On hive planets which are over crowded with food and water really limited, do you think the hive would have plants processing their citizens own feces made into steaks? burgers? or poop burgers? are there any fluff that would support this?...water recycling on ships are common but food recycling not so...just curious as to what a normal Hive citizen eats...

Seems sensible enough. For a fantasy overcrowded hive world that is...not saying I would not be revolted at such an idea. It makes sense if Hive Worlds do such things so that their population can survive and continue duty to the Imperium]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2971962.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2971962.page GMT Recycled food, 40k people eat these? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2971970.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2971970.page GMT Re:Recycled food, 40k people eat these? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2972021.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2972021.page GMT Re:Recycled food, 40k people eat these?

it is mentioned in Dark Mechanicus that Hive Worlds have massive reclaimaters which take the waste from a hive city and process it into food and water.

the 'food' is mostly a tasteless(thank goodness) nutrient paste. It can be assumed you can buy flavored paste. the richer citizens can buy real food.



Space Marine power armor does this as a bonus feature to allow the marine to function without food for long periods.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2972419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2972419.page GMT Recycled food, 40k people eat these? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2972936.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2972936.page GMT Recycled food, 40k people eat these? It starts at the top of the spire on hive worlds with the rich eating real food. Then it starts being recycled. By the slums at the bottom, what they're taking in has been recycled several times over. I think theres mention of it on a 40k background website article, taken from an old GW source which rang a bell with me

In a Hive City it would be easier to put all organic waste into a huge tank which digested it down and squeezed out nutrient rich bacteria cells which could be dried and formed into food bars or something like that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2987605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2987605.page GMT Recycled food, 40k people eat these?

Well, yeah and no.

Remember that in "His Last Command", Gaunt executed some former Hive World Munitorum staff for rendering down dead bodies, causing a massive outbreak of disease at a forward fire base, and selling the rations earmarked for the fire base on the black market.

It's more likely that the "processed" dead bodies/waste are done in a very very very specific manner to create some kind of tasteless gruel and fed to mutants rather than the human population proper.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2990123.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2990123.page GMT Recycled food, 40k people eat these?

Nah, "corpsestarch rations", as they're called, are a staple in the Hive, though *most* people make enough money to afford better, or have children they can send out to catch rats and other vermin for some real meat. It's really only the truly desperate and destitute (which may, indeed, be mutants) that are forced to eat corpsestarch... though I do not believe it is *designed* to be fed to mutants.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2992198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2992198.page GMT Recycled food, 40k people eat these?

And like I said the processed dead bodies and waste, IF EATEN, are done very, very differently.

The biggest consumer of stuff from agricultural worlds however are Hive Worlds, so I'd say it's not all doom and gloom and soylent green.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2992233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/377714/2992233.page GMT Recycled food, 40k people eat these?
