Fossils - A Cool Thing to Have

[Frank_Stein]

Those are very interesting creatures.

This seems like it's too much soley for genetics. I'd recommend adding it to either Research, or maybe some kind of offshoot of Botany, like Zoology?

Considering we have Safari gear and half the station already acts like an over excited mix of Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee, I can see it being a natural fit

It would also be cool though if elements of space zoology could still be used to compliment genetics.

For instance some space zoologist tinkering would render cool new mutations for genetics.

Since fossils are heavily dependent on mining, you could have some more variety without opening it up to every single round.

Oh for sure. I like the idea of it being a kind of Botany thing, since they produce food which lends itself naturally into raising livestock.

Plus, right now they mainly interact with:

• Kitchen - Provide ingredients
  
• Chemistry - Provide certain chems
  
• Medical - Provide certain medicinal chems
  

I think ideally, you'd have a Zoo with basic critters, mining provides fossils, genetics extracts DNA and uses it to rebuild fossil creatures, and Zoology raises the creatures and gets resources and labor from them

So I've been trying my hand at spriting these past few weeks, and it seems to be going fairly decently. As such, I thought it might be nice to make a thread to post my sprites to as they occur.

I've mostly been drawing Cambrian animals so far. At some point I will have to actually make right-facing and dead versions. The former is pretty much effortless, whereas the latter will take a little bit of time.

OP has already made some great sprites for their own idea. I really like it
