Template:Tocright Plants come in varieties that are either cultivated or grow wild. Cultivated plants are planted by colonists in a growing zone or a hydroponics basin, mainly for food. Wild plants grow naturally throughout the map. Some wild plants spread themselves via seeds. Animals mostly graze on wild plants but will happily eat cultivated crops as well. As of version 0.14.1234 (15 July 2016) decorative plants are no longer good animal feed, due to reduced nutrition value.

Light Requirements

Plants need at least 50% light to grow. When a plant lacks light its info window indicates this with the text 'Needs light level: 50%'. At 50% light, plant growth rate starts to rise from 0% to 1%. A plant's growth rate increases by 2% for every 1% increase in light level beyond 50%. At 100% light the plant's growth rate finally reaches 100%. In areas that lack light, usually indoors with a hydroponics basin, a sun lamp provides 100% light. Plants will even grow at a modest 20% rate when lit by a standard lamp which provides 60% light.

Temperature Requirements

For normal growth rate, plants require temperature between 10C/50F and 41C/107F. Plant growth rate drops by 10% for each degree Celsius below 10C or above 41C. The plant's info window will show 'Out of ideal temperature range (growing at xx% of normal speed)'. Plants will not grow when the temperature falls below 0C/32F or rises above 59C/138F. The plant's info window will show 'Out of ideal temperature range (not growing)'. If the temperature drops below -10C/14F, it will either die or lose its leaves, depending on the type of plant. Leafless plants cannot grow, and will take a full day to regrow their leaves after the temperature rises back above -2C/29F.

Restings

All plants rest from hour 19 through hour 4, during that time the plants will not grow no matter the light level.
If you have sunlamp you can let your plant grow 14h not 24h.

Growth Time

Because of the above the amount of days ingame to grow a plant will be 2times larger than wat is displayed on the wiki.
The growth time is the time required to mature while growing, it is expressed in days! So for example if a plant has a growth time of 3 days it has to grow 72 hours.
Because it is in days it can make the confusion of that it after 3 days ingame that the plant whil be mature, WRONG! It while take aproxemetly 6 days ingame to mature.

Etc.

The lifespan is for most plants 3 times larger than the growth time, so you have only the value<Growth Time> ingame days to harvest it.
If the temperature is extreme the plants will die and you will not get any harvest, the speed of the plants dying is depended of how extreme the temperature.
