Spicing up Genetics.

[Kotlol]

I think it would be kind of cool (especially on an ice planet map) if there were frozen gene samples you could find while exploring that you could then send to genetics.

Could be that mining also finds "samples" in certain asteriods. Just like artifacts.
The only difference is this will add thing to do with mining to capture those samples and such...

And it would just be "artifact research genetics" if we do that route even if it's the most logical one.
In my opinion?
There is an old feature on cargo that has you request medical stuff on the console.. uuh some sort of "request" seperate from buying supplies.
That could be a way to make samples appear and then when you find out what it is.. send the research back for extra money for both genetics and cargo.
