Question Level 4 GAI Hydroponics

Ok, I went all in on my Sanctuary and converted most of my agricultural plots to GAI Hydroponics when I got the prerequisites. Then I got the level 4 upgrades available and... holy crap, all those little robots! Also, I built a greenhouse around my GAI plots and that kind of got blown out by the level 4s having it be kind of redundant.

I'm not too worried about the greenhouse so much but all those little robots might be hurting my FPS in the settlement. I've got 6 of those plots I think. Any chance of an alternate version where maybe one robot per row slides on a rail or maybe a test version without it to see if it matters that much for FPS?

Edit: Also, I packed my plots back to back so the level 4 wasn't an issue for blockage but if you put the back to front will the inside be reachable? I need to take a closer look to see.

Thanks for the level 4 and the GAI plots. It gives me real goals on my main grower settlements :)

Lol, yeah i need to redo that level 4, I originally intended to make it so they would be impacted by multiple performance settings, and on the lowest performance setting the player would have one on top and one on bottom for each side or none at all.

I added the greenhouse specifically to occlude them, originally they were exposed and the lag was horrendous (I can't imagine having 6 of those :P).

Surprisingly you're the first person to ever bring it up, I figured nobody had ever gotten that plot honestly :P

oh as for back to front: I don't intrude (anymore) on the small area that the little plot arrow takes up, so there should be a walking path even if you put them front to back
 
Are these different than the normal hydroponic plots? If not I haven't seen any level 4 yet on Xbox.

Both the hydroponics research and GAI hydroponics plot have a level 4 (unlocked in the normal way for level 4 agricultural plots). The one being referred to in this post is for the GAI hydroponics plot
 
I think they should be one per plot and have it move from left to right, down, right to left, down, left to right, etc. and then go back to the top after the last row. This should be accompanied by a dot matrix sound effect haha.
