List of nodes

Aenema Flowers

Tier 5.5

The searing hot petals of the Aenema plant are packed with useful Caliginous Gas just waiting to be extracted. Now that you can cultivate your own Aenema, you will have easy access to that resource.

Aquatic Plants

Tier 4.5

You've learned how to develop some specialized plants that enhance your mobility in water, and created Vorit, a strange jelly-like mushroom which allows you to breathe normally underwater or even in a total vacuum for a while, then harmlessly passes through your system.

Aquapods are especially useful for the copious amounts of genetic information they contain, in both the seeds and bulbs.

Beekeeping

Tier 1

You've learned to raise bees in an apiary to provide you with useful resources. Make an Apiary Crafting Station at your Machining Table to get started.

Raising bees is pretty complex. If you're not sure how, buy a guide from the Bee Refuge in the Science Outpost, accessible once you leave your starter planet.

As a simple starter tip, you need a microscope-identified queen, a matching microscope-identified drone, one or more frames, and some flowers planted nearby for production to start.

Basic Crops

Tier 1

Though the universe is filled with many strange plants, the Protectorate academy taught you about quite a few. You've learned to start culvtivating these plants for yourself at a Greenhouse which can be made at your Machining Table. You can also (crudely) extract genetic material from plants for use in the creation of more complex plants at a Sprouting Table, also made at your Machining Table.

Tip: Grow lots of corn! Corn is an incredibly versatile crop, being a source of oil, cattle feed, and the basis of many more complex plants.

Advanced Crops

Tier 2

You've mastered all the plants the Protectorate Academy taught you about, allowing you to artificially create many more plants, including the all-important Cotton.

You're ready to start branching into making various medicinal plants that don't provide satiation, but don't spoil and provide useful buffs like environmental resistance, healing, increased stats, or even act as weapons!

You'll need genes from this point on - found by processing seeds, saplings and some produce in the Sprouting Table or its upgrades. Some plants produce more seeds than others: flowers unsuited for dye-making are a good early source of seeds.

Energetic Plants

Tier 4.5

You've created a family of plants that fortify your natural energy reserves, including Energiflower, a plant so packed with energy that it can even power your ship's FTL drive.

Basic Exploration Plants

Tier 3

The universe is a dangerous place, filled with many environments your physiology isn't equipped to handle.

Master Exploration Plants

Tier 6

Your latest plants are a thing of beauty, protecting you from even the most dangerous worlds. Equipped only with the contents of your herb pouch, you're now equipped to explore nearly any world imaginable, including those with lead-melting heat, atmospheres so cold it falls to the ground as snow and environments so radioactive that even the ground glistens with energy.

Farming

Tier 1

You've learned some more complex methods of farming and can now build several helpful farming objects.

Advanced Farming

Tier 2

With a Heatlamp Tray made at your Electronics Center, you can turn electrical power into faster plant growth. They'll use more water per plant than a Growing Tray, but the added speed is worth it!

In addition, you've learned to create hydroponic and aeroponic tubing, more advanced sprinkler systems, and other useful farming enhancements for farming the old-fashioned way if you prefer that.
