00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Check the actual inputs
Nutrifruit needs 16 work. Load a seed and water; leave room for the output.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:30.000
Controlled failure: remove the battery
The Energy Cell moves into inventory. The seed stays in its input.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:40.000
Next morning: no growth
Paid shop power did not replace the missing machine battery.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Put the charged cell back
We restore the same 100/100 kJ cell, then run the machine overnight.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:05.000
First working night: 9 / 16
The Old Hydroponic System now shows Growing. It is making progress.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:17.000
Battery: 100 → 89 kJ
This setup used 11 kJ in one working night.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:29.000
Second working night: harvest ready
The output contains seven food items: five Nutrifruit and two Small Nutrifruit.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:41.000
Battery: 89 → 78 kJ
Another 11 kJ used. Empty the output and provide a new seed for another crop.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:55.000
Load a spare cell into the Recharger
We bought this basic charger from Dr. Jackson for 172 game credits.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:07.000
Control night: power service off
The cell starts at 78/100 kJ. We leave it inside the Recharger.

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:17.000
Next morning: still 78 / 100
No charge gained with the power service unpaid.

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:29.000
Next test: power service paid
Confirm the payment in the nightly report. Our power service cost 5 credits.

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:41.000
Next morning: 78 → 81 kJ
The basic Recharger added 3 kJ. The working grower has its own separate cell.

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:53.000
Modules change the power budget
Two installed Eco modules: Performance −32%, Efficiency +64% in total.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:03.000
Eco grower: 100 → 97 kJ
Measured consumption: 3 kJ in one working night. Same base demand: 8/day.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:15.000
Lower demand, slower growth: 6 / 16
Compare 3 kJ / 6 work with 11 kJ / 9 work. Read your own installed stats.
