There are four main types of infrastructure: Lifeforce Collector (harvests your plants and lets you craft), Disperser (uses Condensed Lifeforce to grow advanced plants), Storage Tank (holds more Condensed Lifeforce for later use) and Pylon (used to connect pieces of your infrastructure). Oshabi will give you some infrastructure freely, but you can craft more later on.
Dispersers use Condensed Lifeforce to grow advanced plants(Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 seeds).
Higher tiers of seeds require Condensed Lifeforce in order to grow. For example, Wild Homunculus Grain is a tier 2 seed. It consumes 11 Vivid Units of Condensed Lifeforce per Growth Cycle.
You’ll need to install a Disperser in order to spread the Condensed Lifeforce that you’ve stored. A Disperser must be connected to a Collector or Storage Tank to work by using Pylon.
The first Disperser you get from Oshabi for quests with her. After that, you’ll need to craft it for 30 lifeforces. This option is available after you harvest the seeds.
Right-click a Disperser then left-click a location within the Sacred Grove to place it.
You can also get Disperser back to your inventory: Control-Click to return this Disperser to your inventory. This will disconnect any attached Pylon conduits.
Dispersers can also be automated, and will feed Condensed Lifeforce to seeds as needed, though you may choose to handle this manually when resources are running low.
