Plant Whisperer (Mutation)
You gain the ability to freely communicate with plants. Too bad plants are jerks.
Your unique cellular structure makes you more sensitive to weather. A clear sky in the daytime can cure you of revival sickness and relieve stress, but harsher weathers can cause you to contract plant-specific diseases.
You also become infertile.

Weather Passives
Plant whisperer's are affected, and often afflicted, by weather. Some of the effects are diseases; all diseases can be transmitted between plant whisperers, and all can be cured with a fungilex hypo. Current weather can be ascertained by looking at the sky, and will also usually show on a tile's description if @prefs showdesc is set to 1. Weather can only affect a plant whisperer on outdoors tiles; indoors tiles will never carry effects. All effects have a chance of being applied every heartbeat that the plant whisperer is inside the weather.
What follows is a list of the weathers and their effects:
- Sunlight, Clear, Windy (during the day): Can recover from revival sickness (this is largely obviated by Iron Liver). If the mutant has Solar Sponge, they will grow less hungry over time.
- Rain, Drizzle, Thunderstorm: If mutants have solar sponge, they will grow less thirsty.
- Overcast, Foggy: No effects.
- Radstorms, Heavy Radstorms (often encountered in the Necropolis): If mutants do not have Silicone Skin, they can be afflicted by radioactive fungus pods, which increase rates of hunger and thirst.
- Ashstorms (encountered in the Screaming Chasm): The mutant has a chance of developing cancer.
- Rotwind and Sandstorms (encountered in the Necropolis' Heart and desert zones respectively): If mutants do not have lithodermis, they can develop fungal blight, which inflicts progressively worsening debuffs.
- Acid Fog (very common in the Necropolis): Can inflict fear on plant whisperers.
- Snow, Blizzards (very common in Weezer Dam and Weezer Village): If mutants do not have yeti fur, they can develop snow mold, which if left untreated can cause brain damage or mental illness. *These are all not confirmed and have been made less severe on Samsara
