Botanists are responsible for growing food, medicines and resources aboard the station. Without you, the [[Chef]] may resort to "questionable" methods of food acquisition. Be sure to make use of your seed extractor [[File:Seed extractor.png]] and plant clippers [[File:Plant clippers.png]] to maintain a steady supply of seeds.

Hydroponics is the process of growing plants in nutrient-rich water solutions. Nanotrasen has standardized the use of state-of-the-art hydroponics technology across their many corporate outposts, and employees are encouraged to disregard any evidence that departments on some stations still include rudimentary soil mounds.
 
The Hydroponics department is the home of the station's [[Botanist]], who has the extraordinary task of not only producing crops to feed the crew, but catering to the specific needs of the station's many departments and pushing the boundaries of agricultural science. Though any crew member may stop by Hydroponics, you can expect to see the [[Chef]] making visits to request ingredients, [[Cargo]] stopping by to task you with bounties to complete, and the occasional [[Chemist]] requesting medicinal herbs.

=== Hydroponics Tray ===
[[File:Hydro tray.png|64px]]
 
These interstellar-grade hydroponics systems are where a botanist typically spends most of their time. Examining a tray by using {{key press|shift}} + '''Left Click''' will reveal details about its current status, including its water and nutrient levels, the presence of weeds, and the status of any plants currently in the tray.
 
Seeds can be planted in an empty hydroponics tray by clicking it with a packet of seeds equipped. Once planted, the seeds will quickly sprout and begin to grow. While the plant is growing you can water it, use Robust Harvest to increase potency, or add fertilizer to increase the tray's Nutrients. When the plant is ready to harvest, the hydroponics tray will show a green indicator [[File:Hydro tray harvest.gif]]. Most plants can be harvested by hand; some more ligneous plants, like Tower Caps, will require the use of a Hatchet. Some plants, such as Apple Trees, can survive multiple harvests. Others, such as Wheat, will need be replanted each time.
 
You can Examine a Hydroponics Tray to see its Water and Nutrients. Adding water will increase the Water count over time. Adding fertilizers will increase the Nutrient count over time. Over time, the Water and Nutrient counts will fall if there is a plant in the tray.

|-
! Image !! Position !! Description
|-
| [[File:Hydro tray harvest.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Green Light, Left </center> || Ready for harvest. Left click to harvest.
|-
| [[File:Hydro tray health.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Red Light, Middle-Left </center> || The plant in the tray is dead or dying. Use a spade to remove the dead plant matter, or attempt to save the dying plant.
|-
| [[File:Hydro tray alert.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Flashing Red Light, Center </center> || The environment is suboptimal. Inspect the tray to determine the exact issue. If the tray is full of weeds, use a Mini Hoe to clear them out. If the issue is a problem with the atmosphere, temperature or pressure, and it seems to be effecting other plants, call an Engineer or Atmospheric Technician to find the problem. Remember that plant mutations can both change a plant's sensitivity to these factors AND that mutations can cause plants to generate dangerous gases.
|-
| [[FIle:Hydro tray nutri.gif|center|64px]] || <center> Yellow Light, Middle-Right </center> || The tray is low on Nutrients and requires fertilizer. EZ Nutriment is the easiest way to fertilize trays, but harvested produce can also be directly mulched into trays for fertilizer. More advanced methods, like Ammonia from [[Chemistry]] or large amounts of blended Nutriment from produce, also work well.

In addition to the tools above, Botanists will have a number of chemicals available to them, either from vendors or made via chemistry. Careless use of chemicals can have unintended side effects, and should be used appropriately ([[Traitor|or not]]). <br />
|-
[[File:Bottle.png]] [[Chemistry#chem_EZNutrient|EZ Nutrient]] - adds nutrients to plants<br />
| <center>[[File:Bottle.png|64px]]</center> || <center>EZ Nutrient</center> || Can be used to easily add Nutrients to the Hydroponics Trays. 1u of EZ Nutrient adds 2 Nutrient to the tray.
[[File:Bottle.png]] [[Chemistry#chem_RobustHarvest|Robust Harvest]] - increases plant potency<br />
|-
[[File:Pest spray.png]] Pest Spray - contains [[Chemistry#chem_PestKiller|pest killer]], kills pests<br />

|-
[[File:Bottle.png]] Fertilizers - such as [[Chemistry#chem_Ammonia|ammonia]] and [[Chemistry#chem_Diethylamine|diethylamine]]
| <center>[[File:Mini hoe.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Mini Hoe</center> || Removes weeds from your precious Hydroponics Trays.
|-
| <center>[[file:Agrichemkit.png|64px]]</center> || <center>NT "AgriChem Is Fun" Kit</center> || A kid-friendly chemistry kit with everything you need to get started with botanical science. Includes 30u each of Potassium, Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Ethanol; 5u each Radium and Chlorine; an empty 30u bottle; and detailed and not-at-all condescending instructions on mixing botanical chemicals.
|-
| <center>[[File:Pest spray.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Pest Spray</center> || Non-refillable spray bottle of Pest Killer. Takes away any vermin that might be present in the tray, but poisons the plant. As tray vermin aren't currently implemented, this item is currently useless.
|-
| <center>[[File:Plant-b-gone.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Plant-B-Gone</center> || Kills plants and weeds. Best saved for unexpected Kudzu outbreaks.
|-
| <center>[[File:Plant bag.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Plant Bag</center> || For transporting plant materials. When holding the bag, left click the ground near you to store multiple plants (and seeds) at a time. Left click on a table or counter in order to empty the bag onto it. Right click on the bag to get the option to dump the contents where you are standing. '''Plant Bags only take up a 1x2 inventory slot, fit in backpacks, and can be stored in pockets.''' This makes them extremely useful for moving and storing huge amounts of produce.
|-
| <center>[[File:Plant clippers.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Plant Clippers</center> || The Botanist's best friend. Takes samples from plants, giving you a seed; all of the plant's genetics at the time of clipping will be copied onto this seed. Overuse will decrease the health of the plant. Some plants are multi-harvest plants and so can be clipped at the final harvest. Other plants are single-harvest plants so should be clipped before each harvest, especially if they've been treated with Robust Harvest. If the plant is still seed-bearing, the Seed Extractor is often more useful for mass production of plants.
|-
| <center>[[File:Bottle.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Robust Harvest</center> || Increases plant potency (and size) up to 50 (i.e. half of max potency). Up to 15u to a Hydroponics Tray are needed to be completely sure to get to this value with most plants, although it can be made into a more precise measure by using the dropper. Be warned, as plants significantly modified with Robust Harvest will not produce seeds, making clipping necessary to produce new crops. Has fun side effects if metabolized by Diona.
|-
| <center>[[File:Scythe.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Scythe</center> || Sharp, a more showy but less damaging alternative to the hatchet.
|-
| <center>[[File:Spade.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Spade</center> || Removes living or dead plants from the tray. Can be used as a rudimentary weapon.
|-
| <center>[[File:Swab.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Sterile Swab</center> || Used to transfer pollen from one plant to another for crossbreeding. <br>They are found clean in boxes or in the NutriMax, and after one single swabbing they're considered used, and will have stored one single, random genetic trait from the starting plant; swabbing again, on a different plant, will transfer said trait and collect another from it. It is so far not possible to know which traits are being taken, or to properly transfer desired genes without using multiple swabs.
|-
| <center>[[File:Syringe.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Syringe</center> || Holds 15u of liquid at a time. While holding it, press Z to switch between "Draw" and "Inject" modes. Can draw from bottles, beakers and other containers, if you count people and animals as "containers" too.
|-
| <center>[[File:Weed spray.png|64px]]</center> || <center>Weed Spray</center> || Non-refillable spray bottle of Weed Killer. Takes away any weeds that might have grown in the tray, but poisons the plant. Using a Mini Hoe has the same effect, and is generally preferable.

== Hydroponics Tray ==
== Crates ==
<!-- WIP -->
A [[Botanist]] can request various Hydroponics-oriented crates from [[Cargo]]. Most often you'll only be requesting Exotic Seeds Crates, you addict.<br>
[[File:Hydro tray.png|64px]]
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Name !! Usage
|-
| <center>Bulk Plant-B-Gone Crate</center> || Contains a total of 1000u of Plant-B-Gone. Completely overkill, unless the station resembles a singular mass of Kudzu.
|-
| <center>Exotic Seeds Crate</center> || The most common purchase a Botanist will request from Cargo. Contains 2 each of Bungo, Cannabis, Egg-Plant, Fly Amanita, Nettle, Tobacco, and Tower Cap seeds. Some of the seeds are technically contraband, but it's extraordinarily rare for anyone to bat an eye.
|-
| <center>Hydroponics Equipment Crate</center> || Contains the equivalent of a Hydroponics locker. Not a common purchase, everything inside can be purchased at the NutriMax or Hydrobe.
|-
|<center>Medicinal Seeds Crate</center>
|Contains 3 packets each of Aloe, Ambrosia Vulgaris, Galaxythistle, Lingzhi, and Poppy seeds.
|-
|<center>MegaSeed Restock Crate</center>
|Contains a MegaSeed restock box to refill your department's MegaSeed Servitor.
|-
|<center>NutriMax Restock Crate</center>
|Contains a NutriMax restock box to refill your department's Nutrimax.
|-
|<center>Seeds Crate</center>
|Contains 12 generic seeds that are otherwise available in the MegaSeed Servitor.
|}
 
= Plants & Seeds =
 
Most seeds will be available in the MegaSeed Servitor, but some exotic seeds will need to either be purchased from Cargo or even mutated from existing seeds.
 
You can Examine a Seed to see its Yield and Potency.
 
'''Potency''' starts at 5 out of the Seed Extractor / Vending Machine but can be increased to 50 via 15u of Robust Harvest. Max potency is 100 and can only currently be achieved by mutating plants that already have 50 potency (e.g. via Unstable Mutagen). Potency affects the size of the plant and amount of chemicals it provides in the Reagent Grinder. For example, highly potent medical herbs break down into more medicine and can be eaten for more pronounced effects and a higher number of bites. A higher potency in Wheat equates to higher amounts of flour produced.
 
'''Yield''' differs by plant and can be modified by mutation (e.g. via Unstable Mutagen) or by swabbing from plants with different yields (commonly, Apple Trees or Cocoa Trees are used to give other plants higher yields). Yield affects the number of plants that will be harvested when a planted seed has grown.
 
Plants can also be cross-pollinated with one another for a chance to transfer traits and other desirable properties. To transfer pollen from one plant to another, use a [[Botanist#Tools|Sterile Swab]]. Avoid pollen cross-contamination! Different species can be crossed to produce hybrids. Since cross-pollination is also probabilistic, it may take several tries for you to transfer the traits that you desire.

== Mutations ==
 
Plants treated with {{cl|Unstable Mutagen|UnstableMutagen}} will undergo random genetic mutations, and may even mutate into new species. The more Unstable Mutagen a plant receives, the likely it receives mutations. Since many genes are essential to a plant's survival, high amounts of Unstable Mutagen are likely to kill a plant. It's recommended that you use a Dropper to limit the amount of Mutagen you introduce a plant to.

These interstellar-grade hydroponics systems are where a botanist typically spends most of their time. Examining a tray by {{key press|shift}}+left-clicking will reveal details about its current status, including its water and nutrient levels, the presence of weeds and the status of any plants currently in the tray.
A variety of different chemicals have unique effects when metabolized by plants. Some heal plants that have taken damage, some extend their lifespan or restore seed-bearing capabilities, and some (Unstable Mutagen in particular) allow botanists to mutate entirely new species of plants.


Seeds can be planted in a cleared hydroponics tray by clicking with a packet of seeds equipped. Once planted, the seeds will quickly sprout and begin to grow. When the crops are ready to harvest the hydroponics tray will show a green indicator [[File:Hydro tray harvest.gif]]. Most plants can be harvested by hand; some, however, will require the use of tools. Some plants, such as apple trees, can survive multiple harvests. Others, such as wheat, will need be be replanted each time.

=== Tray Maintenance ===
Eventually all plants will reach the end of their life and will need to be removed, if not harvested. Using a spade or a shovel on a hydroponics tray will remove any plant, dead or alive. Plants that are unhealthy or dead will be shown by a red indicator on the tray [[File:Hydro tray health.gif]]


Over time, hydroponics trays can become filled with weeds. These can be removed either by using a mini hoe, or through chemical means. Be warned, however, that overuse of weed killers can lead to unhealthy plants, possibly killing them. Trays filled with weeds will have a flashing red indicator [[File:Hydro tray alert.gif]].

Service

Botanist

Access: Maintenance, Service, Hydroponics (+ Kitchen, Bar on certain stations)
Difficulty: Easy
Duties: Supply the Chef with all the produce they can carry. Mutate panacea plants to replace Medical. Overrun the station with Kudzu 10 minutes into the shift.
Supervisors: Head of Personnel
Subordinates: None
Guides: This is the guide!

Hydroponics is the process of growing plants in nutrient-rich water solutions. Nanotrasen has standardized the use of state-of-the-art hydroponics technology across their many corporate outposts, and employees are encouraged to disregard any evidence that departments on some stations still include rudimentary soil mounds.

The Hydroponics department is the home of the station's Botanist, who has the extraordinary task of not only producing crops to feed the crew, but catering to the specific needs of the station's many departments and pushing the boundaries of agricultural science. Though any crew member may stop by Hydroponics, you can expect to see the Chef making visits to request ingredients, Cargo stopping by to task you with bounties to complete, and the occasional Chemist requesting medicinal herbs.

The department in a high population station

Equipment

A variety of different machines, tools, crates and chemicals can either be found within Hydroponics, or serve to aid the Botanists working there.

Machines

Appliances and Utilities Found Within the Department
Image Name Usage
Botanist's Locker
Contains spare clothing for Botanists to use, as well as some useful items like a Dropper, Plant Bag, and Sterile Swab Dispenser.
Biogenerator
An advanced machine capable of processing plants into biomass, which can then be printed into a variety of useful items. Allows Botany to use their excess produce to restock spent chemicals and aid the Chef in food preparation. Plants inserted into the Biogenerator will produce an amount of biomass equal to their nutriment content.

Be sure to insert a glass or beaker into the machine before printing liquids, or they'll splash all over the floor.

High-Capacity Water Tank
Contains 10,000u of liquid water, enough to keep your plants watered for an entire shift.
HyDrobe
Contains Hydroponics marked clothes, such as jumpsuits and bags, as well as various cosmetic items like hats, aprons and scarves.
Hydroponic Tray
The heart and soul of Botany, these advanced trays allow the cultivation of any plant in the galaxy, with diagnostic systems that allow the user to easily identify a crop's needs.
These needs are signaled through the various LED lights that blink on the tray's side; you can find their meaning in the Tray section.


Trays need to be regularly refilled with water and must have their Nutrients refilled with fertilizer or by mulching plants.
Trays can receive any liquid solution, with some being more helpful to the plant's well-being than others; the tray absorbs 1 unit of a solution every second, even when there is no plant inside.

MegaSeed Servitor
Contains 3 to 5 of every common seed.
Microwave
Primarily used for Cooking, but also to dry out Tobacco, Cannabis, and Aloe into more useful items. Some stations have Microwaves already installed in Hydroponics, while on other stations you'll need to borrow the chef's.
NutriMax
Dispenses all of the tools found in the Tools section, including Left-4-Zed when Emagged.
Patch of Soil
The classic (and much less responsive) way of cultivating plants. You can still inspect it to check on nutrients and water saturation, but say goodbye to fancy lights and automatic warnings.
Reagent Grinder
Always found in the kitchen and/or Chemistry lab, although some Hydroponics departments are found with one. Can fit up to 6 materials and a glass, beaker, shaker or other container to process them in. All plants can be ground up to extract their inner chemicals (such as Vitamins and Nutriment). Some can be juiced to obtain specific juices.
Seed Extractor
Insert a plant's produce into this machine to extract 1 to 3 seeds. Note that you can also use Plant Clippers on all plants before you harvest them for a free seed packet.

Hydroponics Tray

These interstellar-grade hydroponics systems are where a botanist typically spends most of their time. Examining a tray by using ⇧ Shift + Left Click will reveal details about its current status, including its water and nutrient levels, the presence of weeds, and the status of any plants currently in the tray.

Seeds can be planted in an empty hydroponics tray by clicking it with a packet of seeds equipped. Once planted, the seeds will quickly sprout and begin to grow. While the plant is growing you can water it, use Robust Harvest to increase potency, or add fertilizer to increase the tray's Nutrients. When the plant is ready to harvest, the hydroponics tray will show a green indicator . Most plants can be harvested by hand; some more ligneous plants, like Tower Caps, will require the use of a Hatchet. Some plants, such as Apple Trees, can survive multiple harvests. Others, such as Wheat, will need be replanted each time.

You can Examine a Hydroponics Tray to see its Water and Nutrients. Adding water will increase the Water count over time. Adding fertilizers will increase the Nutrient count over time. Over time, the Water and Nutrient counts will fall if there is a plant in the tray.

Different Hydroponics Tray Indicators
Image Position Description
Green Light, Left
Ready for harvest. Left click to harvest.
Red Light, Middle-Left
The plant in the tray is dead or dying. Use a spade to remove the dead plant matter, or attempt to save the dying plant.
Flashing Red Light, Center
The environment is suboptimal. Inspect the tray to determine the exact issue. If the tray is full of weeds, use a Mini Hoe to clear them out. If the issue is a problem with the atmosphere, temperature or pressure, and it seems to be effecting other plants, call an Engineer or Atmospheric Technician to find the problem. Remember that plant mutations can both change a plant's sensitivity to these factors AND that mutations can cause plants to generate dangerous gases.
Yellow Light, Middle-Right
The tray is low on Nutrients and requires fertilizer. EZ Nutriment is the easiest way to fertilize trays, but harvested produce can also be directly mulched into trays for fertilizer. More advanced methods, like Ammonia from Chemistry or large amounts of blended Nutriment from produce, also work well.
Blue Light, Right
The tray requires more Water. Use a water bucket on the tray to refill it.

Tools

Items for the Botanist to Use
Image Name Usage
Bottle
Used to store and transfer small amounts of liquid. Holds 30u. If dropped, shatters.
Bucket
Used to store and transfer large amounts of liquid (usually water). If dropped, spills contents on the floor. Holds 250u.
Dropper
A smaller version of the syringe, holds up to 5u of liquid and dispenses only 1u at a time. Vital for careful use of Unstable Mutagen.
EZ Nutrient
Can be used to easily add Nutrients to the Hydroponics Trays. 1u of EZ Nutrient adds 2 Nutrient to the tray.
Hatchet
Useful for harvesting Tower Caps and certain mutated plants. A territorial Botanist's best weapon.
Left-4-Zed
A unique mutagenic compound that has a chance to increase mutation severity. Best used in concert with Unstable Mutagen. Can be made in the Biogenerator.
Mini Hoe
Removes weeds from your precious Hydroponics Trays.
NT "AgriChem Is Fun" Kit
A kid-friendly chemistry kit with everything you need to get started with botanical science. Includes 30u each of Potassium, Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Ethanol; 5u each Radium and Chlorine; an empty 30u bottle; and detailed and not-at-all condescending instructions on mixing botanical chemicals.
Pest Spray
Non-refillable spray bottle of Pest Killer. Takes away any vermin that might be present in the tray, but poisons the plant. As tray vermin aren't currently implemented, this item is currently useless.
Plant-B-Gone
Kills plants and weeds. Best saved for unexpected Kudzu outbreaks.
Plant Bag
For transporting plant materials. When holding the bag, left click the ground near you to store multiple plants (and seeds) at a time. Left click on a table or counter in order to empty the bag onto it. Right click on the bag to get the option to dump the contents where you are standing. Plant Bags only take up a 1x2 inventory slot, fit in backpacks, and can be stored in pockets. This makes them extremely useful for moving and storing huge amounts of produce.
Plant Clippers
The Botanist's best friend. Takes samples from plants, giving you a seed; all of the plant's genetics at the time of clipping will be copied onto this seed. Overuse will decrease the health of the plant. Some plants are multi-harvest plants and so can be clipped at the final harvest. Other plants are single-harvest plants so should be clipped before each harvest, especially if they've been treated with Robust Harvest. If the plant is still seed-bearing, the Seed Extractor is often more useful for mass production of plants.
Robust Harvest
Increases plant potency (and size) up to 50 (i.e. half of max potency). Up to 15u to a Hydroponics Tray are needed to be completely sure to get to this value with most plants, although it can be made into a more precise measure by using the dropper. Be warned, as plants significantly modified with Robust Harvest will not produce seeds, making clipping necessary to produce new crops. Has fun side effects if metabolized by Diona.
Scythe
Sharp, a more showy but less damaging alternative to the hatchet.
Spade
Removes living or dead plants from the tray. Can be used as a rudimentary weapon.
Sterile Swab
Used to transfer pollen from one plant to another for crossbreeding.
They are found clean in boxes or in the NutriMax, and after one single swabbing they're considered used, and will have stored one single, random genetic trait from the starting plant; swabbing again, on a different plant, will transfer said trait and collect another from it. It is so far not possible to know which traits are being taken, or to properly transfer desired genes without using multiple swabs.
Syringe
Holds 15u of liquid at a time. While holding it, press Z to switch between "Draw" and "Inject" modes. Can draw from bottles, beakers and other containers, if you count people and animals as "containers" too.
Weed Spray
Non-refillable spray bottle of Weed Killer. Takes away any weeds that might have grown in the tray, but poisons the plant. Using a Mini Hoe has the same effect, and is generally preferable.

Crates

A Botanist can request various Hydroponics-oriented crates from Cargo. Most often you'll only be requesting Exotic Seeds Crates, you addict.

Name Usage
Bulk Plant-B-Gone Crate
Contains a total of 1000u of Plant-B-Gone. Completely overkill, unless the station resembles a singular mass of Kudzu.
Exotic Seeds Crate
The most common purchase a Botanist will request from Cargo. Contains 2 each of Bungo, Cannabis, Egg-Plant, Fly Amanita, Nettle, Tobacco, and Tower Cap seeds. Some of the seeds are technically contraband, but it's extraordinarily rare for anyone to bat an eye.
Hydroponics Equipment Crate
Contains the equivalent of a Hydroponics locker. Not a common purchase, everything inside can be purchased at the NutriMax or Hydrobe.
Medicinal Seeds Crate
Contains 3 packets each of Aloe, Ambrosia Vulgaris, Galaxythistle, Lingzhi, and Poppy seeds.
MegaSeed Restock Crate
Contains a MegaSeed restock box to refill your department's MegaSeed Servitor.
NutriMax Restock Crate
Contains a NutriMax restock box to refill your department's Nutrimax.
Seeds Crate
Contains 12 generic seeds that are otherwise available in the MegaSeed Servitor.

Plants & Seeds

Most seeds will be available in the MegaSeed Servitor, but some exotic seeds will need to either be purchased from Cargo or even mutated from existing seeds.

You can Examine a Seed to see its Yield and Potency.

Potency starts at 5 out of the Seed Extractor / Vending Machine but can be increased to 50 via 15u of Robust Harvest. Max potency is 100 and can only currently be achieved by mutating plants that already have 50 potency (e.g. via Unstable Mutagen). Potency affects the size of the plant and amount of chemicals it provides in the Reagent Grinder. For example, highly potent medical herbs break down into more medicine and can be eaten for more pronounced effects and a higher number of bites. A higher potency in Wheat equates to higher amounts of flour produced.

Yield differs by plant and can be modified by mutation (e.g. via Unstable Mutagen) or by swabbing from plants with different yields (commonly, Apple Trees or Cocoa Trees are used to give other plants higher yields). Yield affects the number of plants that will be harvested when a planted seed has grown.

Plants can also be cross-pollinated with one another for a chance to transfer traits and other desirable properties. To transfer pollen from one plant to another, use a Sterile Swab. Avoid pollen cross-contamination! Different species can be crossed to produce hybrids. Since cross-pollination is also probabilistic, it may take several tries for you to transfer the traits that you desire.

Plant Name Description Plant Image Produce Image
Aloe Vera
Produces aloe, which can be used to make aloe cream, or blended to make Dermaline and Aloe. Microwaved Aloe will turn into Aloe Cream, a topical medicine for treating burn damage. Aloe is vital to the creation of other advanced topical medicine.
Ambrosia Vulgaris
Produces ambrosia vulgaris, a complex plant that contains Bicardine, a general Brute medicine, Kelotane, a general Burn medicine, and Desoxyephedrine, also known as Meth. A very useful plant for Chemistry.
Anomaly Berry
Made by planting a Plant Anomaly Core, Anomaly Berries allow Botanists to reproduce the berries found at Plant Anomaly sites. Eating the berries will produce a random piece of plant produce. Berries can also be ground up for Artifexium. Changing the plant's potency doesn't seem to have an effect.
Apple tree
Produces apples, which can be eaten for light sustenance. They are also used in various cooking recipes.
Banana tree

Mutations

Plants treated with Unstable Mutagen will undergo random genetic mutations, and may even mutate into new species. The more Unstable Mutagen a plant receives, the likely it receives mutations. Since many genes are essential to a plant's survival, high amounts of Unstable Mutagen are likely to kill a plant. It's recommended that you use a Dropper to limit the amount of Mutagen you introduce a plant to.

Mutation Effect
Bio-Luminescence
Both plant and produce glow.
Heat Resistant
Less prone to heat damage.
Higher Max Potency
The maximum potency of the plant is increased from 50 to 100.
Higher Potency
The potency of the plant is increased.
Higher Yield
The yield of the plant is increased.
High Pressure Tolerance
Resistant to high pressure.
Kudzu
Kills the plant and replaces it with rapidly spreading Kudzu vines. Kudzu obscures tiles and slows movement to a crawl, and it's capable of overtaking entire stations if left unchecked. Best dealt with through liberal use of Plant-B-Gone, or sharp weapons like the Hatchet.
Less Water
Requires less water to grow.
Ligneous
Requires a hatchet or a scythe to be harvested.
Long Life
Longer life cycle.
Low Light Tolerance
Requires less light to grow.
Low Pressure Tolerance
Resistant to low pressure
New Chemical
The produce now contains a different chemical than the one it normally would have had, or gained a new chemical alongside the original.[1]
Pest Resistant
Less likely to get pests.
Removed Chemical
The inverse of the mutation above, the produce will now no longer contain one of its original chemicals.
Screaming
Screams when harvested, clipped and, killed.
Seedless
The produce cannot be extracted for seeds. Use clippers for seed samples instead.
Sentience
The tray gains sentience (becomes a ghost role); can be killed by deconstructing.
Slippery
Makes you slip when running on the fruit.
Toxin Tolerance
Toxins have less of an effect on the plant's health.
Weed Resistant
Less likely to get weeds.

Mutated Species

Some plants can mutate into entirely new species if exposed to Unstable Mutagen early in their life cycle. These Mutated Species often resemble the original species while containing different chemicals, serving different functions, or otherwise radically differing from normal plant life. Mutate with caution, as some of the plants on this list are extremely dangerous.[2]
