Is everyone not edible?

[Tainted_1]

In the demo can't eat some soldiers to grow, are they resistant to biomass devouring?

They have strong manly manpants armor that the carrion can't bite through.

Thanks for the info. I guess it adds a bit of challenge for good.

I don't actually know the official reason but that's how I explain it to everyone. So don't hate on me if I'm terribly wrong.

You can't eat robots. They're defence Androids, similar to the ones from the Alien franchise. In the same way Alien can't consume Androids for HP in the Alien games, you can't devour them here.

By the sounds they make I think they are meant to be more maschine than meat.

I'm pretty sure that's just their radio picking up their pain. If they were robots or androids, why would they scream? They wouldn't feel pain then.

Or fear for that matter. Pain is a big part of screaming, but considering the circumstances I'd say that Fear is another core component of what makes a person yell incoherently.

What I'm trying to say is they're human and not robots or androids.

On which matter, you and I agree. My chiming in about fear is in agreement with you, to help cement agreement with your point.

You could make Android feel "negative conditioning stimulus" functionally identical to "pain" or "sadness" or other negative conditioning stimuli in humans. The only real difference is that it would be measured in the electronic potential of circuits rather than the electric potential of cells.

Pain is actually a very good sensation to give Androids because it helps train them to avoid dangerous situations, the exact same way reason it exists for us. If we're sending them to dangerous places we may want it muted and managable, but it should still be there to inform the droid.

And all of that is despite "rule of cool" and that even the robots screaming as you kill them makes you feel even more powerful.

Considering how many cues this game has seemingly taken from the Alien franchise, I am fully expecting them to be Androids in the same vein as the ones from that franchise.

If not though, I guess you're right xP
