The plant pots are generally inferior to [[sculpture]]s, as growers have to occasionally sow the pots, making it labor intensive especially in large colonies. Plant pots are better earlier in the game, when you won't need as many plant pots and cannot afford to make sculptures. Later, when the base expands and can spare a few artistic pawns, sculptures can take the load off of the growers of the colony. Alternatively, you can place the plant pots in the fields instead and have the farmers sow the plant pot as they are working, providing a nice beauty buff in the middle of the field while not wasting time.

Plant pots are a cheap and fast way to provide decoration, but are generally inferior to [[sculpture]]s for two reasons. First, as growers have to occasionally sow the pots they are labor intensive for valuable skilled pawn-time - especially in large colonies. Second, all non-[[Uranium]] sculptures of Normal [[quality]] or better provide better beauty per material than [[Daylily]] plant pots, while also taking up less space. They can retain a niche in the early game however, when you won't need as many plant pots and either cannot afford to make sculptures or do not yet have a pawn with a high enough skill in [[[[Sklls#Artistic|Artistic]]]] to avoid wasting materials on Poor or Awful quality sculptures. However once better quality sculptures can be acquired, and/or the colony expands, plant pots should be replaced to reduce the workload on growers and improve the beauty of rooms.

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 Stuff 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: Bonsai tree, 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 are generally inferior to sculptures for two reasons. First, as growers have to occasionally sow the pots they are labor intensive for valuable skilled pawn-time - especially in large colonies. Second, all non-Uranium sculptures of Normal quality or better provide better beauty per material than Daylily plant pots, while also taking up less space. They can retain a niche in the early game however, when you won't need as many plant pots and either cannot afford to make sculptures or do not yet have a pawn with a high enough skill in [[Artistic]] to avoid wasting materials on Poor or Awful quality sculptures. However once better quality sculptures can be acquired, and/or the colony expands, plant pots should be replaced to reduce the workload on growers and improve the beauty of rooms.

    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. A constructed plant pot has a base mass of 2kg but can be deconstructed into 15 units of its component material, or 150 for small volume materials. As these 15 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 15 units of steel weighing 7.5 kg can be compressed into 2 kg of plant pot, allowing you to carry 3.75 times the steel you normally would.

    Resource compression has a drawback in that you will lose 25% of the invested resources - 5 out of the 20 units of material used to construct the plant pot will be lost. However, when the alternative is abandoning almost 75% of the material anyway due to weight restrictions, there is no reason not to do so if time permits.
