Exploiting the Glo Squid violent behaviour

[Mariolo]

Glo squids use the same mechanic as pokeshells and get angry when they have eggs around. The difference is that when glo squids attack, they make a puddle of 5 kg of ink, and this doesn't seem to be tied at all to their ink supply.

So what can we do with this information? Similar to starvation shearing dreckos before they got a nerf, you can put the overflow squids from your ranches on a starvation room. Now you can dump all overflow eggs from any other ranches here and when they hatch, the squids will immediately kill it. You get more ink from higher health critters since they take multiple hits, but even low health critters give a decent amount of ink if you have enough squids since they all get one attack off after locking in, though with too many squids not all of them get an attack. Here I have 27 and even a small critter like kelpole will get you 135 kg of ink. For reference a fully tame squid makes 50 kg/cycle

Nice!

Can any critters kill the squid?

The main problem I always had with the fun idea of having poke execute other critters was that pokes just aren't very strong, so they'd lose too often.
