Plant Species X

Plant Species X is a defensive plant that is found in the swamp biome and can be grown in a. s can be found from killing the natural plant, or from harvesting the mountain bushes that look like red sticks coming out of the ground or the cattails that grow along the shore in the swamps. Also, a creature such as an can harvest these bushes and collect the seeds.

Once fully grown, it is controlled the same way as the, with settings for range and targeting, it also shoots down explosive projectiles. It rapidly fires glowing green spores that have similar damage characteristics as spit, both slowing and blinding the target. When damaged, the plant will regain 3HP every second. While shooting it consumes 150 units per shot. It will not shoot if there is no water in the crop plot.

A dinosaur that is aggravated by a player or other dinosaur and is attacked by Plant Species X will stay aggravated at the player/dinosaur until they lose interest and will begin moving towards the plant, mostly with little success due to the plant's knock back and rapid fire, even taking out the largest of dinosaurs. However, it is effectively worthless against the Titanosaur.

Overview
Plant Species X can be customized to attack players, tamed creatures, and/or wild creatures. They can also be set to a custom range and will shoot above and below — assuming they have a line of sight of the target — making them a good defense against flyers.

Settings
The time to grow the Plant Species X appears to be controlled by the games time mechanics rather than real life. It will take approximately 15 in game days to fully grow a plant in the Large Crop Plant.

Time
Planting Growth times (in in-game time):
 * Seeded- 1 Minute
 * Seedling ---> Midling- ~7 days
 * Midling ---> Growthling ~ 5 days
 * Growthling ---> Fruitling ~1-2 days

Range
The Plant Species X has multiple range settings, which correspond to the following distances:
 * Low: 16 meters (approx. 5.3 foundations)
 * Medium: 33 meters (approx. 11 foundations)
 * High: 67 meters (approx. 22.3 foundations)

Targeting
There are seven targeting settings. (All of these settings ignore players and tamed creatures belonging to your tribe.)
 * All Targets: Attacks players, tamed creatures, mounted creatures and wild creatures (Warning: includes newborn creatures—turrets set on this mode will attack baby creatures as soon as they hatch.)
 * Only Survivors or Tamed Creatures: Attacks only players and tamed creatures, ignoring wild creatures.
 * Only Survivors: Attacks only players.
 * Only Tamed Creatures: Attacks only tamed non mounted creatures.
 * Only Wild: Attacks only wild creatures.
 * Only Survivors or Mounted Creatures: Attacks Players and Mounted creatures only.
 * Only Survivors in an Enemy Tribe: Attacks Non-Allied Tribes Survivors and creatures.

Activating
The Plant Species X grows the same as any other plot-based plant, consuming both water and fertilizer to grow, but unlike other plants, it consumes significantly less of both once it reaches maturity. One should monitor water levels when growing these plants indoors.

The following items can be used as fertilizer:

Locations
Seeds for Plant Species X can be collected from two locations:
 * At the tops of mountains by collecting the red flowers
 * In the swamps
 * by collecting the red cattail-like plants (Plant Species X seeds are a very rare drop).
 * by gathering the immature X-plant. It is red and has several red bulbs and a guaranteed drop of seeds.
 * On The Center they can be found around the pillars stretching out to the floating island.
 * In Ragnarok they can be found on the cliffsides if west of The Bridge, or in the swamp area.
 * It could be found in Aberration swamps ( 29.5 56.6 )
 * On Genesis: Part 1 Plant Species X seeds are a rare drop when harvesting Narcoberry plants in the bog.

Placement Restrictions
As of 242.0, the Plant Species X can no longer be built on Quetzal, Brontosaurus, Mosasaurus, Plesiosaur, or Paracer platform saddles. Any existing Plants on such platforms will no longer fire. This is a server option of "OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true". Otherwise they're now only allowed on Rafts and non-moving Bases.

There is also a limit of 100 turrets that can be placed within a 10000 UE-unit (~33.3 foundations) radius. This applies to the combined total of all Auto Turrets, s, s, and. This number can be raised in server settings. This check is done on a turret by turret basis, so different numbers will show up depending on how far away turrets are from each other. Once a limit is exceeded, the affected turrets won't fire until the number goes back down.

On ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, the, , and have a limit of 10 combined within a 16 foundation radius.
