Flora

This article is about Flora. You may be looking for Seeds or Fauna.

Read at own risk This article contains unmarked spoilers. Players new to the game would want to avoid or be cautious toward this article.

The plant and plant-like life found on Planet 4546B vary greatly in size and appearance, from the bright Acid Mushrooms to the mysterious Giant Cove Tree. Flora can be found all over the planet, except for the Lava Lakes (due to its extreme temperatures) and the Crater Edge. The only exception to this is the dead plants found at the bottom of the dead zone. They are immobile life forms, staying anchored in one place unless manipulated via the Repulsion Cannon, Propulsion Cannon, knife, or some other methods. 

Although most Flora is passive, certain exceptions can act as hazards to the player, dealing damage to them on contact or within a certain radius. For example, the Acid Mushroom will release a cloud of acid when struck, damaging the player, and the Tiger Plant will shoot thorns at the player. Most Flora can be harvested, picked, or farmed whilst some Flora also serves as a Food & Water source as well as a source of energy when used in a bioreactor.

Some Fauna, such as the Floater or the Amoeboid might act like flora, and due to common misconceptions, are mistaken for flora, but are just parasites.
