Gurgel Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I usually catch them all and confine them in 1x1 metal cells or, with the printer now delivering new ones occasionally, just kill them. Except for one which I use for a Regolith-destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemie Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I use sand box to delete them when I see them. They just break things by pooping randomly on stuff. Annoying and not useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying and not useful. I just kill them while I clear the space biome and cook their eggs into tasty, tasty omelettes. If I ever need them back, I'll wait for the printing pod.

Zarquan Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I just carve their habitat off the asteroid in the early game. Then I confine them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyer Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Starting a new base this update, I keep seeing them as an option to print them from the printer. Always so tempted to print these cute things until I remember how annoyingly difficult to manage these buggers can be (for an early game base) and then I just select the 'Reject all' button.

Grimgaw Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 They can't jump over two tiles and don't go into water. I just build an 'island' and put them there along with drecos. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the same boat in my current colony. Feels like you get so many eggs of the printing pod, I just don't bother with ranching at all. I got six times the "eight Pacus" in 500 cycles. I mean I am not complaining but maybe a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd put tamed drecko in there, they'll starve before laying an egg. tamed drecko lays "tamed" eggs, which will hatch "tamed" baby dreckos, which are tamed, but won't starve since they've never been groomed, I think. And they will also lay one egg their entire life, so you end up having all those drecko living on the island generations after generations, until infinite amount drecko, I guess. 1 minute ago, tzionut said: I accept only once 8 pacus.

Spoiler This is ungroomed drecko still in stable with food (If you never feed them they start with 9000kcal and for 5 first cycles use less calories than adults). As you can see it's going to starve way before it can lay an egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
