Lantern Tree (Below Zero)

The Lantern Tree is a rare, terrestrial flora species found in Outpost Zero.
Lantern Fruits can be collected by plucking them from the Lantern Tree's branches. One can plant a Lantern Fruit in an Indoor Growbed or a Plant Pot. Over a certain amount of time (about twelve minutes), it will grow into a Lantern Tree. Once fully grown, the Lantern Tree will begin to produce Lantern Fruits overtime.
Unfortunately, it cannot be used as a singular means of sustenance. The fruits grant only 15 Food and 75 Heat per fruit. That said, it produces at a staggering pace of 2.5 minutes per fruit. An empty tree will bare full fruit in 50 minutes and a full harvest grants 300 food and 1,500 heat.
Though it takes up a lot of space, its fruits provide lots of power (210) when used in a Bioreactor. A single tree can be a convenient fuel source for multiple stressed reactors due to how rapidly the tree bears fruit.
== Appearance ==
The Lantern Tree has a large trunk, made of several vines twisting in a spiral motion that stretch outwards into several individual branches. The branches have small, bioluminescent Lantern Fruits growing from them. The Lantern Tree's branches also bear large, blue-green leaves with blue stripes and orange tips.
The only natural Lantern Trees found in Outpost Zero appear to be withered, being much darker then their healthy counterpart and supporting no leaves with less fruit on their branches.
