any updates?

actually I don't know nothing about c++ or xml I just wnatd to show you his mods that maybe coud give you and additional inspiration.Plsss don't let this ideia die, I really wanna see this since I started to play Rimworld!

Have you ever seen dubs mods?Maybe you could integrate some of his ideas, like underground water, and other things like gather water for rain, and tribal ways to gather water as well.Good luck, I would love to see this mod finished, and when you start this, if you need someone to test, you can count on me

I'm not sure how a "wooden box" looks any worse for a greenhouse than it does for any other sort of building. *Shrug* But it wasn't actually my intention to blow off your suggestion; I was asking what you're looking for. Your original request simply described mechanics that already exist, but your follow-up suggests that your concern is more aesthetic in nature. What is it, specifically, that you'd like to see in a greenhouse mod?

You didn't blow off, don't worry  , actually, you got the simple point that I was missing, aesthetic, just that( just would come along with that simple mechanics to decrease the light received as penalty, no power needed, but vegetables inside it can resist to lower temperature, nothing too low, just -10cº or something like that).Maybe you don't see why to insert a thing like that, but I really don't like to start the game and rush to hidroponics and stuff, even with energy I try to keep a "real" pace on how they figure out nobody it's coming to rescue them, and etc...an I don't think that somebody that just waked up from 300 years of cryogenic sleep would construct a solar panel just to loght up their lamps I think you've got the ideia behind this ideia that I told you.

As far as water is concerned, there are (or were, anyway) a few mods that add water-related stuff -- Dub's "Hygiene" mod comes to mind as one example -- but I don't know of any that are really comprehensive. And frankly, to add water "right" would be a very complex undertaking, as you'd need to add ways to retrieve (from lakes, rivers and/or rainfall) and store it, add a new pawn "thirst" need, alter plant growth mechanics, etc.

As far as greenhouses are concerned, though, I'm not sure what you're asking for that's not already in the game. Build a large structure, install some sunlamps, and grow stuff inside it, either with a normal growing zone or via hydroponics. Voila. You've got a greenhouse. Plants only get the light you specifically provide them, and can grow even if the outside temperature is extreme.

I use dub's, but I still would like to see the "drink water need" and the reality that this would bring to the game( and difficulty), but I know how hard is C++ and etc...But about de greenhouse, plant your vegetables and put them inside a woodenbox doesn't look natural to me, maybe one day somebody tries to make a mod just to make a real greenhouse.

Hello everybody, I searched the entire forum and did not find any mod on the need for water or a mod with greenhouses. If someone knows one for version b18, please tell me the name or pass the link. If someone is thinking about creating the mod greenhouse, an interesting idea would be that the plants planted in it would receive a penalty in the light received, but would withstand a lower temperature before dying
