Plantoids each have unique and complex genetics. Coupled with our non-deterministic growth algorithm, this means that even if two Plantoids share the same leaf and flower combinations, they will still look totally different. That's why Plantoids don't follow a traditional rarity scale. Instead, key factors to pay attention to on secondary markets are plants with pleasing or interesting shapes and sizes, mutation only traits, diamond or gold leaves, or high growth rates.
Age is also a key factor, as the longer a Plantoid has been growing, the larger an impact it's had. Less appealing Plantoids might also be diamonds in the rough! Because the weather conditions a Plantoid faces as it grows impacts its growth, pruning and regrowing a Plantoid under new conditions may ultimately result in a much more interesting shape. Only time, care, and experimentation will tell.
The OG generation is special in that it is a limited volume drop, has growth rates that will increase with age (2.5x cap), early access to new features, have guaranteed carbon contributions for three years, no danger of withering, and more VIP features.
Plantoids are comprised of 3 different primary components: a birth function (on-chain) that allows a user to bring a new Plantoid seed into the world with a unique set of traits, an open-source growth function (on-client but based on on-chain data) that executes over time, and visual output functions that create representations of the plant to be rendered in websites, VR, games, etc.
In the future, more Plantoids with different traits will be released, but they will not come with the same benefits that OG Plantoids enjoy. They will immediately require intermittent watering in order not to wither. That means if you properly care for your Plantoid while others allow theirs to wither and therefore lose access to those traits, your traits will automatically go up in value as they become scarcer. You can then either bring that plant to secondary markets or leverage your competitive advantage in and propagate those rare traits throughout your collection. OG Plantoid owners will never have to worry about the OG generation withering and losing access to those traits.
