Directive: Sublimate Ancient Plants

Location
Auxesia (X:8.2, Y:20.3)
Duration
10 min
Mech Model
CAM-II
Patch
7.51

The ancient plant species found at Blossomingway Beds was cultivated to sublimate at full maturity and scatter its aether into the surrounding envrions. We have devised a custom growth formula to accelerated its stunted natural cycle and repair this vital ecological process.

— In-game description

Directive: Sublimate Ancient Plants is a Mech Op spawned in Auxesia.

Steps

Mech Pilots

  • Use the Sublimator Diffuser and Nova Diffuser to sublimate mercorn and giant mercorn.
  • Contribution per mercorn: 10
  • Contribution per giant mercorn: 25 per durability removed
    • Giant mercorn spawn with 2 durability
    • The Sublimator Diffuser will remove 1 durability (25 points)
    • The Nova Diffuser will remove all durability (25-50 points)
Action Cast Time Recast Time Range Radius Tooltip
Sublimator Diffuser Instant 2.5s 0y 20y Sprays growth fomula in a cone before you, accelerating the sublimation cycle of mercorn.
Nova Diffuser Instant 5s 0y 30y Scatter growth formula in a wide radius around the mech, accelerating the sublimation cycle of mercorn.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Formula Case.

Note: Mechs gain the Formula Case buff by moving onto one of the marked mech spots, which allows use of the Nova Diffuser action. Using this action consumes the buff.

Ground Supporters

  • Use the Sublimator Spray and Sublime Sublimator to sublimate dwarf mercorn.
  • Contribution per object: 10
Action Cast Time Recast Time Range Radius Tooltip
Sublimator Spray Instant 3s 0y 7y Sprays growth formula in a cone before you, accelerating the sublimation cycle of dwarf mercorn. Has no effect on larger specimens.
Sublime Sublimator Instant 3s 0y 14y Sprays growth formula in a wide-angle cone before you, accelerating the sublimation cycle of dwarf mercorn. Has no effect on larger specimens.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Supplementary Formula.

Note: A player gains 10 doses (the maximum) of Supplementary Formula by standing in the area around a Formula Tank, which allows use of the Sublime Sublimator action. Using this action consumes one of the doses.

Dialogue

Pilot selection begins

A new mech op directive has been issued. Those seeking to volunteer as pilots must submit an application.
The ancient plant species found at Blossomingway Beds was cultivated to spontaneously sublimate and scatter its aether upon reaching full maturity.
Unfortunately, however, the degradation of city functions has stunted the plants' growth cycle, thus delaying this vital ecological process.
We are now recruiting personnel to assist with an accelerated growth directive. Prospective pilots, submit your applications!

Pilot selection concludes

If selected as pilot
Pilot application accepted! Please make ready and board your mech via the Pilot Confirmation window.
Preparations for the mech op “Directive: Sublimate Ancient Plants” are now underway.
The mech autopilot system will transport you to the mission site.
As stated, your mission will be to promote the growth of an ancient plant species crucial for environmental stability.
In the millennia since the Voyagers disappeared, the urban center's steady decline has visibly impeded their botanical systems.
To combat this dilemma, we've stocked your mech with a custom growth formula. Use it liberally to accelerate the plants' natural sublimation cycle!
You have arrived at the mission site for mech op “Directive: Sublimate Ancient Plants.”
Please take this time to inspect the area and prepare for the operation to begin.
If not selected as pilot
Pilot selection has concluded. Unfortunately, your application was not selected.

Joining the Mech Op

The mech op “Directive: Sublimate Ancient Plants” is now underway.
If joining as a pilot
These plants must be encouraged to complete their growth and surrender their accumulated aether! Commence spraying!
Attention, all pilots. Drones will soon be making supply drops in the operation zone!
Collect these formula cases to fill your secondary canisters, which can be used to activate your wide-area diffusion armaments!
If joining as ground support
You are now participating in a mech op!
A duty action will be assigned to your hotbar.
Welcome to our ground support volunteers! Your mission is to energize the dwarf plants with a custom growth formula!
The tanks we've positioned in the area contain extra reserves of this alchemical solution! Resupply your sprayers as needed!
You fill your sprayer's secondary canister.
Sublime Sublimator primed for use!
We're making good progress! A significant percentage of plant specimens have undergone sublimation!
Right, let's bring in more supply drops. Pilots, don't be shy about picking up those formula restocks!
The next set of supply drops is on the way! Pilots, keep an eye out and be sure to refill your mechs!
We are now ninety percent to our sublimation goal! Just a few more plants to go!

Mech op complete

Sublimation of all plant specimens is complete! Excellent work!
Satisfactory aether diffusion levels confirmed. A “sublime” effort from all personnel!
