Synthetic humans or "Plant mutantrace"

The idea is a selectable mutant race of synthetic humans, or plant people! Composed of flowery viney arms and legs by default, selectable flower colours and even a small array of various green tints to their regular torso and head skin! And of course all of their organs would be the synthetic counterpart too! As a fun side perk, allow the character to select a type of flower during character set up, and exchange a small amount of health to be able to "pick" one of these flowers from themselves during the round! 

After looking through all of the synthetic organs that are available I see a few things, mainly lungs that offer a slight advantage, for example being able to filter out carbon dioxide and produce oxygen in the room they breathe in, so I'll elaborate on a few potential balance or mutant race perks down below here.

They should basically have an inbuilt weakness to fire, being literal plants it makes sense. The current character I play as a synth person has the trait that makes it so they're horribly vulnerable to fire, and I believe this should come as standard for the mutant race!

Potentially for RP servers mainly, the thirst motive should have more detrimental consequences if left unchecked! Perhaps a harsher stamina penalty?  

A fun few other thing is, give potential food buffs to the character if they consume compost, or plant nutrients! 

That's a super basic idea for a new mutant race anyways, please feel free to drop any feedback!  jons the catte

further thinkimg about balances & traits, this is all pissing ideas into the wind:
- immune knockouts like co2 & n2
- as long as there is any gas surrounding you, you will not take o2 damage. you still are harmed if the gas is say, flaming plasma or supercooled or whatever.
- cannot eat, you cant take pills either. hypos & syringes act like normal however.
- if you drink water, you heal for a teensy bit of burn/brute, compost, potash, saltpetre it heals you tremendously.
- drinking water compost potash saltpetre fills your food need.
- you start with a 30 unit bottle of compost much like how pugs start with a bone
- maybe potash or saltpetre do different things. maybe its plant meth, gives you good buffs. theyre work to make after all.
- fire is DEBILITATING 
- atrazine & salt FUCKS YOU UP BAD
- when you die, you die like a borg. you drop all your shit as well as synth bodyparts, a synthbrain, some synthmeat, 
- maybe have synthplayers synthbrains look diff from the botany grown snythbrains so nobody is  confused and leave a player hanging.
- cant't clone, if you pop the synthbrain into a hydroponic tray however. itll grow that person. (mechanically same as cloning where you sit & wait as your body ripens up.)
