Biological Research Station

"" Hurry back with that seed now, baby.""

The biological research station is an automated personality computer in the Big Empty.

Background
The holotape to activate this station can be found in the X-22 botanical garden. You can talk to it once it is brought back online. Its personality is akin to that of a suave smooth talker. The biological research station refers to the Courier as 'baby', and makes endless innuendos in reference to seed.

Quests

 * All My Friends Have Off Switches: The biological research station is one of the appliances you have to get the backup module for.
 * Field Research: After having restored its personality, you may bring back dried seeds for it to plant.

Other interactions
The Biological research station will plant 11 types of seeds from the samples provided to it, which will sprout into harvestable plants. The plants can be harvested every 3 days that have passed in Big MT. Conveniently, the harvestable plants are the same types that are able to be given to the Biological research station in exchange for Salient green on a 1 for 1 basis.

The following types of plants are grown by, and can be exchanged for Salient green, at the Biological research station:

Appearances
The biological research station appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the White horsenettle plant can glitch causing it to fall right through the dirt, disappear upon touching the floor, and then spawn above the dirt- it will repeat this as long as you're in the room.
