Hydroponics Feedback

[enforcer9]

What if hydroponics worked on a network of water pipes running from some maintenance sector (possibly above the warehouse?) to a bunch of nodes that tanks can be hooked up to directly for autowatering? The watering can can remain if the system breaks down, or if you want to grow pot on the go.

Obviously, it should be possible to poison the water supply with arbitrary chemicals.

I was thinking that water/gas pipes (like the ones in toxins) should be buildable with metal, along with connectors. connectors would be able to hook up to the water tank, and pipes could be wrenched onto the pots. That way, the botanists, could have the electricians be plumbers too while they hack their weed dispenser.
