One of the traits in Surviving Mars is Vegan. The description just says "don't worry, they'll tell you."

All of the food in the game seems to be plant-based so what, if anything, does Veganism do?

  • Well, there is one breakthrough tech that give you access to some king of non-plant food, but I don't think that the game makes the difference. I believe that this trait is just for fun.

Farm in the Dome +2 Comfort every Sol.
Ranch in the Dome -2 Comfort every Sol.

There is also an achievement called Dream of a Green Mars that you get if your colony reaches 200 Vegans.

  • This answer is correct for the current version of the game. I believe the other answers on this question were written before these effects were in the game.

The Project Laika DLC brought ranches and animals into the mix. Vegans now take a comfort penalty if there is a ranch in their dome.

Gameplay wise: No, they don't.

However: There is an achievment -> Dream of a Green Mars -> Have 200 vegans in your colony.
