Notes
Salient Green's value is considerably higher (50) than the typical value of plant items (6 or less apiece). Thus, if one has many undesired plants to sell, it is far more profitable to first convert the plant material to Salient Green.
Behind the scenes
Salient Green's name is a reference to the 1973 film Soylent Green.
