Summary

Bio-Dome is a base building product that provides a greenhouse space where you can plant up to 16 items indoors. This structure cannot be built inside Freighter bases.

The blueprint can only be obtained via the Blueprint Analyser.

Game description

An attractive domed room which is perfect for cultivating a wide range of botanical matter.

Build

Bio-Dome can be built using a blueprint and the following ingredients:

Magnetised Ferrite x25 + Glass x5 → Bio-Dome

Additional information

Although there are 16 available slots for growing plants, if a door is placed on the structure, three available slots will be removed. Therefore it is advised to use a ladder from below to maximize the number of plants that can be grown.
- It should be noted that building a room and ladder under each dome reduces the amount of domes you can have due to base complexity. You can actually have more domes of 13 slots that add up to more plants than what you’d get with the ladder method
A corridor attached to a bio-dome will allow the full 16 slots to grow plants, even though one of them will be placed under the stairs attaching the corridor to the bio-dome.
Bio-Domes are excellent for farming as they do not need any fuel/power to operate. They require zero maintenance.
Bio-Domes should mainly be used for plants that are not compatible with growing outdoors. This will save slots inside your domes for plants that are not outdoors hardy.
