    From http://starbounder.org/Greenfinger's_Notes:_Treetop_Dwellings (Important part bolded):

    What's the server-lore opinion on the ability of Florans to control plants? Because I was reading through the lore and apparently they can. I have no idea what the extent of it is, though. Discuss.

    My own personal opinion on the matter is that, while some things are stated to be in the lore like that, they generally aren't written in mind with an RP server. Not completely shutting down the idea, but I can see the idea of florans commanding plants to be pretty overpowered, for the most part. Though, the idea of using it to just simply build things (within reason) through this ability, isn't overly bad. But yeah. I see this as likely being considered godmodding if used in a combat situation or similar. Or even with certain levels of RP interactions.

    I'm fine with them controlling plants, so long as said plants move at plant speed.

    I was thinking more along the lines of "Bend tree-trunks and grow crops more quickly," not powergame-level stuff (EG "Jim The Floran shoots vines ath Bob The Non-Floran and kills him!")

    Hm... but imagine the bondage potential. Tying up prisoners, whipping them with vines...

    PS: If this sounds suggestive, you disgust me.

    Dude, I didn't think about the suggestive part until you mentioned it.

    When I read that, I immediately thought of 674.
