| |
| Hydroponics is the process of growing plants with added nutrients, inside of water instead of soil; some departments might still include rooms with soil mounds.<br>
| |
| A [[Botanist]] performs this role.<br>
| |
| While this department exist primarily to help give ingredients to the [[Chef]] and feed the whole station, it also occasionally communicates with [[Chemist]]s, [[Cargo]] and the rest of [[Service]].
| |
| __TOC__
| |
| == Starting the shift ==
| |
| [[File:Bagel Botany.png|thumb|The department in a high population station]]
| |
| The Hydroponics department involves using special machines to grow plants; these are the Hydroponic Trays [[File:HydrotrayMK3.png]].<br>
| |
| Most plants are readily available from the start of the shift, although you can obtain special seeds with the help of [[Cargo]], [[Salvage Specialist]]s or by exploring the maintenance hallways for leftovers, or hidden rooms.<br>
| |
| The Chef will come visit the department often, as will Service Workers, but it's not rare for Chemists to come asking for medicinal plants.
| |
| | |
| = Equipment =
| |
| All of Botany's equipment has the single and only purpose to help the Botanist obtain plants as efficiently as possible.
| |
| While some objects can have different uses, making sure that you get the desired outputs out of the seeds you plant is the main objective.

| |
| | [[File:HydrotrayMK3.png|64px]] || Hydroponic Tray || These oversized pots are where you plant seeds and grow plants into.
| |
| They require some degree of maintenance given to them, which is signalled through the various LED lights that blink on it; you can find their meaning in the [[Botanist#Hydroponics_Tray|Tray]] section.
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[File:Seedsvending.png|64px]] || MegaSeed Servitor || Contains 5 of every common seed.
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[File:NutrimaxOff.png|64px]] || Nutrimax || Dispenses all of the tools found in the [[Hydroponics#Tools|Tools]] section.
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[File:Seedextractor.png|64px]] || Seed Extractor || Insert a plant into this machine to extract generic seeds. Note that on some plants, you can alternatively use Plant Clippers on the plant before its final harvest instead. A plant clipper will retain any genetics / nutrient effects of the plant whilst the Seed Extractor will reset it to the default generic seed.
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[File:Watertank.png|64px]] || (High Capacity) Water Tank || Contains a large quantity of liquid Water. Use a bucket or container on the tank and then on the tray that needs watering. Without water, plants will die. Normal Water Tanks contain 1500 units of water, while the High Capacity kind, which are found much more commonly in Hydroponics, contain 10000 units.
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[File:Grinder.png|64px]] || Reagent Grinder || Always found in the kitchen and/or [[Chemistry]] lab, although some Hydroponics departments are found with one. A max. amount of 4 materials can be put inside, then either a drinking glass or a beaker in; all plants can be ground up to extract their inner chemicals (such as Vitamins and Nutriment), but some can be juiced too, to obtain specific juices.
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[File:Microwave.png|64px]] || [[Microwave]] || Used for cooking, but also to dry out tobacco, cannabis, and aloe into more useful items.

| |
| (A list of these, which might lose relevancy to newer version, finds: an empty Apron, a Botanical Belt, Botanist's Leather Gloves, a Botany Bandana, a Hand Labeler, Overalls, a Plant Bag, a bottle of Robust Harvest and a Box of Sterile Swabs)

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 each time they are harvested. If you have power and a Seed Extractor, you can potentially use it instead however you will lose the effects of any genetics or nutrients like Robust Harvest.

| == Crates ==
| |
| A [[Botanist]] can request crates from a [[Cargo_Technician]] that contain seeds. Most seeds will be available either in Hydroponics lockers or the [[Botanist#Tools|SeedMaker]]. Some exotic seeds will need to either be purchases from Cargo or mutated.
| |
| *Seed Crate - An assortment of seeds available from a [[Botanist#Tools|SeedMaker]]. e.g. carrot, chilli, corn, eggplant, lemon, oat, onion, potato, sugarcane, tomato, wheat
| |
| *Exotic Seed Crate - An assortment of rare seeds. e.g. banana, cannabis, egg-plant, fly amanita, nettle, pineapple, tobacco, tower cap

| == Plant Genetics ==
| |
| | |
| 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 via mutations (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 effect and higher number of bites. A higher potency in wheat equates to higher amounts of flour produced.
| |
| | |
| '''Yield''' differs by plant and can only be modified by mutation (e.g. via Unstable Mutagen). Yield affects the number of plants that will be harvested when a planted seed has grown.
| |
| | |
| Plants treated with [[Chemistry#chem_unstable_mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] will undergo random genetic mutations. The more unstable mutagen, the more mutations but the higher likelihood the plant will die before harvest. Since many genes are essential to a plant's survival, randomly mutating them has a high probability of killing the plant. However, mutation is the only way to get some genes.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| To reset the plant's genetics, put its produce into a [[Botanist#Tools|SeedMaker]]. To retain the genetics, instead use [[Botanist#Tools|Plant Clippers]]
| |
