Little is known of podmen, aside from the fact that they are a known side effect of replica pods. Miners however may find them stranded on lavaland at times where they claim to be engineered by an advanced alien race 5000 years ago.
Roleplay
A podman is usually a former Human, or a a Lizardperson/Plasmaman, who was cloned via a yet mysterious method of plant growth. As such a podman maintains all the traits and personality of its cloned host.
Gameplay
Podmen are a non-selectable alien race. Players may become a Podman if they are cloned from a replica pod, or through Xenobiology, as with other races.
They have the unique ability of regenerating nutrition and health so long as they are near a light source, but they also start to starve quickly in darkness. Gaining nutrition this way may give the overweight alert, but unless they eat more food it won't last enough to apply the slowdown effect. In addition certain crew members may show caution, fear or awe towards you, which may be a improvement if you were a Lizard or Plasma man. But hey, special snowflake healing!
If they're starving for too long they'll actually take damage, and they're vulnerable to anything that affects plants, such as Plant-B-Gone and Floral Somatorays. While the Somatoray's yield function will simply feed (or overfeed) them, the mutation function will burn and mutate, usually negatively, podpeople.
Podmen can, and will get brutalized by goats. Stay far, far away from Pete.
If you are a ghostspawned podperson on lavaland, you will have a plant-based name automatically given to you. You have no special obligations in your crashed botany pod other than to not break the rules. Your hydroponics however is fully upgraded and fully packed, grow whatever you like!
