Flora scan

Flora is scannable plant life.

Summary

Flora is the procedurally generated, scannable plant life occurring on a planet in No Man's Sky. Grass is generally considered backdrop and not part of the scannable flora. On many toxic and radioactive planets, small mushrooms may take the place of grass and are also unscannable. The type of plant life depends upon what kind of planet the flora is living on.

Most species can be mined using the Multi-tool for Carbon and some species can be picked for special elements. The scanner will indicate which resource you will get. For a list of plants containing special elements see resource,

Flora can be renamed and uploaded for Nanite Clusters. There is no indication how many different flora species are on a planet and scanning them does not count towards completing zoology efforts.

Some flora are hazardous and will hurt the player if they step too close.

Scan Data

The properties of the plant are procedurally generated terms and don't have an effect on the gameplay, aside from Primary Element and Secondary Element. Note that Age, Primary Element, and Secondary Element cannot be viewed in the Discoveries.

Primary Element

This is the main element that the plant will give the player when mined. This element is usually Carbon. Primary Element cannot be viewed in a species's collection logs.

Secondary Element

Some plants will give the player a small amount of a second element when mined. Secondary Element cannot be viewed in a species's collection logs.

Rarity

Note: This information is unverified in the NEXT update.

The upload of discovered flora is rewarded with units depending on rarity.

  • Common, 500 Units

Flora types

Most of the flora can be generally classified into six major types:

  • "Mushroom" type
  • "Bulb flower" type
  • "Tree" type
  • "Fern" type
  • "Coral Fan" type
  • "Hazardous" type

Most flora-existent planets have variations of the major types, either in size, shapes, colours or details. Many have variations of the same type on the same planet.

Additional information

  • The plant's properties generation are extracted from the 1.77 version of NMS_UPDATE3_ENGLISH.MBIN game file.
  • A template for uploading flora can be found here.
  • According to estimates from Sean Murray, life, mainly plants, will be found on roughly one out of ten planets and larger creatures on one planet in a hundred.[1]
  • Due to a bug (probably) on many planets and moons the same name (including properties) is chosen automatically for different flora species. The pattern is always the same: Specific names are given twice (not more) and it's always a large (like a tree) and a small kind of plant. Until proven otherwise, this phenomenon seems to be restricted to lush, frozen and toxic biome planets (moons). It has not yet been seen for fauna.
