sh0wtym3 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Quick question, but I couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere else for this specific scenario... I'm planning to build an indoor farm on a multi-level building (on the second floor), which means there will be a roof above the farm (aka the third floor). I plan on using windows for the walls though to let plenty of sunlight in. Has anyone tried this or know if it will work? So far everything I'm reading for indoor farms involves putting windows on the ceiling - but in my scenario - the ceiling will consist entirely of solid blocks.

Thelek Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 i saw a vid on youtube that implied that the only thing that will grow indoors is mushrooms. everything else requires direct sunlight, and glass blocks don't count. it seems that for purposes of energy and agriculture, glass counts as solid blocks. i found this vid after wondering why my own indoor crops were not growing. your best bet is a rooftop garden.

SylenThunder Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Have to have sunlight coming in. You can leave a one block opening/window in the roof, and that will illuminate a small plot. I forget if it's 3x3 or 5x5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nootcaase Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Make the roof out of iron bars or wood windows and then yes you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rez090 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Do glass panes count as a solid block? I swear in the wiki it says you can use glass something as a roof and crops should still grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterstj Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I've heard different things but it's hard to tell what format it's from PC or console... I've never tried underground, I always do platform stuff so I'm off the ground... For trees and farms... I hate doing crops, chopping trees and replanting and worrying about sneaky sneakers...

Nootcaase Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Do glass panes count as a solid block? I swear in the wiki it says you can use glass something as a roof and crops should still grow. As far as I know, only iron bars and wood windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manitobajay Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I can confirm on patch 1.18. That I have made a bed rock farm. I believe it was about a 5x5 area ( didn't really count). I used a glass block at the top to close the hole. Everything is growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
