Proto Vine

Spawning
The Proto Vine spawns in the Protolife Biome. It has the same name as the item it drops protovine but has an blank space in between Proto and Vine.

Rarity
The Proto Vine is the second vine to be found in the Protolife Biome. It's rarity is common. and seems to grow a lot easily on the surface of the biome or where the background is missing in the underground.

Mining
The Proto Vine being a vine growing mostly on early game tiles, the mining is very easy. You have two possibilites here :
 * Destroy the tile where it spawns from with a laser pick.
 * This method is way faster but gives less items.
 * Cut it with a laser saw.
 * This method is slower than the first one but gives a lot more ressources.

Experience
The experience received from cutting the hangvine is 5XP. Each section of the vine gives 5XP which means that you could get more experience points from a longer vine if you cut little bits of it everytime.

Drops

 * ~ 2-10 Protovine
 * ~ 2-5 Protoroots

Bugs
(Same for every vine in Edge Of Space)
 * Apparently, cutting the hangvine gives the same amount of EXP than destroying the tile it comes froms (See the Mining section above). The hangvine itself gives 5EXP when cutting it with a laser saw, meaning that destroying the tile where the vine spawns from should give the tile EXP added to the vine EXP. It should be 10EXP when you destroy the tile.
 * (bug ?) Cutting bits of the vine gives 5EXP each time you get ressources, which means you could get at least 15 or 25 EXP by cutting it piece after piece.
