Elysium Bed & Elysium Bed Atmos: The Farming Bed Guide

“Farming Bed” is an older or common name for Elysium Bed.

Both Elysium Bed variants grow plant seeds, not Human Seeds. The Atmos variant produces oxygen.

Player reports, not yet verified: The wiki reports that the standard bed does not produce oxygen.

Game version evidence: March–April 2026 evidence (Updates 3–3.5); not yet re-verified against Update 5.5.

How to Use the Beds

Connect Fresh Water

Connect a Fresh Water supply to the bed.

Sources: W1, W2, S1

Add Bio Waste to make soil

Drop Bio Waste directly onto the bed to turn it into soil. Seeds cannot grow without enough soil, and a shortage can cause deterioration.

Sources: W1, W2, S1

Allow for a substantial soil fill

A standard Elysium Bed takes roughly 200 Bio Waste to fill; one Steam report describes using more than 200.

Sources: W1, S1

Atmos soil capacity: conflicting reports

Player reports, not yet verified. An exact fill quantity is unresolved:

  • The wiki estimates roughly 50 Bio Waste to fill an Atmos bed. Sources: W2
  • One player reported adding about 200 Bio Waste without filling the Atmos bed; that post had no replies. Sources: R4

Atmos and Oxygen

The Atmos variant produces oxygen. This is corroborated by the wiki and a Steam player report.

Sources: W2, S1

A confirmed oxygen production rate is still unavailable. Connecting an oxygen tank is described under the unverified reports below.

The wiki describes planting by placing a plant seed directly on the soil.

The wiki lists level 19 for the standard bed and level 24 for Atmos, with an unlock cost of 1 skill point each.

The wiki says carrying any plant seed gives access to the standard bed blueprint.

Sources: W1

The Atmos wiki lists standby water use as 50, but the unit is not specified.

Sources: W2

A Steam player describes connecting the oxygen outlet to a tank, while noting that the new bed had not been fully tested.

Sources: S1

One archived player report mentions connecting water and gas; the wiki does not corroborate the gas requirement.

Sources: R1

The wiki describes dismantling and moving a placed bed in a similar way to a storage box.

Sources: W1, W2

Archived player reports describe trouble moving beds with grown trees and suggest choosing a permanent location. The original posts were not opened for verification.

Sources: R1, R3

One archived player estimate suggests at least 25 L of oxygen per 1 L of water, more in daylight, and stalled growth when plants are crowded. The original post was not verified, so this is not an established rate or a planning formula.

Still Unknown

  • Whether either bed needs an electrical connection to operate.
  • A verified oxygen production rate for the Atmos bed.

There is not enough verified information to calculate crop cycles or oxygen output.
