So you have a colony size 6, great farms or with a fuel production and you don't use all that poop being generated.

I know it sounds strange but even in the days of today great nations use this resource to help maintain themselves.

There should be industries that convert poop into compost, fuel or energy (I know the latter is not a feature in the game).

Increasing the productivity of planets with large populations.

And planets should have the ability to specialize in something even if they're good at a lot of things.

For example a planet with good farms and good ores, the player should be able to choose one (with the choice of a building) and get more resources from one than the other) without the need to have rare equipment (of course with less production capacity, than with one of these items, eg soil nanites).

Well these are just ideas, great game with great potential, thanks for your time.

Just make a Biowaste Recycler item for Population And Infrastructure.

I'm in favor of this just to get a poop commodity icon.

C'mon, David, you know you want to.

Will poop emoji become Starsector canon?

Fertilizer is now a demand for Farming, and is produced by Sewage Treatment, an industry found on all size 7+ planets

Good idea, it could generate a +1 bonus (or even more if you consider the population level) to productivity for farming and fuels.

It would be fun to have poop emoji, or a symbol like organics but brown.

Starsector fuel is antimatter-based, millions of time more energy density than chemical fuels, but the poop could reduce organics demand from Light Industry.

There could be ships that absorb the storms and convert them into fuel or even create blockages in jumpoints, that would be interesting.

guys hear me out here, "saturation bombardment" with this stuff causing toxic effects like pollution...and the idea of getting rich selling literal *** is hilarious huh had an ideer..

Dunno, game could prolly use a few more non-Industry buildings for every settlement.  Like obviously a bar, since player can literally visit a bar at every colony they visit.  But some sort of Biowaste Recycler building is the sort of necessary tax that a player would have to pay in order to increase colony size above 4 (and maybe upgrade it to get to 6).  And some sort of admin building comes automatically free, but has to be upgraded in order to grow, perhaps (but gives some stability as tradeoff).  I'm not advocating for any amount of colony micromanagement, but the lack of some buildings seems to stretch the abstraction to an unnecessary degree.  Like a lack of any sort of colony power generation seems almost criminal, especially since seems like the perfect sort of thing to go find a few different unique object to upgrade/swap with.  Not saying it needs to be added, but seems odd at a minimum.
