Photosynthetic Skin

You replenish yourself by absorbing sunlight through your hearty green skin.

You can bask in the sunlight instead of eating a meal to gain a special metabolizing effect for (1, 2) days: +(20 + Level * 4)% to natural healing rate and +(1 + Ceiling(Level / 2.0) Quickness

While in the sunlight, you accrue starch and lignin that you can use as ingredients in meals you cook (max (1,2,3) of each).

+200 reputation with roots, trees, vines, and the Consortium of Phyta

When low on food, rather than becoming famished, you wilt, giving -10% regeneration and -5 quickness. Additionally, mutants with Photosynthetic Skin can be harmed greatly by defoliant gas.

If a photosynthetic creature is under the sky during the day, every 6 hours (or 300 game ticks) they will generate one serving of starch and lignin if they have not reached the maximum amount. Physical containers are not required to hold these ingredients and cannot be interacted with in anyway except for cooking. When cooked, starch will grant the quickness bonus of basking, and lignin will grant the regeneration bonus.

Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages

  • Grants bonus regeneration and quickness at a relatively low cost.
  • Gives bonus reputation with roots, trees, vines, and the Consortium of Phyta.
  • Gives free lignin and starch.

Disadvantages

  • Characters with Photosynthetic Skin take high damage from defoliant gas.
  • The bonuses granted by basking are relatively weak.
  • Basking is only possible during the day and above ground.
