After much trial and effort, these are the most potent combinations of limbus and protein we have found for different applications.
Proteins that can be used: Bones, flesh, blood. Fresh, frozen, or dried. Proteins that cannot be used: Claws, nails, hair, scales, milk, plant* proteins.
*Plant proteins will work, but will result in abominations. See sketchesattached.
=====
Growing from the ground: ● 4 oz limbus <-- flat rate to initiate growth. ● 2 oz protein + 1/8 oz protein for every pound of body weight.
Example: to grow a 6.5 lb arm, you need 4 oz limbus, plus 2.81 oz (2 +6.5(0.125)) blood
Pros: ● Body parts can be grown using small amounts of limbus. ● Body part replica is exact. ● Seems to last on the vine indefinitely without need for refrigeration. (So far. Tests still ongoing.)
Cons: ● Protein MUST be from the donor you wish to recreate. Gatordawg protein will grow gatordawg limbs, etc. ● Takes time. See below:
Day 0 - Limbus/protein mixture planted in ground Day 1 - Plant sprouts and starts setting fruit Day 2 - A limb will be ready Day 3 - Half a body will be ready Day 4 - A body will be ready Day 5 - A LARGE body will be ready
=====
Sculpting like clay: ● Amount of limbus needed is (full weight of the body part)-4 oz ● Amount of protein needed is (amount of limbus)*0.04 <-- i/e. 1:25 protein:limbus ratio
Example: to sculpt a 6.5 lb arm, you'd need 100 oz of limbus and 4 oz protein. (6.5 lbs in oz = 104 oz. 104-4 oz = 100 oz. 100*0.04=4 oz. )
Pros: ● Immediate results. ● Protein can be from any donor.
Cons: ● Replica often retains cosmetic plantlike properties (bark texture, leaves, etc.) ● Uses large amounts of limbus. ● Must be refrigerated or frozen if it isn't used immediately.
For the sake of convenience when calculating limbus/protein amounts, refer to the charts on the following pages.
[Use this widget to calculate how much limbus or protein it takes to make a body part! Note that this is JUST FOR FUN and you don't have to adhere to these quantities. Go with your plant-based heart.]
Tl;DR: ▶ For very small parts like eyes or hands, use the clay method! ▶ For large parts like legs, use the in-ground method! ▶ If someone is dead and needs a new body, use the in-ground method! ▶ If someone is still alive but needs more than half a body to stay that way, use a limbus bulb!
