Sick new facility idea

Take the replicant center, make it produce negative 10M people per turn, and have it produce 10,000 organics

Requires advanced racial trait "Cannibalism"

have you been watching solvent green again?

"solvent green is people!"

That would be cool. But it might be smarter to have it activated the same way you activate the resource converter.

Rules? What Rules?

Haha - nice idea. Anyone familiar with the old Judge Dredd comics? (NOT the crap film)

In Mega City One resources were so scarce that the deceased were shipped off to Resyk, where a huge machines took them apart bit by bit and reclaimed all their minerals & organic material. I think some of it did end up as food.

Perhaps this could be implemented as a facility which generates organics / minerals but lowers happiness. (because ppl can't resepct their burial rituals.)

Could the production output be affected by population? (ie large pop= more dead bodies= higher output)

solvent green was an old b movie. In this movie-- To control the population and due to lack of food the city of new york (i think) starts feeding the people solvent green. It turns out that they are going around with garbage trucks and gathering up the homeless,rioters, crimals, etc and converting them to solvent green.
You can find this movie in the old/classic section of blockbuster (might have to blow the dust off it.) Or sometimes they show it on the scifi station. Not sure what year it was filmed but it is in black and white.

Sounds like a good film. I remember another Dredd storyline where an entrpreneur (Otto Sump) found a way of turning raw sewage into a healthy foodstuff.

It was really popular until ppl realised what it was made of and then there was outcry. In the end the judges had to ban it, which was funny because it was the first honest, well meaning business idea Sump had ever had.

Of course the judges just produced it themselves and relabelled it and to solve the food shortages...

*new .sig coming soon*
