Tapper

The Tapper is a utility item used to harvest resources from certain tappable flora. Once attached to a compatible plant, it passively produces organic resources over time without consuming any power. It is a simple way to automate gathering from hostile or otherwise unusual flora, especially when a steady supply of plant-based materials is needed.

A Tapper can be placed on a number of different flora types, and each plant has its own production interval. Some flora produce quickly, while others take much longer between outputs. The Tapper itself does not increase the total yield of a plant: if multiple Tappers are attached to the same flora, they split the output instead of speeding up production. In practice, this makes one Tapper per plant the most efficient setup unless the player specifically wants to divide the harvest among several collection points.

• The Tapper uses no power.
• It can be attached to various tappable flora.
• Multiple Tappers on one plant split the output rather than multiplying it.
• Production time depends on the flora type, ranging from very fast to relatively slow.

Known compatible flora include Plumtree, Bat Plant, Spinelily, Honeydew, Cacti, Spiny Noodle, Jumping Bean, Coralbush, Daggeroot, Thorny Noodle, Volatile Noodle, Vicious Club, Volatile Club, Premium Stinkbud, Poison Stinkbud, Thistlewhip, Balloon Bulb, Spiny Attactus, Twining Twig, Whipweed, Fractal Rose, Hybrid Rose Seed, Sturdysquash varieties, Amaize, and Gunkwort.
