Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

I know this is a daft idea but i have a bizarre sense of humour.

From the little I have perused modding, it appears for farms that you can define livestock and connect to a manufacturing process where you can define what is produced- frozen meat, leather etc.

What I would like is the ability to connect TWO livestock to a manufacturing process and that process would cross breed those two animals to create a new animal. It doesn't look like the ability is there to do that currently. Could have some real modding fun and a laugh. The new animals could also have their own things to produce.

I tried selling cattle from a farm to be able to buy them at a factory to perhaps do a mod via a factory. No go! Would the developers consider the ability to be able to sell animals from the farm? This opens another possibility, being able to build a farmers market. Farmers often meet to sell their various surplus livestock to other farmers.

UPDATE: Have now created 0.1 of my cross breeding mod. You can create Prime livestock now on farms. NB: Only pigs can produce leather now. I needed that third processing slot for prime livestock.
I wish to upload it but it will only allow me 10MB, and it is about 11.

I've thought about this some more and I think to create livestock for selling under the current limitations, we could simply create a new manufacturing product for each livestock, which would be a prime version for the livestock which could then be sold at a farmer's market. So cattle could produce prime cattle etc.

The prime livestock could then also be used in a factory for cross-breeding, by connecting two different types of prime livestock, creating exotic animals also for sale and/or to produce their own products.

If I go ahead with this, I will probably create two new product types - Prime Livestock and Exotic Animals.

On further inspection I have noticed that we are limited to 3 products from each livestock. However 3 of the 4 standard livestock all produce leather. I could limit that to pigs giving a free third slot for all the livestock to produce their prime version.

It is on an online web storage.
