Echo Weaver Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 I was reading through release notes for previous versions, and I found a detailed description of nerfs for underground gardening... which indicates that this is something that plenty of players were doing. What makes underground gardening appealing? Is it possible to get a lower temperature underground so that heat-sensitive crops can grow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 It's more for cold climates. Underground gardens at the right world height level can farm nearly all year round in the harshest of climates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume underground temperatures tend to equalize, with a hotter surface leading to cooler temperatures underground and cold surface leading to the reverse? Is underground gardening still effective at 19.x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 I do not know. I haven't done underground gardening. For warm climates farming in the sky with Lucy (pardon the pun) will be more productive as temperatures drop with increased elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wiki offers further information on this subject matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It describes the new limits on underground farming, but it doesn't explain why one would want to do that or how much the original value of underground farming was reduced.

Thorfinn Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 Unless you are in polar, it's more hassle than it's worth. It's trivial to stock a cellar with so much food that in a few game-months, you will be working full time producing barrels to compost all the rot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
