I think that another option could be adding a interior furnishing piece that can be placed in houses or apartments. These furniture pieces can have the same restrictions that the crafting benches have in the houses, or even no restriction. I personally would love to decorate a room as a hydroponic garden. (Give us more interior plants please ❤️) This system would work in our current framework and with the coming 4.2 housing additions I think most people will get access to either a house but more likely apartment. If they do make this suggestion we will probably need an increase on our soil availability. I am still in a soil deficit with all my poetics go to G3 soil.
