    To use the green plant, press "E" on PC. There will be a green dot that appears. Go on the dot and press space. You can combine it with other dots to get more dots, or by pressing space, you can add it to your inventory. Then if you want to use it, press 1.

  • Question
    Is online coop 2-player only, or does it have 4-player?
    Anuj_Kumar1
    Community Answer
    It is only for two players. Also, on PC the second player will only work if you attach an additional controller along with the keyboard. (A single keyboard will not allow you to play 2-player mode.)
