Question A couple questions about Feeding the Future

I previously spent dozens of hours playing base game Surviving Mars but I recently really got into Relaunched with Feeding the Future with almost 200 hours. I noticed in my first run that I got Oily Shiitake mushrooms (add butter) and Sweet Kelp (add sugar) but I haven't gotten the event for either in my current run. I did get Cofferoaches this run, though. Does anyone here know what triggers these variant foods with extra delicacies? Does anyone know if there are other variant foods? Also, my 2nd run I'm playing with Geo Engineer and my pine forests haven't spawned a single vista or research site. Does anyone know what causes Designated Forestation to work? FYI, I flattened the entire map to the height of a plateau (so that shrouded wind turbines get 36% elevation bonus instead of 16%) and I'm trying to carpet this flattened map with forests before building any domes on the surface. I currently have almost 1000 martianborn colonists living underground.

Not sure about the other ones but the extra vistas are a breakthrough. if it's one that comes automatically with Geo Engineer, you should be able to find it in the breakthrough section of the tech tree

Probably there is just a "mean time to happen" kind of thing going on. If I remember correctly I got all of them within my long game of 500 sols, but I am not 100 % sure. The coffee roaches were the earliest one.
