Food in origin system

[Trentiel]

Coffee cups?! Where?! ...I've been playing for 3+ years and I don't recall any coffee cups. I need these pointed out to me.

I also wonder. Would infested flesh would be edible after cooking. I mean, meat of some zerg in staracraft was considered pretty good by humans actually. Like Hydralisk BBQ ribs and Mutalisk wings. In some places desperate for food or even the colony from Glast's Gambit could possibly eat that.

Considering Infested Flesh also has a mix of Human flesh... If you are into that, then go for it.

It's actually not that complicated. Grineer soldiers probably sustain themselves off of a protein slurry for the most part. Refined from biomass and sometimes officers. This likely makes up the majority of a clone's food options. With some being far too mechanized, stupid or low ranking for solid food. I don't see why higher ranking, intelligent Grineer commanders wouldn't "explore the local cuisine" when subduing a colony. There are also non-combat grineer, some of whom can be considered "nobles", like the Harkonar lineage. Who own the most massive weapons industry the Grineer have. I'd bet they get to munch on some Martian oasis jellyfish dinner. 

Same for the Corpus. On deployment when you are stuck inside a combat/environment suit they too would eat mostly rations. Nutrient bars and water packets making up the majority of their diet. In a civilian setting I'd imagine it'd be very much like our current day, though more geared towards take-away and processed bars. The poorer individuals might opt for simpler and cheaper nutrient bars while those who can afford to buy the food and own an actual kitchen might buy it fresh. Hard to say because beyond that one small group of colonists we helped out with their Nef Anyo issue, we have not seen a civilian setting. 

Warframes are likely simply supplied the necessary biomass goop via a tube and a port somewhere. I would find it unlikely that frames possess any kind of a normal digestive system. Operators' diet likely consists of a nutrient paste or bar. With most of it actually supplied intravenously. I think it very likely that the operator's suit handles all kinds of functions, including supplying sustenance and taking care of any waste produced. Whatever is given to the Operators would be made special for that need that there shouldn't be any waste. 

On a related note, one thing that notes to drinking is that there are coffee cups. EVERYWHERE. Well, not everywhere. I tend to find them in Corpus frigate and outpost tiles and in the grineer Kuva fortress. Could be coffee or "Coffite! Because something like coffee, is better then no coffee at all." or optionally it'd hint that most of their food comes from a cup in a drinkable form. 

I do agree with things you have said. Also we don't know  the effects of the grinner decay on their digestive system. There is a high possibility that it's extremely degenerated as well and not able to digest normal food at all. There is also chance that grinners have been modified by orokin that they can be sustained on almost anything.

 

Also as mentioned before I would love to see cafeterias on ships and barracks. Also see some more civilian staff like cooks and general assistance. I have noticed too that, tile sets don;t contain any hospitals or med bays. Which to be honest should be included to make locations more believable. Even someone as morally degenerated as grinners, know the concept of medical assistance, on such massive ships like galleons it seems silly that there are no such structures. Moro ever, how awesome it would be in survival mission and barricade your self in a cafeteria.

Yes I am aware of that. I am not into cannibalism nor I would like to be that desperate to eat infested charger. However if is only way of survival....... this as I said make me think where mykonians take their food from.

Didnt Glast say that they are traders?

Buying foodstuffs is not far-fetched.

As far as the Tenno go... that's easy.

There is a yet unopened door in your ship and behind that door is a very old man.

That old man cooks your food, washes your clothes, does your dishes and tidies up your ship when your on a mission.

You never go see him, Ordis never mentions him, and neither Teshin or the Lotus ask how he is doing. Darvo and Clem know him professionally, he orders all his supplies through Darvo and Clem delivers. Maroo supposedly is trying to locate some Orokin china for him, if the rumors are true.

The important thing to remember though is...

That guy...

That lonely old man...

The one who takes care of you...

Who keeps your pets company...

The one who you never stop to think about...

On topic though, there is some corpus lore which mentions that some of their colonies actually grow food. It's mentioned passively in the "Anti Moa" portion of community synthesis of cephalon simaris' sanctuary:

 

Spoiler

We are heading to another survivor colony a few nodes away. They had other rare resources but more importantly, they were close enough to the sun to grow food and that was what this mission was really about.

Cant they just clone beef?  People have made cloned burgers even in this age. They tend to be to low in fat though to taste genuine.

Our alliance was discussing this a few weeks back when Synthula and Stims entered the game.

For the combat-oriented Grineer, one would think they would be habitual users of stims -- much like the documented use of meth/amph within the armed forces during WW2. Perhaps the market in this is so big that it makes up a substantial portion of Corpus trade activity, and could even be the grounds of entire invasions.

It would also not be surprising if the Tenno and their warframes were also pumped full of painkillers and stimulants to keep them operational, courtesy of Helminth.

As for something more "herbal", the single-charge Health Restore gear is crafted purely from plant scans. Though what is to say this is not also narcotic in nature.

I can see a Grineer announcement.  "Infested creatures rampage through saturn, General Sargas Ruk has stated that everything is under control they have not gotten the stims."  Speaking of stims/combat drugs/weird drugs, it would be rather interesting if Lech Krill has his cooling equipment because his body can no longer cool itself due to stim abuse and clone degeneration.

Based on other games, movies, comics and what not, I'd have to say...

Grineer: Their bodies are decaying and forced to be enhanced with mechanical components. We don't know to what degree they have been mechanized, they could need nothing else but some sort of energy core and their flesh is almost just ornamental, trying really hard to not become fully mechanized. Of course, they could also just eat like Robocop to keep the fleshy parts going. Some sort of pureed protein. Also, like the Strogg, could blend their failed clones or remains of soldiers to feed off them. It would be the most efficient way to feed an army... in a rather disgusting manner of speaking I guess.

Corpus: These are the guys that I believe could be drugged 24/7. It could be that their suits are permanent life support systems that makes them able to not need any food or water for a while. It could also be that they feed them nutrients constantly intravenously. Also, as stated before, they have money and technology. They would probably eat cloned food or extremely efficient rations of food (not unlike our military eating concentrated food especially made to be filling and nutritious without spending much time eating). I'd also see their higher ups eating actual, real meat and making a big fuss of it.

Infested: Whatever looks edible. Maybe even smaller infested.

Operators: They can eat **** and die for what I care.

Warframes: They are souless, brainless puppets. They don't need to eat. They get repaired, not fed.

I was also considering the idea of the infested being edible. We have kavats praying on them, and the idea of eating infested sounds disgusting (since they are horrendously mutated and essentially used to be human(mostly)), but I remember in Starcraft getting all these hints of people eating the Zerg. Now, there's a considerable amount of differences between the Infested and Zerg, but if kavats can eat Infested, I'm at least sort of sure some idiot Grineer/Corpus tried to eat roasted infested at least once with hilarious consequences.

[JalakBali]

Tenno: I don't think the Tenno needs to eat anymore. They have access to virtually unlimited energy from the Void. Probably one of the reasons they don't grow anymore is due to this too. They're practically immortal. Orokin rulers I thought to be immortal in the same way but all they did was body hopping.

 

Grineer: I doubt they care for cuisines. There's no benefit in engineering advanced tastebuds when your entire culture is based on war. They probably only have enough tastebuds to tell what is nutritious and what's not. So anything high with fat, protein and glucose. On the field, they would eat anything edible if rations are low. Other than standard military rations, high protein bread or crackers, dried meat jerky, etc, anything that would not spoil easily and lasts a long time, easy to carry and contains high calories.

 

Corpus: the crewmen are normal humans. But the Corpus is a capitalist cult. So their food are all processed, factory-made edibles. I doubt they'd care for actual restaurants since it's a cult for maximum profit and efficiency. So protein bars and military rations with microwave ready-to-eat meals being the luxury. Flavors would also be important though they would mostly be artificial. However, the Corpus leaders would have elaborate fancy cuisines, maybe something like braised Martian-bred genetically engineered ox sirloin braised in ponzu butter sauce sprinkled with organic Uranus salt and dried kelp. If not for the flavor then for the flaunting of their wealth and profits.

 

Infested: they're a nanotech virus. They don't really eat. They just infect more mass. They probably regenerate the host body as long as they get an energy source, which is why they're resistant to radiation. The same goes for warframes.

 

The independent colonies: similar to Corpus as they're all humans. I would say there are plenty of local cuisines depending on what materials and ingredients are available in their area. Martians would use quite a bit of the desert skates. Maybe something like barbecued skate larvae (softer and higher fat content) marinated with sweet Ruk sauce (made by fermenting Ruk's Claw seeds).

I've been looking for some recipes for food within the System, but so far this is the only place I have found that actually talks about it.
With New War, it shows your Drifter and Operator eating something like Meat cubes during the quest.

What if we just start doing some research and start building an "Origin System Recipe Book" That include many different recipes and luxury food for each faction and syndicate.

Some ideas that I feel would work with each Faction and Syndicate

-Ostron: sea food, maybe a luxury food similar to Sushi.
Spices would be often sold and used as well. so maybe also a dish similar to Curry?

-Solaris/Vox: Currently I don't know what they would eat since from the way it looks, barely anyone needs to actually eat.

-New Loka: A vegetarian/vegan style diet.
Tea and other similar herbal drinks.

-Red Veil: Meat. Often cook whole animals and eats them from the bones.
Maybe some full dishes similar to Roast pig with roast vegetables.
Wine would often be found with this syndicate

-Perrin Sequence: more corpus style food, as well as some other recipes that they can gather and buy.

-Steel Meridian: feel more like survivalists, making use of what is around and using everything Since their base is 

-Arbiters of the Hexis: light food such as Rice, Stew, Soups, etc... maybe the occasional light snack.

-Suda: Cephalons don't need to eat, but since Suda is a Cephalon that archives music, would the members of the syndicate eat food associated with Music?
maybe food that "helps" the musical and rhythmic part of brain?

-Orokin: They were the "Golden Empire" Most commoners would eat more of a kind of cereal type of food?
Since "New War" They actually released a food dispenser for Orbiter Decoration, and it looks like cereal, or a powder of some kind.
The higher in power the person was, the more luxurious the food would get. Fully cooked beasts, Deserts, Alcoholic drinks, Wines.

-Corpus: More processed food, maybe a lot of dehydrated food, food pouches and nutrients bars.
Since the Corpus are for profit, they would also have access to a bunch of foods and recipes that they have bought so they could sell.

-Grineer: I have noticed objects in some of the Grineer barracks that look like dishes on the tables. plates, cups, silverware.
maybe a kind of military grub? since they also have cloning technology, and I have also noticed Kavat and Kuburo Herders they also eat Kuburo and Kavat Steaks.

-Other: Then you also have a lot of other groups, like Nora from the Nightwaves.

 

What do you all think? It could also help with storywriters in adding more flavor to their stories.

A bit of a stretch, but here we go.

While there are active supply lines, there are certain agricultural planets that are used to supply each faction. The large corpus ships we see in the distance while in our orbiter are likely trading vessels that move across the system.

Neptune is the Corpus home world. In the Parvos Granum backstory and the Nezha leverian we're told that it was largely an agrarian planet. While it is home to a massive theory, that likely hasn't changed. Most of their output is grain, perhaps they grow other cultures there. Also with Nef Terraforming Orb Vallis we can hear a few lines of dialogue from biz about them catching the local wildlife and using it for fur and delicacies. Most likely the average crewman subsists on various grains, while their aristocracy enjoys a fried popper burger. 

Grineer are a bit more complicated. From Earth conservation we find out that they like to hunt and scavenge the planet for supplies, while also getting regular rations from orbit. On the Kuva Fortress and in their space stations they are big on recycling protein and water. No idea how accurate this is, but Europa and other ocean planets could make great places for ocean farming. 

Tenno and the rest like to hang out at Cetus or at the relays, where they get their supplies. Cetus is quite straightforward with food, where they get most of their food from fishing and occasionally hunting game. We never see Solaris eat, but I presume those overgrown mushrooms could make for good nutrition if they are anything similar to shrooms on earth. One mushroom tree could supply the colony for over a month. Not to mention they grow everywhere in the venetian soil. 

[Galoain]

Don't forget there is apparently livestock; vobi is what they're called and they're likely some kind of ungulate, given there is vobi butter likely made from their milk.

[(PSN)Hooligonzo]

A lot of the animal conservation tasks describe animals that are edible, and pretty much all of the fish the Ostrons chop up are for food.  They also have Tower Flesh to sustain them.  There are decorations for spices and fruit, too.

There are Corpus decorations that appear to be tinned and boxed foods.  Corpus with alternative digestive systems surely gain nutrition through less conventional means.

Grineer seem to operate some agricultural facilities, which probably is a component to producing rations.  We haven't really seen many Grineer out of military situations to get a grasp of their diets, but it's probably still very similar to what people have always eaten.

I am concerned about consigned kubrows and kavats, though...

Understandable about the Kuburos and Kavats, I just remember seeing or hearing something about steaks made from the Kuburos and Kavats.
Although I can't remember if it was in forums somewhere, or in game. But I'm now expecting I saw it in a forum
