Nothing fancy, I just like options. Adds three extra hydroponics basin sizes at 1x1, 1x2, and 1x3.
UPDATE: Added three extra, at 2x2, 2x3, and 2x4.

Love it. Good job, simple and effective.

Oh, these aren't mere options, mate. These are blessings, indeed.
Thanks!

Newly built colony wasn't having that perfectionist-style shaped rooms as usual and empty tiles at hydroponics-garden sort of irritated me, but then i've remembered, there is a modular-style wide choice of basins, whether they are blessed for sure!

QuoteI just like options

I like them too, how about 2x4 for less management at construction stage as well as at managing crops? I do believe building 2 basins side-by-side nearly to default design.

Done! Added three more.

Oh my, it's time to rebuild hydroponics department, thanks!

notice: 2x2, 2x3 & 2x4 descriptions says it's 1x3.
Required work for 2x4 - "1" obviously misplaced.

Oh, I knew I missed something. Will fix it later, after sleep.

You guys have any new in game layouts using this build? Been playing around with it to find the best layout with this mod..  I wish the light bulb had a greater range..  Great Idea for a mod

I agree, that is a good idea for a mod. I might add it in to my lamps mod if there isn't anything too difficult (like hardcoded usage of only the one sun lamp or something, I don't want to replace the vanilla lamp, just add a new one with higher range.) I'll give it a look after I finish waking up.

[edit to add] And done. It was a little more complicated getting the radius to change than I expected but I got it to work. I put it behind a research topic and just used the same texture as the basic ones. I may update with a new texture at some point soon. If you wanna check it out then click the green link in my signature.

A better sunlamp was my first ever mod. But I find that the vanilla ones still do okay. Infact I can use a lot less of them thanks to this mod allowing for some very efficient positions. Though sunlamps in general are of little use without a mod to allow growth at night. Don't suppose such a mod exists does it? That's all I'm missing.

I haven't found any that change the night time growing thing. But I've found that hydroponics is an absolute necessity in some desert biome maps. I played one the other night that had absolutely no soil anywhere except in patches of 1x2 or 1x1. I hate using fert pumps cause they are so expensive and only do a small area at a time so it's a lot of micro-management just to make a decent sized growing field with them. I ended up digging into a large hill and building a hydroponics lab in there just so I could have enough food. Eventually I grew to the point where I had to use fert pumps and make a large area outside, but would never have made it without the hydroponics lab.

Looks like the zip file is missing from OP.

Let others enjoy your work again!

I have A71.1_MoreHydroponics.zip from "13 ‎october ‎2014 ‎y., ‏‎20:22:35" - here it is.

Its in the orange download link, not attached.

This would be nice to see again in alpha 8  ;)

So i was wondering if you could do it like the modular tables mod, where it links together like walls and such when built next to each other.  That way you only need to have a 1x1 in the game and players can make any shape and size they want.

Something like the Modular Tables (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4320) mod? Figured I'd provide a link to it for those who don't know what you mean.

[edit to add] I'm pretty sure it could be done easily, just have to add the <draggabledimensions>2</draggabledimensions> tag on the def for the 1x1 one.

That would be awesome.  Then it would look really smooth.

Hey everyone. Unfortunately, due to some life things and just lack of interest in games as a whole, I haven't really been able to update this or my other mods. If anyone wants to take them over, feel free to do it, just let me know and I can give you all the stuff I have for them.

Edit - wrong mod soz, ignore me.

Edit - no i was wrong dont ignore me i do have this updated to alpha 8, will upload it when i can. Thought it was a different mod.

with modular hydroponics doesn't that make this mod obsolete.

I dont think so, I like the single unit look that this gives over the modular ones plus its vanilla with sprinkles not an overhaul like modular (which is grape just not my cuppa).

And on that note, A8 below:
