Hydroponics basin
A hydroponics basin provides highly fertile soil for growing food quickly. With the use of sun lamps, it can also be used for growing crops indoors.
Hydroponics basins provide much more fertile environment for plants, and as such, crops planted in them grow much more quickly than in soil. They are also one of the two ways to grow crops in mountain colonies, the other being fertilizer pumps. The disadvantage of hydroponics is their need of power to operate, without which the crops planted in the basin die. The other disadvantage is the limited selection of crops that can be grown hydroponically.
Currently, only potatoes and Strawberries can be grown in hydroponics basins. To build the basins, you first need to research them at a research bench.
