Monster farms

Hello dear Starbounders.

We don't know much about monster spawning (and please Tyi, don't spoil it for us either), but what do you think about the possibility of monster farming?

If possible, I'll sure make some very big ones around in some planets. What about you?

 

No clue would be cool.

 

I'll be sure to milk the gentlemanly hoverslugs for plenty of milk at the good ol' dairy farm, gonna bake me some cakes!

 

I hope there'll be some way to create spawners like the ones in minecraft. No magic - just cloning machine fed a monster DNA for making arenas, training grounds etc.

 

might work the same as terraria's mechanics, monsters spawning at a certain distance away from you offscreen.

 

Actually, I think he was asking if we can breed them. I mean, being able to breed every mob in the game would be cool, as long as environmental conditions are met.

 

I'm sure monster farms will be obtainable.
Don't see why they wouldn't be

 

what exactly do you mean by "monster farming"

 

I plan on doing some creature wrangling with my clan if the Taming mechanic is as awesome as it seems like it's going to be. Monster Farming would fall under that as well I believe, making sure the creatures are in hospitable environments until they're delivered to their new owners.

Oh, and training them. What kind of monster farm would it be if I didn't train them?

 

can't wait to do some farming!!!!!!!

 

Put avians and cage them for their feathers!
They have special properties and able to regenerate their feathers quickly.
For bows you know. OR special feather hats..

 

Monster farming via cloning machines would be a good idea.

 

Where you plant monster seeds and grow yourself some monsters.

Farming is a gaming term for when people try to find ways to kill lots of monsters for the items they drop, happens all the time in gaming.

Edit: I also guess in this case he might be talking about breeding monsters.

EDIT! Maybe not he did mention spawning, so uh yeah.

 

I'm pretty sure he meant "Monster Ranches", some people consider cattle ranches animal farms.

 

To be honest I'm not quite sure what you are telling me... I was just trying to explain what farming the OP might be talking about.

 

I'm sorry, my pronoun was referring to the OP also, so actually we were both doing the same thing lol. I was saying that I think that by monster farms, he meant monster ranches, places where you raise and keep the monsters you catch.

 

Ah ok then.

 

I hope not, at least not the way it is in Terraria or Minecraft.
It's just an easy way to get some items.

 

If you can farm certain creatures for ingredients, like the milking suggestion, then that makes a lot of sense. I mean, each race has to "eat", so creating a farm to make the whole cooking process smoother would be a good meta goal for players.

Maybe have certain creatures that produce resources when tamed and fed. Like, the description could say "likes plants", and if you feed them corn, you get some special by-product from the animal.
