Epic looking fantasy RPG 'Edge Of Eternity' still plans a Linux release, not soon though

So its NOT a MMO right? I don't mind multiplayer like Outward does it but I hate huge MMO RPG, ruins the atmosphere and often results in significant single player sacrifices! (and subs)

UNIGINE recently updated the Superposition benchmark tool with free VR support, Linux VR supported

No. Unigine is (on Linux) OpenGL only.

Terraforming isn't the only thing coming to Surviving Mars, you will also be breeding animals

I corrected it so people don't keep coming back 400 years from now telling me I'm wrong. Some articles suggested 25kg per day so there is variability depending on quality of food and breed of cow.

Quoting: ColomboWhat do you think happens with low quality corn or grain that is unsuitable for human consumption? You could throw it away, or you could sell it with a discount to animal farms.
You can make bio-fuels or turn it into fertiliser/compose also. But in reality plants would be grown via hydroponics on Mars, the martian soil is likely going to have nasties in it that kill plant growth and certainly would kill animals. (radiation anyone?)

It be a whole lot of work, likely a colony even super advanced one would stick with hydroponics and synthetic meats indefinitely. Even if by some miracle you converted the atmosphere to breathable, doesn't fix the soil.

Well in that case, yeah. I never really played the game and thought it was trying to simulate surviving colony on mars.. lol

Yeah your right I got the wrong figure. LOL way off, I thought ti was high. Anyway 25kg of dry matter, still allot when you could use that soil/land/space for growing food that can be consumed by humans directly. :)

Animals consume produce, and crap/fart allot. Now you can recycle that but you are left with a animal like cows eating ALL of your green produce, you won't be able to grow enough grass to feed them. Cows eat 100 pounds a day btw!

So compared to humans, they are insanely expensive to keep for the sake of some milk and maybe meat down the line :)

A case can be made for chickens however.

TBO animals would be a disaster, amazingly inefficient for food production, they would also eat all your plant food. We actually have synthetic alternatives even today for all that stuff which would no doubt be MUCH far along in development by the time we ever get to Mars :)

YES YES, I know its only a game, I just hope we don't get a generation of idiots thinking things like this are a good idea :/
