Ballast Flora are a parasitic organism that take root in the ballast Pumps and quickly grow into the rest of the submarine.
A ballast flora infection has chance of taking root when pumping water in and the submarine is in a colony of ballast flora spores.

Mechanics

There is a 5% chance of infection per second while the submarine is near spores & a ballast pump is pumping in water. The spores are faintly visible on sonar, and are visible to the naked eye as blooming green spores in the water. All ballasts should be checked by the crew whenever the submarine moves through a spore cloud.

Ballast Flora hijacks the submarine's hatches, doors, and pumps to protect itself and harm players. Growing and potentially draining power, until attacked.

Installation	Effect
Pumps	If powered, pumps in water when attacked.
Doors/hatch	Close the door/hatch when attacked.
Batteries/Junction box	Adds 100-700 extra load per box/drain per battery & store power. Uses stored power to accelerate growth when attacked.
Walls	Releases acidic gas that deals Acid Burn damage to humans when attacked.

Removal

A video detailing one removal method of ballast flora using a Welding Tool.

Ballast Flora is destroyed when the root, which resides inside the original infected pump is destroyed. It can be damaged with Explosives, Flamers, Plasma Cutters, Welding Tools, Prototype Steam Cannons, and Fire, but will defend itself after being attacked by releasing toxic gas which causes Acid Burn , as well as by controlling pumps to pump in more water and closing doors and hatches to shield itself or trap an unlucky Human inside a room filled with toxic gas.

The root has 200 health, and its branches have 50.
The Acid Burn can be partially resisted by wearing a Safety Harness, Diving Suit or other burn-resistant clothing.
Ballast Flora takes half damage when in water, for this reason its advised to pump out all of the water from the affected ballast, then cut power to the pump to prevent the Ballast Flora from flooding the room once its attacked.
