Starting your shift

First you will want to identify the machines around you that you will be using.

Seed vending machine: Where you will have 5 of every seed.

Seed extractor: Use a freshly grown produce on this machine to clone more seeds. You will want to do this as the vending machine only provides you with 5.

Water tank: Use a bucket on the tank, and then on the tray that needs watering.

Coordinate with the chef if they want anything specific to be grown, otherwise, grow 2 trays of wheat, 1 banana tree, and whatever else you feel like growing. Once you give your chef a bit to work with, you can start growing plants for Chemistry (located in Medbay).

Medicinal Plants

Making plants for the Chem lab is pretty easy once you get the hang of making produce for the kitchen.

Grinder: Located in the kitchen, or chem lab. Put a glass or a beaker in, and grind up the plants. Eject the beaker.

Microwave: Use for tobacco, cannabis, and aloe. 10 seconds each.

Syringe: While holding the syringe, press Z to activate 'Draw' rather than 'Inject' to draw from the glass of ground plants.

To fill a syringe to full, you will need to put 4-5 plants into the grinder. Once full, pass it to the Chem lab and tell them what it is.

Layouts

You start out with the default layout of where trays and vending machines are, however, if you so desire, you can change that. All you need is a Wrench which you can get from an Tool Vending Machine which can be found in the Engineering hallway. Holding the wrench, you just click on each plant tray, and then carry it into its desired position. Make sure to wrench it back down or it might fly away later. You do the same for vending machines and water tanks, etc.
