[Hydrophonics] Revive people by growing Replicants

[Fonduede]

Similar to pod people or body snatchers or whatnot, it'd be nice to have a use for all those worthless synth arms/legs/brains that pop out when pursuing the evasive synthbutt.

I whipped up a few sprites of what the replicator could look like.



On the left, you have the monitor and mass reservoir, and on the right, the expanded hydro tray with the support rod that holds up the soon-to-be-dangling replicator pod.

Loading up the replicator with a replicator pod would change its sprite, like so.



At this point, the replicator needs two things: DNA, and vegetable biomass. Biomass can be loaded with produce in a similar manner to the compost tank, or botanists can load synth limbs/organs directly into the pod on the right side.

Additionally, DNA must be added to the pod to start the growing process. This can be done by loading in any body part or injecting blood into the pod.

Once all the prep work is done, the replicant will start growing in the pod.



The pod needs watering and care from a botanist just like any other plant, and when the replicant is ready, the botanist can harvest them by hand to release the player.

I'd assume they'd probably be a plant person once they pop on out, though it would be interesting if they retained any human parts that were used to replicate them, IE if they were grown from a leg, they would still have a human leg.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I made some Replicant sprites and bloodbag fruit sprites, as well.
