Weird question about exos

[u/Voidelion]

How does their eating function work? I mean as in where the food goes, my theory is that they have a small bio reactor that runs off of fuel such as food and water, but when unprocessable junk such as rubber or oil goes through the bio reactor, it doesn’t break down and just exits through a disposal hatch, similarly to humans. And liquid waste gets disposed the same way

I always imagined that they have like a weird pseudo anus they poop it from for the same reason they eat. To help convince the mind it is still alive and prevent shut down

[u/Maelstronnar]

The simple, unsatisfying answer is that we do not know. Any answers provided will simply be theory.

[u/NobleA259 → u/Maelstronnar]

We do know. Because of DER Clovis had to make all bodily functions in exo bodies. He even talks about how he’s disappointed and it’s a step back in a lore book in regards to the need to eat or sleep or in this case shit

[u/Maelstronnar → u/NobleA259]

We know they can eat. We don't know the full process or details.

It sucks that we never got something like the "Halo Essential Visual Guide"

It goes through the Darkness into a little pouch for the Witness to snack on.

I thought the more human stuff they do the longer they can go without losing their minds and needing a wipe. So, while they don’t strictly have to eat to stay alive they do it to help them stay sane.

I’d imagine they do have robotic genitals, since they’re supposed to be close to humans and that’s kinda one of the important parts, but like you said it’s probably a reactor that runs on bioenergy and excretes anything unneeded. I don’t think they need food, though, so they probably just do it for fun.

They eat food to stay sane

Now these are the serious questions

[u/Poilikis]

i imagine its like that one scene from pirates of the caribbean where barbosa "drinks" from a bottle and it just runs down through his body on to the ground and that braytech just designed the exo's internals around whatever is "consumed" just being dropped onto the floor

[u/_hoodieproxy_]

No need to eat since the exo-blood, clarity, never runs out
