The main issue with kudzupeoples to me is the weird underbaked and half hidden mechanics, as well as unclear role of non-antags created from a syndicate only item.
I very much disagree that kudzupeoples are "fun" right now. There is nothing to do as them. You are tied to the kudzu and have terrible botany abilities. While you can sort of build your own little hydroponics corner you lack acces to many essential botany tools, so you can't really do anything serious with it and as non-antags, there isn't that much to do to begin with.
Kudzupeoples don't serve any real purpose. They don't really help the antags that make them other than being a distraction. They don't really provide anything of value if they want to coexist with the crew and depend on disruptive kudzu. What would be lost if they were axed entirely and replaced with simple npc kudzu-zombie (or man-eater-like creature), providing a real antag purpose to feeding corpses to kudzu ?
Kudzupeoples are not fleshed enough to be proper antags and not really... good for anything as non-antags right now. So where would they even fit ? What do we need them for ? That why I lean toward the side just making them clear antags entities and trim/change their abilities toward that role, instead of keeping them into their current aimless valid non-antag position.
