Deustodo Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 While building a Stable, a lonely wild Shinybug got trapped inside it, and I decided to go with it and let it reproduce until the stable was full. After a while I had 8 little bugs living happily over there, and decided to do some... experiment. Basically these buggers lay an egg every other cycle so I decided to gather all their eggs and put inside a storage compactor, locked it so dups couldn't reach the eggs and then dump all eggs on the floor so they could hatch naturally. This is the end result, about 30 shinybugs roaming the lower part of my base, what do I do with them?

Kabrute Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 bugs don't drop meat do they? only good for eggs imo Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91804-so-my-base-got-whole-lotta-brighter/#findComment-1048474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deustodo Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 No they do not drop any meat, they just pop when they are done living, and their eggs weight only 200 g, so to make an omellete I would need 5 of those. which probably wouldn't be that bad. Also this is also a good side effect of my experiment: Edit: Nevermind a shinybug egg only yields 100 g of raw egg and 100g of egg shell, so that will shrink the population a little.

Soulwind Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Right now a shine bug ranch is my go to omelette source. After cosmic hits I will probably let the little buggers go extinct. Even with the quick egg laying, the shift to needing 10 eggs per omelette just doesn't make dupe time sense to keep them away from being glum Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91804-so-my-base-got-whole-lotta-brighter/#findComment-1048536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveYourDreams Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 What? 10 eggs per ommelette? I hope this is just for shine bugs Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91804-so-my-base-got-whole-lotta-brighter/#findComment-1048557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulwind Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Maybe. Plus the most recent patch says they've added a fertility bonus. Don't know how much it will help with getting that many eggs laid, but hopefully it'll be enough to keep the ranching of bugs still worthwhile. This does seem to be Klei's development method though. First have a new addition be overpowered, next nerf it into worthlessness, then finally buff it back to the balance it should have had in the first place. They definitely never seem to do anything by small steps.

PhailRaptor Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I would imagine that the greatest benefit from fast hatching Shinebugs would be that they should produce a lot of Eggshell, which would translate to a rate of Lime production.
