Greenhouse

The Greenhouse is a multiblock device controlled by a Climate Station. It allows growing crops year round. The Greenhouse has an array of types and blocks to choose from. However, building a greenhouse is quite simple. Like the Cellar, it should be an enclosed area of blocks belonging to the same Greenhouse Type. The floor of the greenhouse may be non-air block.

The walls of greenhouses must be solid faces. Panel walls should be placed so that the face that is on the exterior of the block (eg. the face you can place a torch on) faces into the greenhouse. The same applies for roofs, except that slabs are always considered valid roof blocks. Trapdoors and doors are also always valid and require no special placement.

Greenhouse Types are families of greenhouse blocks that can be used interchangeably in a greenhouse. Most greenhouse blocks age. For example, Treated Wood greenhouse blocks become Weathered Treated Wood blocks. Since both of those block types belong to the same greenhouse type, your greenhouse will continue to function.

Greenhouse Types

These are the Greenhouse Types available, with the block types they can age into:

Treated Wood: Weathered
Copper: Exposed, Weathered, Oxidized
Iron: Rusted
Stainless Steel (does not age)

There are four types of regular Greenhouse Blocks: Walls, Doors, Roofs, and Roof Tops. Roofs and Roof Tops are stairs and slabs, respectively. There are also thinner versions of these blocks, also known as panel walls, trapdoors, and panel roofs. These can be combined however you choose to form the structure of the greenhouse.

Multiblock

An example greenhouse, in each main type.

There are many blocks that operate inside Greenhouses:

Planters, for growing crops, and

Sprinklers, various devices that add water to planters.

The next four pages contain recipes for the main greenhouse block types. While they are only shown for Iron greenhouses, the iron rods in the recipe can be replaced with Treated Lumber, Copper Rods, or Stainless Steel Rods. For information on Stainless Steel, see this linked page.
