Photosynthesis + Current Plants

[Norton]

1) Photosynthesis

Are there any plans to add plants that can photosynthesize, as in take in Carbon dioxide + water = Oxygen + glucose (CO2 + H2O = O2 + C6H12O6). You could use a floor/ceiling lamp as a substitute for the light required. This would be a viable replacement to the algae habitat and would only need CO2 and water, meaning you could turther conserve your supply of algae.

2) Current Plants

Do current plants consume / produce any gases and what conditions are needed to grow the plants.

So what I've noticed about current plants is: natural spawned plants seem to produce oxygen like the algae plants. But when you put them in planters they apparently don't.

They should act like air scrubbers but at a slower rate imo. If they currently do that, the tooltip doesn't say it does and I haven't seen any visual indicators that they do either.

EDIT: Even natural spawned plants don't create oxygen. Hopefully this changes.

I only see the point in sugar making if there's a mechanic were plants die without enough sugar reserves.

Meallice isn't a plant, it's a creature that you harvest then turn into a bar for food. If you zoom in close you can see them moving around.

My issue is keeping them cool enough to actually grow. I tried useing the fan, and even placed them directly on the -273 degree C (absolute 0) but they were still too hot. Any confirmed strategies to cool them off??
