Algae Farm

Keywords: algaefarm, algae farm (single); algaefarms, algae farms (group).

Supports standard and Half Algae Farms, with functional/terminal controls and these read-only values:

Property words Type Meaning
output, volume, rate, speed Numeric Items per minute reported by the game
countdown Numeric Seconds until the next production batch; -1 when the game cannot supply a finite estimate

The numeric default is output. These values are not inventory stock or guaranteed delivered items. Use the existing inventory selector to count/transfer algae:

print "Algae Farm" algaefarm output
print "Algae Farm" inventory amount "algae"

Assignments to read-only properties have no effect.

A countdown of -1 means no finite estimate is available, for example when production is blocked. Check output separately; the countdown is not a guaranteed delivery time.
