Endministrator, do you have time?

Vera
My tartpepper plants... They're all gone.
V
Vera
Yeah. And you are...?
V
Vera
Ah, I remember. You're the Endministrator of Endfield Industries.
V
Vera
Well, my situation ... is pretty obvious. It's my fault, really. I should have taken the seeds with me...
V
Vera
I didn't expect the LBs to raid a backwater place like this. They took all the crops *and* the seeds.
V
Vera
Yeah. We can gather some to meet our most urgent needs...
V
Vera
But tartpepper plants aren't easy to find in the wilderness. I know a few bushes grow on the cliffs on the other side. Getting there won't be easy, though.
V
Vera
Counting on you, Endmin.
V
Vera
They're also key crops for our ongoing plant improvement research...

Vera said the spot's up on the cliff. You need to find a way up, Endmin.

Shoo. Go away. I'm busy. Got no time to talk.
W
Wellmorin
Oh. You know me. Have I taken anything from you?
W
Wellmorin
Seeds to sell? Sure ... but no haggling. Seed gathering is no easy work, you know.
W
Wellmorin
Here. Take a look at my collection.
W
Wellmorin
That's right. Nobody on Talos-II knows more about botanicals than me.
W
Wellmorin
You'd rather believe in scientists wearing silly white drapes? Did those eggheads ever explore the wildlands? Did they collect any samples from places blanketed by the Blight?
W
Wellmorin
Plants are going extinct with every passing day but those eggsperts would rather work on their senseless lab projects.
W
Wellmorin
But I, Wellmorin, will build Talos-II's most complete seed bank!
W
Wellmorin
I'm looking for seeds. I found many plants that only grow in Valley IV and I intend to add them to the seed bank.
W
Wellmorin
Luckily, I met a few pipefaces who are willing to part with some of the good stuff. Or I wouldn't be able to collect everything on my own.
W
Wellmorin
Right, right. Yeah, them.
W
Wellmorin
And what do you mean steal? They're LBs!
W
Wellmorin
My time is valuable! Consultation isn't free!
Radio
Fiona the Comms Officer
These should be enough. Let's bring them back to Vera.

What is it? My time is precious. I don't intend to waste it on meaningless chit-chat.

We now have a Tartpepper Plot.

Perform the next step at the Eco-Farm. Go on, try it out!

This must be it.

8 Use Crafting to craft Tartpepper Plot
Dialogue
V
Vera
You're back. Gathered any tartpeppers so far?
V
Vera
Thank you! I'll deliver this batch first for our most urgent needs...
V
Vera
But we can't keep exploring and foraging for tartpeppers forever. We must get some seeds and start growing a new crop of tartpepper plants.
V
Vera
Really appreciate this, Endmin. You're a lifesaver.
V
Vera
While I was in the evacuation shelters, I met a self-proclaimed botanist named Wellmorin.
V
Vera
He was rather eccentric and didn't look like a local to me, but he also mentioned that he was creating a seed bank. The man might have some rare plant seeds to sell.
V
Vera
He should be near the Infra-Station. I think he's out there collecting plant samples.
V
Vera
In any case, meet me at the Eco-Farm entrance once you've found the seeds.

V
Vera
Nicely done. You're really getting the hang of it.
V
Vera
Raising a crop requires some tender loving care. But when harvest time comes, you'll realize that everything is really worth its while.
V
Vera
You mean those things Endfield has been testing? I've seen them a few times. They're impressive.
V
Vera
You can always return to the Eco-Farm to grow any crop you like. Just make sure you got the seeds.
V
Vera
Hah. That's true. The most cost-effective way is to save some of the gathered plants and use your AIC seed-picking units to make your own seeds.
V
Vera
But plants aren't so easily tamed. I reckon some crops can only thrive in natural environments for now.

Great, you got the seeds! Our first step is to use crafting and make growing plots with them.
V
Vera
Wanna give this a shot?
V
Vera
You'll need some carbon in addition to the seeds. I got some right here. Take them.
