Remember that a malfunctioning plant stops producing! If that happens then it wasnвЂ™t worth the trouble. So you will need a lot more biologists to avoid malfunctioning plants. Firstly the maintenance requirements of each plant are much higher. Meaning you need less bio domes to support your population. The advantage of this combination is that these are all fast producing plants.

There is an alternative that exclusivelyВ uses fast producing foods: tomato + lettuce + peas = Salad. Although the number of basic meals will go up there shouldВ be no problems because it takes at least 15 basic meals in a row for colonists to get sick. If you have a lot of biologists then you can switch to 50% wheat and 50% tomatoes.В This will increase your food output significantly. The great thing about this combination is that it is very flexible. Because you use a lot of вЂњregularвЂќ plants you wonвЂ™t need as many biologists as you might expect. That way your outputs are balanced perfectly and you will have the highest possible chance of generating a Pasta meal. This means you should try to build 8 wheat plantsВ for every 4 tomato plants. TomatoвЂ™s produce 100% faster but require more maintenance. Because pasta only requires 2 ingredients it will be easy for at least one combination to be correct. It will create an advanced meal when a combination can be made. You Meal Maker can only fit 6 ingredients. LetвЂ™s take a more detailed look into why Pasta is so great. GameplayInside recommends you stick to these two plants. The easiest recipes to create is the combination between tomatoвЂ™s (fast producing food) and wheat (regular food, also creates starch needed for bio plastics). Basically there are a few dozen recipes that create an advanced meal.В Therefore you should limit yourself to a few plant types! If you keep too many combinations the chance that a proper combination can be created is very low. TheseВ advanced mealsВ will be automatically created based on the ingredients in your meal maker.В For exampleВ Lettuce + Tomatoes + PeasВ will form a Salad. There are currently 3 types of advanced meals: Pasta, Salads andВ Burgers. This Meal Maker contains a proper meal (Pasta). This will require treatment in the sickbay. When your colonists eat a lot of basic meals (currently 15+) they will get illВ due to lack of food variation. The trick here is that some combination of ingredients will result in proper meals like Pasta. However it getвЂ™s a bit more complicated then that. These machines will convert vegetables and meat into meals. Your canteen should containВ a few meal makers. This bio dome uses tomato and wheat to provide food for about 40 colonists. This tutorial assumes you have read and understood the guide regarding Bio domes. Bio domeДЄll food gets produced in Bio domes. Without it your colonists will not only die, theyВ will alsoВ refuse to work! Simply serving up the same vegetables a day will cause disease so you better make sure you understand the food recipes.
