The orchard is an alternative to farms, but with a lot fewer options. The primary use of orchards is log production where there is no forests. Apart from that, orchards are mostly unused since farms can produce everything the orchard can.
Environment or Irrigation
Each item produced by orchards have the option of using resources from the environment or artificial resources. Resources from the environment typically result in slower output, and sometimes lower quality. Water for irrigation may be used on colonies where natural resources are scarce or non-present.
