Gardening
Template:Stub Gardening is a mechanic in Barotrauma allowing submariners to grow renewable resources from the safety of their submarine. There are four different growable plants that produce specialed fruits which can be crafted into different items, or just thrown about and splattered on the hulls of the sub.
The seeds can be bought either in a city and/or a research outposts, found in submarine wrecks or by deconstructing fruits.
They can be also deconstructed, each yielding 1 carbon.
Method
To start a garden, first place a Small Planter Box inside the submarine. Then, use a Seed on the box in order to plant it.
The bud consumes water over time and as it does so, grows. A Watering Can is used to refill the box with fresh water (The watering Can does not need to be refilled).
When mature, the plants will bear and drop fruits by the planter.
If the water in the planter box runs out, the plant will die. Dead plants can be unrooted by hand, allowing the box to be repotted or removed entirely.
Planter Boxes should be kept away from seawater, it will drain the water.
Fertilizer can be used on planter boxes to speed up the growing process twice as fast.
Seeds can be stored in Seed Bags.
Plants
| Name | Uses | Yield |
|---|---|---|
| Raptor Bane | Yields Raptor Bane which when processed, causes nausea for humans, severely harms raptors and yields Mutated Raptor Bane which can be recycled. |  Raptor Bane 40%
|
| Pomegrenade | Yields Pomegrenade which can be processed into a mild, non-addictive, healing item and yields Mutated Pomegrenade which when dropped by the plant can cause a fire
(If spawned in with command it can be thrown as a weapon, dealing burn and laceration damage in a small area and starting a fire.) |
 Pomegrenade 90%

| Salt Vine | Yields Salt Bulbs which can be processed into Sodium. |  Salt Bulb 60%
|
| Tobacco Vine | Yields Tobacco Buds which can be processed into pipe tobacco, which when smoked in a Captain's Pipe, grants minor Psychosis Resistance |  Tobacco Bud 70%
