1.3.3080 Linux SendOwl version Core + Ideology, no mods, no Royalty.
Tinctoria has:

  • Growing time 2 days
  • Lifespan 6 days
  • Light requirement 30%
Planted a field of Tinctoria to 100% fertility ground, 20 °C, 50% lit by a regular lamp.
It rotted at 50% growth. 30% light requirement is very misleading. Its growth rate was 29%.
Low light requirement seems ok to me, since it produces 0 value crop with mostly cosmetic benefits. I suggest bumping its lifespan to at least 15 days.
Or maybe give dye some market value. Traders sell colored cloth, so it's not the planet of the colour-blind.

I see that 30% is the minimum requirement for it to start growing, but it really wants 100% light. I assume the growth rate is (50-30)/(100-30)=0.2857.

Thanks for the bug report.  I'll put it in for dev review, see if they want to change the text, or the time it takes for it to rot.
