An area-denial device which annihilates nearby plants without affecting animals.
In planetary wars, these weapons are scattered across farmlands or jungles to deny the enemy food or cover. They're usually associated with orbital-drop mechanoid swarms.

Defoliators are mechanoid cluster problem causers that kill all plants in a slowly-growing area. The affected radius rapidly expands to 18 tiles in 1.5 days, then expands to 40 tiles after 6 total days, before reaching the final size of 100 tiles after 20 total days. Upon being destroyed, a defoliator explodes with EMP damage in a 9 tile radius after 240 ticks (4 secs).
