new breed idea

i feel like there should be another breed, a flower type that can photosynthesize.and it has, instead of moving zooids, a latch zooid that when latched on to enemy cores it can partially control the colony. and if that doesnt work it can latch on to a part of another colony then break it off and that zooid would become apart of the players colony but can only be on the catchers so it moves with the catchers.

That's really cool idea - I'll add that to the list.

Buginis breed has some similarities to plants and its structure zooid Splitter hints at photosynthesis. One of directions we could have gone was adding "light" areas where some effects of plant-based zooids would intensify.

The "taking control of other parts" is also something we considered before, not in a plant like form as you suggest - that's an interesting idea! Fungal infection, zombification - would also work as a "take control" mechanic.
