Location and route
Approach Cabbage Shootroot from a known oxygen point, scan the plant, then check the floor, walls, and nearby fauna before harvesting. If the plant sits in Coral Gardens hazards, mark it and return with the right tool instead of forcing the route.
Uses and unlock value
The practical value is food route, growbed planning. If it supports a recipe, collect only the amount needed for the next craft. If it is a landmark, use it to label the route and connect it to the nearest biome or resource loop.
Risk and scan notes
Candidate for grow planning after base storage exists. In co-op, call out the plant name, region, and nearest return marker so teammates can reuse the route without duplicating the scouting work.
