User:Studenterhue/Botany Reagents Table

A table for Guide to Botany that will explain what various reagents do to plants.

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.

Like its name suggests, it scrambles plant stats and sometimes causes new genes and mutations.

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.

While in tray:

Reagent	Source	Growth	Health	Mat. Rate	Prod. Rate	Lfspn.	Yld.	Potency	Endurance	Dmg. (Type)	Notes & Additional Effects
Phosphorus	Chem Dispenser	66% chance of +1	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Slightly boosts plant growth speed, not as good as other chems though.
Ammonia	Ammonia Plant Formula	+4	66% chance of +1	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Removes 4 units of chems from tray every few seconds. Specifically it removes a bit from each different, but the general ratio of chems will be preserved, and it can't remove all of a certain chem. End-all-be-all for accelerating growth speed.
Diethylamine	Ammonia Plant Formula + Ethanol + Heat	66% chance of +2	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Midtier plant growth speed booster.

Ash	Heat up paper or oil in a beaker or similar container.	80% chance of +1	80% chance of +1	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Passable for healing plants and speeding up growth, but there're definitely better options.
Compost	Compost Bag	-	66% chance of +1	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	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	-	-	-	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	-	-	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 or extract from Space Fungus.	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	50% chance of +1	-	Probably your best choice for boosting Endurance to get specific mutations or make plants more robust.
Water	Sink, water tank	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	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	-	Attempts to restore plant stats to 0 if they're negative, but inhibits growth.

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	Extract from Burning Commol or 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 or notes.	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	1 POISON	Unsurprisingly, napalm is bad for plants, though you might be surprised it poisons them rather than burns them.

• 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.
