[CLOSED PR] Prefab - Gnomish Warship

Does LUCA increase the chance of splicing by 30% or does it make any splice that has a 0% chance 30%. (IE would a poppies and slurry pod splice for example be 30% with LUCA). The former seems fine however the latter seems like itd be horribly op. It isnt hard to get over 3 seeds of a plant, this would allow you to make hellplants incredibly quickly, esp considering the current state of the economy and how rushable credits can be.

It is the latter, yes. By the time you would get it, it would make radweed splicing possible. FYI if it was additive 30% it would make some steps easier than with current LUCA design. All I want is one extra strategy for botanists to use, and I am trying to balance it so that it does not overshadow the traditional methods in any way. 

I have few ideas for how to make getting the splice module harder without just increasing it cost, and the one I like the most is to have a small quest before you can talk to the merchant gnome, much like with the Flock Mind merchant who also sells some very overpowered stuff. There are two kinds of quests: Deliver Jumbo Sized (the absolute maximum quality of a crop) of a random produce to David, OR bring him a random bartender drink. The former is obviously the most difficult and the most time consuming, while the latter is going to add around 4 minutes. I am kind of leaning towards the Jumbo-quest... What do you think?
