So I had an idea that I thought was kind of neat. I played armory and took Chef, Skroig, Gork and some other person. I picked the first 3 because they each get Soylent Green (+0.1 food for every enemy killed). I leveled them all until they each had soylent green and then I put my plan into action. On a crystal run I made everyone hole up in the room before the exit, the idea was to farm enemies for food but it didn't work. I never got any food (and I killed a fair bit of enemies). I can only imagine that the Soylent Green ability is inactive during crystal runs. Was it to prevent this kind of thing? I feel like if you can hold out against waves and waves of things while one hero is carrying a crystal and with no free reheals you should get the soylent green bonus still. Or is farming the crystal run monsters considered too easy?

Thank you for posting this. I kept meaning to ask and always forget

Interesting point, I could never even see the soylent green mechanic work anyhow, but this would be a neat trick to boost your food.

I've tried similar strategies. Seems like it could use a little buff --- 1 in 10 enemies killed is a very low rate of return, certainly compared to resource income via modules. Sometimes I funnel enemies into Golgy and let her deal with them alone for the extra dust, even though it is a bit risky.

It would be a nice mechanic to have.
