Plants
Seven plants grow in the Hydroponic System. Each seed carries built-in traits that set its harvest, growth and water use.

Hydroreed Filters with a module, 3 nights, 20 mL water per night. Seed value 20 Credits.
6 BloomBerry, 3 nights, 100 mL water per night. Seed value 40 Credits.
A plant starts at 100% health. For every work it gains, it loses health when the Mineral in its water is outside its range: 1% below the range, 0.5% above it.
For every work it also loses health to Heavy Metal, Chemical Contaminant, Microbes, Organic Waste, Acid and Base in the water, by each one's share and the plant's sensitivity.
Health lost per contaminant
- 0.00% to 0.10%
- 0% health per work
- 0.11% to 0.15%
- 0.15% health per work
- 0.16% to 0.20%
- 0.2% health per work
- 0.21% to 0.25%
- 0.3% health per work
- 0.26% to 0.30%
- 0.4% health per work
- 0.31% to 0.40%
- 0.6% health per work
- 0.41% to 0.60%
- 0.8% health per work
- 0.61% to 1.00%
- 1.6% health per work
- 1.01% to 2.00%
- 3.2% health per work
- Over 2.00%
- 6.4% health per work
Contaminant sensitivity multiplies these losses. Fillerweed and Hydroreed are immune.
Health at harvest splits the count into sizes. Nutrifruit is the only plant with a Huge size.
Size by health
- Health 15% or less
- All Small
- 16% to 30%
- 70% Small, rest normal
- 31% to 50%
- 30% Small, rest normal
- 51% to 70%
- All normal
- 71% to 80%
- 80% normal, rest Large
- 81% to 90%
- 30% normal, rest Large
- 91% to 95%
- All Large
- 96% to 99%
- Half Large, half Huge; all Huge with Quality over 100
- 100%
- All Huge
Quality here is the summed Quality of the Hydroponic System's modules.
Count lost at low health

Nutrifruit, Fillerweed and BloomBerry never lose count.
The plant drinks its water use from the container once per night. The machine needs at least that much liquid to work that night.
Mineral also lowers the water's purity. A plant looks ripe from 80% of its required work.
