Please consider survival way for vegans as well!

Game seems intriguing and I up to try it when it will be released, but I'm vegan and I don't want to hurt even virtual animals or fishes.

Sadly fishing is required in order to craft some items but overall the developers said that they are not planning on adding the option to hunt animals for food. Your main source of food for now is mushrooms, berries and beets.

You do realize that most video games have you killing virtual people, right? Hopefully you aren't playing any of them either.

You might want to give up on survival games, along with the RPGs, FPSs, stealth, RTS, etc. that you can't play. Better stick with Tetris and Pac-Man (whoops, scratch pac-man, he eats ghosts).

It's kind of you to be concerned OP but you're OK. It's perfectly fine to be vegan and kill/eat animals in games.

Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.

Even the most sophisticated AI animal is only a simulation of a living creature. All you are doing when you kill them is changing some numbers in a database. Since there is no real suffering there is no problem.

You do realize...dumb vegans eat living stuff....people that buy into that "dont kill animals" crap is a lie. ANY VEGETABLE OR GROWN FOOD, which means it is alive..........ANYTHING YOU EAT IS GROWN, EVEN TREE BARK. Only thing vegans can eat are rocks, dirt, sand.....vegans living a lie lol they need better education. I bet half are rioting losers

If you would actually have a brain size of the size of at least a bean, you would know vegans don't use ANIMAL products. Is nothing about living or not living. You are an uneducated and ingnorant child. Now your direction is back to school bench !!

As a fellow vegan, honestly, I don't think it's super realistic to survive in the wild sticking to a vegan diet. I suppose it's conceivable if you had an intimate knowledge of herbs, nuts, and mushrooms, but you would have to prioritize establishing some kind of agricultural production as soon as possible. And considering agricuture in survival games tends to be a mid-late game thing, you may need to murder a virtual fish or two before you got there.

Actually, veganism isn't simply about killing animals. It is a philosophy in general. Being opposed to the exploitation of animals is much larger than simply eating a hamburger as opposed to a vegetable. There are people who are opposed to killing virtual people in video games, as it promotes the IDEA of murder, real or not. In many of those cases they are concerned as to whether they are desensitizing their children to cruelty toward other humans.

The OP has a point, of course. Take a game like Rapelay, where the protagonist's primary activity is raping a woman and her two teenage daughters in retaliation for her testifying against him. There are many people who have a problem with that. Or theoretically a game where you might play a NAZI officer in charge of killing people in a concentration camp. There is no such game so far as I know, I am only making a allusion to a concept. If the OP feels strongly about the moral implications of a game of this type, he should refrain from playing it. I see no problem with that. But I doubt the devs are going to make a vegan version of the game for only a handful of gamers.

Hey so I'm playing the non-egs version of the game a bit right now, and so far I've made it eight days without needing to murder any of the local fauna. There's an abundance of mushrooms, berries, and beets, and it doesn't take too long to build the kitchen expansion to the house and raise food efficiency even further.

So not only are plant-based foods plentiful from what I'm seeing, but my house storage is also piled high with stacks of mushrooms and beets that I can't cook fast enough to keep up with hunger decay.

If my character cannot fish and hunt, I won't be buying this game. I'm fine with there being a way to play for Vegans, but don't force *me* to follow that path.

Opinions, dude. I don't think Steam is the place to start a fight.

[Enderkatze]

the ratio of people hating on eachother for being vegan/eating meat compared to comments about the game itself is concerning.
but since I have nothing better to do, I shall throw my two cents into the ring while I'm at it.
Personally, I think the Idea of veganism where hurting any animal is forbidden is rather ridiculous, since nature itself goes against this Idea, but I do see where more 'moderate' vegans are coming from seeing as the conditions in many meat/animal produce factories/farms are quite frankly abhorrent for the animals. Sadly, products confirmed to be made without violence are more expensive, and in addiation with my current bodyweight, I couldn't afford to follow a vegan or even vegetarian path money-wise, or health-wise.
On the point of veganism even within games, that's frankly ridiculous to me, since it's code, and this game takes a bit more of a vibrant, rather than realistic artstyle, which helps dissociating these animals from the ones IRL in any case.

Please don't add nonsense like this.
