==The Green Thumb Scientist==
== Xenobotany / Xenoflora Guide ==


The Xenobotanists or Xenofloralists who work here are important scientists on the station, especially in longer rounds. [[Botanist]]s grow plants, obviously. But as a Xenobotanist you will be doing so much more then just growing the plants. You're job isn't to make sure the station is fed and alive or to make sure the chef has fresh tomato's. Your job is to identify the genetic structure of seeds and modify it into a perfect life sustaining food source. After you've finished making a tomato plant that can feed the entire station with a single harvest it's your choice if the [[Chef]] or [[Botanist]] is worthy of receiving the fruit of your labors. Or you can spend your round figuring out how to make a plant that consumes monkeys and produces explosions.  
'''Xenobotany''' (xenoflora) is the study and cultivation of exotic, mutated, and alien plants. The xenobotany SeedMaster holds all garden seeds plus exclusive exotic and mutation-focused varieties. The xenobotany SeedMaster scanner shows: stats, produce, soil (nutrient/water), temperature, and light — use it to plan mutations and evolutions.

These are in the '''xenobotany SeedMaster''' only (or cargo Exotic Seeds Crate where noted). Reagents are base values; potency and traits scale effects.


Here is a chart with the types of plants you can harness the power of the gods with.

==Growing The Afforementioned Plants==
== Mutation Mechanics ==
 
[[File:HydroponicsTraysRow.PNG|thumb|These are some pots. You grow stuff in them.]]
 
First, locate the hydroponics trays, sometimes referred to as "planting pots".
this is where you will be planting the seeds. Take a seed in your hand, and click the pot. You will then get a message saying "you plant the seed in the pot.", or something along those lines. You can only plant one seed per pot. If you click the pot with an empty hand, you will get a basic analysis of the plant, and the nutrient and water level of the pot. Here is an example:
 
'''This pot has [plant] planted.'''
 
'''Water: 75/100'''
 
'''Nutrients: 8/10'''
 
This is an easy way to identify the plant, if you are not familiar with what they look like. It is also a good way to check on new species that have found their way into the "farm". If this happens, you will get a red message that says soemthing like "hydroponics tray has been overtaken by [plant]!". This can be good, bad, or a combination of both. Best case: a few Liberty Cap spores lodge themselves in the tray, and you get super duper high. Worst case: generic weeds. These grow very fast and serve no purpose as of now. All they do is take up space. An example of a useful weed (not the smokable kind), is the humble nettle. Nettles are a very useful plant, and a powerful weapon if grown properly. If you play the [[Botanist]] and get picked to be a [[Traitor]], then do not fret. Just wait for some nettles to show up in your garden and kill those targets with FLOWER POWER! nettles are poisonous to begin with, but with skillful harvesting and increases of the Potency level, the nettles can deal a lot of damage, and have a very high knockout chance.
 
[[File:Nettle.PNG|thumb|This is a Nettle. nettles are your friends.]]
 
==Caring for your Vegetable Friends==
Mushrooms: Just feed these fertilizer, don't need to water them.


Weeds: Just water them, they don't need plant food. Nettles are considered weeds.
* '''Mutation level:''' Built by mutagen (Unstable Mutagen ≥15 units, Radium ≥8 units) and mutation_mod from reagents (e.g. Left4Zed, Plant-B-Gone). Each process tick reduces mutation_level by 2–4. When it triggers, the plant mutates and level resets.
* '''Severity 1:''' Random trait mutation (same species, different stats).
* '''Severity 2:''' Species mutation — pick from seed.mutants (e.g. tomato → bluetomato).
* '''Severity 3:''' "Great" mutation — pick from seed.greatMutants (e.g. ambrosia → ambrosia infernum or ambrosia omni). Requires somatoray/flora gun "evolve" shot or equivalent.
* '''Severity 4:''' Evolution — only if seed has evolutions and the plant's chems contain all reagents listed for that evolution. Then species changes to the evolution target (e.g. ambrosia omni + cronexidone → ambrosia panacea).


Everything else: Feed them water AND Fertilizer.
=== Somatoray / Flora gun (if available) ===


The hydroponics tray will warn you of any issues with your plants with colored lights.
* '''Floramut shot:''' 20% chance to mutate (severity 2 or 3 by probability).
* '''Florayield shot:''' 20% chance to add +1 or +2 yield_mod.
* '''Floraevolve shot:''' 20% chance to trigger severity 4 (evolution).


*'''Green Light:''' Ready for harvest
== Mutation Trees ==
*'''Blue Light:''' Low water
*'''Yellow Light:''' Low nutrients
*'''Red Light:''' Low health
*'''Red/Blue Flashing Light:''' Alert: Weeds/Pests/Toxins


To fix the water problem, take your bucket, fill it with water at one of the water tanks inside the farm, and pour the appropriate amount of water onto the plant. If a pot is full of water, you will not be able to add any more and the excess will splash onto the floor.
=== Ambrosia vulgaris ===


To fix the nutrients, replace the solution using the nutrient dispenser, then taking the vial and clicking on the tray. Only do this if the tray needs nutrients.
* '''Mutants:''' Ambrosia Deus, Ambrosia Robusto
One should avoid replacing the solution while there is still plenty left. Excess fertilizer disappears forever, and the dispenser has a finite supply.
* '''Great mutants:''' Ambrosia Infernum, Ambrosia Omni
* '''Ambrosia Omni evolution:''' add Cronexidone → Ambrosia Panacea
* '''Ambrosia Infernum evolution:''' add Aluminum → Ambrosia Diablos


Weeds can be removed by clicking on the tray while holding a mini-hoe in your hand. Keep clicking until you see the message "This plot is completely devoid of weeds. It doesn't need uprooting.".
=== Destroying angel ===


If a plant is dead, a single click will empty it from the tray. If your tray decides to sprout some annoying harebell or unwanted crops, a few sprays with the Plant-Be-Gone will kill it, albeit rather slowly.
* '''Great mutants:''' Grave Filler


Hacking at a plant with a Hatchet will gradually kill it, allowing you to remove the plant from the tray and replant.
=== Metal cap (mutate from Tower cap) ===


[[File:AllHydroWarningIcons.PNG|thumb|A very, very, dead plant. Notice the pretty warning signs.]]
* '''Evolution:''' add Plasma → Plasma cap


[[File:GrowingPlant.PNG|thumb|This plant is still growing.]]
=== Grass line (Maiden / Mother / Crone grass) ===


[[File:HarvestPlant.PNG|thumb|This plant is ready to harvest, as noted by the greem "H".]]
* '''Evolution:''' plant must have Paracetamol, Tramadol, Oxycodone (all three) → Trinity grass


[[File:PlantWeeds.PNG|thumb|The triangle means that the tray is full of weeds.]]
=== Banana ===


==Chemicals, Wonderful Chemicals==
* '''Evolution:''' add Lube and Blood → Clownana (hostile mob product)
Certain chemicals do special effects on plants and mushrooms. Either it kills, heals, feeds, or mutates the plant.

==Go Forth and Procreate==
== Weed Invasion ==
 
This section is about making new plants from existing ones. Remember, the seed dispenser will run dry very early into the round. And if you ask the CEO for a seed crate, he will most likely laugh in your face and kick you in the dick for being stupid. So to make more seeds, you will need the help of Mr. Seed Extractor. This little box (located next to the NutriMax) is your best friend in long rounds. It is possible to use your leet [[Hacking]] skills on the seed dispenser to get more, but these are all either poisonous or full of space drugs. To extract seeds from a plant, pick up a plant product (Fruit, Vegetables, Shrooms, etc.). Then, click the seed extractor. You will then get 1-4 bags of seeds or mycellium from the product. Then, dump out the contents of one of those shiny hydroponics crates you have, and put the extra seeds inside. This will keep them neat and organized. If you don't want to waste one of your pretty green boxes, steal a crate from the [[Cargo Bay]], or those pointless rooms right next to the [[Mining Dock|mining dock]]. If a new species sprouts in your farm, keep it alive so you can make seeds from it and grow more.
 
==Soil==
 
Soil is an alternative to trays. Get some sand, use it to make sandstone, then take three sandstones to make soil. Sand can be dug by Shaft Miners on the Asteroids, alternatively you can grow grass in your existing hydroponics trays, then plant the grass tiles and dig them up with the spade (found in the back room), this will dig up some sand. Congratulations, you are no longer restricted to trays for growing now. Be warned though, it is not the most efficient method of planting, as there are no lights to indicate needs for water, fertilizer, etc. Removing soil is done with a shovel or spade.


When weed level hits 10 and wins the check, the tray is overwritten by one of: reishi, nettles, amanita, chanterelle, plumphelmet, towercap, harebells, weeds, grass, wheat. In xenoflora, some of these are useful (nettles for acid/weapons, reishi/liberty cap for drugs, tower cap for wood). Keep trays weeded with mini-hoe or weed killer to avoid losing crops, or let invasion happen on purpose to get exotic weeds for seed extraction.


==Analyzing the Analysis==
== Tray Care ==


Upon selecting the [[Botanist]], you will find that your apron contains a handy-dandy Plant Analyzer. You use this to get a highly detailed analysis of the targeted plant. The readout looks like this:
Same as main [[Guide_to_Hydroponics|Hydroponics guide]]: Mushrooms — nutrients only. Weeds (e.g. nettles) — water only. Other plants — water + nutrients. Use Plant Analyzer for full stats (Endurance, Yield, Maturation, Production, Potency, harvest type). Companion planting: adjacent trays with the same species or a listed companion boost health and can reduce pests; monocrop stacking also gives a small bonus.

'''Exotic Seeds Crate:''' Liberty cap, Reishi mycelium, multiple Random seeds, Kudzu. Use these to bootstrap xenobotany and kudzu without waiting for weed invasion.
! Age
| How old the plant is. When a plant's age equals it's lifespan, it dies.
|-
! Endurance
| The higher this is, the lower the water and nutrient levels can get before the plant dies.
|-
! Lifespan
| How long the plant will live.
|-
! Yield
| The maximum amount of product it will produce in it's lifespan.
|-
! Production
| How many products it will produce at once.
|-
! Potency
| The FLOWER POWER the plant posesses. If it is a chili, this equals hotness or coldness (for ice peppers). For shrooms, this equals toxicity. For drugs, this equals how long it gets you high. For Nettles, this equals damage dealt.
|}<br />
The analyzer also shows you the status of the pot. Weeds and pests can be remedied by hoeing or a few squirts of Pest Spray. Toxicity is important for shrooms, because it tells you how deadly it is. The water and nutrition levels are self-explanatory.

Xenobotany / Xenoflora Guide

Xenobotany (xenoflora) is the study and cultivation of exotic, mutated, and alien plants. The xenobotany SeedMaster holds all garden seeds plus exclusive exotic and mutation-focused varieties. The xenobotany SeedMaster scanner shows: stats, produce, soil (nutrient/water), temperature, and light — use it to plan mutations and evolutions.

Xenobotany-Exclusive Seeds

These are in the xenobotany SeedMaster only (or cargo Exotic Seeds Crate where noted). Reagents are base values; potency and traits scale effects.

Name Product / Reagents Notes
Ambrosia vulgaris Nutriment, Space drugs, Monocaridine, Toxin Mutate → Ambrosia Deus, Ambrosia Robusto
Amanita (fly amanita) Nutriment, Amatoxin, Psilocybin Weed invasion; mutate → Destroying angel, Plastellium
Glowshroom Radium Mutate from Reishi; spread, wall-hugger; plant on floors
Harebell Nutriment Weed invasion
Liberty cap Nutriment, Stoxin, Space drugs Mutate from Reishi
Mercy's hand (shand) Bicaridine, Anti-toxin Mutate from Space alocasia
Moon tear Sugar, Moon water Mutate from Sun tear
Nettle Nutriment, Sulphuric acid (sacid); weapon, poison Weed invasion; stings without gloves; mutate → Death nettle
Plastellium Plasticide Mutate from Fly amanita
Reishi Nutriment, Psilocybin Weed invasion; mutate → Liberty cap, Glowshroom
Sun tear (mtear) Honey, Kelotane Tajaran plant
Blood root (broot) Nutriment, Sanguinum Mutate from Potato
Jurl'mah reeds Mutagen, Nutriment Alien
Amauri Zombie powder, Condensed capsaicin, Nutriment Alien

Kudzu Nutriment, lg_anti_toxin (Dylovene); invasive vines, plant anywhere Exotic Seeds Crate / cargo; spreading
Random seeds (varies) 6 in xenobotany; random mutant each packet

Mutation Mechanics

  • Mutation level: Built by mutagen (Unstable Mutagen ≥15 units, Radium ≥8 units) and mutation_mod from reagents (e.g. Left4Zed, Plant-B-Gone). Each process tick reduces mutation_level by 2–4. When it triggers, the plant mutates and level resets.
  • Severity 1: Random trait mutation (same species, different stats).
  • Severity 2: Species mutation — pick from seed.mutants (e.g. tomato → bluetomato).
  • Severity 3: "Great" mutation — pick from seed.greatMutants (e.g. ambrosia → ambrosia infernum or ambrosia omni). Requires somatoray/flora gun "evolve" shot or equivalent.
  • Severity 4: Evolution — only if seed has evolutions and the plant's chems contain all reagents listed for that evolution. Then species changes to the evolution target (e.g. ambrosia omni + cronexidone → ambrosia panacea).

Somatoray / Flora gun (if available)

  • Floramut shot: 20% chance to mutate (severity 2 or 3 by probability).
  • Florayield shot: 20% chance to add +1 or +2 yield_mod.
  • Floraevolve shot: 20% chance to trigger severity 4 (evolution).

Mutation Trees

Ambrosia vulgaris

  • Mutants: Ambrosia Deus, Ambrosia Robusto
  • Great mutants: Ambrosia Infernum, Ambrosia Omni
  • Ambrosia Omni evolution: add Cronexidone → Ambrosia Panacea
  • Ambrosia Infernum evolution: add Aluminum → Ambrosia Diablos

Destroying angel

  • Great mutants: Grave Filler

Metal cap (mutate from Tower cap)

  • Evolution: add Plasma → Plasma cap

Grass line (Maiden / Mother / Crone grass)

  • Evolution: plant must have Paracetamol, Tramadol, Oxycodone (all three) → Trinity grass

Banana

  • Evolution: add Lube and Blood → Clownana (hostile mob product)

Weed Invasion

When weed level hits 10 and wins the check, the tray is overwritten by one of: reishi, nettles, amanita, chanterelle, plumphelmet, towercap, harebells, weeds, grass, wheat. In xenoflora, some of these are useful (nettles for acid/weapons, reishi/liberty cap for drugs, tower cap for wood). Keep trays weeded with mini-hoe or weed killer to avoid losing crops, or let invasion happen on purpose to get exotic weeds for seed extraction.

Tray Care

Same as main Hydroponics guide: Mushrooms — nutrients only. Weeds (e.g. nettles) — water only. Other plants — water + nutrients. Use Plant Analyzer for full stats (Endurance, Yield, Maturation, Production, Potency, harvest type). Companion planting: adjacent trays with the same species or a listed companion boost health and can reduce pests; monocrop stacking also gives a small bonus.

Cargo

Exotic Seeds Crate: Liberty cap, Reishi mycelium, multiple Random seeds, Kudzu. Use these to bootstrap xenobotany and kudzu without waiting for weed invasion.
