Transfer Botany to research
Botanists nowadays don't grow food for the chef anymore, and focus on making high-tech plants like glowshrooms, ambrosia, bluespace tomatoes or stuff like that.
They're starting to have more in common with the research sector than the service sector, and given their connection to RnD ( they're the only department aside from medbay that can be upgraded, and plants can give high tech levels) they might benefit from both RD supervision and closer ties to other science departments.
To keep the chef supplied, something like the garden could be in place of current botany, where the chef or a new garderer role could grow food seeds without being sidetracked.

Re: Transfer Botany to research
just walk out of science and go five feet to the left you don't need to be able to yell at them from RnD like an armchair general

Re: Transfer Botany to research
Or you remove unstable mutagen reaction on plants and make it a random chance on harvests
Pros
plants getting harvested
Mutation chance without getting unstable
No easy dna manipulator memes
Cons
SALT
RNG

Re: Transfer Botany to research
Ezel that literally already exists.
It's called left 4 zed.
Also after using that to get the right plants, botany can manufacture their own mutagen.
@XDTM: Every department can be upgraded by R&D to some extent (botany doesn't even benefit that much, if at all, thanks to gaia), so what are you talking about?

Before Gaia the RnD upgrades were basically the same thing as it. The biogenerator upgrades are stupidly good too.lumipharon wrote:@XDTM: Every department can be upgraded by R&D to some extent (botany doesn't even benefit that much, if at all, thanks to gaia), so what are you talking about?
The most excessive signature on /tg/station13.
Still not even at the limit after 8 fucking years.
The evil holoparasite user I can't believe its not DIO and his holoparasite I can't believe its not Skub have been defeated by the Spacedust Crusaders, but what has been taken from the station can never be returned.

Re: Transfer Botany to research
Alternatively you could split it between Botany and Xenobotany. I think bay does it like this.

Doesn't R&D have enough going for it to add Botany to it's ever-growing grasp?

Re: Transfer Botany to research
I actually rather like this idea. Maybe keep the name for the guys next to the chef as hydroponics and gardeners, but call the new science one botany and botanists.
We should also definitely have tie-ins with the other departments with this, though. It'd be nice to see earthsblood and other botany-plant-specific chems be usable in xenobio or chemistry or wherever.

Apparently I was an director or something.
