Introduction[]
The Kelp Farm is made to raise the oxygen of the body it is on. Just like the cyanobacteria in the CyanoVats, this kelp will reduce CO2 to O2 in such a rate the pressure will drop a little. Biomass wil grow quite much because these kelp plants grow about 60cm per 24 hours. Levels beyond V are only reached through events.
"Though not as visible as land-based rainforest, most of Earth's oxygen is actually produced by great kelp forests in the ocean. By replicating this process in a lab, we can produce enormous quantities of oxygen even before this planet can support a native kelp population." - Ingame Description
Level Charts[]
Beginner Mode differs in time needed compared to Normal Mode. The Culture modifiers accounts for the total Biomass, Population, Credits, Research Time and/or Construction Time gained/lost for the buildings/research.
