Sasza22 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I`m hoping for more clothes. Aqua suit giving soggy feet/sopping wet immunity. Kevlar suit for combat in the future. Suits enhancing run speed and everything at the cost of not having the extra decor from snazzy. Also there should be more use for reed fiber. Maybe critter traps should use it instead of plastic.

psusi Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 What's wrong with composting it? It's (also) a plant product afterall. And snazzy suits and exosuits only use so many... shearing drakeoes seems to give quite a few, at least over time, and you only have to make the suits once.

TheScaryOne Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 IRL, composting requires greens (veggies) and browns (fibers). If reed fibers were easier to get at the beginning it'd make an interesting requirement.

Saturnus Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 If something is compostable then it should also decay naturally in the wild. I don't personally see a problem with it except that it will introduce more thing the scheduler needs to keep track off making us lose fps performance even faster. When the engine is better optimized I see no reason why not.

I need to get back into it... and growing fresh fruits/veggies. 12 minutes ago, Saturnus said: If something is compostable then it should also decay naturally in the wild.

When the engine is better optimized I see no reason why not. Not necessarily. As TheScaryOne mentioned, composting normally takes a mix of nitrogen ( greens ) and carbon ( browns ). The browns ( like hey or sawdust ) don't compost on their own. It's the greens that decay naturally since certain bacteria can back down excess nitrogen/amino acids anarobically for energy and release amonia and thus, stink. The areobes use the carbon sources for energy and the amino acids just to build protein.

Everything that is compostable in the game also decays naturally (barring the normal conditions for halting decay).

You could literally throw them in magma and it wouldn't affect them at all. 8 hours ago, Albryant said: I don't mind more types of clothing with specialized effects, but I would hope they introduce some sort of wardrobe system to make storing and changing clothes quick and easy. A wardrobe with automation output. Combine with a check point. You could have it at entrances to cold biomes so dupe would change to woolly sweaters before entering. Stuff like that actually be a neat addition. The automation output could be used to allow access as long as there was woolly sweaters available.

And that's basically the function here too. But instead of an airlock, it's a temperature lock. Allow access if wardrobe is not empty.
