The Violet Beau is a purely decorative species of flora, found inhabiting a wide range of biomes. By slashing at the plant with a knife or a thermoblade, the player can obtain Violet Beau Seeds.
One seed takes 2x2 inventory slots and can be planted in an Exterior Growbed or an Alien Containment. It takes 1200 seconds (20 minutes) for a seed to grow into a mature Violet Beau.
Each plant has 150 HP and can therefore be cut 8 times in total, resulting in 9 seeds being collected. The last slash destroys the plant and yields 2 seeds instead of 1.
The Violet Beau has no use in crafting and serves only as decoration, although the seeds can be put into a bioreactor for 70 units of energy per seed.
Appearance
The Violet Beau consists of a long, dark purple stalk from which long, slim, highly ornated leaves grow outwards. The leaves have a blue base and bright purple tips capable of emitting bioluminescent glows.
Violet Beau found in the Jellyshroom Cave and on the largest island of the Underwater Islands are much larger than those found elsewhere, suggesting these biomes harbour a unique subspecies. The same phenomenon is seen with the Cave Bush, though to a much greater degree.
Data Bank Entry
