Rad-proof the ranch

[Lord_earthfire]

Oughta be some kinda Rad Proof Chicken Coop they can scurry up in. Keep em safe from rad storms and varmints like Space Possum and Star Fox

Oh i love that idea. How about this concept:

A buildable tile-sized structure that hens (not roosters, because of their aggressive/defensive behaviour) flee into when damaged/scared. Once the radstorm hits, they suffer damage and try to flee into it, if ones there. They also flee inside it when scared, so like they witnessed another chicken beig attacked.

One assembly kit being accessible in each garden vendor, build by applying it to a nesting box. Disassembled by using a wrech (same as the incubator).

Chicken that fled into the coop can be released (and calmed down) by applying chicken feed to the coop. They are protected from fire, radiation or other kind of damage. Explosions destroy them, though.

The coop can hold 4 chickens at max. Chickens dying by hunger or age get ejected.

This way, you are still punished for having too many chickens by radstorms (like you should, take care of your damn roosters). But you have a way to protect ypur chickens that is readily avaible for the rancher that does preparations.

If we wanna make something funny, make the coop being able to connect with disposal pipe endings, sending the hens down the system when triggered by a mechcomp signal.

If people or devs like the idea i can make sprites for it.
