Placed on soil, a growing area designates an area where colonists with the Growing skill will plant potato seeds.
The growing area has a space of 4x6 allowing it to hold 24 potato plants at a time. Using growing areas can increase a colonies chance for survival by creating a consistent and renewable food source.
Growing areas cannot be created inside buildings or mines, as it needs an open area exposed to direct sunlight in order for the plants to grow.
Target practice
Drafted colonists can target and attack the growing area, which makes it useful for training the colonists shooting ability. However, it is strongly advised to select the growing area and forbid growing on it to minimize the risk of colonists being killed in the crossfire while trying to plant potatoes.
