Why live on a planet when you could build a Cylinder to live

Why build a cylinder when I have a bitchin' planet to live on, full of dope shit to mine, hunt, gather and exploit?

>Why build a cylinder when I have a bitchin' planet to live on, full of dope shit to mine
There are plenty of crap planets like mercury, moons and asteroids to mine.

>>51927351
Yeah, but why would I choose to build a fucking space cylinder to live in, when I can use the time and materials to make my planet even more dope in the first place?

And besides, there's nothing to kill and eat on those crap planets.

This; I'm genre savvy. Living on a space colony increases your chances of giant robot/alien attack by 100%

> hunt, gather
That's what agriculture is for. Even primitives with flint knives and sticks can work out how to raise crops and pen animals for food. It's much better than hunting and gathering.

Have fun choking on void if anything goes wrong or a rogue micrometeoroid hits in the wrong place.

Listen to >>51927564.

Don't let your soul be weighed down by gravity.

>>51927959
That's why you have spaced hull plating and patch teams.

>>51927934
Then where's the sport? Sure, agriculture is more reliable, but sometimes you want to wrestle a wild bear or prove your man enough to fight a wolf or lion with nothing but a knife.

How does that defend me from fascist naziboos with an axe to grind and WMDs?>>51928334

>>51928360
Build your own WMDs to strike back with in retaliation, this isn't complicated anon.

Larry you should know that's not a problem that only arises in or effects people living on space colonies.

>>51927317
Why the FUCK would I live in a cylinder?
You think I like tubes, anon? No. Fuck that.
I'm going to live in a cube. Or a big old triangular based pyramid.

>hurrr I can't into science

>>51927317
Day of the colony soon fellow spacenoids.

>>51929399
Cubes are not good for Spin Gravity.

>Not living in a Dyson sphere
Think of how much of your stars energy you are just wasting
