"A serene hum fills the aid as vapor swirls around your chest. It feels like you're walking through the lungs of mother nature herself, the room almost breathing with you as the plants sway with the click and hiss of the air conditioning.

Workers in plastic suits crinkle and crackle as they shuffle down the rows, prodding and poking at the plants with the utmost care. The soft glow of the lights lining the ceiling and floor fill the space with a strange sense of peace and calm, as the mist coats everything with a glistening dew."

Welcome to the "Grow House" folks. This grow house battle map idea was seeded by GoatWalrus from the Discord server. I'm certain that you guys are going to have some interesting encounters on this map.

What Is A Grow House?

A grow house is an indoor facility where plants are cultivated under controlled conditions. Typically associated with cannabis, these places use artificial lighting, climate control, and advanced growing techniques like hydroponics to optimize plant growth. They're designed to replicate or enhance outdoor growing conditions, ensuring year-round production.

I designed this battle map to be highly flexible when it comes to location so you can just plug and play. If you're looking for chaining ideas, the following are some that come to mind.

Narrative Chaining

Hydroponic Greenhouse Facility

While the Grow House zooms into the details of crop optimization, the Hydroponic Greenhouse Facility is more of a macro view map. The Grow House could easily be part of this larger complex.

Bio Lab

This was one of my earliest battle maps, created in the first year of Frag Maps. While the style may look different, this location still serves as a great option to narratively connect with the Grow House.

The Arcology Series

The Arcology Series is collection of battle maps created during the 2nd and 3rd years of Frag Maps and focuses in on an enclosed ecosystem that is the Arcology (highly inspired by the film "Dredd").

The Grow House would very comfortably from a sub-location within this enormous complex.

Map Variants

Carnivorous Plants

In a section of this grow house lies a species of plants that were genetically engineered to eliminate pests in urban farms. However, when combined with a cocktail of synthetic nutrients and an energy source these plants experienced uncontrollable growth rates.

And that is exactly what happened here.

Psychedelic Fruit

These fruits are engineered to produce vivid, reality-bending effects when consumed, making them a hot commodity among thrill-seekers and those seeking an escape from the dystopian world outside. The fruits shimmer with an unnatural glow, each variety offering a unique sensory experience, from heightened perceptions to wild hallucinations.

They sure fetch a pretty penny on the black market.

Diseased Crop

A section of valuable crop within this grow house is withering away. What could be the cause of it? Disease or poison? Your call, gamemasters.

Overhead Piping

This map variant is for those of you who crave further immersion. The hydroponic overhead piping is provided on its own layer with transparency (.PNG format), so you can overlay it on top of the base map in your favorite VTT.
