New feature for Rancher “Gene,Food,Spatial interdicator”

[meaow589]

This post was suggest some idea for rancher include
-Gene chicken 
allow to do gene research on chicken for unlock some benefit like buff / breed decoration. make rancher interact with Genetic department.
-Food 
add some chemical to supplement for helping chicken more effective
such as use pure love for make chicken happy. sugar increase growth rate 
for upgrade chicken.
- Normally every ranch have anti anomaly machine allow to upgrade it for benefit chicken should be nice such as make chicken less hungry.

This is actually pretty cool. I only just learned about the fact that geneticists can do genes on animals - applying certain human genes to them for resilience (which i think can technically be done already, not sure) - as well as "chicken genes", that might be interesting

As a potential example, maybe there could a chicken gene of "Needs less of a certain type of food to evolve to the next stage", or, "Effects from eggs laid by this one chicken will last longer", or "This chicken gains happiness faster", or "This chicken does not lose all happiness from being overfed"

Would need a bit more fleshing out, but it sounds like something for the genetics department to do! A reason to get out of their office (go and ask the rancher for chickens, if the rancher does not come to them)

And, and, and, the genes of a chicken could be passed down to their offspring. Actual "genetics"

Would be cool to hear what others think

Had some more thoughts.

I can't comment on the other things except for the chicken supplements:

To my knowledge, adding drugs to chicken feed (in the actual produce/meat used for the feed) actually already make happiness go up faster.

But it's still not the greatest, because I remember once making a super-spliced rice (brown chicken fave food) with every drug imaginable + sugar, fed brown chickens all round, pet them, never overfed them, and I still didn't get the elusive Golden Chicken.

I really think that encouraging Genetics to assist the Ranchers in some way could make both Genetics and Ranching slightly more interesting, and easier for the Rancher, depending on what they are doing.

Actual chicken genes may have to be a separate thread

Two options I thought of which are more concrete, for genetics/rancher cooperation:
- Gene booths could allow chickens, and there would be a separate menu for chicken genes (um, I don't know if the chicken mutrace would be allowed to take those genes? maybe it would be funny?)
(this would require the gene booth to either be scanned and built near Ranch, or, the Rancher walks over to the initial booth)

- Custom injectors for chickens (could either allow for injection of a gene multiple times, OR, multiple genes could be packed into one injector)

thankyou for your feedback jimbo

[cheekybrdy]

I actually like the gene chicken idea, although I don't see how they can justify replacing monkeys and all the interaction hassle in the current proposal, maybe they are all weakened by default to double gains, I guess you COULD put the chicken man gene on them but that barely justifies the whole process for 1 gene, seeing how locked into that 1 path the rancher is for something the geneticist uses once.

A gene that let's you throw eggs at people

[Egregorious]

Intersecting ranch and genetics is a really good idea, critters have been gene-compliant for a while I'm pretty sure. Hiding genes in specific chickens would be interesting, or having chickens that evolve because they have a specific gene.

How about a gene that lets people lay eggs corresponding to the chicken the gene is from. You could have one of those genes for each chicken type, that only spawns in those specific chickens. A long enough cooldown is probably enough to not make the rancher obsolete. Make it activate on fart.

Does this mean my eggs are GMO!?

I do wish there was some streamlined way for ranchers and geneticists to communicate and send stuff between them, it could open up more things in the future but right now it could be really good for things like erebite chickens, which die in childhood if you don't give them rad resist. They'll probably die still, but yknow.

interesting that u mention some specific gene that necessary for survival 
make some breed of chicken have to work together!
