geedeejam Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 hello, i have a question about big greenhouses (ex. 10x10x10) if i make a 10x10x10 greenhouse am i able to create sort of layers with soil? so i would have 3 stories of soil or is it only possible for one layer in a greenhouse to thrive? we are nearing spring on a server i play and we are almost out of food
Solution Broccoli Clock Posted March 2 Solution Report Posted March 2 Hello and welcome to the forum.. I believe the answer is yes, as the dirt blocks just need to be in a location that has allows light in through the roof, but don't actually need light to directly hit them. So long as your greenhouse is one (ie: it shows the +5'c buff) then you should be able to layer stuff up. The problem you may run into though is that water blocks only calculate horizontally, so if you make a water layer then dirt on the next block up, that water won't count as a source for those blocks, the water source needs to be horizontally adjacent.
geedeejam Posted March 2 Author Report Posted March 2 thank you! i will probably make the water system something like a wall so it flows from the top to the bottom

I know this trick worked a while back, but have never felt the need to overload my greenhouse. I presume this is still the way it works in the current stable version (1.21.6) and I'm guessing it'll still work in 1.22 once it leaves experimental.
geedeejam Posted March 20 Author Report Posted March 20 it works,the bottom layer does get less sunlight but it still works!
Tam Hawkins Posted March 20 Report Posted March 20 I am not sure if it could affect your Greenhouse but just a little bit of extra info: Sunlight has a streght of 22 and plants need a ligth strenght of 19 to grow with 100% speed. Every level below that they lose 10% speed, so at lightlevel 18 they will grow at 90% speed, at 17 they grow at 80% speed and so on until light level 9 were they stop growing alltogether. If you see differences in growth speed, especially the top level growing faster than the lower levels you might solve this by turning walls of the lower level into glass or rearanging the soil layout to allow more light at the lower levels.
