SPECIAL FEATURES

• Self-repairing

STRENGTHS

• Kinetic Biotech: Nenuphar is a living organism prized for its ability to rapidly self-repair and for its flexibility. It can repair minor damage within thirty minutes, while more extensive damage may take hours or days to repair - but unless it is completely destroyed, deprived of fuel, or otherwise compromised, it can bounce back no matter how serious the damage is. When used as a building material for vehicles, the rate of injury or death in a collision is lowered substantially.
• Flame Resistant: Despite being a plant, nenuphar is treated during production to make it resistant to heat and flame.
• Tightly Woven: Nenuphar benefits from being relatively light and thin, but also quite strong and durable.

WEAKNESSES

• Not Fit For Space: Do not attempt to pilot a vehicle made of nenuphar into space; it is not designed to handle a vacuum or prolonged exposure to radiation.
• Special Fuel: Nenuphar must be maintained with a special "fuel", which is basically a type of synthetic fertilizer, as well as provided with water on a regular basis in order to function optimally.
• Drying: Anything which removes moisture, such as being left in the desert on a hot day, exposure to extreme cold, or "vacuum drying", can seriously weaken the structural integrity of nenuphar.
• Winter's Bane: Exposure to extreme cold can cause nenuphar to go dormant, hardening and no longer responding to stimuli. Freezing it solid will cause it to become brittle and shatter easily.

DESCRIPTION
Nenuphar is a non-sentient biological material constructed from plant fibers, mostly those derived from the nenu, a type of vine native to Lao-mon. The nenu actually went extinct centuries ago due to overharvesting. All modern nenuphar is made synthetically using cloned samples of nenu mixed with other plant fibers and even, in some cases, insect parts for added strength.

The material is primarily used in the creation of biotechnical land and air vessels. It is prized for its ability to absorb shock and protect the occupants of the vehicle in the event of a collision or attack by a predator. It's flexible, durable, and repairs itself within a short span of time, provided it is well-maintained.

I really love it! I found a contradiction:
You write these in the strengths, and in the weaknessess:

• When used as a building material for starships and other vehicles, the rate of injury or death in a collision is lowered substantially
• Do not attempt to pilot a vehicle made of nenuphar into space; it is not designed to handle a vacuum or prolonged exposure to radiation.

Which is the accurate?
And I have a request. Please, would you describe the effectiveness of regeneration? For example, how fast is, what is it can no longer heal/fix, because it was too much damage. One or two sentences will suffice.

Whoops, fixed my mistake. As for the rate of self-repair, I added to Strengths: "It can repair minor damage within thirty minutes, while more extensive damage may take hours or days to repair - but unless it is completely destroyed, deprived of fuel, or otherwise compromised, it can eventually bounce back no matter how serious the damage is."
