Mechs and creature taming/pets?

[Shadow Wolf]

Are the any plans to add features like creature taming and a capability to construct mechs, not for combat but for faster construction, and resource collection? I feel this could benefit the game and add an additional layer of creativity. And creature taming for those who just want a lot of amazing unique creatures to follow them around all the time and perhaps assist the player in some way? I personally, would be highly interested in such mechanics, and was curious if anyone else here would be too. More Flora and Fauna (friendly and deadly) could be an interesting add too I think.

I mean, construction is already instantaneous, and resource collection is automated...

Taming more creatures... Eh, no opinion really. Not really sure how tamed creatures could be of assistance more than what you can already do with the lizard doggos and finding random stuff. I guess maybe defending you while you explore, but I feel like there's plenty of ways to do that yourself already.

Creature "taming" is in the game if you consider feeding those bird lizards a berry and petting it.

In the end though this is a factory logistics game, not a combat game or pet raising simulator. No mechs, no creatures. In fact all the fauna in the game right now, that is pretty much all you're ever going to see ever.

The devs are not interested in taking it in that direction, and nobody in the "core community
of the game wants that, all they want is a factory supply line game, and they active oppose anyone who bring sit up, expect one of them to show up and shoot you down any moment now.

They don't want to add tower defense, base destruction, army creation, or combat in it anymore than it already is.

yeah if you started out in a mech for getting the ball rolling? maybe a mining arm and a punch attack. but there is nothing broken with the way it plays right now.

just think of your initial character as a mech. that's why the wildlife isn't all that big. it's because you are in a large mech already.
