Saladmander Breeding/pet

[Russmaster2299]

Saladmanders really need a method to repopulate (similarly with Carrats) that doesn't need player intervention. Maybe a combination of a beefalo breeding mechanic, paired with only occurring during summer. When it's summer, maybe that could be the only time they decide not to be sociable.

Another idea for breeding mechanics, what if bees could be used as a way to grow their numbers? One bee has to pollinate to at least 2 ripe Saladmanders, and has a 60% chance of planting a Salad Sapling. Interesting method to grow the population of an interesting mob.

Also, more pets would also be fun, since the Saladmander is kind of cute. Maybe it would need a dragonfruit, and either dragon pie, or Dragon Chili (if you want to make it so Warley is a necessity for one)? Maybe give it a slight light radius, and provide heat when full. Yes, I know it seems a bit OP for a critter den critter, but I think the Critter den pets need more love and utility.

 

(Also, please just add the Mad Science Station as a year round craft already?)
