Hydroponics allows plants to grow without soil by using nutrients dissolved in a water bath. In-game, it requires research to unlock and the construction of one or more Hydroponics basins. These basins will override any growing zone they are placed on top of. | Hydroponics allows plants to grow without soil by using nutrients dissolved in a water bath.
