Unit:
Beanstalk
Icon:
Image
Name:
beanstalk
Backstory:
The beanstalks originate from a cluster of overgrown suns in the Aloth Tahan System. There only growth limit being time and and sunlight, and as all Journeyman creatures are sentient- or semi-sentient - and thus connected at will to the centrall Conciousness. Beanstalk seeds naturally slingshot themselves out of any system, towards the next sun, and there only needs to get one seed through, for the whole of the Journeyman to regrow on a world near you. Beanstalks grown in high orbit, can intervine with other Beanstalks in the system to form a eco-dyson-sphere.


Function:
One of the most versatile plants ever to be integrated into the Journeyman Common Genetic Memory. It either grows from a orbital dropped Seed or from a Vicious Recycler with enough collected resources.
It periodically overproduces and consumes ressources.
The Building has small building capacitys, but is able to start a construction process at great distance. This allows it to work as your main construction center, starting construction and deployment of buildings and defenses.

Special abilitys:
Can unroot and reroot. The Unit will rip itself out of the ground and become floating , hanging from the orbital Treetop.
Passive Abilitys:
Spawns Reinforcements upon first arrival.

Weapons:
Warpbirds:
Nesting birds, able to drive away any attacker (mainly Asteroids). Very unprecise.
