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.
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
Image | Name | Usage |
---|---|---|
Contains spare clothing for Botanists to use, as well as some useful items like a Dropper, Plant Bag, and Sterile Swab Dispenser. | ||
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. | ||
Contains 10,000u of liquid water, enough to keep your plants watered for an entire shift. | ||
Contains Hydroponics marked clothes, such as jumpsuits and bags, as well as various cosmetic items like hats, aprons and scarves. | ||
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.
| ||
Contains 3 to 5 of every common seed. | ||
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. | ||
Dispenses all of the tools found in the Tools section, including Left-4-Zed when Emagged. | ||
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. | ||
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. | ||
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.
Image | Position | Description |
---|---|---|
Ready for harvest. Left click to harvest. | ||
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. | ||
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. | ||
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. | ||
The tray requires more Water. Use a water bucket on the tray to refill it. |
Tools
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 |
---|---|
Contains a total of 1000u of Plant-B-Gone. Completely overkill, unless the station resembles a singular mass of Kudzu. | |
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. | |
Contains the equivalent of a Hydroponics locker. Not a common purchase, everything inside can be purchased at the NutriMax or Hydrobe. | |
Contains 3 packets each of Aloe, Ambrosia Vulgaris, Galaxythistle, Lingzhi, and Poppy seeds. | |
Contains a MegaSeed restock box to refill your department's MegaSeed Servitor. | |
Contains a NutriMax restock box to refill your department's Nutrimax. | |
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 |

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 |
---|---|
Both plant and produce glow. | |
Less prone to heat damage. | |
The maximum potency of the plant is increased from 50 to 100. | |
The potency of the plant is increased. | |
The yield of the plant is increased. | |
Resistant to high pressure. | |
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. | |
Requires less water to grow. | |
Requires a hatchet or a scythe to be harvested. | |
Longer life cycle. | |
Requires less light to grow. | |
Resistant to low pressure | |
The produce now contains a different chemical than the one it normally would have had, or gained a new chemical alongside the original.[1] | |
Less likely to get pests. | |
The inverse of the mutation above, the produce will now no longer contain one of its original chemicals. | |
Screams when harvested, clipped and, killed. | |
The produce cannot be extracted for seeds. Use clippers for seed samples instead. | |
The tray gains sentience (becomes a ghost role); can be killed by deconstructing. | |
Makes you slip when running on the fruit. | |
Toxins have less of an effect on the plant's health. | |
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]
