Automated Farming Module Mod for Space Engineers

NOTE: For a more immersive experience with farming Planting Automation

This mod adds a new production block called the "Automated Farming Module" which allows you to automatically produce food items from seeds without needing to plant them manually in farm plots.

This mod adds 3 new production blocks which allow you to automatically produce food items from seeds without the need of manual planting in farm plots.

The First stage new block type is AutomatedFarmingModule - utilizes the farm plot model
The Second stage new block type is AutomatedFarmingModule Alpha - utilizes the food processor model
The Third stage new block type is AutomatedFarmingModule Beta - utilizes the irrigation system model, used this since this block is no longer required when using this mod.

UPDATED 9/23/25 - BALANCE UPDATE & EXPANSION
Balancing of the cost to build the automated farm blocks has been adjusted, rather than make the farm plot more expensive to build I have done the following to add balance to this automation:

Our automated farm plot block has NOT had building cost adjusted, rather I made the assembly speed of this block cut by 50%. So it will actually take twice as long to plant using our automated block than the farm plot block.

I also added 2 more versions of the automated planting block to create a progression line of building, these blocks require more advanced components to construct and also their operational requirements have changed.

Automated Alpha block produces just as fast as the vanilla farm plot block, but the operational power consumption is half that of the auto farm block.

The Automated Beta block produces at twice the speed as a farm plot but requires 3 times the operation power, this is also very expensive to build, requiring gravity components in the construction process.

NOTE: I chose not to get rid of the automated farm plot block as to avoid players using this mod from losing their built automated farms. I dont plan to remove this block at all, later updates will hopefully expand the animation stages for this block. PLEASE report any lose of blocks when updating this mod as it is not supposed to remove any blocks already built

Features:
- New large block based on the Farm Plot design
- Four new crafting recipes for automated food production
- Uses ice as a water source for growing food
- Higher production yield than manual farming (3 items per seed)

Recipes:
1. Fruit Seeds + 480 Ice = 3 Fruit (60 minutes production time using auto farm plot block)
2. Vegetable Seeds + 700 Ice = 3 Vegetables (90 minutes production time using auto farm plot block)
3. Grain Seeds + 144 Ice = 3 Grain (20 minutes production time using auto farm plot block)
4. Mushroom Spores + 300 Ice = 3 Mushrooms (40 minutes production time using auto farm plot block)

Recipe 1 - Alpha Production block (30 minutes)
Recipe 2 - Alpha Production block (45 minutes)
Recipe 3 - Alpha Production block (10 minutes)
Recipe 4 - Alpha Production block (20 minutes)

Recipe 1 - Beta Production block (15 minutes)
Recipe 2 - Beta Production block (22.5 minutes)
Recipe 3 - Beta Production block (5 minutes)
Recipe 4 - Beta Production block (10 minutes)

How to use:
1. Place the Automated Farming Module on your station or ship
2. Supply it with seeds and ice through inventory or conveyor system
3. Select the recipe you want to produce
4. The block will automatically produce food items without manual intervention

Note: This mod requires the Apex Survival Kit DLC to function properly as it uses assets from that DLC.
