Yeah, you like that, don't you, baby?

The GS-2000 Biological Research Station is an automated personality in the Big MT in 2281.

Background[]

The holodisk containing the Station's personality can be found in the X-22 botanical garden, ending up there after Doctor Klein threw it off the Sink's balcony in anger.

The Biological Research Station's personality is akin to that of a suave smooth-talker. He refers to the Courier as "baby" regardless of gender and makes endless innuendos in reference to giving his "seed."

Apparently, he at one point tricked Muggy into looking for a coffee mug inside him, whereupon he "seeded" the little Securitron.[1]

  • All My Friends Have Off Switches: The biological research station is one of the appliances the Courier has to retrieve the backup module for.
  • Field Research: After having restored its personality, one may bring back dried seeds for it to plant.

Other interactions[]

The Biological Research Station will plant 11 types of seeds from the samples provided to it, which will sprout into plants, which can be harvested every 72 hours that pass in the Big MT. Conveniently, the plants are the same types that are able to be given to the Station in exchange for Salient Green on a 1 for 1 basis.

The following types of plants are grown by, and can be exchanged for, Salient Green at the biological research station:

Notes[]

  • When the room is fully harvested it produces a total 37 plant items, that can be immediately exchanged for 37 Salient Green, which can, in turn, be cooked back into any of the 11 types of plants grown.
  • The plant conversion function will convert every applicable item in the inventory on the spot. To avoid the hassle of having to recreate any materials one does not want to be converted, it's best to store them in the nearby refrigerator.
  • Thanks to the Station's ability to convert plant matter into Salient Green in conjunction with Muggy's ability to craft empty syringes, one can craft an unlimited amount of Stimpaks with a Science skill of 70 at the workbench within The Sink.

Bugs[]

  • Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Sometimes the white horsenettle plant can glitch causing it to fall right through the dirt, disappear upon touching the floor, and then spawn above the dirt- it will repeat this as long as you're in the room. If this is happening it is still possible to harvest the plant, although it will be difficult. [verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 At some point in the game, the Sink CIU won't refresh its shop inventory and caps; additionally, the research station won't respawn plants for harvest even after 3 in-game days.[verified]
    • The inventory and plant spawning (both initial and respawn) require the cell to be unvisited for at least three in-game days. Since this won't happen unless one repetitively waits for 24 hours outside the cell, both will nearly always appear to be broken even if they are actually working.
