Plant Mutations

Currently there are 6 different mutations in the plant system. A mutation is not a type of plant, as any type of plant can be a mutant.
A mutant is based on color.

The 6 colors of Mutations are: White, Black, Pink, Aqua, Magenta, Fire Red.

Mutations will never produce seeds, resources or pollen. The reproduction menu will display a large X for seeds, resources, and pollen.

 

White	Black

There is a .05% chance of getting a black/white mutant with each cross pollination. A black/white mutant can be any type of plant. To get a mutant you have to cross pollinate your plants. Self-pollinated plants will never produce a mutant. A mutant plant will grow to the decorative mode on day 10 like any other plant. There is no reason for keeping a mutant vibrant because it cannot be used for anything but decoration.

 

Naturalist Quest Mutants

 

Pink	Aqua	Magenta	Fire Red

 

The fire red seed is a special reward given to those who discover the secret 5th solen egg nest.

 

To get a fire red seed:
1. Complete the study on the 4 solen nests.
2. Plant a green thorn in sand on Felucca or Trammel facets only (Resource from bright green barrel cactus or bright green snake plants).
3. Jump in the hole that opens. This leads to the 5th secret solen egg nest. The hole only stays open for a short time.
4. Return to the Naturalist to receive your fire seed.

 

Each of the 4 colored seeds generate a random plant type, from the 17 current plants, when grown. These plants produce no seeds, resources, or pollen.
