Rice

Rice is ripe after 3,601 s, so after one hour, and gives up to five per harvest. It carries seeds from 4,801 s. Stacks hold up to 50.

Its peculiarity is water. According to the game data it drinks 0.00012 mol per tick, twice as much as the other plants. That is 0.864 mol or just over 15 mL per hour. And it hardly forgives dryness: it takes damage after only 300 s without water, while most other plants last 1,800 s. So a rice tray belongs on a reliable water line, not on a network that occasionally runs dry.

Light, temperature and pressure follow the standard values: 600 s of light, 300 s of darkness, ideal 20 to 30 °C and 50 to 100 kPa.

Raw, one piece gives only 3 nutrition and a slight mood penalty (−0.25). Cooked in the microwave or the automated oven it becomes Cooked Rice with 10 nutrition. The packaging machine turns five rice, 1 steel and 1 oil into a can of rice pudding. How to build the water supply is covered in Hydroponics and planters: setup and automation.
