Critter morphs

[SilverShadowUA]

EDIT: Seedy Drecko

I like critters to do unique stuff, providing utility that you can't get by other means. With this in mind I have some new critter morphs suggestions.

 

Mug Slug

Can soak up magma and possibly all other hot liquids. Can live at any hot temperature

Diet: Lead -> Sour Gas

 

RightRub

Rubs other critters increasing their reproduction rate

Diet: Sucrose -> Tonic Root

 

Seedy Drecko

Shed for Polluted Ice Rust, needs to be in Chlorine for scale growth

Diet: Sleet Wheat -> decorative plant seeds

I liked the idea in this topic:

Now this critter would provide one unique, but very niche product, and one that can be turned into infinite and scalable source of Steel. I like it way better.

 

Mossy Drecko

Shed for Algae, needs to be in CO2 for scale growth

Diet: Waterweed -> Fertilizer

 

ReHatch (maybe not the best name)

Diet: Depleated Uranium and Plastic -> Lead

 

Glassy Moo

Milked for Molten Glass

Oddly too specific. Why polluted ice out all of the resources?

That's actually a great idea.

It seems very useful

That make no sense and its not even possible.

It's not necessary to be specifically Polluted Ice.

Having critters gives you benefits, but to get this benefits you need to design a proper ranch first. The more specific critter benefits are the more sophisticated ranch design it should require. Dreckos are available early, but both them and Glossy Drecko require pretty complicated ranch design. So if you want to provide your duplicants with posh greenery accommodations, you need to design a ranch that is in line but even more sophisticated then Drecko's and Glossy Drecko's.

Another consideration, that I've taken into account is that graphic designers would need to create some distinguish look for new critters and Polluted Ice was fitting the look I've imagined.
