Step 1 – Build the Base Structure

  • Start with a square building as the foundation.
  • Make sure it has at least two floors (you can add more if you want).

Step 2 – Create the Corridor System

From the first floor, build this sequence:

  1. Two straight corridors (without doors).
2. One corridor block with 4 doors.

Step 3 – Add the Biodomes

On the two side doors of the 4-door block, attach two Biodomes.

Step 4 – Extend the Layout

  • Repeat the same corridor + 4-door block + 2 Biodomes pattern as many times as you want, depending on the size of your farm.
  • This will create a long corridor with multiple biodomes connected on each side.

Step 5 – Build the Upper Floors

  • On the second floor (and any additional floors), repeat the exact same structure.
  • The Biodomes will overlap and clip into each other – and that’s exactly what we want.

Step 6 – The Farming Trick

Once you plant crops inside all Biodomes, you don’t need to harvest them one by one.
Simply use the Biodome terminal:
interacting with it will automatically collect plants from all overlapping domes above and below.
This trick has been in the game for years and has never been patched, which suggests it might even be intentional by the developers.
