Cheesy Gubbin Plant

f The Cheesy Gubbin Plant was made available to all players on 24th June 2021, as part of the Summer 2021 Items.

Appearance
A round terracotta pot with a ridged band at the top and another at the base is home to a tall tree with a narrow brown trunk, topped by a bulbous brown piece with several large pale green leaves sprouting from it. Beneath this is a bunch of yellow rounded fruits strongly resembling a certain popular snack.

Function
Placing a Cheesy Gubbin Plant increases hospital attractiveness in a small radius surrounding it.

The Cheesy Gubbin Plant's maintenance gauge will fall over time. When the gauge falls to 50%, the Cheesy Gubbin Plant will visibly wilt, and its attractiveness effect will almost disappear. If it is allowed to fall to 25%, the Cheesy Gubbin Plant will further wilt and the attractiveness effect will be gone. Below 10%, a negative attractiveness effect will be generated instead.

When placed in close proximity to a heat source, such as a radiator, a Cheesy Gubbin Plant's maintenance gauge will fall more quickly.

Maintenance
Janitors are tasked with watering Cheesy Gubbin Plants, although also capable of doing so are other staff members with the Green Fingers trait. When the maintenance gauge reaches 50%, a janitor will be called automatically. Before this, the player may call a janitor to the Cheesy Gubbin Plant manually by pressing the appropriate button.

Room
The Cheesy Gubbin Plant can be placed in every room except Surgery, for reasons of sterility.

Staff
The following Staff is required to water the Cheesy Gubbin Plant:

Alternatively, any staff member with the Green Fingers trait will water plants in the room where they are working.
