PoB Bio-domes.

[Sparx]

I mean lot's of actual stations have bio-domes.
I was just wondering wouldn't it be pretty cool if the base models where enlarged slightly to be able to build a bio dome.
The general idea would be you would be able to use them to generate.
Food Rations/Luxury Food
And a small amount of oxygen.
For examples.

1 Bio-dome produces.
X Food rations per hour or <X Luxury food per hour.
X Oxygen per hour.

The general feel of it would be to either use a Bio-dome as a means to generate Food and Oxygen or to make it grow Luxury food (or some crop) to generate a small amount of cash not much but a bit.

I just want to see how people would feel about this and whether it's a good idea or not. I mean it's pretty balanced if you ask me.[/color]

I think adding biodome could be good for that SRP after Core 5 when bases do not need FWO any more, as mentioned in the rules on bases.

Well, even before Core 5 it would be good. I dont know if it would be possible to show it ingame, but just add it like a new module as cloak builder. And of course it would need some comodities to make people viable, like fertilizer.

More diverse things to build on PoBs is good, especially if they help make a base more self-sustaining.

I would still love it if there were refinery or processing modules that could produce more rare/expensive commodities or weapons/equipment.

+1 spoke to you about it on skype, would add a lot more to PoB's

Just adding to an issue I found. If you where to grow luxury food to sell it would need a system so that your crew eats X food first then Y food if X runs out. Or in this case the crew eats all the rations before the Luxury food.

On a side note it would open up RP if you could grow a large amount of crops in bio-domes. Imagine having an illegal base growing Cardamine in a Core system.

Synth Foods, Incorporated would just like to remind all base builders that use of the proprietary BioDome™ technology requires a one-time payment of 30.000.000 s.c to Wildkins[Bank]. In addition, Synth Foods, Incorporated will own a portion of that station dependent on the volume of the BioDome™ proportional to the entirety of the station.




but no, I really like this idea.

Well....about growing luxury food.....what would stop you from plopping a base right next to a high selling point for Luxury food and then mass producing it? I'd see that as abuse.

I'd rather bases produce NEW and unique things/equipment, not things that are already purchasable elsewhere, at least where trade commodities are concerned.

[Wildkins]

Here's an idea:

Make it so the biodomes reduce the required food / oxygen / water, but doesn't produce any new commodities? Or, perhaps, create a new commodity that can be used as food rations instead.

(synth paste 4 food commodity 2015)

Luxury food can not be created in a space station's biodomes, it needs a planet with adequate atmospehre and minerals. But oxygen and normal food rations would make sense. Also please add/create more different addons for PoBs, like a control room or mining facility addon (even if it is has no use but looks good, with use of course better).
