt
• 6 linen
• 40 water in jugs

Built: in a small construction site

Skill/Tech required: Gardening

Comments

• 'Turn under all plants' effectively kills off whatever is growing - presumably so you can grow something else.

Growing options

At present, two things can be grown in a greenhouse:

• Grass (with gardening)
  • Requires 10 grass to seed.
  • Produces 3 grass/teppy minute.
  • Growth stops when there is 100 unharvested grass in the greenhouse, but resumes when the grass is harvested.

• Flax hybridization (with cross breeding)
  • Requires 2 flax seeds and 1 nut's essence (produced in a Toxin Kitchen)
  • Produces new strains of flax with different characteristics (including seeds/harvest, flax/harvest, water/weeding required).
