Plant Idea: Space Rose

[Dagdammit]

As budding botanist, I hoped for a while that there'd be a plant that served as an easy delivery system for chemical reagents- I did experiments like replacing nettles' acid production with omnizine production, to see if they could be used to heal people.

I'm not saying botany should HAVE an easy chem delivery system, mind you. But I had an idea for a more roundabout one?

What about a rose? Like nettles, the rose's thorns prick anyone who handles it without botany gloves, which injects any reagents the rose has been spliced to produce. (The rose could wilt after this happens X times, perhaps Yield/2) The rose could be the same color as a beaker of said chems, and have some enticing description like "A space rose! They're rare treasures. Its petals glow with a gentle light."

To give them a more legitimate function: Say that using a rose is an interruptable 2-second action, that gives a zippo lighter-esque notice that "playername takes a moment to stop and smell the rose. They look refreshed!" This could leave them "feeling vigorous" for a minute, and maybe heal a bit of damage to senses and/or brain damage. Further, using wirecutters on the rose trims the thorns.

Basically traitor botanist gets to try and trick their target, Sleeping Beauty style.

I mean, being a chem deliverer is already a legitimate function. Plenty of beneficent chems out there.

Let's say a desirable function beyond being chem delivery then. Though I suppose you could just give it beneficial chems by default.

Make it happen.
Time to hand out roses to ALL the lizard ladies.

For how to get it: could be a mutation of poppies, of geraniums/lilies, or of a weed like harebells or starthistle. Personally, I'd vote starthistle.

Also, another name could be "Rose of Gaia"

Growable hyposprays! I would give one to the clown to replace his water flower!

Should equip in mouth slot for flamenco

Codewise this'd be pretty easy, but you'd have to deal with the Git Shit.

[Deitus]

i support this, though it will never get through github shitlers.

>someone made an actually original plant idea

[Drynwyn]

to be clear I was referring to the technical Git Shit. i think you judge the maintainers unfairly, they'd be alright with this.

[Dagdammit]

Can someone point me to the plant code's directory in github? I might try to at least pseudocode this for someone to implement.

remember to clip the plant before you flamenco
that could end badly for you.
