just throwin it out there...

croxis · « **Reply #1 on:** July 24, 2006, 12:03:11 AM »

No.

Why?

There is no need.

The fight for survival is enough of a story in and of itself.

omagaalpha · « **Reply #2 on:** July 24, 2006, 11:57:36 AM »

Agreed with crocis, there no need for it.
Like to keep this part game like real life.

lol, we don't need to answer the questions involving life on other worlds, the spicies has extinction issues of it's own to focus on.

But on a related topic, why didn't the colonists from earth save other spicies as well?

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #4 on:** July 25, 2006, 12:12:08 AM »

because they didnt have the time and they take up to much space and the game didnt need to mimic Noahs arch

omagaalpha · « **Reply #5 on:** July 25, 2006, 12:41:33 PM »

maynot have all animal with them but did brings some like pigs and cows I imaged.

Tramis · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2006, 01:41:11 PM »

These animals would need to be able to run around free, they wouldnt last long in captivity, and you can imagine how long they'd last outside in teh world.

Sirbomber · « **Reply #7 on:** July 25, 2006, 02:31:52 PM »

I'm sure they're tucked away somewhere in one of the Gene Banks.
They just don't have the resources to do anything about it.

omagaalpha · « **Reply #8 on:** July 25, 2006, 02:41:51 PM »

all need dna creature thats it, then they grow them when safefly land and start colony on planet.

Tramis · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2006, 12:39:42 PM »

then why didnt they? Clone a few dogs for people, or cats? Or build a few cows to farm? There could be a cattle farm structure, a... beefidome? Lol

My point is, if they had animal DNA in the gene bank, they probably would have used it. Also, they had the Human DNA because they finished the Human Genome Project a few years before leaving earth, how many animals would they have had knowledge of a complete genome for?

Sirbomber · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2006, 12:44:05 PM »

I already told you why they didn't clone animals.
They don't have the time or resources to waste on pets for people.
Besides, you wouldn't want to have leave your dog behind to get eaten by the Blight, would you? No.

omagaalpha · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2006, 01:59:46 PM »

Actual before human gnome project they had of few animals with complete gnome of them too since do lot less gene to isolate

Reason did not use in outpost2 is as sirbomber said bright, they constantly keep move around to get away bright so more to worry about like survivaly then to have animal run around.

CK9 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2006, 03:18:31 PM »

Lol, I love these "what if" type discusions, they can sometimes lead people to som ideas they didn't know they had before

omagaalpha · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2006, 03:26:13 PM »

hehehe yea that fun when idea come out for them.

Betaray · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2006, 03:29:55 PM »

why not have a meat building in op3, it would provide food and would raise morale, but would lower morale if built close to the residences (the stench lol)

omagaalpha · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2006, 03:46:36 PM »

builds enclosed and doors so it would not lower morale. Though think eden would have this since at lest outpost 2 want make like earth. Plemothy try live with the planet so tyicaly would not.

Sirbomber · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2006, 04:29:19 PM »

Somehow I don't think slaughtering animals would be a big morale boost for the colonists. They all strike me as vegetarians.

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2006, 06:23:29 PM »

Do you know how big a Cattle Ranch building would have to be? IT WOULD BE f***ING HUGE. Live stock have to move you can just pin them up. And the power and food requirments would be insane. They cant run around outside because livestock wouldnt really like Rocksuits and there would be no way to feed them in the suits with out it leaking its atmo.

gamerscd0 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 28, 2006, 01:38:12 PM »

lol this is a funny idea i dont think this would work very well because all the other storys never said anything about anamails and the game is saposed o fallow and continue the story. :op2: :op2:

Skydock Command · « **Reply #19 on:** September 16, 2006, 09:56:07 AM »

The farm building is a super bad idea, and like Fresa said it would be HUGE. it would be like 4 advanced labs. I think in outpost 3 they could have pets maby becase I havent read anywhere that there will be blight in OP3.

Betaray · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2006, 10:43:23 AM »

the people will demand steak!!

the large animals yes would be a problem, but small animals like rabbits would be perfect for people to get the taste of meat they want

they are small, don't require a lot of space, have high quality meat, and reproduce rapidly

that is what is thought would be the fresh meat component on a mars mission, they would have a small green house and a rabbit pen, and would eat a combination of fresh meat and vegetables and prepacked food from earth

so I could think an agradome could have a small corner where it would have a rabbit hut or something, game play wise it would not affect it at all

Skydock Command · « **Reply #21 on:** September 16, 2006, 12:36:14 PM »

You realy think that some how if that was true, that you would eat a rabbit burgger? If I were them to me thats a morale drop. Thats just discusting! Rabbit Burggers? If I found out I was eatting a rabbit I would barf. (thumbsdown)

Maby they could just sthinthosize meat? Like they could call it Sintho-Steak. Id eat that.

Betaray · « **Reply #22 on:** September 16, 2006, 01:10:35 PM »

ive eaten rabbit, its not that bad, I would defonatly perfer it over some tofu substitute

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #23 on:** September 16, 2006, 02:40:58 PM »

i dont think they would eat some thing as bad as tofu (because tofu doesnt have any thing in it to really keep you alive) Veggies is what i see. And remember A few rabits in a pin you cant be serious. Chicken Farms are f***ing huge and there is a reason for that. Even tho the population is alot smaller then say earth but you cant just have one to one you have to have one to three because if every one eats one then there is nothing left to eat. You wouldnt even want to do fish because of the water requirements. Colony life would be that of minimalists. No meats just beans and salads maybe some breads.

Skydock Command · « **Reply #24 on:** September 16, 2006, 03:00:07 PM »

I always thought that they eat soy stuff and nut for protien. Why do they need a animal farm?
