Fish Pond Hydroponic System – Hydroponics and Aquaculture

Added fish pond upgrade function, allowing you to grow crops in a hydroponic system, bringing double benefits to fish and crops!

Fish pond hydroponic system

💧 **Hydroponic Farming** - A farming system that combines hydroponics (growing plants in water) with aquaculture (raising fish). Nutrient-rich wastewater from aquaculture is fed to hydroponic crops, which in turn filter out toxic waste, allowing the water to be recycled for continued use by aquatic animals.

🌟 Module Features

Have you ever been worried that fish ponds occupy a large area and are not as profitable as growing crops? This mod gives the perfect answer: "Why not have both?" It allows you to grow crops in fish ponds, bringing double benefits to fish and crops!

🪴Planting method

**Upgrade fish pond:**

• First, spend 15,000 gold, 200 wood, 10 iron ingots and 1 iridium ingot from Robin to upgrade the fish pond.
• After upgrading, hold 10 crop seeds or shrub seedlings of the same type and interact with the upgraded fish pond.

**Planting Details:**

• Only one crop can be planted at a time and must be planted at the same time
• Mixed seeds are not allowed, but wild foraged seeds are allowed
• The fish pond always displays 8 seeds in the visual effect. This is just a visual effect.
• Crops follow seasonal planting rules, except for ginger islands or indoor building locations
• Ancient fruits cannot be grown in hydroponics tanks

**Harvest and Cleanup:**

• When the crops mature, you can harvest them by interacting with the fish pond
• Multi-season crops will continue to grow
• Right-click to open the fish pond menu and click the button above the "Clear Fish Pond" button to clear crops

🌱 Advantages of hydroponics

**Crop Yield:**

• Crops are always watered automatically
• Obtain the quality improvement and growth speed equivalent to the superposition of luxury fertilizer and super-fast growth agent
• The disadvantage is that the Crop Fairy will ignore hydroponic crops and cannot grow into giant crops.

**Shrub Profit:**

• Shrubs grow 25% faster
• Average output increased by 50%

**Fish Profit:**

• New fish are generated 25% faster
• 50% chance to double the number of output stacks
• These effects only take effect when there are crops growing in the slot
