Irrigation Plant is a building found in Endzone.
Description[]
The Irrigation Plant increases the soil moisture within its area of influence over time. This process costs a certain amount of Water which can be tweaked in the building's menu. Water provenance can also be changed in this menu.
| Irrigation | Soil moisture (minimum) | Plant growth speed* (minimum) | Water /season (normal) | Water /season (drought) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | Dry | 50% | 100 | 133 |
| Medium | Moist | 100% | 200 | 266 |
| High | Wet | 150% | 300 | 399 |
* Growth speeds verified for orchards only, assumed to be consistent for all plants.
Survival Tips[]
When supplied with clean water from Carbon Activated Water Towers or Wells the Irrigation Plant dilutes and washes away soil contamination over time, just like clear rain does.
It is recommended to place Orchards and Cultivated Fields within its area of influence to make sure they are both watered and exempt of radiation. It can also be used in Forests to grow Herbs and Wild Plants, in Pastures and in the Settlement to wash out radiation faster and in a more efficient and durable way than with the Remove Radiation tool.
