Flowers

[Admiral Ikhlas Jr]

Why are only vegetables farmable? Hmmm?
Flowers should be as well. Maybe a new farm for it?
I have had flowers be pickable, in the early days. I would say I know of 2 for sure. Possibly more, but very few beyond 2. But 2 for sure. SO, instead of searching the surface for a very rare, if not the rarest resource, let us farm them. Why not?

I think both the vegie and flowers you pick up from crates are effectively 'seeds'. the product of those seeds is eddible vegies that can be used in other things, while the flowers are just that, flowers, and it's the seeds you need to craft other things, thus the original producer of said flowers.

If you are talking about Plant Orema and Plant Volnus, the ones you can find out in the world in the Flora stage, you can farm both of those infinitely in the late-game

Only in the portals now. Unless you're using the tree seed method, which is enormously helpful.

I think it would be cool to be able to craft new flowers with DNA manipulation. I've been asking the devs for new flowers for a while now. We only had 4, plus the 3 rares that you could only get a few of in early game in the wild. (or occasionally in a chest with the golden seed) Now the devs have put those in safes and chests in the portal wrecks, which is a definite plus. (thanks devs) :)

If however, the devs don't plan actual new flower seeds in the future, how much fun would it be to make our own? Much as we do mammals now, we could put various flower genetic traits into the manipulator and make different shapes, colors and sizes of flora. That would really make our worlds unique and colorful.

Flowers, yes! And now that we can extract chromosomes, it would make sense to be able to expand on the species we're creating - why NOT more flowers and such as well as mammals? Talk about a major bit of awesome that would be, yes? :-D
