Food growers are machines that provide a way for edible crops to be grown inside buildings. They are important for making food that can be consumed or used in various crafting recipes.
To use a food grower insert a crop seed into the grower. After the growing cycle is complete you can remove it by picking up the grown plant, leaving the seed behind for the next cycle.
The seeds can be removed from active machines, but doing so will reset any growth-progress. Fully mature crops need to be harvested before the seeds can be removed. Also, the seed has to be removed, before the machine can be dismantled.

Mechanics[]
Food grower
Once a food grower has been constructed a single seed item may be added to it; after enough time the seed will become food that can be extracted, starting the growing process over again.
Once fully grown these plants can be used for food in order to restore health or (in most cases) can be used in advanced crafting recipes. When left-clicking the machine, the inventory overlay will open, showing the food grower slot where the seeds have to be placed. To recover the full grown plant, point at the machine and left-click it.
ATTENTION! : If the seed is removed from the machine, regardless of the the growth progress (if the growth indicated is <100%, as it is impossible to remove the seed if 100% is reached), the growing process will be reset

Food grower displaying information
The food grower lets the player know all the information about it by pointing at it, much like the other machines. This includes the following information about the plant and the machine's energy usage:
- Energy consumption (-15kW/s)
- Seed chance (the chance to get the seed back, for now it is 100%)
- Growth speed rate (0,6)
- Growth (it starts from 30%)
