Object description

Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

Jellystem is a plant which grows naturally on Gleba. It is the primary source of jellynut.

Jellystems can only grow in the red biome of Gleba. They can be cultivated by planting jellynut seeds, either by hand or by an agricultural tower. They can only be planted on naturally fertile jellynut soil, artificial jellynut soil or overgrowth jellynut soil. The latter two are tiles that can be placed, but only on top of certain kinds of tiles in the red biome.

Jellystems can be harvested by hand or by an agricultural tower. The amount of jellynuts which can be gained per harvest is equal to half of its current growth percentage. Since it takes 300 seconds (5 minutes) to fully grow, each plant produces an average of 0.1667 jellynut per second. A biochamber with no modules can process 2 jellynuts per second, meaning each biochamber can fully process 12 jellystems.

Harvesting the plant produces 15 spores. If the plant is destroyed (either by shooting it or by running it over with a car or tank) then it will not generate spores.

Trivia

• During development, Gleba was intended to have many plants which were harvested directly into items. A code comment in the entity definition for the Jellystem indicates it was originally designed as a source or component of science.
