I will return to develop this mod when my current roadmap for IndEvo is done. Thank you for the suggestions!
Your Idea or rather the concept I have in my conversion of the game.
The Orc's have their "Fungus Beer" which increases combat ability, is used when ships are deployed, but recovery takes bit longer after combat.
The organic Aliens raid for minerals and population, the latter is tunred into Biomass.
(Yes .. Human or Alien Meat is available on the Blackmarket)
Lets look for a Jungle / Waterworld / Continental World
Lets assume that world has a condition "Monster Presence" or "Vast Mountain Ranges" or "Versitile Fauna".("Krakeninfested"/ "Seamonsters" / "Dinosaurs").
So one can build a "Hunting Industry" in addition. It will generate normal food too but with the occasional rare meats, or only rare meats with a low rate.
However every now and then your Agent will inform you that the "Hunting Season" begins and one can go hunting.
One should bring alot of military personal to do so, similar like a ground operation.
Of course .. this could be done in a similar fasion for the Redacted .. lets say that Industries that uses AI Cores generate "Scrap Code", every now and then, that Errors out if used.
Maybe the Redacted gets addicted to those Errors and will pay top dollar to get thos scrapcodes and "consume" them.
Or even you could add an Indstury that mutates the Fauna on a Planet to be these abhorent creatures.
PS:
Its fun to see a "Mutated Raptor" to shred through 10k Marines / 4 Dreadnoughts / 2 Warhound Titans, even thoe my winnig chance was around 99.9%.
:/ Maybe i should have never introduced Genelabs into my Planet. :/
