Vgstation13: Vox Seeds doesn't have the normal seed selection

Space is very limited in the Vox Botanical Gardens right now, so I can't afford to put two machines in there. I trusted you to not fuck up @Kurfursten

It's intended. Vox Plants provide wood, sugar, nutriment, and flour -- plus eggs and no-fruit if you hack the machine. Vox can even "research" new seeds by playing the no-fruit lotto and converting those plants into new seeds. You can even do mutations with the glowshrooms!

Giving them a bunch of human seeds for plants that just provide nutriment in a different-looking package (apples, oranges, eggplants, etc etc etc) takes away what makes them alien and foreign - especially when it's such a cosmetic/flavor thing.

Now, there is room to grow for the future. It is well-known from the last discussion issue that I'm working on Vox livestock, but that's not all. I have some more alien plants in the pipe to fill the niches that Vox don't have plants for (a slippery plant - banana equiv, a plant that can be used as a weapon - nettle equiv, a plant used for healing injuries - poppy equiv). So don't worry - it won't be four forever. That's just as many sprites as I thought I could reasonably beg off our spriters.

Intended.
Also 1600 open issues

Yes, that was intended, as Kurfurst made very clear
The point was to encourage trade between the station and the outpost, but the vox seeds include everything necessary for a pretty good food selection anyway

Maybe a few innocuous seeds?

Well then, I'll keep this open if Trader players want to give some extra input

Since you've all been such good sports, how about a sneak peak?

I like the way you're doing this.

For those who haven't seen it, relevant expansion is going on in #10601

It's sneak peek btw

In my defense I was very tired
