Saturn Critter Trap
The Saturn Critter Trap plant is a carnivorous plant that lays in wait for unsuspecting critters to happen by, then traps them in its mouth for consumption.
The Saturn Trap Plant's predatory mechanism is reflective of the harsh radioactive habitat it resides in. Once trapped in the deadly maw of the plant. creatures are gently asphyxiated then digested through powerful acidic enzymes which coat the inner sides of the Saturn Trap Plant's leaves.
Saturn Critter Trap plant is a food plant that grows from a Saturn Critter Trap Seed and the plant eats land based critters.
This plant has no seed chance and therefore can not be mutated.
Food
It produces Plant Meat which is edible (but cannot be further cooked) and produces 900.1 grams of Hydrogen.
Plant Meat is not well known and still in development.
12,000 kcal / 30 cycles.
Hydrogen Production
While growing, the Saturn Critter Trap produces hydrogen. The hydrogen is produced and stored internally at a rate of 167g every 4 seconds (25kg per cycle). When the plant has accumulated 33.3kg of hydrogen is released into its environment. This rate of hydrogen production is the same for both wild and domesticated plants and unaffected by growth buffs such as Farmer's Touch.
The saturn critter trap must be growing to produce hydrogen. When growth is stopped due to environmental conditions or lack of a critter to eat no new hydrogen is produced, but currently stored hydrogen is unaffected.
Growth
Saturn critter trap requires cold temperature range of -90.1°C - 0.1°C, and air pressure of 150 g - 10 kg. It requires any atmosphere and 1 land based critter to eat.
Wild
A wild saturn critter trap takes 120 cycles to grow to maturity.
Domestic
Saturn critter trap can be planted in a Planter Box, a Farm Tile or a Hydroponic Farm. It needs to be fertilized with 10 kg/cycle of Polluted Water.
Currently there is a bug causing dupes to not plant the trap. However, Pips are allowed to plant Saturn Critter Traps.
Saturn Critter Trap Edible Critters
Saturn Critter Trap eat land based critters. Flying critters such as Shine Bug, Puft, and Gassy Moo will fly over the plant trap. The Saturn Critter Trap also does not like to eatPacu.

Trivia
- Saturn Critter Trap when mature requires duplicant interaction to harvest, if you are farming for the hydrogen output, it is better to wild plant the Saturn Critter Trap as it takes longer to grow before requiring duplicant interaction while producing the same amount of hydrogen per cycle.
