Is the option to only destroy some of the plants missing ?

This is a bug - tracked with https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=106981
We did not fix it yet because it seems like very corner case, the actaul use of it as a strategry - the case above about the oxygen - the first time I hear any sort of reasonable explanantion of why you would want that

There are quite a few (really rare) situations, like:

- last gen - leaving passed opponent 14 plants, so he's forced to place his first greenery on 2 plant bonus space which is next to your city, which will grant you one extra point over every other opponent.
- leaving opponent more plants than another player because you know that the other player will play another plant removing card and you want him to still be urged to target the player you took plants from

The most common scenario (still unusual) for this is when you want to tie 2 other players for an award, e.g. Landlord. It's rare enough that I wouldn't even bother with implementing it.
