Good point. I haven't fed any either and I have no idea how to either since I've never seen them land and walk. You come across any sea life and tried feeding them?
On another note, I watched an old documentary yesterday called Alien Planet. Reminded me a lot of NMS. Really recommend watching it.

I managed to get close to birds with the jet pack, but since you can't steer in the air and they fly rather erratic it's impossible to be close long enough. Feeding them after you shoot them down doesn't work :) I haven't tried feeding sea life yet, last ocean I was in had extreme radiation and the worm like things swimming around were rather fast. Will try on a less hostile planet.
I watched that documentary a couple years ago, was fascinating. I had hoped NMS had taken inspiration from that. Too bad all planets seem to have standard atmosphere, liquid water if any, 1g gravity, standard day/night cycle. It's not simulating anything, just procedurally mixing and matching. It's a start, but it would be so awesome if the procedural generation was linked to planetary physics. Planets with amonia based life, rivers of liquid methane, dual suns, tidally locked planets with temperate zones, huge neverending storms. Always something more to dream about.
Got to start somewhere ofcourse, NMS is on the level of one of those mix and match animals children's books. Long way to go.
