The Turians

Most of the turians who came to Andromeda aboard the Ark are still alive. A few thousand died, but around 75% of the population made it. That pkus the turians aboard the Nexus and among the exiles means there are enough to have a sustainable population.

Losing a quarter of your total numbers is a disaster of epic proportions,it is not something to be taken lightly.
We also have the problem of there is no way to feed the Turians indefinitely as the "golden" planet for them is a collection of floating debris,once those stocked supplies go the Turians will be reduced to cannibalism as their fellow Turians will be the only viable source of food.

Cloning is a thing in that universe. It would be very easy to make vat-grown foods, especially if the levo groups start growing their own food.

Cloning and advanced bio technology is more of a Kett thing,in the time it takes to set up a production facility to regularly feed about fifteen thousand Turians they are going to be in dire straights and i don't mean the band.

I'd say a fifth counting the ones among the Nexus and Exiles, but of course it isn't a loss to take lightly but on the other hand it hasn't doomed them to extinction either.
Most would stay in stasis until there is enough food being grown to support them. Same with the other races. Only a small fraction of the people who came to Andromeda are awake. They have seed banks of flora and fauna that can be used as food sources, and by the end of the game we are already using those seed banks to produce food.

True, but I think Hanako Ikezawa was spit-balling rather than citing an actual, in-game percentage. I got the impression that the vast majority of the Turian colonists were being found alive and unharmed.

Have no fear for hungry turians. The quarians will be along with lots of dextro food in the upcoming, subtly foreshadowed (like a falling anvil) DLC.

kenshen19, it sounds like you need to slow down and enjoy the game at a more leisurely pace, my friend. If you have time for two partial PTs, you have time for a more leisurely, measured PT. The turian quest doesn't require a trip to the Nexus, that I recall. Rather you must meet Avitus Rix on Havarl; find some turian pods on Elaaden (a marked quest); and then answer Avitus' email. You're led to the heart of the quest, at that point.

You mean the Quarians that warned us to stay away from them,i am sure they will be unavailable for the foreseeable future.

We'll see in the months to come, I guess. There seemed to be some heavy-handed foreshadowing of upcoming DLC, in my opinion.

Or I can play the game how I want and ask questions latter for what I don't understand or missed.

That works. I was making conversation. I didn't mean to offend.

All the non-hetero sexuality in MEA actually does strike me as weird when we need to reproduce or they could've at least have brought it up. I can't remember what Gil and Jill were about but at least that seemed like something that could address it.

Avitus though :/ but I guess he's a spectre so he can do whatever he wants.

They already have it. That's how the Nexus was feeding itself so far. It doesn't later forever, true. But they have a temporary solution.

They don't already have it,they were starving and on severe rationing when you turned up in the Hyperion,they didn't even have enough power! This was not cloned food it was stockpiled food ie ration packs or the MRE equivalents.
