I understand that having alien plants that make medicine isn't horrible, but having a miracle cash crop botany can use for all sorts of science themselves could be neat.
Overall the inclusion of more plants that have medical properties/drug properties would not be bad from a gameplay standpoint if someone wants to do hobo chemistry/become a botany pharmacist etc.
I think the inclusion of the Willow Tree as a way to get Salicylic acid (willow bark apparently contains part of asprin so there's that) and wood for building barriers (a way to make paper from wood could probably be added but it sounds like one of those things that would be pointless except for gimmicks) I doubt anyone would use it but giving botany a edge in the "Guess all the things we can make" department would be fun at least for a while. Considering barman can drug everybody now, and scientists have an entire department to themselves.
Also wood as a byproduct of willow trees would probably be another way to fuel the engine, though not anywhere near as efficient or logical.
Anyway I think botany could use some extra drug things.
