# FAQ

**My crop is not growing. Why?**
Right-click it (shift) for a diagnostic readout showing the blocked reason — usually a closed progression
gate, the wrong grow-bed tier, low light, a hostile environment needing a
[greenhouse](Greenhouse-Construction.md), or a powered bed out of NF/nutrient. See
[Growth Conditions](Growth-Conditions.md).

**Do I need a greenhouse?**
Only when the world is hostile (Nether, End, terraformable regions) or the crop's tier is at/above the
configured controlled-environment threshold. Earth-tier crops grow in the open on a safe world.

**How do I get alien seeds?**
Discover them at the [Seed Research Bench](Seed-Research.md). Natural alien strains are found/discovered, not
synthesized; researched derived strains can be fabricated. See [Alien Crops](Alien-Crops.md).

**How do genetics spread?**
Genetics travel with seeds and crops. Adjacent mature crops with a breeding match can
[pollinate](Pollination.md) and drop a child seed; the [Genetics Station](Genetics.md) splices and upgrades
traits. All traits are capped (0–5 each, total 15).

**Is biofuel better than a real generator?**
No — it is a renewable baseload kept **below** an equivalent primary generator's ceiling by config, so it
supplements power without replacing dedicated generation. See
[Biofuel](Biofuel-and-Essence-Blocks.md).

**Does terraforming change my world blocks?**
No. It only makes a bounded region habitable in Agriculture's environment model, and rolls back cleanly —
it never edits blocks or a planetary atmosphere. See [Terraforming](Terraforming.md).

**Does this mod need Nerospace or any other mod?**
No. It hard-depends only on Neroland Core. Every other integration is optional and dormant when absent. See
[Compatibility](Compatibility.md).

**What player data does it store?**
Only opt-out machine-owner UUIDs and Core-tracked milestones — no names, no telemetry. See
[Privacy and Erasure](Privacy-and-Erasure.md).
