Several different combos of parent plants can equal the same species though right? So if you set up a chart to cross breed just the plants going along at the pace of when you discover a new one and setting it up in the chart, and cross breeding the new one with all the ones you have previously, each combo in the grid counts as two ... astera (AST) + ball cactus (BAL) = lemonbush (LMB) and conversely, BAL + AST = LMB on the chart as well, so are there as many combos as you would think?

I crossbred every of the ## plants with the others of the ##. I know this is just for PLANTS ... I am not even talking about flower combos ... I made a separate chart for them and crossbred all of them as well ... ## flowers ...filling in the info on both charts as I went along.

Yeah, I know I had quite a few repeats while I experimented to fill in the charts, but that was half the fun of discovery.

Making a check list for plant and flower species, even before using the VT, isn't species ##plant X ##flower = "OVER 500 species"? Granted, some had to be mutated in order to GET in actuality that particular plant/flower combo, but the crossbreeding charts helped. And in order to get that particular species combo, you only need to use ONE of the possible combinations to get it, not all of them. Am I on the right track here or is there more?

(numbers edited out so not to make spoiler)

I do have to say that the VT was very helpful at the end for tracking purposes (you have the option to hide the spoiler information) to confirm/track what I had made and alert me to what I needed to make.
