Craigjw Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Why is there no option to feed Drecko's from the Critter Feeder? Drecko's eat Mealwood, Pepperplant or Balm Lily, and also Bristle for the Glossy. We have the option to feed other critters these foods, so why not the Drecko's, they are Critters and they require food, which is what the Critter Feeder is intended for is it not? My Drecko's are asking for equal rights, to be treated equally and fairly amongst the Critter population without the discrimination.

Sasza22 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yes, we should be able to plant mealwood in the critter feeders. And put feeders upside down for pepperplants. It would look pretty funny. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/95700-drecko-discrimination/#findComment-1085897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xFADE Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 There are less time intensive ways to get reed fiber and plastic. If it wasn’t more complex would it be worth doing? Ive got several chlorine rooms filled with balm lily and wild drecko for passive phosphorite.

Once you have all the sub-systems and cooling solution in place, the Polymer Press is a much much faster source of Plastic. But that requires a significantly larger input of time, resources, space, and planning than setting up a Drecko Ranch. Pros and cons.

I just find that refining the oil and more so, dealing with the heat to not be worth it. Much simpler just to ranch a few glossies and collect the nearly free plastic plus meat.

I love that you can go 2 different paths for getting advanced materials in the game. Either full industrial with automation and heat production or more ecological using critters and more worktime of dupes. We just need a supercritter that produces steel and we can go for a fully biological colony.

I'd rather have a critter that's on fire. With the downside being...well it's on fire. Think Extra Adorable Larvae from DST. Produces warmth, light, but catches things on fire, and needs to be fed ashes otherwise it'll burn your stuff for food...or die. If it dies it'll just drop more regolith. Why? Because: Spoiler WE!

Lots of steel and everyone is happy Well kinda. But i meant a creature that can produce limited amount of steel without the need for the industrial infrastructure. This way you could go full bio but the tradeoff would be it requiring more attention and a complicated setup. Industrial would be faster and more efficient but produce more waste and heat.
