Toxipotato plant
A genetically-engineered variant of potato adapted for growing in polluted areas. Compared to regular potatoes, toxipotatoes take less time to grow but yield a meager harvest of food. When eaten raw, they have a high chance of causing food poisoning. In spite of this, they have saved many settlers from starvation after toxic events.

The toxipotato plant is a domesticated plant added by the Biotech DLC. It notably must be planted on polluted terrain; Toxipotatoes cannot be grown on unpolluted terrain and will rapidly die if planted on a tile that is subsequently cleaned of pollution.
It is worth noting that toxipotato plants still die to toxic fallout.
Growing[edit]
| Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fertility (%) | 70 | 100 | 140 | 280 |
| Real Grow Time (days)[1] | 9.05 | 9.05 | 9.05 | 9.05 |
| Base Yield/day[2] | 0.77 | 0.77 | 0.77 | 0.77 |
- ↑ Actual days to grow, taking into account rest time.
- ↑ Per plant, assuming Crop Yield Multiplier of 1.0.
Note that Difficulty settings change the Crop Yield Multiplier.
Analysis[edit]
Toxipotato plants (0.77 base yield/day) are strictly inferior in yield to both potato plants (1.03 yield/day) and rice plants (1.08 yield/day) in regular soil. While +16.67% better in yield/work than rice, toxipotatoes take ×163.4% the time per plant to grow, so are a less reliable crop. If work is a concern, then regular potatoes (+57.14%) or corn (+214.81%) are much better options for yield.
Toxipotatoes can be grown on polluted soil, but their abysmal yield in all aspects means that it would take a heavily polluted map, where little clean soil is nearby, to make it feasible. Even then, you could clear out a field to grow more traditional plants in. Cleaning can take a while, so toxipotatoes can be used in the earlier stages of an extremely polluted colony.
The extra food poisoning chance is negligible, as raw food should always be cooked anyways.
