Bonsai pot & curio

[jock]

Fill this pot with dirt, water, and seed, and cultivated on a herb table it becomes a bonsai version of any tree.

While still in the pot and cultivated it can be trimmed/groom once per RL day to increase the ql of the tree.

% chance to succeed base don ql of tree soft capped by the quality of (scissors)shears, farming, dex, perc. (similar to gem cutting)

Can be pulled out of the pot to be studied at any time but can no longer be trimmed.

Designed as a long-term investment curio that you can make better the longer you spend improving it.

Plus a cool display case object.

Base LP should have a modifier to the number of times trimmed + quality scaling.

+1 from me, I like the idea!

Salem did it.

In serious note, I'm not against this idea. Maybe add specific "bonsai pot" that works like treeplanter (maybe require less clay, soil and water) but turns into a curio after spending time on Herb Table.

the addition I would add to this is small chance to receive viable offcut/sapling during trimming, it would reduce main plant and off cut Q by 1-2 points, but would allow for the new plant to be put in second pot. Or don't base it on chance, just add option in flower menu "trim new sapling" but that would drop quality of both by %.

in case of random chance, make different trees give smaller or larger chances of receiving valid sapling but it would relate to the base lp (or lp/h) of said tree, ie, larger chance, smaller lp gains.

lots of variability, renewability and fun discovering best trees for bonsaing.

worth adding imo, don't make it yet another crappy curio noone will study. something in range of 15-20 mental weight and about 500 lp/h at q40 would make it worth pursuing. study time >48h because of time invested in creation.
