Vertical Farming

It has always bothered me that a space age civilization requires dedicated agricultural worlds in order to expand. With the progress we are making with vertical farming and with the amount of energy available to any Type 2 or Type 3 civilizations, feeding a population in the billions without relying on imports is a simple matter.

In addition, while you will need to introduce additional water to a world, it is a recyclable enough resource that it should not require the resources of an entire world. So a cost to bring water into the planet and/or convert its moisture, and a cost for constant filtering.

But neither should the costs of vertical farming and water generation be outrageously expensive for a Type 3 civilization. The productivity of a planet with tens of billions of inhabitants should be able to easily offset the cost of vertical farming and water recyling.

Thus, this mod. I'm taking the existing water and food sources you can construct and making them into what I believe is a more reasonable size and cost.

This mod creates four new text files. It is compatible with any mods so long as they do not edit hooks and attributes utilized by the megafarm and hydrogenerator buildings in vanilla.

Updated to include a cash-only version that costs double to build with zero labor, and equal maintenance costs.
