🚧 Development Status

(Heavy WiP) Ported over from ASE Mod, lots of kinks to work out still.
✅ Now in a decent place, but everything is still subject to change.

Grow your own Alien Plants.
Harvest your own Alien Plants.
Get that Alien feeling—from your own Alien Plants.

📦 Spawn Codes

🛠️ Roadmap

  • Bug fixes
  • Recreate destruction mesh
  • Optimize spawn system
  • Reduce mod size (original assets bloated it a bit)
  • Update materials for all assets
  • Add foundation to drying hut (smoke box cut)
  • Grow lights
  • Different strains and buffs
  • Breeding and mutation system

Add GUI for configuring all aspects of mod
Add configurable effect to help admins find wild plants
Update Alien plant flow to be more immersive

🌿 What's Next?

When KP and I asked ourselves this, here’s what we’re most excited about:

🔧 Config File Expansion

Expose more settings for server admins:

  • Total plant spawns
  • Hair/gravity/bubble effects
  • Station-specific fuel and build timers
  • Stat modifiers (e.g. weight buff, AOE contact highs)

💡 Grow Lights

Designing indoor/outdoor grow lamps—from desk plants to full-scale farms.

🚜 Mass Farming

Grow strips with organized seeding, watering, and harvesting.
One-click management for large-scale operations—ideal for 420 plants and beyond.

🌎 Biome-Specific Strains

New species with unique effects tied to biomes:

  • Swampy strains for swamps
  • Rare alpine strains for icy peaks
  • Breedable hybrids with unique buffs

We’re dreaming big—this part’s still conceptual, but we love talking about it.

🌟 Final Thoughts

Boom shakalaka—we’re almost there. Just a bit more polish and we’ll call it v1.
To our early supporters: thank you. Your feedback helped shape this.

  • 3D models? Looking slick.
  • Plants? Drippy purple and green.
  • Materials? Balanced.
  • Spawn system? 420 randomized plants on any map—including custom ones.

Stay lit, stay kind.
— Ugh & Crew
