5:45 every chefs and botanists reaction when the cow gets loose

5:42 the real botany experience.

Fun fact: you can grow almost any crop that grinds into a valuable material and cross-pollenate it with eggs. This allows the person to just pick up an egg and crack it into the beaker instead of grinding. It's so much easier. Now we wait for the ability to add genes to modify color of crops...

Fun fact: This video was published the day after the Lizard server of WizDen had such a severe kudzu outbreak that the entire station was covered before 20 minutes had passed. Only time I’ve seen kudzu be the sole reason for a shuttle call.

A note about swabbing: it is a probabilistic process. The swab always grabs the properties of the last plant it has swabbed, and the carries the properties to the next swab, but it probabilistically transfers them. You have basically a 50/50 chance to transfer the chems, same for yield and other properties but they actually randomly take from a range. A good strategy is to plant a row of donor and a row of target plants, and go down the line and swab between them. This way every swab is clean and you can use one swab. Then watch them grow and pick the one with the good properties (fastest growth, proper chems). Also, egg-plants can take chems like flour and then you can just crack them in a bucket and make loads of flour!

One time in botany we were growing glowing apples, after awhile we had like 100 in a crate. whenever we opened the crate it was a flashbang that literally lit up all the hallways and dropped everyone's frames by 30 while causing really weird shader bugs lol.

Possibly the most powerful syndicate role. No responsibilities so you can do what you want, free weapons (scythe and hatchet), unlimited poisons and medicine, AND dangerous mutations to "accidentally" unleash

A 15 minute video about botany, epic

Finally. Hopefully this will get newbies to use clippers and mutations. Weeds suck up slightly more water and severely limit growth speed. Something uncovered is that the Weed light can also indicate bad air, and further or even stop growing. I recommend growing some galaxy thistle, aloe and poppies for Chem, so they would be more willing to give out mutagen. Fruit juices can be used in a pinch if you run out of nutrition, and plants can be composted back into trays if you really need nutrition for them. I heavy advice new botanists to grind up produce to investigate what they yield, even peels can have interesting things in them.

You say botany is a chill job, but my first time trying to learn, I came across the sweatiest service worker trying to run the kitchen, botany and the bar all at once. Me and this other guy were chastised several times for trying to learn. Be carful on leviathan

I've never dared myself to play botany, I mean it's simple, but if you go deeper it gets too complicated for me. This helped me understand more! Thanks lilten!

I never laughed more during an introduction. First the cow's charge, then the screaming wood-hard wheat.

There are a few mutations that aren't listed in places such as self harvesting. I was mutating with another one time and we made several pineapple(I think) plants that self harvested and by the end of evac there were 500 laying on the floor due to their growing time being so fast.

The fact that not even you know what the weeds do you just think its annoying too is incredibly hilarious

I remember using Botany as my preferred role when I was learning the game and when introducing new players on SS13. If you're just gonna do the normal thing it's a pretty easy role with no pressure, especially if you have a more experienced player with you. On the other hand once you're more used to the game you can branch off (pun intended) in all sorts of directions. Farm increasingly useful crops, making you very popular with many different department. Be a real mad scientist and produce some of the wackiest stuff in the game including plant people. Or you could just produce a ton of drugs ranging from mildly intoxicating to almost instant death by blissful overdose. Hope SS14's Botany is like that.

About weeds in hydroponics. If you add some mutagens in hydroponic with plant and weed, there is chance that you can crate kudzu. Also, if you want to crate kudzu asap, use left-4-zeat.

As a real life botanist this guide helped tremendously. I was so stressed over my job but I never realized it isn't essential or important! I told my boss that I'm far too busy talking to the chef and relaxing to work on the plants and he should just order a pizza instead. Anyway, I was fired but I think that was because that traitorous syndicate was disgruntled that I knocked him out.

this mutation thing is interresting, it did make complete sense on how you explained its just up to trail and error to get to desired result from your batch of crops and combine swaps with other favorable crops in order to get even more insane yields and results. Thnx for the explanation.

botany regular here (Kadeo Ketoni) swabbing is weird, I recommend using at least 3 swabs on a plant (swabbing once then getting a new swab), as this guarantees a cross pollenation from my experience. Also, remember to cross cocoa onto gatfruits for fast growing and 6 yield.

Botany is the perfect zen gameplay experience. You just do you thing, grow plants, enjoy life. Occasionally, you poison half the crew. You know, the usual.

Yesterday i did an in depth play with botany for the first time by following the russian guide on steam( i used google translate) and i managed to crosspollinate a nettle with a fly amanita and made a 2 hit to crit nettle that deals heat and amatoxin poison damage, some steam guides in russian are great, they also have some paper work examples on their wiki, and i love to do forms (used to do them all the time in ss13,cant wait someone adds fill in option on forms and logos formatting) , btw great video!

this is a great video but... have anyone seen the cow?

I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. Gotta have some fun in botany.

Wow I never even tried mutations on my one botany run so now I want to try another just for that.

I'm thinking about it now. It would be interesting if kudzu could also mutate on its own or in contact with certain liquids. That would be a real problem then.

I got bwoinked once playing hos growing gatfruit in perma. They only grow one type of weapon.

Smoke wheat everyday

I actually watch all your videos because I want to have some great experience on all roles in ss14 leviathan server. They are great though, keep up the good work man

Actually, there is ONE thing that CAN happen when you use unstable mutagen carelessly and that botany can accidently mutate weeds, causing Kidzus to grow. Kidzu, for those not aware, are wild vines that can damage players over time because of their thorns. This is really, REALLY bad! Depending on the servers, they can be the least threatening thing on the station or the WORSE. If left unchecked, it can take over the station and delay work for EVERYONE. I had shifts end so quickly because of how bad kidzus get out of control. So if the heads denies the use of unstable mutagen, this is why. The best thing to do is to seal up the kidzu until it's stops growing, then trim/burn them down. Wield the doors shut, check the mants, make sure it doesn't spread. For antags, this is the best way to cause a distraction, but even they are not safe from the wrath of kidzus.

Finally I have been waiting for this moment

Good job, lad

thanks, very helpful vid

Botany is great, but in my experience it's one of those jobs where the more botanists you have the less fun it is.

damn you just made me wanna play botany again

doing botany while playing as a diona, thats how you know botany is gonna be MVP's this round

weeds can smother your seed, sometimes it won't take, or will die slowly, if you allow weeds to develop, fungi can appear.

NewliltenvideoWOOOO

i've found using 5 fresh swabs is the best to bring genes from one plant onto another

Finally.

Man thank you botany has so little information to start do advanced stuff also what is purpose of L4Z?

What about kudzu from mutagen? Really good for syndicate botanist

What about golding trays? How does that work and what does it do?

Can't wait till we get job specific traitor items. Must grow man eater plants!

Dang Bot's changed a lot since I last played, last I played Weed didnt even get you high yet

OH MY GOD THE COW

I kinda don't like swab will also have chance to override the cham of the plant that get swabed, i would like it to just make a crossbreed version that have both cham inside of it.

That poor cow

First time I've got into botany, chem asked me can I do an omnesine. How to get it?

Some plants can be used to make chemicals, clothing or simply alcohol.

How do I find where to go on the map for this role? I pick a role, but never know how to get to the place for the job!

Just makes me wanna dump 50 units of mutage into a botany pitcher

nice, i can finally learn how to actually grow something other than weed!

General tip from 13 that's still applicable: don't cross bananas and watermelons

So what happens if you cross pollinate a gatfruit tree?

Cow: Im about to ruin this mans video

One of the best jobs, making a cannabis empire

I once at bananas Botany made, never will I take anything from them again

oh, so botany can be the virologist for plants basically lol

Guide to methnanas [chem not needed] Step one: plant ambrosisus vulgaris and banana Step two: swab ambrosius onto banana (throw away swab and do it like 3 more times with new swabs) Step three: add 15u robust harvest Boom, methnana. Remember to tell people to only eat one, or they will Overdose and take poison damage.

Botany 🤓🌱

The opening is wrong, botany is arguably the most important job on the station as they can make marijuana and methapples.

It'd be cool to organise your videos in the playlist so that the difficulty increases. It's sad that you didn't mention the seed extractor in a basic gameplay loop, - plant the seed (or fruit) - water it - watch it grow - harvest - replant (if necessary) - save a fruit/seed in the seed extractor to see the stat evolution - pick up with the plant bag - place in the fridge or on the table. - start again.
