On uprooting: × 1
Base bonus seed chance: 10%

Duplicant farming skill can increase the bonus seed chance.

Mutation effects

Spaced Out!

Plants with this mutation are easier to take care of, but don't yield as much produce.

Minimum radiation: +250rads/cycle
Temperature-window width: +50%
Harvest amount: -25%
Irrigation and fertilizer use: -50%

Effects change the unmutated plant. Growth figures above are the unmutated baseline.
