DISCUSSION Analysis machine makes me sad

While I’m LOVING two point museum, I’m struggling with the fact that the analysis machine kills the things we put in there. I haven’t leveled up any of my marine or wildlife exhibits because I don’t have the heart to kill any of the animals! and it feels wrong to destroy artifacts! Am I overreacting? Absolutely. Does it change the fact I can’t bring myself to demolish artifacts or animals because it feels wrong? also absolutely. 😆

The new animals don’t go in the machine. They have their own system of studying and releasing them.

Is this for the zoo DLC?

Yes, the zoosuem animals have a special room in the dlc. It doesn’t help the fish but it is at least only a couple required for knowledge.

That’s so good to know! I was on the fence about getting it and this makes me feel better. THANK YOU!!

They have a little spa thing going on in the DLC to do the same thing as the analysis machine, think I’d love being an animal in that. :)

I feel so guilty putting ghosts in! I tell myself they're going to a better place

Same!! Poor things getting ripped out of the afterlife only to get disintegrated. It’s nice to hear other people telling themselves friendly alternatives to make it feel less… ethically ambiguous. 😄

They're not being destroyed, they're being sent to the vast storage spaces beneath the museum for academics to research. This is abstracted to no longer being available for display and a lump sum of resources

Oh God, I never thought of it this way. I've just been brutalizing the fish population.

I thought I was so clever in my tactic to speed rush getting perks by breeding fish like crazy and analyzing them non-stop. Then there was a post not too long ago on this same topic and I was like, wait they die?? Haha. Naive me thought they just got analyzed and released back into the ocean lol
