Copied from the overview:

A rework of the potency, nutrient, water, and environmental tolerance mechanics of botany. Instead of having a potency value that decides the amount of reagents a plant generates, it will instead be decided by the amount of, and type of nutrients in the plant. More powerful reagents require nutrients that are harder to obtain, or have other downsides to their use. Some reagents will also change the environmental requirements of the plant that contains them, such as a cryogenics related reagent causing a plant to require colder temperatures to survive.

I'm concerned about the continued inclusion of environmental tolerances. It's a fun idea in concept, but in practice it's just a slow damaging factor in the plant. You can't adjust the pressure of the room w/o significant atmos work and then even if you could, you'd need isolated pods for each tray or group of trays to have varied conditions since you're typically growing a wide variety of plants.
