What is the DNA Manipulator in The Planet Crafter?

The DNA Manipulator in The Planet Crafter is a crucial tool for terraforming, allowing players to genetically engineer tree seeds. These trees are not just for decoration, they play a crucial role in oxygen production, essential for making the planet habitable. Crafting a DNA Manipulator also gives you the Genetic Engineer achievement in the game.

Types of Tree Seeds You Can Create using the DNA Manipulator in The Planet Crafter

The DNA Manipulator enables the production of various tree seeds, each with distinct oxygen multipliers. Some of the generatable tree seeds include:

• Tree Seed Linifolia
• Tree Seed Aleatus
• Tree Seed Cernea
• Tree Seed Elegea
• Tree Seed Humelora
• Tree Seed Aemora
• Tree Seed Soleus
• Tree Seed Shreox
• Tree Seed Pleom (Secret)

After crafting the tree seeds, plant them using a Tree Spreader to begin their growth. Each tree type contributes differently to the oxygen production on your terraformed planet, aiding in the creation of a breathable atmosphere.
