Domesticating biters.

[FishSandwich]

I'd like to see the ability to domesticate biters. Maybe have them fight for you, keep them as pets or use them in some kind of power generation.

I'm thinking a large biter in a hamster wheel could generate enough power to power an entire base. :p But more realistically some sort of bio mass power generation thing.

they could also be used in farms when food is eventually added. Although I would think that they would be a perk for having low pollution

Replace those hamsters with biters and you got an awesome video.

And when finding the rare item "whip", we could get them to make a biter pyramid.

Seriously, I totally agree to get different ways to deal with enemies, as I suck killing them. Although I'm afraid that using biters to generate energy would not suit the character / game feeling. It just looks like slavery...

Edit : but perhaps that's because I don't understand "bio mass power generation thing" which is certainly a super-fair way to generate energy from alien
