jfc Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Why do pufts become tamed without grooming? I have 2 rooms, one where they become tame and grooming and produce and the other where i just incubate pufts to stack them up for produciton, no grooming there. Why do they become tamed?

Scorpio King Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Its not just Pufs, even if you stop grooming and feeding any critter they will still be "tamed" or so the game says. I noticed it as well, i left all my critters be in "wild care" (no feeding, grooming) inside my base. A true tamed critter gives you warning when its starving.

Christophlette Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Eggs that come from a tamed puft will make tamed puflet... There is no warning but taming a puft will tame his children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulwind Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Mind you, no grooming means they will be unhappy and will pretty much defeat the purpose of breeding pufts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpio King Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It is a good strategy to keep certain number of critters that repopulate themselves without wasting further resources. I just think the wildness meter is bit confusing. For example, once i have around 100 shinebugs on my solar panels, i stopped grooming them, and then after a while i stopped feeding them as well. The number of shinebugs stayed approximately the same for 1100 cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamed unhappy critter equals a wild happy critter, so it wouldn't be wild to suggest that wild critters is in a hidden unhappy state. Just like wild critters can starve, as in being in a state where they don't have access to food, they just can't die from starvation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolthulhu Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Scorpio King said: The number of shinebugs stayed approximately the same for 1100 cycles. Unhappy critters will still breed as long as they aren't "expecting". For shinebugs, the time to starve is longer than time to reproduce when unhappy, so shinebugs can keep their numbers up when tame and starved.

BlueLance Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The other problem with not taming them is the fact that they reproduce so slowly XD But yeah as soon as a critter is tame, any of their offspring from that point on will become tame.
