Arguably one of the most dangerous places, Xenobotany deals with the growth, maintenance, study and splicing of plants.  
Arguably one of the most dangerous places, Xenobotany deals with the growth, maintenance, study, and splicing of plants. The Xenobotany laboratory consists of three rooms: the main laboratory, where you will modify plants; the storage room, where you will find two xenobotanist's lockers; the containment area, where you will grow plants; and the Hazardous Specimens room, for dangerous plants.


==The Machines==
==The Machines==
Inside your laboratory are several machines that you will need to learn to use in order to get anywhere.  
In your laboratory are several machines that you will need to learn to use.
 
===All-in-one Grinder===
Reduces produce to its chemical ingredients. Insert produce; grind; remove beaker of chemicals.
 
===Bioballistic Delivery System===
Transfers a gene from a disk into a seed; the traits that the gene coded for will now be expressed in the new seed. For instance, isolating the gene that allows berries to grow in bushes, and injecting it into a wheat seed, would yield a bush that grows wheat and can be harvested repeatedly like a berry bush.
 
A single seed can only take so much alteration; too much, and it would be rendered sterile. The machine will prevent this from happening by refusing to alter a seed when doing so would kill it.  However, fresh seeds, extracted from fresh fruit, are fully stable regardless of how much you modified the parent seed; so it is possible to completely change a plant through an iterative process of modification and growth.
 
===Biogenerator===
Generates all sorts of items from plant matter. Feed it your unwanted produce and generate food, fertilizer, construction materials, medicine, and more.
 
===Chemical Dispenser===
Dispenses chemicals into containers. Useful for making mutagen and fertilizer. Use a screwdriver to remove cartridges.
 
===ChemMaster 3000===
Isolates and bottles chemicals; makes pills. Insert a beaker of chemicals to use.


===Flora Data Disk===
===Flora Data Disk===
One of the primary tools you will use. Alone, it is not very useful - however, when used with the two below machines, it becomes the tool with which you will splice plants together to create the final target result of your choice. Should the disk hold data you do not find valuable, you can activate it to clear out it's content - and it will be good as new. Note that any gene data stored on a disk is perfectly preserved and never decays, regardless of how many time it is spliced into a plant.
Holds the genetic blueprint of a plant. Alone, it is not very useful. However, when used with the two machines below, it becomes a tool for splicing plants together to create a new species. Gene data stored on a disk is perfectly preserved and never decays, regardless of how many time it is spliced into a plant. To erase a disk for re-use, activate it.
 
===Atmospherics Control System===
Pipes laid along the floor of the Hazardous Specimens room and Containment area, used for dealing with plants that produce gases or have special temperature requirements. Use the gas heater or cooler to change temperature. See [[Guide_to_Atmospherics|Atmospherics]] for more details.
 
===Hydroponics Trays===
Grow plants in 'em. See [[Guide to Hydroponics]] for more details.


===Lysis-isolation Centrifuge===
===Lysis-isolation Centrifuge===
This machine, when a disk is inserted, is capable of completely extracting and sequencing the genetic code present in a plant's seed (or a mushroom's spore). Once that is done, you may load one specific gene onto the disk - after which it will automatically eject. Note, however, that a genetic sample is not stable - the more you extract from it, the more integrity it will lose, to the point where it will not be viable. Most plant genomes can usually survive two to three extractions before requiring a fresh sample.  
Isolates a gene from a seed. Insert a data disk and a plant seed (or a mushroom spore), open the machine's interface, and select "Process Genome" to see the plant's genome. This destroys the seed and lets you load one of the plant's twelve genes onto the disk. A genetic sample stored in the centrifuge is not stable; the more you extract from it, the more integrity it will lose, to the point where it will not be viable. Most plant genomes can survive two or three extractions before a fresh sample is needed.  


===Bioballistic Delivery System===
===NutriMax===
One of the more useful machines, it allows you to inject a gene sequence directly into a viable plant seed, which will result in whichever traits the sample held to be transferred over. For instance - should you find the genetic enzyme that allows berries to grow in bushes, and inject it into a wheat seed, that seed will then be capable of growing bushes that are capable of growing wheat repeatedly.
Contains the chemicals that you will use to help manage your plants. Doing so is essentially identical to [[Guide_to_Hydroponics|Hydroponics]]; but your NutriMax also carries Unstable Mutagen, which you can use to modify plants.
 
However, a single seed can only take so much alteration - too much modification would render it sterile, dead. The machine will prevent this from happening, however - and will prevent you from altering a seed this far. Fresh seeds, extracted from fresh fruit, however, are fully stable regardless of how modified the parent seed was - and so it is possible to completely change a plant through an iterative process of modification and growth.


===Seed Dispenser===
===Seed Dispenser===
Dispenses the base seeds needed for your job. Beware, however - it has limited stores, and so if you want to avoid running out of them, you should generate new ones out of existing fruit.
Dispenses the base seeds needed for your job. Beware, however - it has limited stores, so if you want to avoid running out, you should generate new ones by extracting seeds from fruit or taking clippings from plants.


===NutriMax===
===Seed Extractor===
Contains the chemicals that you need/want to help manage your plants. Essentially identical to [[Guide_to_Hydroponics|Hydroponics]].
Insert produce; get a few packets of seeds.


===SmartFridge===
===SmartFridge===
Store your fruit here. Your seeds too, if you're lazy and don't care about seeing seed stats.
Store your fruit here. Your seeds too, if you're lazy and don't care about seeing seed stats.


===Biogenerator===
A very useful machine. By feeding it your useless plant matter, you can generate all manners of items - from more nutriment to leather items to synthetic meat (for whichever purpose you could need it).
===Seed Extractor===
Self-explanatory. Give it a harvested plant and it will give you a few packets of seeds.

Once that's done, there are three paths you may follow:


===Splicing===
===Splice===
''Difficulty'': Easy
Difficulty: Easy<br />Potential: Low
''Potential'': Low


The simplest. Using the plants available to you, you carefully craft the ultimate plant of your desire. The process is simple: grow a plant, get it's seeds, extract a gene using the [[Guide_to_Xenobotany#Lysis-Isolation Centrifuge|Centrifuge]] mentioned above. Grow another different plant, take it's seeds and splice the first plant's gene in using the [[Guide to Xenobotany#Bioballistic Delivery System|injection machine]]. Use the plant analyzer to know what you have changed.  
Using the plants available to you, combine the genes to create a custom plant. The process is simple: Extract a gene from one plant using the [[Guide_to_Xenobotany#Lysis-Isolation Centrifuge|Centrifuge]] and splice the gene into a second plant with the [[Guide to Xenobotany#Bioballistic Delivery System|injection machine]]. Use the plant analyzer to figure out what changes you have made.


===Mutate===
===Mutate===
''Difficulty'':Medium
Difficulty: Medium<br />Potential: Medium
''Potential'': Medium
 
Add a mutagen to a plant's hydroponics tray or soil and watch its genes change randomly. Some plants have the potential to change subspecies, as well. Mutagens include radium and the Unstable Mutagen from your NutriMax. Mutagens can kill your plants, and some mutations are dangerous.


A basic initiation to exotic plants. Using some mutagen (Radium is the most common, and most readily available as Glowshrooms produce it) in the plant's mixture, note the changes that they go through. Two things to take note of however: most mutagens will QUICKLY kill your plants, and you may require some protection (gasmask/botanist's gloves, most notably) to work with certain plants that will appear.
===Design===
Difficulty: High<br />Potential: Extreme


There ARE other mutagens than Radium, obviously. Someone with experience in chemistry may know more.
Splicing + Mutation. Using mutation, you access the full range of possible plant genes; using splicing, create a customized plant.


The biggest challenge
==Mutants & Rare Plants==
Most of the plants available to you are the common plants also available in Hydroponics. These are the exceptions:

A mixture of the two above. You design a plant by splicing genes in... but now you have the full repertoire of what a plant can achieve, and thus the hardest part becomes breeding your plants to have the genes you desire.


==Hazards==
==Hazards==


===Kudzu===
===Gas Production===
Kudzu will spread out of their tray and onto the ground. Normal ones aren't so bad - just a pain to get rid of. But beware of modifications - they have spines, and they will inject you with whatever chemical they hold - be it the dylovene a normal plant holds, or some cyanide you made it produce. Try to splice it with a plant that doesn't grow so much.
Some mutant plants create gases, some of which can poison or suffocate you. Protect yourself with a gas mask and an oxygen supply, and flip the lid on a hydroponics basin to isolate a plant. Grow gas-producing plants in the Hazardous Specimens room.
 
===K'ois===
K'ois is a Vaurca delicacy which is highly poisonous because it contains phoron. When it matures, it spreads spores in a gaseous cloud that will poison anyone who inhales it. If you inhale it, call for Medical immediately. Protect yourself with a gas mask or face mask. K'ois will also inject K'ois into any nearby containers or produce. Best grown in the Hazardous Specimens room.


===Atmospherics===
===Spines, Explosions, and Juiciness===
During some of your mutations, you may encounter plants that create gasses. Most of which you can't breathe. Making sure that you are protected (such as with a gas mask and a labcoat) and flipping the lid immediately to ensure you are not locked in.  
Plants that mutate spines can apply the chemicals they contain to anyone who touches them. Protect yourself with thick gardening gloves. Plants that explode, or are very juicy, will also spread their contents when thrown.


===Kois===
===Vines===
Kois is a Vaurca delicacy, but is highly poisonous because it contains Phoron.
Plants with the "Vine" trait will spread out of their tray and onto the ground. If they're harmless plants, they're merely annoying. But beware of modifications: If they have spines, they will inject you with whatever chemical they hold.
Harvest it quickly, or else it will spread its spores in a gaseous cloud that is dangerous to inhale.


===Spines/juiciness/instability===
Some fruits you will mutate will have one of these properties. All three of them have the potential to be very bad - much like the kudzu, these can apply any chemical they hold onto you (and, when thrown, the latter two explode, spreading their contents everywhere). Always wear a pair of botanists' gloves before handling such fruit.

Arguably one of the most dangerous places, Xenobotany deals with the growth, maintenance, study, and splicing of plants. The Xenobotany laboratory consists of three rooms: the main laboratory, where you will modify plants; the storage room, where you will find two xenobotanist's lockers; the containment area, where you will grow plants; and the Hazardous Specimens room, for dangerous plants.

The Machines

In your laboratory are several machines that you will need to learn to use.

All-in-one Grinder

Reduces produce to its chemical ingredients. Insert produce; grind; remove beaker of chemicals.

Bioballistic Delivery System

Transfers a gene from a disk into a seed; the traits that the gene coded for will now be expressed in the new seed. For instance, isolating the gene that allows berries to grow in bushes, and injecting it into a wheat seed, would yield a bush that grows wheat and can be harvested repeatedly like a berry bush.

A single seed can only take so much alteration; too much, and it would be rendered sterile. The machine will prevent this from happening by refusing to alter a seed when doing so would kill it. However, fresh seeds, extracted from fresh fruit, are fully stable regardless of how much you modified the parent seed; so it is possible to completely change a plant through an iterative process of modification and growth.

Biogenerator

Generates all sorts of items from plant matter. Feed it your unwanted produce and generate food, fertilizer, construction materials, medicine, and more.

Chemical Dispenser

Dispenses chemicals into containers. Useful for making mutagen and fertilizer. Use a screwdriver to remove cartridges.

ChemMaster 3000

Isolates and bottles chemicals; makes pills. Insert a beaker of chemicals to use.

Flora Data Disk

Holds the genetic blueprint of a plant. Alone, it is not very useful. However, when used with the two machines below, it becomes a tool for splicing plants together to create a new species. Gene data stored on a disk is perfectly preserved and never decays, regardless of how many time it is spliced into a plant. To erase a disk for re-use, activate it.

Atmospherics Control System

Pipes laid along the floor of the Hazardous Specimens room and Containment area, used for dealing with plants that produce gases or have special temperature requirements. Use the gas heater or cooler to change temperature. See Atmospherics for more details.

Hydroponics Trays

Grow plants in 'em. See Guide to Hydroponics for more details.

Lysis-isolation Centrifuge

Isolates a gene from a seed. Insert a data disk and a plant seed (or a mushroom spore), open the machine's interface, and select "Process Genome" to see the plant's genome. This destroys the seed and lets you load one of the plant's twelve genes onto the disk. A genetic sample stored in the centrifuge is not stable; the more you extract from it, the more integrity it will lose, to the point where it will not be viable. Most plant genomes can survive two or three extractions before a fresh sample is needed.

NutriMax

Contains the chemicals that you will use to help manage your plants. Doing so is essentially identical to Hydroponics; but your NutriMax also carries Unstable Mutagen, which you can use to modify plants.

Seed Dispenser

Dispenses the base seeds needed for your job. Beware, however - it has limited stores, so if you want to avoid running out, you should generate new ones by extracting seeds from fruit or taking clippings from plants.

Seed Extractor

Insert produce; get a few packets of seeds.

SmartFridge

Store your fruit here. Your seeds too, if you're lazy and don't care about seeing seed stats.

Sink & Shower For decontamination. The sink can serve as a water source. Storage
Spray Bottles For filling with cleaner, weed killer, or whatever your heart desires. Laboratory
Syringe Extracting chemicals from plants; injecting chemicals into plants. Laboratory; Containment (NutriMax)

Getting Started

First, follow Guide to Hydroponics to get your plants growing.

Once that's done, there are three paths you may follow:

Splice

Difficulty: Easy
Potential: Low

Using the plants available to you, combine the genes to create a custom plant. The process is simple: Extract a gene from one plant using the Centrifuge and splice the gene into a second plant with the injection machine. Use the plant analyzer to figure out what changes you have made.

Mutate

Difficulty: Medium
Potential: Medium

Add a mutagen to a plant's hydroponics tray or soil and watch its genes change randomly. Some plants have the potential to change subspecies, as well. Mutagens include radium and the Unstable Mutagen from your NutriMax. Mutagens can kill your plants, and some mutations are dangerous.

Design

Difficulty: High
Potential: Extreme

Splicing + Mutation. Using mutation, you access the full range of possible plant genes; using splicing, create a customized plant.

Mutants & Rare Plants

Most of the plants available to you are the common plants also available in Hydroponics. These are the exceptions:

Plant Chart

Mouse over any white-box text to view that trait's corresponding gene for Xenobotany.
Yi = Yield. Determines how many products per harvest.
Ma = Maturation time. A lower number means faster maturation time.
Pr = Produce time. A lower number means faster product growth.
Po = Potency. Determines the amount of reagents, and strength of special effects.(Needs confirmation)

Hazards

Gas Production

Some mutant plants create gases, some of which can poison or suffocate you. Protect yourself with a gas mask and an oxygen supply, and flip the lid on a hydroponics basin to isolate a plant. Grow gas-producing plants in the Hazardous Specimens room.

K'ois

K'ois is a Vaurca delicacy which is highly poisonous because it contains phoron. When it matures, it spreads spores in a gaseous cloud that will poison anyone who inhales it. If you inhale it, call for Medical immediately. Protect yourself with a gas mask or face mask. K'ois will also inject K'ois into any nearby containers or produce. Best grown in the Hazardous Specimens room.

Spines, Explosions, and Juiciness

Plants that mutate spines can apply the chemicals they contain to anyone who touches them. Protect yourself with thick gardening gloves. Plants that explode, or are very juicy, will also spread their contents when thrown.

Vines

Plants with the "Vine" trait will spread out of their tray and onto the ground. If they're harmless plants, they're merely annoying. But beware of modifications: If they have spines, they will inject you with whatever chemical they hold.
