But, Marm, my plants are low potency! I need saltpetre- what do I do? Worry not, b*tanist- simply read the below to discover the truth. How I increased my plant potency by creating saltpetre inside my own plants. Chapter 1: The Power of Saltpetre Plants The first step in my journey was realising it is impossible to create saltpetre inside my own plants. Chapter 2: The Overwhelming Power of Bees Now that we've told RND to buzz off, we're in a predicament. We lack saltpetre. That's fine, we can make our own. Head to Cargo and order yourself a Beekeeping Starter Set. If the crate eventually arrives, unbox it and you'll notice you're left with a giant apiary in front of you. Insert the honey frames, but do NOT insert the Queen bee yet. Head to Medical or Science Chemistry and ask for a small beaker of saltpetre. Take 5u of the saltpetre out with a syringe and inject it into your Queen Bee. This will chemically alter the Queen Bee. Now insert it into your apiary. You will notice your apiaries are producing bees with (saltpetre) next to them in their names. No, the bees are NOT distributing saltpetre onto your plants. Make sure to put on your beekeeping attire and carry on managing your plants. You will notice your bees are going between the apiary and the plants, and growing in numbers over time. The yield of the plants the bees visit will gradually increase over time. In addition, your apiaries will begin to generate honeycombs. To take them out, take out your honey frames, you will need to take them each out individually to get the full amount. Honeycombs will contain equal parts honey, and equal parts of the chemical you injected into your bees. Therefore, by following the steps above, we begin to create saltpetre from bees. Thus increasing the yield and potency of our plants effectively passively without the use of a chemical dispenser. To extract the saltpetre and honey from our honeycombs, all we need to do is place them into a grinder with a beaker, and grind them up. To seperate your honey from your saltpetre, simply insert your beaker into the Chem Master 3000 in the hydroponics back room, and make rather separate bottles of saltpetre or separate bottles of honey. Well done. You are now doing dispenserless botany. Have fun, B*tanist.
