N Faker: /* List of Research projects */

'''Research''' plays a vital role in fighting the {{Character|Mush}} menace, slowing their advance and making it more difficult for them to perform their actions. Eventually, as research grows more complex and advanced tools become available, a permanent Mush cure and [[Ending the Game#Eden|a distant Utopian world]] can even be discovered. Nothing is impossible for the resourceful crew for the Daedalus!

== Mechanics ==

The '''Research Lab''' terminal can be accessed in the [[Ship Equipment#Laboratory|Laboratory]]. It brings up options for fighting {{Character|Mush}}, granting the crew bonus {{Glory}} '''Glory''' and provides a number of useful commodities.

Research can be a [[Dirty]] affair, and since NERON will lock unclean personnel out of the research console, wearing the [[Inventory#Gear|Stainproof Apron]] when participating is recommended to avoid long treks to the shower.

Participating in research costs 2 {{AP}}, and the efficiency is increased for {{Skill|Biologist}} and {{Skill|Medic}} characters:

{| class="wikitable"
! Icon
! Description
! Efficiency
|-
| [[image:0.png]] || Neither {{Skill|Biologist}} nor {{Skill|Medic}} || Base efficiency
|-
| [[image:1.png]] || {{Skill|Biologist}} or {{Skill|Medic}} (i.e. only one) || Base efficiency + 4-6%
|-
| [[image:2.png]] || {{Skill|Biologist}} and {{Skill|Medic}} (i.e. both) || Base efficency + 8-12%
|}

A character's research efficiency drops with every participation, requiring [[Relaying]] to reset it.

The [[BIOS Terminal|BIOS]] affects research in that the '''Crew Lock''' can be set to '''Research''', limiting participation to {{Skill|Biologist}} and {{Skill|Medic}} characters, and '''CPU Priority''' can also be set to '''Research''', increasing efficiency by 1-1% or 1-2%:

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| 12-18% || +1-1%
|-

|}

Many research options have certain conditions that must be met before they become available, including the presence of certain [[Inventory|objects]] or [[Characters|characters]] in the Laboratory.
If these conditions are not met, the research option will not be visible, though any progress made on them is preserved.
The most important conditions for research are:
*Presence of a {{Item|Mush Sample}}, which can be replaced by decoding a [[Communications|Xyloph DB entry]]
*Presence of the {{Item|Mush Genome Disk}}, which can be obtained by decoding a [[Communications|Xyloph DB entry]]
*The presence of {{Character|Chun|long}}, which can be replaced by decoding a [[Communications|Xyloph DB entry]]
*The {{Character|Dead Mush}} (the place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus)

The {{Glory}} gained for certain research projects is immediately obtained by all living humans upon completion, and an additional {{Glory}} can be earned when [[Ending the Game|reaching Sol or Eden]].
{{Character|Chun}} earns an additional 4 {{Glory}} each time a research requiring her presence is completed.
{{Character|Finola}} earns an additional 3 {{Glory}} for all Mush-related research.

==List of Research projects==
There are a total of 23 possible researches. Except "NCC Contact Lenses" research which you must pick up {{Item|Schrödinger}} when you do the research, all the rest which require items just need to be put on the shelf. Some research projects require the presence of {{Character|Chun}} in the [[Laboratory]], or a ghost copy of her (which requires decoding Zhong Chun's Genome Codex at Xyloph DB).

==Pheromodem==
With this piece of research, humans can access and communicate in the {{Character|Mush}} channel. However, everybody's names are obfuscated and they appear as "mush" to each other. This does not apply to the {{Character|Mush}} themselves, who see everybody's real names.

When messages such as spores being placed appear in the channel, the names of the participates will show in a scrambled form, however the number of characters in the scrambled name matches up (including spaces), this includes previous communications that appear in the channel aswell.

Mutate

2014-03-23T23:46:22Z

N Faker:

[[Image: Action-mutate.gif|frame]] [[Image: Talk-mutate.gif|frame]]
[[Mutate]] is one of the [[Actions#Basic_Mush_Actions|basic mush actions]]: All Mush are able to perform this action for 3 {{AP}} from the start, and no skill slot is required for it.

However, this is '''not''' an action which should be used anywhere near the start of the game, as it is irreversible, and will '''reveal a player as {{Character|Mush}}''' to everyone. In fact, using it too early is a common beginner's mistake.

Upon mutating, the mush player will turn into a [[File:Berzerk.png]] '''Berserker''', making them '''drop all of their items and lose all of their active abilities''' except for moving, attacking and sabotaging (some passive abilities may remain effective). He will also be unable to pick up new items, or speak in the public channel.

The following message will be shown on the log: '''''Player''' curls up, clearly suffering. The crewmember's cries resonate throughout the room before ungodly bile spews from their mouth and melts their clothing... How horrific! '''Player''' has completely mutated!''

In turn, mutating will '''heal''' the player 4{{HP}}, and give a permanent [[File:Guardian.png]]'''Guardian''' [[status]], '''bonus to unarmed attacks, as well as some damage protection''', comparable to a player having {{Skill|Solid}} and wearing the {{Item|Plastenite Armor}} (possibility of "armor blocked damage" combat events).

When Mutate is used to engage in open battle, it is often as a last resort, and can quickly determine how the game will end.
With full {{AP}}, a mutated Mush can easily kill a healthy human player (unless hindered by {{Skill|Crazy Eye}} or {{Trait|Pacifist}} effects).

For better results, several Mush players can arrange a set time for mutating simultaneously as a pack. - Though even then, it is usually more effective to use [[Weapons]] first.

= Action Unavailable =

At times this action can be unavailable. The exact circumstances that cause this are still unknown.

Gardening

2014-02-27T19:01:02Z

N Faker: /* Actions */

In the depths of space, sustaining your crew can be difficult work. '''Gardening''' helps by providing a source of oxygen as well as delicious fruit.

While the novice gardener starts out with a set of {{Item|Banana Trees}}, proficient [[exploration]] of alien planets may eventually bloom the garden into a paradise of {{Item|Alien Fruit}}.

While starting out small, an ideal garden can yield 12-24 fruit and 12 {{O2}} every day.

== Location ==
Each ship starts with 2 mature {{Item|Banana Trees}} and 1 empty {{Item|HydroPot}} in the ''Hydroponic Garden'', as well as 2 empty Hydropots scattered throughout the ship's storage rooms. Plants and pots should be moved to the ''Laboratory'' so that gardeners can share the {{Item|Stainproof Apron}} with the lab crew to avoid getting {{Status|Dirty}}. Plants should only be moved back to the garden if the ship has completed a [[NERON Projects|NERON project]] which makes the garden advantageous.

Completing the ''Extra Hydropots'' project will add 3 additional Hydropots to the garden's shelf. Also, crewmembers with a {{Skill|Green Thumb}} will each receive 2 more pots, for a maximum of 12 when {{Character|Stephen}} copies this skill form {{Character|Ian}}.

== Plant Statuses ==
* [[Image:Plant_youngling.png]] '''Young''': This plant does not produce fruit or {{O2}} until it matures. It will mature in anywhere from 1-48 cycles depending on the plant type.
* [[Image:Plant_thirsty.png]] '''Thirsty''': This plant will only produce {{O2}}. If not watered, it will be dried out the next day. (No effect on young plants.)
* [[Image:Plant_dry.png]] '''Dried Out''': This plant will not produce fruit or {{O2}}. If not watered, it will be dead the next day.
* [[Image:Plant_diseased.png]] '''Diseased''': This plant will not produce fruit or {{O2}}. (No effect on young plants.)

A plant's thirst status changes on ''day change'' between Cycles 8 and 1: A watered plant with no statuses will change to [[Image:Plant_thirsty.png]] ''Thirsty'', a ''Thirsty'' plant will change to [[Image:Plant_dry.png]] ''Dried Out'', and a ''Dried Out'' plant will die. A plant may become diseased randomly at any cycle change. Each mature plant will produce a fruit and {{O2}} at the beginning of Cycle 1 provided that it is not ''Diseased'', ''Thirsty'' or ''Dried Out''. However, they do so ''after'' possible asphyxiation events ({{O2}} may go from 1 to whatever plants produce, but still people can die because it technically hit 0 first).

The charges shown on a [[Image:Plant_youngling.png]] ''Young'' plant indicate how many cycles it has gone through in that state. Without the {{Skill|Botanist}} skill, the charges can be used to estimate when a given plant will mature. ''Botanists'', however, can read '''plant properties''' which tell exactly when a young plant will mature.
A plant maturing on Cycle 1 will also bear a fruit/{{O2}} in the same cycle, as will the initial banana trees if the ship happens to start on D1C1.

== Actions ==
'''Plant''':
* '''Cost:''' 2 {{AP}} or 1 {{AP|Garden}}
* '''Requires:''' Empty {{Item|HydroPot}}
* '''Target:''' [[Inventory#Fruit|Fruit]]
* '''Effect:''' Creates a young plant of the same type as the fruit.

'''Water Plant:'''
* '''Cost:''' 1 {{AP}} or 1 {{AP|Garden}}
* '''Target:''' {{Item|HydroPot}} with plant
* '''Effect:''' Resets the plant's thirst status.
** Only one watering is needed, regardless of whether the plant is thirsty or dried out.

'''Treat Plant:'''
* '''Cost:''' 2 {{AP}} or 1 {{AP|Garden}}
* '''Target:''' {{Item|HydroPot}} with plant
* '''Effect:''' Cures a diseased plant.

'''Hybridize:'''
* '''Cost:''' 2 {{AP}} or 1 {{AP|Garden}}
* '''Requires:''' [[Inventory#Fruit|Fruit]] in inventory
* '''Target:''' {{Item|HydroPot}} with plant
* '''Effect:''' If the plant is in perfect condition (not thirsty, dried out or sick) and the user is not [[dirty]], the plant is replaced with a new young plant of the fruit's type. Otherwise, both the plant and fruit are destroyed.

== Notes & Tips ==
* When plants die, they leave an empty {{Item|HydroPot}} behind. When they're consumed by fire, however, the HydroPot breaks as well.

* Since ''Young'' plants do not produce fruit or {{O2}}, they do not need to be treated for [[Image:Plant_diseased.png]] disease until they mature. They also do not need to be watered when [[Image:Plant_thirsty.png]] ''Thirsty'', only when [[Image:Plant_dry.png]] ''Dried Out'', so every other day.

* Plants can become diseased at any cycle change throughout the day. Hence, they should always be checked during Cycle 8, if possible. It's often useful for the gardener to post in general chat early Cycle 8 to give an update on plant statuses - that all are clear or that assistance is needed.

* {{AP|Garden}} '''Gardening Points''' should be prioritized for the most {{AP}}-costly actions if possible. If you know you're going to need to graft a fruit during that day, save them for that. Use them on treating disease and planting new plants before using them on watering.

* Watering costs 1 {{AP}} for everyone. As a {{Skill|Botanist}}, encourage non-botanists frequenting the lab (like {{Character|Chun}}) to water plants for you earlier in the day, in order to avoid stressful situations in Cycle 8, and save your {{AP|Garden}} if there happens to be nothing more demanding to do. Especially if you are a {{Skill|Biologist}} who also gets better research value for his {{AP}} than them.

* In the very late game, it is recommended that trusted crew-members hold plants in their inventory on cycle changes. Plants in the inventory can never burn in a fire.

* Blackmagick has stated in the French forum that {{Item|Post-Its}} do not actually help to reduce the chance of {{Item|HydroPots}} being burnt in a fire, because each item in a room is evaluated individually and has a chance of burning.
