Carnivore achievement workaround when starting with bionic Duplicants?

[SquidCake]

Bionic Duplicants can't eat meat (and thus can't contribute towards the Carnivore achievement), so players doing all-achievement runs will be strongly discouraged from printing bionic Duplicants for the first hundred cycles. I was wondering if a workaround could be implemented so that players could start with bionic Duplicants without fear of losing out on Carnivore?

It just makes the challenge a bit harder IMO, and your entire colony does not have to be bionics even if you start with 3 bionics. They can still help set up the food production ranching etc. that you never have anyway for some cycles and then you print enough "organics" (not sure genetic ooze counts as organic...) to eat the meat. If they don't contribute, then print more dupes to eat the meat, or use hardest settings to have dupes eat 2x the amount of meat.

There hasn't been anything new to an all achievement run for quite a while, the first 100 cycles have been more or less the same boring stuff, I'm happy that there is an additional quirk to it with 3x bionics as starting dupes.

Doing an all achievement run is a choice, not an obligation. You can choose to do it the good old way, or you can choose to do it with some bionics in the mix and take on the extra challenge, or you can choose to not do it at all.

I would prefer if they don't try to implement a workaround at all, at least not for a while. The beta has been out for less than 1 day. I'd say it's probably a good idea to give it some time and try it before asking for a solution to a problem that might not be a problem at all.

5 dupes starting at cycle 60 on ravenous difficulty is enough to get carnivore. You should be able to set up critter infrastructure with your robo pals for carnivore even if you initially start with all bionics. The dupes can be upgraded to tasteful memorials after you get the achievement.
