Adds an upgrade for Hydroponics Farms called Aquaponics Farms, which convert one farmer job into an Angler job. The technology to construct this building is available to all non-gestalt empires. Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture (raising aquatic animals for food) where the nutrient-rich waste water is used to feed hydroponically-grown crops that filter it, and then re-used. The new Angler job already represents aquaculture, so it felt appropriate to upgrade the Hydroponics Farsm building to provide one of each job instead of farming only.


Adds the new technology Aquaponics which creates an upgrade for Hydroponics Farms called Aquaponics Farms. Aquaponics Farms respect existing features of Hydroponics Farms: Void Dwellers gain an extra farmer job, Angler empires gain an extra Angler job on wet worlds, and farmer jobs convert to Acolytes of the Plow for Spiritualist fallen/awakened empires.


Requires the Aquatics DLC.

Overwrites the built-in Hydroponics Farms building (building_hydroponics_farm) in order for it to be upgradeable to Aquaponics Farms. Also overwrites the built-in Angler job ([/b]angler[/b]) so that any empire can work Angler jobs.


Overriding a building or job causes the game to log errors noting the overrides. Expect to see two lines in the error.log file like these:
