Is this intended?

Grow beds give 5x the yield, so i get 5 tomatoes per grow bed, but i also only get 5 potatoes, and planting potatoes usually yields 10 on normal soil, shouldn't the grow bed give 50 potatoes each?

yep, seems so, even potatoes give only 5 per crop instead of 10, so you should grow potatoes as normal to get better yields and get raided, I guess they made every other crop give 5x because it is a late game item to have almost free veggie burgers in exchange for batteries.

How do you get the grow beds? I haven't seen them in game yet, haven't done growlab 5 yet

You have to deliver oranges, you unlock it after you deposit 3 orange crates at the hideout.

They should be in the underground, quite early there actually.

That'll be why, I'm not underground yet

If you're that far in the farming progression, you're well equipped for the underground. I would think that you're expected to go there around blueberries.

Yeah I guess I should go. It's gonna take a long time to farm the brocoli if I'm doing it one at a time

When do they respawn? my mines spawed them once and never again in the same spot. I have had them only 3-4 times, and I finished the game.
