The Exterior Growbed is an Appliance that can be constructed with the Habitat Builder. Its main purpose is to allow the player to plant underwater and terrestrial flora outside of their bases, with the express purpose of farming them.
The Exterior Growbed allows the player to utilize the farmed materials for manufacturing, fueling the Bioreactor or for decorating their base. The Exterior Growbed has 24 slots - which will be divided in six large slots, each containing four smaller slots total, in the future, to enable the player to better organize their farms.
Exterior Growbeds can be found on the Floating Island, and must be scanned in order to obtain it. One is found beside a Degasi Seabase, housing a Chinese Potato Plant, Small Marblemelon, and a Marblemelon Plant. A second can be found inside an Observatory inside a different Degasi Seabase, housing a Lantern Tree, Fern Palm, Grub Basket, Voxel Shrub, and Jaffa Cup. Six can be found away from the Degasi Seabases, housing multiple flora.
