Do sporechid seeds generate zombie spores too?

[Calura]

Trying to find out if the seeds generate the zombie spores, or just the plants themselves. I want to collect a lot of them to get the biobot builder going with potted Sporechids. But I don't want to uncover the seeds by digging through all of the oil fields if I have to rely on these slow duplicants to get around to storing and/or planting them.

Once I have them all stored next to the box that will contain them (and the CO2) I am confident I can get one or two to plant them on a yellow alert and GTFO to seal the area before they get infected. But I'm only confident in doing this if I can gather them all up over time and store them right next to the CO2 box. The two inside of the storage container in the Biobot building area are close enough to do this anyway. The rest are not.

The seeds don't produce spores, only the plants do. Atmosuits should protect your dupes while you plant them. The only real danger are pre-existing pockets and, more importantly, pips getting to a seed (or a storage bin containing one) and doing their thing.

You can split and regrow them with a machine.
