I'm just asking him because if they are, then his premise is flawed, because plants love CO and CO2. I just can't see how it could become poisonous to all or most plant life on that world when plants literally need those two things to survive and flourish.

Are you implying that pollution from fossil fuels are good for any type of life?
Yes, flora needs CO2. People need water, but look up "water intoxification".
EDIT: WOOHOO!! 8000th POST!

Well, the gasses themselves are good for plant life. At least, it wouldn't be "poisonous" to plant life in general. To humans and animals, sure, just look at places in China where the smog is just... horrific. Of course. If you want to say that the rising temperatures as a result of greenhouse gasses is harmful to plant life, then I could agree with that. If you want to say that too high of a concentration of CO2 could cause a reduction of photosynthesis in some plants because it causes their stomata to close up, then sure. But it would also be very beneficial to other plants, such as ferns, which flourish in CO2 concentrations of up to 3000 ppm, ten times that of pre industrial levels. I'm just saying that it's not a cut and dry "CO2 bad, solar power good" argument. There's nuance.
For example, Solar panels generate 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than nuclear power plants. They also have lead, cadmium, and other toxic (even carcinogenic) chemicals that can't be removed without breaking apart the entire panel. Worse, rainwater can wash many of these toxics out of the fragments of panels over time.
Then there's the vast increase in the use of nitrogen trifluoride, or NF3, in the construction of solar panels over the past 25 years. It's gone up by something like a 1,000%. NF3 itself is a little over 17,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas – meaning that even relatively minor quantities can have major impacts, and it cannot at all be recycled by plants.
All I'm saying is that it's a very nuanced subject that's not nearly so black and white. While fossil fuel energy has its problems, the so-called green energy alternatives also have their own issues that need to be worked out before they can become a viable replacement. I personally think we do need to move away from fossil fuels, not necessarily because I feel they're horribly toxic and going to destroy the planet, but instead because I think there is a cap in how much energy they can produce. As we advance and energy demands become ever more urgent, I feel that fossil fuels are not going to be able to keep up with the demand, especially as we start doing much more in space.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. For some folks, science is porn.
You're right I got a bit carried away, I apologize.
Back to @HeroicSpirit 's suggestion though, I doubt it would ever be considered, not because it's realistic, but simply because the topic is so controversial (and political) that it's bound to spark far too much pointless debate if something like it were implemented.
Just for posterity's sake though, I will say that calculating the kinetic energy a 100 ton tungsten slug would impart on a planet when fired from a mass driver at 10% the speed of light really gets my jimmies going. More math than science, but close enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We live in a society where the number of genders and/or sexes is up for debate. I'm pretty sure the idea of a planet ravaged by pollution seeking alternate forms of energy in a science fiction porn game (emphasis on "porn" by some folks' reckoning) will somehow sneak in under the outrage radar.
......Does anyone want to explain to him about the internet and that people on there will be outraged by anything?
Anyone?
Because I'm not going anywhere near that minefield.
Yeah, yeah, I know. My point was, if any aspect of TiTS is liable to spark controversy, it'll be the porn bit as opposed to the sci-fi bit.
Again, underestimating the willingness of people to complain about anything on the internet.
I've seen people get worked up over less on this forum.
I'd really like more recruitable male npc's. I know we've Kase and Ben/Bess but so far that's all I've seen
There's also Eitan, but the Korgi hold quest need to be done for that to potentially happen. A lot of in-game requirement have to be done as well.
Crew Dane is supposed to happen. One day in the distant land of tomorrow!*
*not literally, tomorrow, I mean, down the line. Way down the line.
would love more cosmetic items and a place to buy them, like a place to get Piercings. Also, cybernetics could be cool I really want to run around as a cyborg, bionic eye, Bionic arm.... bionic penis?
Don't know how good of an addition this would be, but:
How about the option to lay and wait for a specific enemy, and possibly ambush them? This could help in singling out very grindy enemies, and could open up some randy yet unconsentual scenes for specific enemies, or simply random encounters.
Could also allow Hard Steele characters to boost their harshness in the way of typical banditry.

Take the old Casstech for a spin then, or if you were flying it when you stole the Sidewinder, buy some other low-powered ship.

That sound actually very cool. Like, sometimes I'm all horny waiting for a female Zil to sit on my face but I walk around and around finding all kinds of cunt snakes, bald frogs and male zils, which lowers my IRL horniness and may force me to load a previous save if they defeat me because of ingame lust or something.
That would be extremely convenient and helpful for people seeking to farm something, item or otherwise. I feel like that'd require a good bit of work for someone to set that up, but I'd personally really like that.
But then you'd also have people abusing it to farm for expensive drops from enemies. For example, the Hardlight Upgrade Module has a base price of 8500 credits, meaning that someone can make money hand over fist.
Then again, the game doesn't skimp on money, or items. Yes, it can be a pain to farm for something that has a low drop rate, but its usually balanced that you're also making money and/or experience, other items and various sex scenes.

If you just want to relive specific scenes there's another solution that could be implemented, actually two:
- The ability to replay all unlocked scenes from the codex or the porn menu (as the codex is easily powerful enough to film your adventure (maybe make it an option to start filming if Steele has high enough exhibitionism score)
- And then there's the second option: one of the rooms in the nursery is upgraded into a petting zoo and Steele could collect wild (optional) species he/she likes to fuck, in an area where he/she has access to them all the time and they could be fun pets (caretakers?/cautionary tales?) for all Steeles kids
That latter one sounds really messed up, because, well, the majority of your foes, especially those with sex scenes, are sentient. Like, the only ones I can think of that aren't sentient to some degree that Steele can still fuck after combat would be the cuntsnakes (sexual parasites), mimbranes (sexual parasites), sand worms (sexual parasites), and cockvines (sexual parasites when small, writhing masses of fuck when large). Also I'd say the Sex Bots aren't sentient, but that's because of how thoroughly fucked their programming is. Lots of characters which are sex bots are sentient. And I, personally, would say that none of these 5 should ever be taken to your nursery and put in a "petting zoo" with your kids, for pretty obvious reasons. Aside from those 5/6, there's no opponent which is both nonsentient and sexable. So, aside from those, who would be brought? Sentient people, like Zil person. So, how would that work? Would you essentially just shanghai them right after combat? Granted, you essentially do that to the Zil on Mhen'ga for a side quest, but you don't do it with any other people. And the fact that you're straight up calling it a zoo, reminds me of a certain other "zoo" where they kept sentient people... If one was to justify it, it'd likely have the same justification too: They're "wild" people, who are "primitive" because they have lower levels of technology.
You can get some piercings at Korgii Hold I think. Yeah, from Kiona.
Yeah for sure it would be difficult, not like I havr much experience in the matter.. Unless TiTs and CoC are very complex 'Scratch' projects haha
That second suggestion is damn hilarious, though I think even the harshest of Steeles aren't slavers. However I do like your first idea.
