Bone Crèche



The bone crèche gradually produces new bone, which is the literal backbone of an organic ship. The bone crèche must be supplied with nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to function, and will produce bone at a rate commensurate to the level of nutrients supplied to it.

Periodically, the bone crèche will complete a bone, which may be removed by a player character or clone and grafted into the ship. There, the bone will permit flesh to grow in the vicinity of the bone. With enough bones, and nearby arteries connected to a heart, oxygenated lungs, and fed stomach, flesh will grow to fill the interstitial spaces between bones. In this way, an organic ship grows and becomes a sealed vessel.

Requires: Electricity; heart, oxygenated lungs, and fed stomach on the same artery network
