Just that their amount would probably be less and therefore their priorities would defer from an animal-like or humaniod race. Most of humanity society and history is built on our needs, how we dealt with them, and how we acted when some had excess.Changing the proportions of the races' requirement for life alters them greatly. What if they do stay in wet, hot areas and can remain active all day after 3-4 hours of sunning? Sunning: Plant people don’t need to sleep or eat. Instead, they can sit or lay in front of a source of bright light and absorb the light. (The Common word for such absorption is “sunning.”). While absorbing light, they dull their minds and become unconscious in order to efficiently.  After absorbing light in this way for at least 4 hours straight, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep and have gained enough nourishment for one day.Plant people can sun for more than turn than what is required to store nourishment for additional days. Fore every 4 hours after the first 4 hours of sunning, a plant person can create and store enough nourishment for an additional day to the maximum of 5 days.Tropical plant people could only starve to overpopulation and might not live in houses. They'd hunt and mine infrequently compared to temperate plant people as they'd need fewer resources. Cactusmen might never leave their oasis home entirely. Pinetreeguys might even burn bits of themselves, the dead, or rivals for warmth during the winter until someone invents the fire magic. . What about their values of resources? They might value animal waste more than gold.Would their homes have roofs? Or would they be glass? The whole house made of glass? Would wooden people be the best glassblowers?... I just realized what I just wrote.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
