Re: Space Food Empires!
Trust me, that's not insane. I'm kind of an expert on insane or not. Insane is when you start tapping nearby objects constantly because you think it'll give you good luck.

Re: Space Food Empires!
OK then, maybe you could explain... I thought pumpkins were fat-free, so why do they have Hyper-Lipid drives?

Ah. Pumpkins may not be composed of fat, but they certainly can utilize fats for propulsion.
The propulsion system itself is interesting and is more or less based on actually catabolic effenciency. Proteins and Carbs produce about the same amount of energy per gram, but proteins generate more "pollution", hence why proteins are the lowest available engine. Carbs are plentiful and easily broken down so I made them the most extensive engine available. Fats provide lots of energy per gram so I made them the top of the propulsion tree. |

I don't suppose you won't make an "Atkin's Diet" racial trait?

Don't even get me started on the silliness of the Atkins diet and the current low carb craze. 
-----
I should be posting an update tomorrow with more of the weapons listed, updates to some of the components, and adding the facilities listing.
-----
If you are short on browsing time, I recommend reading just the features page - that summarizes most of the major ideas incorporated into the mod. |
