After a couple of weeks of hard work and creating a 1000+ crate stock (varied) inventory on my vendor I was thinking of ways to incoroporate some of the foods that require creature components for mass production.

I have been stearing clear of these as I will not run less than 20 crates per factory. However Im still able to offer 5 or 6varietites of higher end products and have found 3 serious Bio engineers that are keeping pace with me. After speaking with these guys and sharing concerns about creature harvesting I proposed to one of them the idea of creating a Rancher class at some point.

I believe this would add a fun new dimension to the game, make it more realistic, go along way towards solving the creature component problem, and allow us to start providing the great items that require meat, bone, hide and milk. The rancher could have skill trees in animal husbandry, butchering, tanning, dairy, etc.... . Architects could provide ranches, meat packing plants, tanneries, enclosures, etc. The produce created by the ranchers could provide the domestic or generic requirements for some of the recipes while keeping the Rangers busy with the wild varieties of these things. As it stands now the Rangers and scouts cannot keep up with the job of supplying all creature substances. Having them concentrate on wild varieties may be more reasonable.

Once more planets and planet surface area is created perhaps the same thing can be done in the creation of the Farmer for domestic types of grain. He could perhaps survey and combine samples of wild grain to create domestic strains he could beginsowing, (perhaps BE could aslo enjoy genetic manipulation with the farmer) manage silo's, acreage, farm equipment etc. Artisans could perhaps craft the tools needed and droid engineers provide farming droids.

As the game expands I believe this would be a next logical step in game evolution, development and player role immersion.

Would be great to get some response to this.
