Some "inhumane" questions.

[Yehi'Or]

What happens if I raid and kill/capture all humans in a settlement. Will they respawn? What's the merit of capturing humans as a whole? I captured a wandering merchant and use it as a quick sell and buy guy in the base, but aside from that, he is pretty useless. he is a slacker too. LOL. Is there some secret Easter eggs regarding this? (except for the steam achievements)

Like you said, nothing much as pals are running the show. : P

Also there is nothing inhumane if you catch them. They are all over the world trying to kill you and killing pals. You gave them a peaceful life to work in your base.

and if I try to breed them with pals??? Not that I will. I don't wanna go to hell. xD

They just respawn next day, and no, you cannot breed humans with pals, they just won't make eggs.

Best is just capture the Smuggler humans, because if you capture them, you can get a lot of gold, then butcher them for even more gold.

Or keep smugglers and merchants as your base shopkeepers so you don't ever need to travel to buy their goods.

I bet the stuff he sold was worth buying but you don't have the gold yet to understand how nice it is to be able to buy pal fluids, ammo and meat whenever you want.

Other than merchants to have at your base, no, there's no real reason/merit to capture humans. As base personnel go they're pretty much worse than pals in every way. The game allows capturing humans but doesn't "encourage" it per ce. Yet.
You might capture them for cosmetic purposes (build a "human village" base just have a nice little town for fun), out of spite ("how DARE you challenge me? You think you're a better Pal Tamer, huh? Well, I'll capture your Pal AND you! Hah!"), or just for kicks.
If you were lucky enough to make use of the boss capture bug way back in the day, you can use bosses for breeding, though that's their Pals and not the humans themselves. Humans aren't given genders, so it doesn't work and evenif it did that kinda seems.... off.... Devs were probably afraid if they made that a thing it could affect the game's rating.
If humans can power the defensive base armaments (mounted crossbow, machine gun, rocket launcher) you COULD make a cool human military base, but again, that's more or less cosmetic.
Personally, I'd like to see hirable NPC guards or companions at some point (maybe with their own Pals? If could create parties with NPCs and give them our well-trained/leveled Pals to use, that could be awesome, especially for solo players), but we'll have to see.

I just need my own copies of Lily and Zoe as permanent additions to my throne room waving palm fronds in my direction.

Don't tell me none of you haven't thought of this either.
