"Ribbon plants contain electrolytic materials that can be used in energy storage." ― PDA.
The Ribbon Plant is a flora species required to craft batteries. It possesses a glowing green core anchored to the floor by a short yellow stem, with long, yellow, ribbon-like leaves wrapping around the core. A black, wavy tendril protrudes from the top of the plant, likely giving it its name.
It is commonly found within caves in the Shallow Twisty Bridges but can also be acquired from Sea Monkeys which offer the player resources.
Description
The Ribbon Plant contains a highly concentrated sulfuric acid and can be harvested for use in battery fabrication. The sulfuric acid evolved as an evolutionary defense mechanism to discourage fauna from eating the leaves of the ribbon plant. When harvesting the plant, the core must not be compromised in order to avoid creating an exothermic chemical reaction.
