Waterweed is a food plant that produces Lettuce. It grows naturally in Tide Pool Biome.

Food

Each harvest produces 12 kg, 4800 kcals Lettuce which is edible raw, or can be further cooked into Mushroom Wrap, Mushroom Quiche or Frost Burgers.

Growth

Waterweed requires temperature range of 22 ↔ 65 °C. Waterweed must be submerged in a single tile of Water, Salt Water or Brine. The lower tile must have less than 35% of a full tile (e.g. less than 350kg for water) , and the upper tile must be in gas or vacuum; otherwise the Waterweed will be "Too Wet" and will not grow.

Wild

A wild Waterweed takes 48 cycles to grow to maturity and produces an averaged 100 kcals per cycle when harvested, meaning you need 10 plants per duplicant.

Domestic

A domestic Waterweed takes 12 cycles to grow to maturity. Producing 400 kcals per cycle when harvested meaning you need 2.5 plants per duplicant.

Waterweed can be planted in Planter Box, Farm Tile or Hydroponic Farm. It needs to be fertilized with 500 g/cycle Bleach Stone and 5 kg/cycle Salt Water irrigation.

Domesticated Waterweed can be sustainably grown by either ranching Squeaky Pufts or using the Bleach Stone Hopper, and utilizing Salt Water Vent's output. Luckily, the weakest possible vent can support up to 240 plants, although water desalination might cut into that, and even one Squeaky Puft can support up to 57 plants.

In Spaced Out!, both Bleach Stone and Salt Water can also be mined from space POIs.

Decor

A Waterweed has a decor value of 10 with 1 tile radius.
