Agrichemistry V1

explain stats tracked by tables: 
-POISON, FIRE, RAD, ACID: damage "types", damage formula goes: check if plant has gene to resist RAD and POISON, check for genes that affect damage from lack of water, check if it has gene to reduce damage in general, consider endurance, subtract from plant health
--will possibly go under one column if there's not enough, probably room for each time, better that way probably for sortability
--need to explain damage? 
-GROWTH: Growth is how many 'growth points' the plant has. More growth points = more grown up plant is. Different plants have different growth max?
-ENDURANCE: Endurance
-CROPSIZE: Yield
-HARVESTS: Lifespan
-GROWTIME: Maturation Rate
-HARVTIME: Production Rate
-POTENCY: Potency
-HEALTH: kinda self-explanatory--will need to give some sort of base health people know what a +1 HEALTH means (don't know if different plant species have different health actually)

While in tray:

Reagent Source Growth Health Mat. rate Prod. rate Lifespan Yield Potency Endurance Damage Damage Type Notes & Additional Effects
Phosphorus Chem Dispenser 66% chance of +1 - - - - - - - - N/A Slightly boosts plant growth speed, not as good as other chems though.
Ammonia Ammonia Plant Formula +4 66% chance of +1 - - - - - - - N/A Removes 4 units of chems from tray every few seconds. Every chem gets some reagents removed, but specific amount based on combined volume of all reagents in the tray; higher means less reagents removed. End-all-be-all for accelerating growth speed.
Diethylamine Ammonia Plant Formula + Ethanol + Heat 66% chance of +2 - - - - - - - - N/A Midtier plant growth speed booster.
Potassium Chem Dispenser 40% chance of +1 40% chance of +1 - - - - - - - N/A Low-tier growth speed and health booster.
Ash Heat up paper or oil in a beaker or similar container. 80% chance of +1 80% chance of +1 - - - - - - - N/A Passable for healing plants and speeding up growth, but there're definitely better options.
Compost Compost Bag - 66% chance of +1 - - - - - - - N/A Okay at restoring plant health, but ammonia offers same benefits and more. But it's pretty common.
Potash Potash Plant Formula 50% chance of +1 50% chance of +1 - - If > 1, 24% chance of -1 24% chance of +1 - - - N/A If plant dies after one harvest, separate 66% chance of -2 GROWTH if GROWTH > 2. More crops per harvest, but plant doesn't live as long.
Saltpetre Saltpetre Plant Formula 80% chance of +3 80% chance of +3 - - - If >1, 24% chance of -1 50% chance of +1 - - N/A Gives crops bigger volume of chems, but you get less crops per harvest. Also surprisingly good at healing plants and making them grow faster.
Space Fungus Use a beaker or similar on fungus stains in maintenance. - - - - - - - 50% chance of +1 - N/A Probably your best choice for boosting Endurance to get specific mutations or make plants more robust.
Water Sink, water tank - - - - - - - - - N/A Essential for plant growth to occur at all.
Mutadone Mutadone Plant Formula If >5, 80% chance of -5 GROWTH - If <0, 50% chance of +1 If <0, 50% chance of +1 If <0, 50% chance of +1 If <0, 50% chance of +1 If <0, 50% chance of +1 If <0, 50% chance of +1 - N/A Attempts to restore plant stats to 0 if they're negative, but inhibits growth.
Charcoal Extract from venne, ask Medbay for some. - - - - - - - - - N/A Removes 2 units of these harmful chemicals: chlorine, mercury, plasma, radium, sulfuric acid,toxin, toxic slurry, welding fuel
Blood Ask Medbay for some, stab yourself and scoop up blood with beaker or similar. +3 - - - - - - - - N/A Growth speed boost occurs only if plant is man-eater
Radium Chem Dispenser - - 16% chance of -10 – +10 16% chance of -10 – +10 16% chance of -1 – +1 16% chance of -2 – +2 16% chance of -5 – +5 16% chance of -3 – +3 80% chance of +3 RAD 16% chance to attempt to give plant new gene and transform plant into a mutation. Damage does not occur if plant has Radiation Immunity gene. Radioactive stuff hurts plant growth and randomizes plant stats, naturally.
Uranium NPC merchants. - - 24% chance of -10 – +10 24% chance of -10 – +10 24% chance of -1 – +1 24% chance of -2 – +2 24% chance of -5 – +5 24% chance of -3 – +3 +2 RAD 24% chance to attempt to give plant new gene and transform plant into a mutation. Damage does not occur if plant has Radiation Immunity gene. It makes sense an radioactive element would scramble plant stats and sometimes induce new genes and mutations.

Damage does not occur if plant has Radiation Immunity gene. This radioactive substance is a little better than other elements at scrambling plant stats and causing genes and mutations, but causes more damage.

Unstable mutagen is better in almost every way.
Unstable Mutagen Mutagenic Plant Formula If >1, 40% chance of -1 - 24% chance of -10 – +10 24% chance of -10 – +10 24% chance of -1 – +1 24% chance of -2 – +2 24% chance of -5 – +5 24% chance of -3 – +3 - N/A 24% chance to attempt to give plant new gene and transform plant into a mutation. Like its name suggests, it scrambles plant stats and sometimes causes new genes and mutations.
Glowing Slurry Extract from omega slurrypods. -2 – -1 - -10 – +10 -10 – +10 -1 – +1 -2 – +2 -5 – +5 -3 – +3 - N/A Attempt to give plant new gene and transform plant into a mutation. Arguably best of its kind for randomizing plant stats and inducing genes and mutations, with a relatively low growth penalty.
Atrazine Weedkiller bottles -3 - - - - - - - +2 POISON Damages plant and inhibits growth only if plant is a weed and does not have Toxin Immunity.
Plasma Chem Dispenser - - - - - - - - 2 POISON Turns out plasma hurts plants, for the most part. No damage if plant has Toxin Immunity gene.
Acetaldehyde See Chemicals page. - - - - - - - - 4 POISON This chemical precursor hurts the plant if it does not have Toxin Immunity gene.

Miasma See Chemicals page - - - - - - - - 1 POISON Miasma is harmful for both plants and people. No damage if plant has Toxin Immunity gene.
Acetic Acid See Chemicals page - - - - - - - - 1 ACID It's a weak acid, but it still hurts plants.
Fluorosulfuric Acid See Chemicals page -5 - - - - - - - 10 ACID As with people and items, this nasty acid wrecks plant health and severely stunts growth. Did you expect anything else?
Sulfuric Acid See Chemicals page -3 - - - - - - - 5 ACID Not as bad as its fluoro- version, but still hurts plant health and slows growth.
Phlogiston See Chemicals page -12 - - - - - - - 8 FIRE To nobody's surprise, adding phlogiston destroys most plants and acutely stunts growth.
Phlogiston Dust See Chemicals page -12 - - - - - - - 8 FIRE Just like regular phlogiston, the dust form hurts plant health and growth.
Napalm Goo See Chemicals page - - - - - - - - 1 POISON Unsurprisingly, napalm is bad for plants, though you might be surprised it poisons them rather than burns them. No damage if plant has Toxin Immunity gene.
Welding Fuel Get from handheld fuel tanks and big tanks. - - - - - - - - 1 POISON Damages plant if it does not has Toxin Immunity gene.
Chlorine Chem Dispenser - - - - - - - - 3 POISON Hurts people, hurts plants too, if plant lacks Toxin Immunity gene.

  • Phosphorus - Phosphorus slightly accelerates plant growth, though not nearly as much as ammonia does.
  • Potassium - Adding potassium boosts plant health somewhat and makes it grow a little bit faster.
  • Ash - Ash slightly boosts both plant health and growth.
  • Diethylamine - Diethylamine helps plants grow faster, more than phosphorus but still less than ammonia.
  • Space Fungus - Fungus makes the plant extra hardy & more resistant to the aforementioned poisons. Many plant mutations also involve reaching certain levels of endurance.
  • Glowing Slurry - Glowing slurry slows down plant growth slightly and immediately induces a mutation. Surprisingly, this doesn't damage plant health very much.
  • Stable Mutagen - On plants, it's less likely to cause mutation than unstable mutagen but is more likely to dampen plant growth.
  • Radium - Radium can cause a plant to mutate, but, unsurprisingly, irradiates it, damaging the plant.
  • Uranium & Polonium - For hopefully obvious reasons, these radioactive substances damage plant health and have a fairly high chance of inducing mutations.
  • Fluorosulfuric Acid - As with people and items, this nasty acid wrecks plant health and severely stunts growth. Did you expect anything else?
  • Sulfuric Acid & Hydrochloric Acid - These acids also hurt plant health and slow growth, though not as much as fluorosulfuric acid.
  • Phlogiston & Phlogiston Dust - To nobody's surprise, adding phlogiston destroys most plants and acutely stunts growth.
  • Acetaldehyde, Acetic Acid, Chlorine, Fluorine, Formaldehyde, Mercury, Napalm, Plasma, Toxin, Welding Fuel - Unsurprisingly, all these chems poison the plant, decreasing its health. Formaldehyde, chlorine, and fluorine are the worst among them.
  • Charcoal - Charcoal gradually removes any harmful chemicals in the plant tray.
