A plant pot allows a colonist to grow decorative plants indoors or outdoors, in order to improve beauty. The plants must be resown regularly by growers and the pot cannot be used to grow crops.

Acquisition

Constructing a plant pot requires 20 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 200 for SMVs), and 250 ticks (4.17 secs) of work.

Summary

Once constructed, the plant pot can be sown with the following decorative plants by colonist assigned to Growing: Daylily, Rose

The plant inside has a limited lifespan and needs to be replanted regularly by a grower in order to provide the desired beauty, and can be eaten by animals. However, growers will periodically check the plant's health, and replant in the pot if necessary.

The pot has a fertility of 100%.

Analysis

Plant pots are a cheap and fast way to provide decoration, but take up valuable time for your growers. Non-uranium sculptures of at least normal quality provide more beauty without all that fuss. Therefore, pots are useful before you have access to a high skill artist. Place most of your pots in a centalized location, and don't place too many, so your growers don't have to spend so much time working.

Dirt is even cheaper than plant pots. If your entire colony uses dirt floor, then your colony can't get any more dirty. The flowers provide a large boost to impressiveness, more than the floor penalty. Cleanliness itself impacts a few room stats, most important being medical success. However, dirt on its own only has -1 cleanliness, which will not increase the chance of food poisoning. Alternatively, you can keep most of the room floored; if colonies don't walk over the dirt, there is only a small penalty.

Although daylilies are more beautiful and take less time to sow, unless the plant pot is close to the normal workplace of your growers, roses should be planted because they only need to be tended to every 5 days.

Resource Compression

A niche use for the plant pot is resource compression for caravaning or using transport pods. A constructed plant pot has a base mass of 2kg but can be deconstructed into 10 units of its component material, or 100 for small volume materials. As these 10 units often weigh more than the 2kg of the pot, more material can be carried for the same mass by keeping it in pot form and deconstructing it at the end of travel. For example, 10 effective* units of steel weighing 5 kg can be compressed into 2 kg of plant pot, allowing you to carry 2.5 times the steel you normally would.

(* Resource compression has a drawback in that you will lose 50% of the invested resources - 10 out of the 20 units of material used to construct the plant pot will be lost. However, when the alternative is abandoning the material anyway due to weight restrictions, there is no reason not to do so if time permits.)

Styles

Ideoligions allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.
