Synthetic meat option for Animal Feeders #50

Closed sumghai closed 2 years ago

sumghai commented 3 years ago

Describe your idea:

Dr. Bonnar noted on Steam Workshop that while most vanilla animals can eat Kibble produced by the Replimat Animal Feeder, Wargs are strictly carnivorous and therefore cannot use the Feeder.

He has proposed adding an option to switch individual Feeders to alternatively produce protein cubes or a equivalent generic synthetic meat substitute.

Why do you think your idea would be a good fit for Replimat?: To cater for Wargs and any third-party mod animals with carnivorous diets.

What alternatives/workarounds have you tried? Excluding Wargs from Feeders, which doesn't really make logical sense.

Declaration

I hereby verify that:

This feature could also be extended to providing Hay as a third option, for purely herbivorous animals.

However, allowing Hoppers to stock any raw food would add needless complexity.

Animal Feeders now have a gizmo for players to cycle through what type of animal feed to replicate, including kibble (default), hay and a new synthmeat item.
