Quote: This is the Captain speaking, a reward will be issued for whoever brings in the Botanist who littered the hallways with miniature banana peels, thank you.

It is like... you know man, when you grow little... the little plants in the ground? And like, you go and grow happy mushrooms?

Well, ahem, yes! You are a hippie. You can make some of the best healing foods in the game, and the most lethal too. Also, you can grow hallucinogens and toxins! Just make sure you know what plants you are growing, or you will wind up dead from eating a bad shroom, total bummer.

Bare minimum requirements: Supply the chef with a reasonable amount of fresh produce. Don't destroy the station with your plants.

Plants are people too!

For the full chart with plant types, what they look like, and what they do, please check out the Guide to hydroponics.

Fertilizer types

E-Z-Nutriment: Makes your plant mutate once between harvests, resulting in different stats or even species. Does not affect yield.

Left-4-Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice between harvests. Downside: Plants take longer to germinate, and you'll need another fertilizer to actually harvest things.

Robust Harvest: Doubles the amount of plants you'll get when it's time to harvest. Does not affect stats.

The Chef

Take your yummy vegetables to the fridge on the left side where the chef will be, then have him cook them up! There are many different dishes the chef can make from different foods you grow. Only YOU can prevent all-burger diets!

Tools of the Trade

You get a few fun tools as a botanist that will make your life so easy when growing plants:

Hatchet. It's a rather robust small cutting tool used to ~~murder people~~ make wood planks, pumpkin helmets and corn cob pipes.
Cultivator. This one is meant to claw, or perhaps filter, out weeds from the hydroponic trays.
Plant-b-Gone Spray bottle. Kill hydroponic plants, kill kudzu weeds, kill alien weeds too, can be filled with other chemicals. Does minor toxin damage, but absolutely devastates plant persons.
Plant analyzer. It tells you basically everything about your plant, including its killing / drugging / healing properties.
Backpack irrigation system. Makes watering the plants much less annoying.
Buckets, in case you want to water the plants the annoying way. These function as beakers, so you can mix chemicals inside them too.
Chemical grinder and a large beaker, so you can extract chemicals from your plants.

There is a crate in the back room. It contains:
Another bucket.
Wirecutters. To set up a more efficient irrigation system.
A wrench. To rearrange the trays.
A dropper, so you can mutate plants more precisely. An empty fertilizer bottle works as a ghetto substitute.

Chemicals

BEG the chemist to make you stuff, namely unstable mutagen. You will go through this stuff fast, so make sure they aren't stingy. If chemistry is helpful they can also give you a dropper for more precise mutations. A generous chemist might even lend you a spare chem dispenser if you ask nicely.

Different chemicals do different things to your plants when injected. Experiment until you find a blend you like!

Most of your crops can be blended down into chemicals themselves. You can also put these crops directly into hydroponics trays if dosage specificity isn't an issue.

An alternative to chemicals is a floral somatoray. You can get it from the scientists unless they and/or the shaft miners are being lazy. It is a gun that shoots mutation rays that either increases yield or tries to change the plant's stats. (Guide to hydroponics).

Tips

Your bottles are better then regular bottles and can put in 1 2 5 10 15 30 doses. Droppers aren't as mandatory as they once were.
You can fertilize your trays via applying harvested plants to a Hydroponics Tray with something already planted in it.
The biogenerator can be used to fabricate gloves, belts, Botany chemicals, and even kitchen products such as meat and milk.
- Instead of growing wheat, you may find it less time consuming to throw some spare plants in the biogenerator to get a whole bag of flour. No grinding needed!
Remember you can boost a plant back to health long past its normal lifespan by providing lots of nutriment or healing chemicals.
Hatchets are extremely effective against space vines. Similarly, scythes will destroy them in a 3x3 radius.
Goats will instantly consume any space vines they may walk into, or be pushed into.
The plant products in the Garden and Chapel all have 50 potency, greater then any seeds found at the start of the round.
The EZ-Nutrient, Left-4-Zed and Robust Harvest bottles all hold 50 units and can be set to have a transfer amount of 1, 2, 5 or more units; fill an empty bottle with unstable mutagen and you can use it for precise mutations.

 ==Plants are people too!==
 For the full chart with plant types, what they look like, and what they do, please check out the [[Guide to hydroponics]].
 ===Fertilizer types===
-'''EZ-Grow:''' An in-between version of the two other fertilizers. Raises harvest amount (but not as much as Robust Harvest), and lets the plant's stats mutate (but not as much as Left-4-Zed)
+'''E-Z-Nutriment:''' Makes your plant mutate once between harvests, resulting in different stats or even species. Does not affect yield.
-'''Left-4-Zed:''' Increases the chance of plant stat mutations. The stats can either increase or decrease!
-'''Robust Harvest:''' Raises amount of plants you'll get when it's time to harvest.
-===THIS'S WHERE TH' SEEDS LIVE! GIT YOU SOME!===
+'''Left-4-Zed:''' Makes your plant mutate twice between harvests. Downside: Plants take longer to germinate, and you'll need another fertilizer to actually harvest things.
-Head to the vending machine, get some seeds. There may be hidden seeds in the machine, if you know how to '''PROPERLY HACK IT''', then do so and collect the rewards.
+'''Robust Harvest:''' Doubles the amount of plants you'll get when it's time to harvest. Does not affect stats.
 ===The [[Chef]]===
-Take your yummy vegetables to window on the left side where the chef will be, then have him cook them up! There are many different foods the chef can make from different foods you grow. Or, as an alternative, have him blend different things for you. Blended foods provide a concentration of various materials that can be separated from nutriment reagents.

-Things you should get from the outside:
+There is a crate in the back room. It contains:<br/>
-* A tool box. To set up the irrigation system and rearrange the
+[[File:Bucket.png]] Another bucket.<br/>
-* A multitool. To hack the seed vendor.
+[[File:Wirecutters.png]] Wirecutters. To set up a more efficient irrigation system.<br/>
-* Toxin Med kit. Because sometimes you can get TOO high.
+[[File:Wrench.png]] A wrench. To rearrange the trays.<br/>
-* Insulated Gloves. In case you fail to hack it the first time.
+[[File:Eyedropper.png]] A dropper, so you can mutate plants more precisely. An empty fertilizer bottle works as a ghetto substitute.<br/>
-* An engineer. Because electricity will fucking kill you.
+===Chemicals===
-* Poly acid, in a spray bottle. It will melt down your fail crops.
+BEG the chemist to make you stuff, namely unstable mutagen. You will go through this stuff fast, so make sure they aren't stingy. If chemistry is helpful they can also give you a dropper for more precise mutations. A generous chemist might even lend you a spare chem dispenser if you [[Hacking#Airlocks|ask nicely]].
-* Space cleaner, in a spray bottle. It will clean the goo left behind from the acid.
-* Various chemicals to mutate or treat your plants with.
-* A dropper. So you can mutate plants more precisely.
-===So Harsh, Bro===
-People like to break into hydro and steal your spray bottles, because they can fill them with <del>water</del> polyacid. I suggest to take all the bottles inside a safe enough spot in hydro, or actually stay in the hydroponics bay. You can also hand them out like candy. It's not like you need all of them.
-=== Chemicals ===
-BEG the chemist to make you stuff, namely useful ammonia or unstable mutagen. If chemistry is helpful they can also give you a dropper for more precise mutations.
-Different chemicals do different things to your plants when injected. Please, experiment until you find a blend you like!
-Most of your crops can be blended down into chemical themselves. Keep this in mind.
-An alternative to chemicals is a floral somatoray. You can get it from the scientists unless they and/or the shaft miners are being lazy fucks (which is always). It is a gun that shoots mutation rays that either increases yield or tries to change the plant's stats. ([[Guide to hydroponics]]).
-===Dirt===
-If you happen to come across a [[Shaft Miner]] that hasn't taken a hardsuit and gone off to explore space, then you're half way there. Get some sand, use it to make sandstone, then take three sandstone to make dirt.
-Another method is the grow grass in your existing hydroponics trays, then plant the grass tiles and dig them up with the spade found in the back room! This will dig up some sand.
-Congratulations, you are no longer restricted to tiny water tubs for growing now. Be warned though, it is not the most efficient method of planting, as there are no lights to indicate needs for water, fertilizer, etc. Have fun surrounding theatre with bananas and watching the clown collapse in sheer joy.
-==Little Shop of Horrors==
+Different chemicals do different things to your plants when injected. Experiment until you find a blend you like!
-As a traitor, if you are lucky and fast you have access to so many horrifying things: death nettles that are as strong as e-swords and automatically disintegrate, plants that slip people, multiple robust poisons, koibeans to grind for free parapen juice, and so much more! If you have an easy objective, quickly rush out and get it out of the way, head back and get your plants growing. Your leather gloves give no prints onto a crime scene, so if you ditch your equipment (or hide it) you should be fine enough so no one knows it was you. You can also intoxicate some food if you get your hands on a [[Dropper|dropper]] -- just hope whoever you want to die eats it.
-==An Average Round as a Botanist==
+Most of your crops can be blended down into chemicals themselves. You can also put these crops directly into hydroponics trays if dosage specificity isn't an issue.
