Don't kiss me you smelly Nerf Herder!

Hear me out, because the surface is so lush green and pleasant, it would be ideal pasturing land, and obviously the encroaching Big Bad, and local fauna creates a natural point of contention for farmers to keep them on their toes.
> Cows, some goats maybe some sheep, a few native varieties of grazing animals (a small deer or something that predators eat in the wild) also makes the spacemen self reliablity for food, and pallette larger. Rashers of bacon, beef, mutton and exotic alien veal.
> Certain animals like monkeys are omnivorous, monkeys should become irratible if not fed.
> Dogs and cats in the carnivorous class hunt animals their own size class, obviously if you have a pet tiger or are breeding bears (you maniac) you'd need to throw it a steak every now and again to stop it going eventually stir crazy with hunger, attacking you (ideal size class, same size or smaller) .
This further helps Kor's ecosystem idea, as well as creates a non-haybale/food suppliment way (like goof farms attempt to feed out of troughs) of providing food for animals, basically the livestock (divided up between riskier livestock animals that eat meat and those that graze) mind their own business, and then outside predators come and bother the station defences drawn in by either the players or their animals, and grazing animals need to actively be out on pasture to feed else starve.
In space there is typically neither the resources or time to maintain such a big 'barnyard' beside some coop chickens (little to no maintenance, just throw them some corn in a trough), some hydroponics & bees. You can surely import or find wild jungle species to domesticate into your livestock.
