Farmable and Greenhousable environment

One of the biggest things that you need on or in a planet is a sustainable biome, where you can live off what you have and then give back to the environment. So I was thinking the ability to farm the lands or at least cultivate part of the land for yourself.

The farm could be for whatever, it could be:

• An animal(or creature, alien, foreign specimen) farm; where you see how the creatures live and behaviour, studying and researching them and sorts, and if need be for food, they can be harvested and then turned into food. To make the food, the creature must first be studied to make sure that it is edible and doesn't harm our bodies, and then after it is safe, it can be prepared and cooked and then finally served.
  (Obviously the studying and research of the creature only needs to be done once to register it into a logbook of sort)
• A vegetation farm; this is obviously where you harvest the seeds(or the alien equivalent), and then plant them into your own farm, and then they can once again be researched, to form new things, like antidotes, serums, etc. Obviously the planet will automatically grow back it's own, after the harvest it, but this can be done for your own needs and studies. Once again, if researched and studied correctly they could even be prepared as food...maybe for you fictional vegetarians...
  (Once again, the studied information is logged and can be shared or used in the future)

As for greenhouses, this would be an excellent thing to have, especially if you want to study or research specific plants/vegetation which requires a more specific environment to grow and develop. But for the greenhouse, it must be fitted appropriately, or the plants/vegetation will not cope and die. And with this idea, we can bring in foreign plants/vegetation, into the planet so that it can be studied off-world.

Well that is my idea, if you have any feedback, criticisms, or extra ideas to add on feel free to comment.

Thanks for reading, ENJOY!

 

Always remembering that such kind of facilities must be properly isolated of outside, in case of being in other planet. Planets usually have a stable ecossystem, and a being of other planet able to survive there can easily change the whole equillibrium, bringing extinction and even serious changes.

Example: A small rat that eats grass and other plants is taken to a beach-like planet. Without predators, it easily goes through most of the flora that hold the sand in place and so, soon you have a OCEAN-like planet...

The best and safest way to do it so is simply making it in space, perhaps in your own station. Even so, care must always be taken against a biohazard scenario.

 

Yeah I know what you mean. But it would be interesting to see what happens. Thanks for yur input.

 

OF COURSE IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE IT!

 

Mhmm, biologically engineered disasters? Terraforming occurring by merely introducing a new species to a planet? I like that. This suggestion is now perfect.

 

This sounds like sandbox science.
I have yet to see it implemented yet in even a mod so i support.

 

sandbox science? sounds incredibly tempting...

 

Terraforming and disasters are always fun to mess have in games. Thanks for the compliments.

It does sound awesome doesn't it. Can not wait to see why happens.

 

I see flora and fauna as both important to an ecosystem, can't have one without the other and have a balance ecosystem. The fauna provide complex and quicker chemical reactions via their quicker metabolism, and can respond much more quickly to environmental changes than flora. Flora provide energy from the sun and converts non-bioactive materials into useable vitamins and minerals for the fauna to metabolize. The flora also recycle the waste of the fauna, so both flora and fauna feed each other. On Earth flora and fauna together also provide the O2/CO2 cycle, fauna breath out CO2, flora breathes it in, flora breathes out O2, fauna breathes it in.

 

This just got real! But yeah seriously the addition of these details would make the game more fun. Just the added thought is needed when doing these things and the consequences of your actions. I appreciate the input

 

I would definitely want have a farm!

 

Oh man understood dude. Farms are awesome!!!

 

I like the idea of caging creatures and torturi- I mean researching them.

 

Sure you don't mean torture?

 

Yes it is a fun concept right? I appreciate the input mate. Being able to keep animals for tortu...I mean research is great right?

Yes...research *looks left and right suspiciously*...definitely research, hahaha!

 

Hard to say. Technically I think I'd want all three.

 

I think that would be an awsome idea too like be able to abduct specemins and take them back to your homewolrd and reproduce them and like make a zoo with different fuana and alien species.

 

Thanks dude, I appreciate the compliment! Yeah it would be fun to have a variety of animals and aliens, and with zoo thing, you are sort of like an evil genius who collects animals and rare specimens.

 

I think that you shouldn't have to harvest you plants manually. Maybe you could appoint a farmer NPC to handle the farm for you, then you could just drop by once and a while and pick up the crops.

 

That sounds good, but then again, that would make you lazy and never want to farm just let the NPC do it. But I think maybe a design of a crop harvester...maybe...but thanks for the input mate
