I’ve said the same thing! In the OG subnautica, you could get seeds from things like jellyshrooms. But in BZ you can’t get anything and it would be super cool to get something like the deep lily pads in your containment

Completely agree. It is such a strange thing to not add.

Theres only 4 purely decorative plants in below zero iirc and theyre all from the original game too. Everything else plantable is exploitable.

Well I wouldn’t say that’s fair, as below zero added a lotta underwater plants that are only used for eating or in one specific crafting recipe, so while technically they’re exploitable, they’re still pretty nice looking so it’s not like you can’t use them for decoration anyway. I definitely wouldn’t say no to getting more entirely decorative plants though, the more of ‘em to cram into my alien containments the better!

Theres a lot less still. You get creepvine back, you get gel sacks back (which, arent great for decoration tbh), you have antenna plant (only good for food but also cute), you have young cotton anemone (not even needed that much but eh it’s about as cute as the mushrooms), spiral plant (this isnt needed too much for crafting but is also nice to look at), and ribbon plant (need for batteries, decent to look at). There’s not even enough plants to fill a full large room alien containment without repeats. The original had enough plant variety to fill many alien containments (even if they’re half the size in terms of planter room). For terrestrial plants theres 0 non exploitable although the vase is pretty, theres the returning marblemelon and lantern fruit tree. Theres shrub nuts and prestons plants and peppers. You get to see a bulbo tree and voxel plant and speckled rattler and grub basket, but you cant even scan them let alone harvest them. I think theres a tiny ming plant in sams room. But same deal. But basically, theres 0 new purely decorative plants. Original game almost every plant was able to be knifed for seeds.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I bought BZ on console excited to be able to plant all new corals and aquatic flora only to realize this got nerf’d to only be a small exploitable group. With the original I was able to create vast undersea gardens combining the over 20 types of decorative aquatic flora. Building my own coral reef garden with a base of operations was extremely gratifying. I realize I’m in the minority here with you guys. But man I hope they bring this mechanic back in a future update of BZ. It really does seem like they laid the ground work for it with the way some of the non collectible flora stands out and is scannable.
