So the Endeavor has bio-domes. What will be the point of farming? And will there be bacon farming?asked by Captain Awesome
TL;DRBiodomes would let players grow crops, possibly ones they couldn't grow on planets, to sell at a premium; livestock like bacon farming is unlikely at first but might come longer term.
Well the point of farming will be the biodomes will allow you to grow agriculture, crops and you'll be able to sell those probably for a premium. So the idea would be bio-domes on the Endeavour are growing things you couldn't necessarily grow on a planet. Then you can maybe sell for a premium, whatever it will be. I'm sure lots of people will go "Space weed!". But there'll be plenty of other things too.So it's a sort of farming mechanic so you would have that in space. You would maintain it like perhaps you would have to take the, your ship would have to be a certain distance from the local system star or you may have to fend for it make sure it's grown in perhaps the lower gravity setup, makes you able to grow a better strain of whatever it would be: wheat, etc. So there you go.I don't know about bacon farming. Bacon farming I'm guessing is: ok we're going to have pigs or cows or something like that. I would think at some point we may do livestock but I would definitely say in the first iteration or two we probably won't do it just 'cause of the issues of: ok now i've got a bio-dome full of 20 cows or something. But longer term we may but short term it will probably be much more vegetation or plant based, that you would have to farm. Farm, so a little Farmville so to speak.
