eh, possibly, but hydroponics are not that efficient, or at least in my experience. And i I wouldn't use them instead of normal farming.

Just a random idea that popped into my head. So in real life if you farm too much on one spot of land then the nutrients in the soil will be used up and later plants will find it harder to grow. This could work really well and add a bit more depth into farming, as you can just farm endlessly on one bit of soil. Ofcourse there needs to be a way to counteract this as this would just make things less fun. Manure! This adds another use to animals and some poo could be more fertile than another or something. Because usually you just end up killing the animals you don't need but this is a bit of incentive to keep them. My thoughts on how this would work is the ground has a few fertile points (IDK what to call them), fertile soil having more. And each time a crop is farmed off it, it goes down by one or however much. The dirt can get slightly greyer as the fertility is lost. But can be replenished by manure, could be collected and stored by a colonist or something I don't know.
So hope you like it!

I've actually had a thought about this before, I think a server with a limit of people on the same planet that are all can be against each other or friends  and attack each other, trade and all the other stuff you do with npc colonies. When you are offline then your pawns walk around but have no needs and defend as npc's if attacked. I don't think a public server would work well for this because people would not reliably be online etc but with friends in a private server would be really fun. These are just my thoughts though

So a muffalo went mad and attacked a tribal caravan that was in my area, it attacked one guy with level 0 shooting and a Great Bow (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1143083576). AND HE ONE SHOT THE FRICKING MUFFALO! All that the muffalo received was a cut in the head, a crack in the skull and it's brain destroyed (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1143085633), can someone please tell me the chances of this happening because I am amazed!
