Token-Burn Breeding
Burn in game tokens (deflationary to $RAKS) to engage breeding, resulting in retention of both parent plants as well as their enhanced offspring in your collection (inflationary to Strains).
A player can burn $RAKS to breed two parents to yield an additional child.
As in real life, breeding in more advanced and polyhybridized genetics advances diminishing marginal returns. Thus, breeding in the later stages of progression becomes more difficult and advances trait progression in smaller marginal increments
