Based loosely on MITO by hellochar but using my game engine.

Tiles:

  • Dirt        “Basic block, can hold water, Contains Nutrients”
  • Tissue        “Base class of all plant materials. Can move bits around.”
  • Root        “Each function moves 1 water into tissue blocks at a rate of efficency” When grown, converts a dirt block into Nutrients.
  • Leaf        “Consumes water to create Sugar at a rate of sunlight”
  • Tuber        “Turn 10 sugar into 1 starch”
  • Stroma        “Stores large amounts of starch and turns it into energy. Spreading it far.”
  • Fruit        “Must be filled with 100x Nutrients to be considered a Seed”
  • Stone        “Unbreakable”
  • Water        “Creates water at a rate of 1 per tick.”

Bits:

  • Water
  • Sugar        “Can be consumed for energy”
  • Nutrients used for fruits
  • Starch <-> 10 Sugar

Next season, using a Viability metric, x seeds are lost, and rest may be used to spend on upgrade points.
