[quote=@SpookySquid] True, but there is fishing. Plus, we would still need bodies of fresh water. Perhaps have a few of those, but this ocean would contain the only salt water. Perhaps we could have a small colony that adapts and is able to drink salt water that lives near there? [/quote] [quote=@AccursedBiscuit] Different evolutionary timeline. Different plants to eat and avoid, different animals with different behaviors to hunt or run away from. It's the greatest sandbox ever! [/quote] And this is precisely my issue with this direction, we can claim that because of different evolutionary timelines means that our bog standard human can do anything and the world can literally be crafted for them. Drink salt water? Ok! Survive in freezing cold temperatures? Still fine! Can go months without eating? Evolution baby! How about animals that are naturally plump and juicy and fat for us to eat? Why the hell not! There is no sense of urgency in situations like this, things should be based on how it works by science and not what we want. If that was the case, I could claim that a much of space elves have established a colony here on this planet and decided to purge every living thing because it is the "greatest sandbox ever!"
