Zamites

Zamites are small mini-tree-like plants. It lived from the Triassic period to the Paleogene period, dying shortly before Neogene period. They are based on the little known real-life extinct genus, Zamites. Punching the plant will not destroy the item, unlike vanilla grass. Dinosaurs or other herbivorous prehistoric creatures will not eat this plant.

Like most other content in the mod, it does not spawn naturally in the world.

Appearance

Zamites are short plants that look somewhat like tiny trees. They have dark green leaves with a brown base. The leaves go around in random directions.

It is used for decoration, and is useful for making a prehistoric environment.

Obtaining

The zamites can only be obtained by putting a Plant Fossil in a Analyzer. There is a rare chance that the Analyzer will give back Fossilized Zamites Seeds, which you then must put in a Culture Vat. Unless the Culture Vat fails and spawns a Failure Plant, it will then turn the Fossilized Seeds into normal Zamites Seeds which can be planted.
