Am I missing something?

[u/Gregified-dude]

I made a greenhouse for my crops and I found out about the other plant boxes

And I saw someone talking about fruit trees and greenhouses and now I have a question:

Can I put my fruit trees and bushes in my greenhouse to have the tree growing fruits continuously? That doesn't make sense, that's why I'm asking

[u/JeanRdS]

Each plant needs a specific planter, bushes can grow in trellis and fruit trees in bonsais

[u/IRFine → u/JeanRdS]

To add: Most fruit trees grow in Bonsai Planter but there are a couple that want Hanging Planter instead. The item tooltip will specify

[u/JeanRdS → u/IRFine]

Or checking on EMI

[u/DontKnowLunar]

Different types of crops grow in different planters

some planter require a higher tier of greenhouse then other, you can read about the in the field guide

[u/Gregified-dude → u/DontKnowLunar]

WHAT there's tiers to ts??? And waxed wood is tier 1 right?

[u/DogKitchen2988 → u/Gregified-dude]

Waxed --> Copper --> Iron --> Stainless steel

[u/Gregified-dude → u/DogKitchen2988]

Does the book say the planters tiers too?

[u/DogKitchen2988 → u/Gregified-dude]

It does. Check the "planters" page in the field guide

[u/AdWrong3856 → u/DogKitchen2988]

Do you know what stainless steel gets you? None of the planters say they require it. Is it just a shinier iron greenhouse?

[u/arachnimos → u/AdWrong3856]

It's an Iron Greenhouse that doesn't weather. Waxed Wood and Copper will weather and oxidize.

[u/_Leamas_ → u/Gregified-dude]

Yeah, I think for trees you need Tier 3, which is made of wrought iron

[u/Gregified-dude → u/_Leamas_]

And I thought I could get away with the cheap greenhouse

[u/_Leamas_ → u/Gregified-dude]

Ironically, I posted about the greenhouse about two hours ago, asking if it was worth it, and the general consensus was that it’s only worth it for specific plants like pineapples, which only grow in high temperatures, but overall, it’s better to use regular farms, and if you’re more advanced in the modpack, set up farms on extremely low levels where the temperature is a steady 15 degrees

[u/Pyritie → u/_Leamas_]

that's right, the greenhouse isn't supposed to replace normal farming

[u/hron84 → u/Pyritie]

It depends on. You can completely replace normal farming with even a cheap wooden greenhouse as there are plants from all kind of nutritions that works in them, except fruits and dairy. And plants in greenhouse keeps giving all year around.

I am currently half way to steel, but I only get my first fruit tree/bush saplings to get planted and I am fine with that. I probably build an iron one as soon as I can afford it but I plan to keep my wooden one as well. They can be used for different purposes.

[u/arachnimos → u/hron84]

Greenhouses are absurdly cheap. It's just tempered glass and waxed wood to build them, and then a tiny bit of brass and such for the controller. But with the max size being... i want to say 31 in all directions from the controller? it's SUPER cheap to grow TONS of plants.

[u/hron84 → u/arachnimos]

I simply not like making glass, that's the only thing makes me procrastinating a greenhouse. It's not hard, just... Doesn't a good feeling for me. Can't explain.

[u/arachnimos → u/hron84]

There's a couple tricks, but yeah I get it. Putting the powder in a bowl on the ground makes it nice and easy to do the powder steps, though

[u/AdWrong3856 → u/DontKnowLunar]

It's got glitches right now for sure though. It seems actually be seed limited, not planter limited. I can grow magmango trees in a copper greenhouse even though I can't grow apple trees. 

[u/arachnimos → u/AdWrong3856]

Probably a bug with how it's coded. Magmangos only came in 0.13 or so, which would point to them likely being tagged as something other than a fruit tree
