[fluid notch]

Ye i love that ship it looks very pretty

[olive swallow]

that guys ribs look like their ripping thru his back

[fluid notch]

Lol

[olive swallow]

not a bad one tho lmk if you find one like this

[fluid notch]

It shows glyphs but if u go there its no where to be found after a certain update it changed

[olive swallow]

ah

[fluid notch]

And it hasnt been found since

[olive swallow]

which update was it

[fluid notch]

Ah idk

[olive swallow]

it might have been an update where all previous fauna had gone extinct

theres one like that

[fluid notch]

Maybe

But if that happened ppl who had said dino would still have it rn correct @olive swallow

[olive swallow]

well extinct fauna dont remove the pets i dont think

[fluid notch]

Just to make sure im not completely hopless asking

[olive swallow]

that would be kinda unfair

idk

or dont remember

one of the two

[fluid notch]

Well as i said i have that blue jellyfish except its larger then my starship and i have a very tiny dino and its an adult and still just goes up to abt my knee

[olive swallow]

blue jellyfish

larger than the starship

mmmmm

[fluid notch]

Ye

[olive swallow]

deciding if i should wait for Polestar to return or get it now

an dilemma for aure

[fluid notch]

Well ill have to find its home planet to get its egg

U can hav it for free if u want

@olive swallow

[olive swallow]

sure

i can get you the biological alien pet once i get hone as well

i wont be hone for another like maybe 3 hours tho

[fluid notch]

U just gotta wait until i can play in like 6-7 hours

[olive swallow]

im in classes rn

uhhhh

hmmmmm

well in that case i wont be available for another 8 hours maybe

or maybe even tomorrow

[fluid notch]

Oh im still available in 8 hours

Ill add u @olive swallow

[olive swallow]

yeah sure lemme send you my code

[crimson needle]

can this be tames

tamed*

[deep badger]

sadly no, not without mods

[narrow willow]

I actually have a SaveEdited one. I think I have an egg if you want one, but tbh, they're not fun companions. You can't interact with it, so no petting, feeding, riding, or breeding. You just summon her, and she races around too fast to get a good look at.

[crimson needle]

xd

[narrow niche]

I have this cool like horned scaly dog

[compact panther]

I... didn't know you could give 'em accessories.

[vivid coyote]

A Few of My Favs 🙂

[narrow niche]

The bottom right one looks so cool

[olive swallow]

it looks like something someone named El_Satanico would enjoy

meanwhile

tht thing looks like it would eat out my intestines in my sleep

[blazing cobalt]

ooooh very nice

[olive swallow]

that looks like a very nice mutated pineapple tho

[frozen lily]

Quite possibly the tiniest creature I have ever seen

[narrow niche]

I already have one that my name would enjoy

[olive swallow]

both of them make me think of demonic goats

except this one is somewhat more feline in nature

[narrow niche]

Yeah

This one is okay it’s just the way that u ride it

You ride it on its neck

But I think that the back would suit better

[narrow willow]

You're just lucky that the HellCat doesn't decide to ride you.

[blazing cobalt]

oh thats one i havent seen yet

[heavy quail]

Can you gibe me a better pic

I've been trying to consider which blob to get

I'm gonna have a rolly polly, a blobfish, a proto gek as a companion and a mogara teddybear

[frozen lily]

not at the moment

[heavy quail]

guess I gotta go to the planet

can you tell me which galaxy it's in?

[frozen lily]

euclid

[heavy quail]

yes

all the good things are in euclid

[wooden wedge]

I’m gonna need the planet coordinates for the portal for that planet if you don’t mind

[royal marten]

Is your rex able to lay an egg yet? 🙂

[blazing cobalt]

that is a nice Rex

[near oriole]

@wooden wedge@royal marten I dont have coords, but I can share eggs some time

[royal marten]

Yes please! 🙂 I’ve always wanted a rex

[near oriole]

Sure, I just got up and need to head to the farmers market this morning, but I'll be free later this afternoon

[royal marten]

Sounds good!

[crimson needle]

i forget

how does one capture a air base creature

[olive swallow]

uhhh

usually save editting or modded

[crimson needle]

or building maybe?

[olive swallow]

or obtaining one of those two eggs from someone else

[olive swallow]

building up to the airborne creatures wont help

[crimson needle]

aw

[olive swallow]

ive tried

[crimson needle]

i saw a cool looking phoenix like thing

[olive swallow]

i know others have too

yeah?

cool

i like to collect flying worms

and then name them an abomination

[crimson needle]

fun

[olive swallow]

just to make people think

what is this pet

when i give them an egg

[crimson needle]

imao

[olive swallow]

i have this grey sandworm hybrid thingy and i just name it Grand Abomination

an orange variant named Sand Abomination

an abyss worm named Abyssal Abomination

a Spiralis creature named Spiralling Abomination

i have pets

pets are cool

but i name them this for no reason

usually i actually like to name my pet what they are

Sentinel Quad, Biological Fiend, Tyrannosaurasaur Rexstar

[royal marten]

Lmk when you’re available 🙂

[topaz dragon]

Cobrasaurus..!

[near oriole]

It'll be 2-3 hrs or so

[royal marten]

Sounds good thank you!

[narrow niche]

Can I get a egg to

Here are the companions that I have rn if anyone wants a egg for one just let me know

[supple knoll]

That cat goes hard

[crimson needle]

how do i alter the color in a egg sequencer

[crimson needle]

i have the same thing :0

[crimson needle]

can i pay you for one too?

[narrow niche]

I can give you a egg if u want

[crimson needle]

it says unstable

so

[supple knoll]

😶 I'll DM you

[narrow niche]

K

[crimson needle]

anyone

im confused

[narrow willow]

Unstable doesn't really mean nothing. Just save before each attempt, so u can reload and experiment.

[crimson needle]

ok

[oak raven]

Anyone want a Tropista egg?

Here's a different, tailed version i found.

[crimson needle]

I WANT ONE

[oak raven]

The tailed one?

[crimson needle]

yes

if possible

[oak raven]

Won't have an egg for the next 7 hours. But i can get you one for sure. I have an egg for the version without a tail though.

Also have this lil guy. He dances.

Have a planet with these beetles on it if anyone wants me to bring you here.

[smoky lark]

heavy dog

[near oriole]

No payment necessary, just gotta wait in line lol

[crimson needle]

oo damn ty

[dawn bobcat]

Does anyone know for sure if the quad companion will take to new personality traits/genes?

[heavy quail]

I would also like to ask: can I modify a fiend pet

[oak raven]

I think the only thing the quad pet can't do is change size.

[oak raven]

Fiend pet?

[heavy quail]

yes

Biological horror

[oak raven]

Oh. Absolutely. I think the only thing that you can't change is the color.

You can definitely change the sizes and personalities. Big one is friendly and helpful, little one is angry and independent.

[crimson needle]

taking my tiny pet for a ride

[blazing cobalt]

That’s a big one!

[heavy quail]

aww, he's so cute

[upper belfry]

Player model for scale

[twilit citrus]

oh my gosh, i see what you mean lmao
that's pretty neat, and kinda terrifying hahah

here's the lil robodog i mentioned, i kinda did the opposite of what you did

[upper belfry]

That's adorable!

[twilit citrus]

his name is footetto and i'm not changing it, it fits lmao

[upper belfry]

And the robotic companions. They can be found on rare planets, definitely not the sentinel quad...

That being said tho... My next project is a MASSIVE quad

[twilit citrus]

i wanted the quad for so long and i finally got him after this expedition! but after playing with him i realized i actually really love the robot companions you find on planets naturally

i really want the one with the more roundish head to go along with the one i already have

[twilit citrus]

@ me with the screenshot if you happen to remember, i'd love to see it lmao

[upper belfry]

Will do!

I have to farm a Lot of storm crystals for it. They grow the companion like 1m ea. Or roughly .7m

[oak raven]

As far as I know, you can't change the size of the quad from the expedition, if that's what you're going for. Someone here mentioned that. Feel free to try and update us though.

[upper belfry]

Here's hoping!

[near oriole]

@crimson needle are you playing today?

[crimson needle]

im on now :D

[near oriole]

Im grabbing a bite to eat rn, I'll be back on a little later.

[timber sierra]

Found this little dog today

[heavy quail]

what the dog doin

[fluid notch]

Anyone got this?

[blazing cobalt]

That’s an amazing Rex!

[fluid notch]

Ye it went extinct but anyone who had it should still have it so im tryna find som1 who does

[near oriole]

Big kitty is finally full grown
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FjUvwUgUUAASujZ?format=jpg&name=large

[blazing cobalt]

found a rolling eyeball

[teal bramble]

Ok I actually have green ones of those on my home planet

Wow

Also give me until like 5 today and I have a picture of these weird brains with tentacles

So weird

And they float

Also I have a big beetle

[heavy quail]

Oh my freaking gosh it's a dinosaur

Oh my goodness

what the heck

[fluid notch]

Yeah

Found it on reddit

It went extinct with update but whoever had it still should have it so

[heavy quail]

BRING THEM BACK TO THE WILD DANG IT

[fluid notch]

Ikr hes so cool theres also some huge diplos they deleted i mean those things were like 200 ft tall

[heavy quail]

Why do all the cool creatures gotta go extinct

It's ALWAYS the cool ones

or the cute ones like the vaquita

I WANT MY FRICKEN DODO BACK, HUMANITY

[heavy quail]

I need it

[teal bramble]

Ok i promised so here it is

and I realize compared to the other beetles in this channel it isn't all that big but I really just meant I was shocked rideable insects exist so heres the beetle with me on it

oh btw you can ride the brain thing

[oak raven]

Got a nice butterfly i shared here before. And a dancing bipedal goat.

[keen scaffold]

I have eggs

[olive swallow]

so apparently thats a crab

somehow

and its floats idk

[teal bramble]

Wtf

so confused

[deep badger]

everything, eventually, becomes crab

[heavy quail]

"The perfect spot for a dollar general" (may I please hear of what the planet is called?)

[teal bramble]

Where it comes from? I don’t know.

Maybe it will tell me in the scanner. Or the catalogue. I’ll check when I get home

Where I was is a different question

That’s my home planet Venta then a few numbers

[olive swallow]

you guys ever see these gravitino ball pets

[teal bramble]

what the heck

Also I have BIG news

I found some really cool stuff

Theres these huge two legged things

And this really cute mushroom guy

He has a bunch of weird eyes tho and you can see his heart beating through his skin

but the way he runs is hilarious

It's more like extremely fast hopping than running

[wicked ledge]

Yooo I love these guys! That one looks great :D!

[teal bramble]

Thx

[upper belfry]

They would look great on pizza

[teal bramble]

Nooo not my mushroom

[teal bramble]

Triceratops

[blazing cobalt]

I’m so tired I thought ur curser was it’s eye

[olive swallow]

ngl i thought the same

[near oriole]

Nice one

[exotic hamlet]

😍

[split carbon]

that riding position's so funny

[exotic hamlet]

lmao ikr

[hot carbon]

anyone have anything that resembles a shark or alligator/crocodile?

[upper belfry]

Anyone got a worm egg they can spare

[spiral jacinth]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[dawn bobcat]

Big 'ol cosmic bowling ball

[teal bramble]

Wow, that’s… bright

And large

[obsidian obsidian]

Big glowing ball

...

[upper belfry]

I don't wanna make a pun, I don't wanna make a pun

large blue ball

[obsidian obsidian]

Its sad that theres only one 😔

[dawn bobcat]

Oh, worry not, there is a whole planet filled with gigantic blue balls. Just rolling around the place. Everywhere you look. Blue balls.

[shut anvil]

"they used to call me one ball johnny..."

[sly pilot]

My new base and settlement is on this moon where I discovered all the fauna, but I keep coming across these look-like-stone things that if I shoot with my mining laser, suddenly spring legs and scamper off, but if I scan them, it just says “Biological entity”. And none of the catalogued fauna include it.

Also, every now and again I hear a big noise coming from the sky, and it’s one of those huge flying millipedes I’ve seen people ride in videos but haven’t ever looked into further. I haven’t been quick enough to scan them, but is it what one of my moon’s fauna grow into or what?

[vivid coyote]

The "living rock" and "Ginormous sandworm" creatures are not part of the scannable fauna list for the discoveries page.

[narrow niche]

Got a friend for my hellcat

Also got this I don’t know what it is but I love it

[wicked ledge]

C H O N K

[lusty charm]

Just saw your message because I'm hardly ever in this chat...but do you still want a worm egg? I can give you one.

[quiet crane]

I do

[fluid notch]

Fr bro?

[quiet crane]

.

Are you sure it’s extinct? I got mine from the same planet you visited, just a few months ago

I thought it was extinct too, but people told me the species has variants that look different depending on the gender

It was hard to find one that looked like this but after staying on the planet long enough I found one

But I could just give you an egg too if you want. Note that for some reason when when I gave an egg to another guy, the baby that hatched out was brown instead of red. Idk if they change color as they grow up

[dawn sable]

If a creature is extinct, it's gone. It may have been replaced by something similar, but with totally different seed/s. (Most creatures have primary and secondary seeds, with genders represented by swapping which seed is dominant)

@quiet crane

[quiet crane]

Ah got you. Yeah I was just saying that I thought it was extinct too at first but eventually I found one. So maybe @fluid notch would have the same luck if they tried again

But I’m still open to giving out eggs, it’s weird that one hatched out a different color though

[fluid notch]

If u would give me an egg please do

I can play in a little

[quiet crane]

For sure

[quiet crane]

I’d love an egg from both of these

[narrow niche]

I can give you them if u like

Just give me like 40 minutes top Gita write a short essay for school

[hollow coral]

How do you find bigger creatures

I want to add some big boys to my collection

[hollow coral]

Please please please tell me how you caught this, I saw some yesterday but they were flying high I have no clue how

[wicked ledge]

There’s not really a way to find bigger ones besides exploring, but you can play around with the egg sequencer in the Anomaly and make offspring bigger

[hollow coral]

Oh ok, idrk what you mean by egg sequencer I got the game yesterday I am fairly new lol

[quiet crane]

For sure, message me when you’re on, I might on be on for a while either

[hollow coral]

Some ppl have some sick pets geez

[wicked ledge]

Haha no worries. When you unlock the space station thing called the Anomaly via progressing the story a little, there is a tool in there that you can put a companion egg into and influence the traits of, especially size and colors. If that’s something that might interest you lemme know if you have questions! Otherwise, lots of wild fauna can be absolute units so good luck searchin!

[hollow coral]

Oh oki, I like the relaxing experience of creative mode so I've barely done any story mode lol

[hushed matrix]

My two favorite creatures ❤️

[hollow coral]

Yes

There cool

[narrow niche]

I hope that I am right I think I finally found a rex

[hollow coral]

Looks cool as

[narrow niche]

I’m always giving free eggs for any of the animals that I show if anyone wants some

[hollow coral]

Got any big ones I want a big boy

[deep badger]

apparently if you mod a butterfly to be big enough they can land again

[hollow coral]

foudn these guys, i rlly want one how can i catch it

[wicked ledge]

Those and other purely aerial fauna will require modding to tame, I’m afraid

Or a player w the modded pet can gift you one of theirs’ eggs

[hollow coral]

oh

sad

i cantbe bothered to get mods, maybe another time

[dawn sable]

@hollow coral No, a player who has a Flying Snake pet can have it lay an egg to give to you - you dont need to use a mod, just need to find someone else who either does, or save edits, or completed the Expedition with a Flying Snake egg reward.

[hollow coral]

i cant be bothered to find someone that has one so unless one of you does ill just catch some different animals

I LOVE HIM

[deep badger]

I got my sandworm from some random person at the nexus slipping eggs into peoples pockets, never give up hope

[frozen lichen]

This sounds suspiciously like the premise of the first Harry Potter book

[olive swallow]

what theres an expedition with a flying snake

i know the sandworm but not the flying snake

[dawn sable]

@olive swallow Sandworms come out of the ground, thepet you get from that Expd is technically a Flying Snake type, but those have all the same body part options as sandworms.

[olive swallow]

ah

[deep badger]

I mostly use it as a catch all term for all of them, including the one from the expedition, the titan ones I just prefer to not think about

[hollow coral]

@dawn sable where can i download the mod to get flying pets and can i ride them

[honest bloom]

#nms-fauna message

[narrow niche]

I found a big boi that’s able to fly

[median scroll]

What material gives the most growth?

[deep badger]

there are some foods that give the maximum growth per cycle, which you may need to do multiple times to reach the max size, but chlorine is a good alternative that can be made in large amounts and needs only a little for a full dose

[hollow coral]

Yea but I can't be bothered to find someone with an egg

[honest bloom]

maybe ask someone in #nms-lfg-or-trades or #nms-modding

[median scroll]

How about overdoses?

[hollow coral]

Alr I'll ask someone later

[median scroll]

What happens if you modify 1 egg 2 or more times?

[dawn sable]

@median scroll Colour gets overridden to last dye item used, only the 1st gene mutation applies, size changes are cumulative, and behaviour/traits I think are as well, but not sure

[median scroll]

Aight

Thanks for the info

[lost jasper]

In case anyone is looking for a large werewolf Spinosaurus.

[hollow coral]

Looks cool

[lost jasper]

I thought so. My home planet center Euclid.

[hallow ivy]

Well I have never seen this before

[short flicker]

Ears 😵‍💫

[narrow niche]

I saw one of those but I couldn’t figure out how to get it out of the ground

[narrow willow]

Sids are considered Burrowers, so not normally adoptable without SaveEditing.

[narrow niche]

K thank you

[white hill]

looks like stitch if he was green

[short flicker]

Someone on Reddit said the same thing

[white hill]

now i need one of those in blue!

[crimson needle]

How do i get a sandworm?

[wicked ledge]

They were a reward from an earlier expedition but someone who has one can give you can egg

[crimson needle]

spidey boi on bubble planet, the little hands

[wise kraken]

There is a legit flyer worm specifically from an expedition reward however I haven’t kept up on if that was one of the exp. they reran though might have to wait until it circles around again

[dawn sable]

It was Expd4, wasnt rerun this year @wise kraken

[mighty nacelle]

New pet

[white hill]

the little run 🤣

[twilit sundial]

New pet goes hard

[shadow plinth]

Anyone have the Helios, quad and whispering eggs their willing to trade for

[wicked ledge]

Daaang that’s a sick dino

[mighty nacelle]

Wait

So

Assuming a pet is big enough

Can you ride it even if it's still a baby?

[narrow willow]

Look. It's a thing.

[wicked ledge]

If it’s big enough I’d say so

[olive swallow]

i think i like mine just a tad more

The Great Granddaddy Pod is out to get you

[left iron]

my new infant

[frozen lichen]

No pic but I found this flying lily pad with legs and no face that zooms real fast

[upper olive]

anyone got a sandworm

[cinder slate]

I hatched something strange...

[viral isle]

thats one weirdo

[cinder slate]

I was expecting a rex and got that instead.

[sharp whale]

Is that a mod that makes it glow?
Never seen that before

[minor onyx]

How do you get companions?

[foggy brook]

You feed them

Craft creature pellets

Then interact once they have eaten

[minor onyx]

Oh alr

[viral isle]

👀

[deep panther]

love the butterfly worm things

[mystic zephyr]

Look at this little guy I found! Gonna name the species space Squishies 😂💜

[vagrant kestrel]

is there a list of what each companion accessory does

[wicked ledge]

I think accessories are just cosmetic

[glossy jungle]

do companions have different speeds and attributes?

as in, could one possibly get a faster scrimblo to ride

[wicked ledge]

Companions do very in speed! Personality/behavior as well which you can adjust in the egg sequencer. I’ll defer to someone who knows exactly what makes a companion faster, but I believe they get slower as they go up in size. Mechafauna are hella fast usually

[glossy jungle]

alright

is the same principle true with flight?

[narrow willow]

Tryin to breed a champion?

[glossy jungle]

could i make a creature that both runs and flies?

[glossy jungle]

thinking about it yeah

i played with the genetic sequencer and its pretty interesting

[cinder niche]

I need a godzilla pet, the activated indium totally isn't a bribe for anyone out there that can make one

(normal mode)

[heavy quail]

WHERE DID YOU FIND HIM

[mystic zephyr]

I don't recall but I can get you an egg

[heavy quail]

Sure, but I won't be on til january 1st

[mystic zephyr]

That's fine just DM me when you're ready for one and I'll get you an egg@heavy quail

[heavy quail]

kek

[teal bramble]

Ah finally relocated this one’s home planet so I got an egg

[teal bramble]

Though honestly I’m not going to use it I’m too focused on increasing this guys size

[sly helm]

Found my first diplo and mushroom beetle today

[untold pilot]

Hello, anyone available to help out with advice?

[tribal coral]

Mine bettle carrys rock i think. The are quite rare i think

[olive swallow]

You guys got any spliced pets?

Like save editted pets with different descriptors

[elfin vault]

Dropping this here for the hell of it.

(Second picture for Scale)

[crimson needle]

The lil thing is beautiful

[wicked ledge]

Thanks @cerulean silo :DD its so SPEEDY

[cerulean silo]

Haha! Enjoy the birb.

[eternal folio]

I got a robo doggo

[olive swallow]

My newest creations, the Energloon Bloon and the Wisplimp Pillar

[wicked ledge]

so, y’all put pineapple on pizza?

[mortal blade]

i would like to name the energloon balloon ‘Schloip’ and the Wisplimp ‘Sclouwsp’

[olive swallow]

well you can name it yourself that

i happen to possess a naming scheme where every pet has its own name that defines it

[crimson needle]

Im looking for unique pets

[olive swallow]

alright so

how unique we talking about here

[crimson needle]

The most

I want nothing slightly normal

[olive swallow]

you want one of these?

i also fucking massive ass flying worms

[crimson needle]

The worm sounds nice

[olive swallow]

im also in the process of making a spiralis amalgamation

[crimson needle]

Ill need to get nanites later as i have the 2 base slots but i want to be prepared with pets

[olive swallow]

this one you won't be able to interact with

but it will horrific and disgusting

[crimson needle]

I dont mind

[olive swallow]

unlawfully grafting genetic material is my specialty after all

[crimson needle]

Can i have a worm?

[olive swallow]

you may have a worm

let me log on

[crimson needle]

(:

[olive swallow]

dm me your code and ill do the same

[olive swallow]

The Spiralling Everglou

[upper olive]

Wow

So u moddin yo get the creatures right

[cloud moss]

Yes, creatures like that are not tame-able in vanilla game

(modded or save edited, don't know exactly)

[upper olive]

I may or may not have just been chasin one for 15 min thinking I could tame it🤣

[teal bramble]

Impressive

[olive swallow]

yeah this is save editted

[dawn sable]

Those of us who save edit on platforms other than PC cannot use mods to take the easy way and tame the untameable - funny thing is, we end up learning far more about the fauna mechanics under the restriction, so our minority tends to be far more proficient at customizing fauna than lazy PC players. XD

[olive swallow]

what other platforms can save edit

[hybrid elm]

How do you get that

[olive swallow]

i splice together the descriptors

[hybrid elm]

Well that’s awesome! I want one

[olive swallow]

cant get you one

maybe not ever now

my computer has been restarting a black screen for the past fifteen minutes

and i fucking hate life now

[wicked ledge]

Awww big dino friends lovely

[midnight lodge]

how do i get one of the cool worms

[olive swallow]

hey dm me when ur available i have an egg ready now

[shrewd mauve]

fixed or nah

[olive swallow]

ye

[shrewd mauve]

ah good

[olive swallow]

you want an egg?

its incomplete but i got eggs

[cobalt anvil]

I’m sorry I’m new but what are pets in no mans sky and how do I get them (also do I have to have mods?)

[olive swallow]

pets are just creatures you tame

you craft creature pellets with carbon

and feed them to any animal that allows you to

you then interact with them and adopt

[cobalt anvil]

ohh ok that’s simple thank you so much 🙏

[olive swallow]

boom

pets

you cannot tame flying pets, underwater pets, drills, diggers, horrors, and living rocks however

[dawn sable]

Anything with wings that lands on the ground at some point is tameable, as well as protoflyers, which is basically any random thing that flies without wings <25u above the ground

[wicked ledge]

Also adding to creature pellets - once you get a nutrient processor, you can process carbon into creature pellets at a much better ratio

[proud ice]

I need some help please. I have two quad egg from the Expedition 5 and I want to move one to another save. You can keep one 😁

[shrewd mauve]

Im good thanks

[narrow willow]

Did you get it as an Expedition reward? Or did someone gift it to you?

[proud ice]

Expedition reward

[narrow willow]

Then you should be able to claim it on any old or future save at the Anomaly kiosk.

[proud ice]

My main save glitched and I can't redeem again

[narrow willow]

Ah...

I'd help you out, but I can't get on for a while.

[proud ice]

No problem

If you can get it another time I appreciate it.

[upper belfry]

Ok, so, the Quad companions can grow in size, albiet very very slowly.

I basically maxed out the growth increase modification and got only .1 m increase BUT they are born fully matured and it would take awhile, but they can grow.

[olive swallow]

huh

[short flicker]

Found something similar to an armadillo in Euclid

[ornate tendon]

my dino pet

[crimson needle]

Where did you get that

Please can you dm me the glyphs of planet

[ornate tendon]

I can't do that right now, but I will try

[crimson needle]

Thanks bro

Bro that creature is really cool

[ornate tendon]

I sent you

[crimson needle]

I don’t know what this thingy is and I don’t want to know, but I hope it’s living it’s best life

[teal bramble]

Looks more like an… anteater, maybe?

Armadillos are the ones with the shell things I think

Comparison

Hm

Actually maybe not

Armadillo might be a better comparison tbh

[short flicker]

@teal bramble Head is more like an armadildo. The body is probably more like an anteater.

[teal bramble]

Yea that sounds about right

[short flicker]

If it had a turtle shell like some large animals do

So, a while back I discovered a massive flaw in pet dye charts. Texture is a function of CreatureSeed and ColourBaseSeed, for pets that have been dyed, or descended from a dyed pet. It determines the which pattern pet markings are, and unfortunately, there are a couple of textures that dramatically alter colour. Below are 3 examples where the same item used to dye the same type of pet with a different CreatureSeed results in a different colouring.

As you can see, the pets basically share the same colours, however they are applied to different parts - unfortunately, this inversion still makes a pretty big difference in appearance.

@cerulean silo @ember wave

[cerulean silo]

What the…

[cerulean silo]

But there’s no definitive solution to this other than testing the same kind of material to color different seeded animals with same parts, especially in the case of modded animals. Isn’t it?

And if the texture are a function of both of those seeds, wouldn’t it also mean a pre-designed creature (modded in this case) would also effect the outcome of the egg’s default coloring scheme, thus making it different from what can be achieved in game through procgen?

[dawn sable]

@cerulean silo Edited pets can only have impossible colours if a custom colour seed is applied. Every item/group that dyes pets results in a specific colour seed. For texture, there are a limited number of options, and only an actual mod would be able to result in impossible combinations

Actually, even an edited pet wouldnt result in an impossible colour combination

[cerulean silo]

Interesting.

Therefore it does come down to a flaw in the information, although I suspect there would’ve been enough research data at the time of creating the chart.

[dawn sable]

But the issue about testing differently seeded pets of the same type is a problem, because it isn't as simple as finding a pair of seeds that get a different result, then applying same dyes to that pair of seeds across the board

I'll have to figure out how many texture options there are in total, and how many of them dye to inverted colours - it's really going to suck if there's only 1 texture that behaves that way

[cerulean silo]

What I don’t understand is how can the same type of creature have different seeds?

Unless texture and color are governed by different seeds than body/head type and accessories.

[dawn sable]

The game generates creatures the same way it generates ships, a different seed results in the creature spawning with different model parts and colours, and instead of base stats you get size and the other attributes. Initial colour is governed by creatureseed, however dye overrides that with colourseed - in order to have dye produce the same colours regardless of creatureseed, it completely overrides, however texture doesn't change the basic colours being used, just where theyre applied, so creatureseed is still involved.

And actually, creatureseed only governs natural spawn attributes. Once a pet is tamed, its descriptor list is what determines its body parts - this is how it has to work, in order for players to be able to change body parts via mutation.

[cerulean silo]

There has to be a game file with this information otherwise how would the game check/pull the data to implement?

[dawn sable]

@cerulean silo There certainly is, but there are texture definition files for all the parts of each creature, and after questioning Mjstral, I don't think it'll be even as simple as checking them all and correlating which are special cases and which cross the board. I suspect that what we're looking for is actually baked into seedgen at a more basic level with the texture definitions layering atop it, and that isn't conveniently available to go datamining for.

[cerulean silo]

Oh that’s even more fascinating than I thought it would be. Alas, we won’t be able to produce definitive data without spending a lot of time on repeated experiments with all of the materials on different seeds.

[dawn sable]

@cerulean silo Save editing offers a way to shortcut this significantly. The only thing the resequencer would be required for would be using each item on an egg once, wouldnt even need to hatch, just save, open in editor, and record the ColourBaseSeed each material produced. If the minimum number of seeds needed to guarantee an.inversion were 18, it would then be a matter of setting up a full rack of the same pet, with creatureseeds in sequence incremented by 1, and editing colourseed on all of em to that of 1 item at a time. It's a raw JSON edit, but a quick copy/paste to notepad, find a replace edit to swap out the seeds for all 18 pets, and then paste back into editor to save would be the process for each items colours.

[cerulean silo]

I have a griffin that’s soon gonna induce an egg. I will try to follow the steps you have mentioned to draft an observation that can later be perfected, with your help (provided you have time, given how you already are busy with other projects). If not, I can ask someone for help and with good enough understanding in mjstral’s server. 🙂

[dawn sable]

@cerulean silo While my pics are of griffins, they were taken before I understood the stuff about textures. They are not the ideal type for this, because fauna roll 5 colours, and these only utilize 4 of them.

[cerulean silo]

With this additional experiment I now have 5 projects to work on. This game is simply awesome

[cerulean silo]

Ooh! I do have other fauna. I’ll share the list later when I am able to. 🙂

[dawn sable]

Taking a quick glance scrolling back, the first diplos I came across looked like they may be using all 5, but it's dependent on head accessory for sure. It may even be better for me to create a mutant with an impossible parts combination to make the 5 colours as easy to pick out as possible.

[dawn sable]

#nms-fauna message
@olive swallow Read down from here, curious if you have any interest in this project

[teal bramble]

I’m very confused by this conversation

[dawn sable]

Yeah, it's quite technical, but the short version is hopefully it's going to lead to better pet colour charts eventually

[olive swallow]

i am not sorry because when i make pets, i look purely at appearances and not color

although

i was very confused when the drill i was working suddenly switch from brown wood to scaly ice blue

🗿

[dawn sable]

@olive swallow I was more thinking about the foundational work, taking an item colour seed and spawning in a couple of full racks with incremental seeds to figure out how many are needed to identify a repeating pattern for colour inversion, and putting together a diplo that makes spotting the 5 palette colours easy.

Tis a chance to not merely learn something, but to do so first 😉

#nms-fauna message
@solar jacinth @celest rune @quiet coral I suppose the Emissaries ought to be aware of this as well, lol. The linked message, I mean. You're welcome to read through and see the approach I came up with to address the flaw in companion colour charts, it's not a project I can take on, but I can certainly help set it up for others to work on.

[celest rune]

The color chart afaik does not apply to all pets (at least robo fauna specifically are excluded but the author probably didn't test modded flying companions). Can you provide an example that does not use a modified companion just to be certain?

Also, did you try this?

[dawn sable]

@celest rune Dont have one handy, but I've done several custom pets for players who wanted to change colours but keep a specific pattern, so I kniw it applies to cats, t-rexes, and antelopes. Flying lizards use the 3 of the 4 major colours as the diplo on the right, with the brown = primary colour, green = wing accessory feathers, and blue = underbelly. The little bits of purple on the left diplos head accessory use the same group as the flier's head crest feathers.
#nms-fauna message

This isn't something I merely suspect, I've known about it for nearly a year, and have been certain for at least half of that.

[celest rune]

Alright well

Theres an email address at the bottom of the infographic for the author

have you used that in the last year?

I suspect they would probably know more than some of us would.

But as a reminder, this chart was made before flying companions were even a thing

let alone players modding in the flying birds (or whatever other names) as companions

[dawn sable]

Nope, I didnt actually realize it was there, lol. I'll send one, and while I agree they likely know more than some, I suspect this may surprise them. Their chart was almost certainly made without involving a save editor, and they likely went about it by using eggs from a half dozen pets tamed in the same place, so same seed, and did 6 items at a time.

The trick with incremental seeds to achieve colour change with desired texture is one I devised, and while I've shared it with some in C&S Hub, I've yet to hear of anyone even attempting it let alone succeeding.

[celest rune]

Ok, do you believe the average player is going to use incremental seeds or save editing to color their companion?
If not, then I believe the chart is fine as is.

I understand you like to test the extremes of the system but I don't believe that's a reason to dismiss a resource that many players have a positive outcome from using.

[dawn sable]

That's fair, and I agree that it has helped many players. One of the reasons I didn't come forward about this months ago is because of the lack of complaints about the available resources. But after I mentioned food groups and how they apply to both LFs and pet dye, I figured it was about time to post info on the discovery, and got a little carried away.

However, we're coming up on the 2 year anniversary of Companions with most of the resources in use having been released within the first 6 months, with none being complete for any fauna type - I admit I couldve approached it more tactfully, but it's definitely high time to raise awareness and hopefully interest in players who may wish to contribute.
@celest rune

[celest rune]

I agree, that's why I'm wondering if the author of the graphic has updated it or would be willing to provide the image source file for it to be updated so we aren't starting from scratch

[dawn sable]

I appreciate the input, and honestly, if I had ever opened that chart on my laptop rather than only on phone and realized there was contact info at the bottom, I'd likely already have reached out.

[celest rune]

Yeah, i have that issue with all the infographics. usually opening the image in browser (or whatever Discord calls the option now) gives me the original resolution

also that font makes their email address confusing.
not entirely sure if its MGACO127 or MGAC0127

[wicked ledge]

I think it’s an O it is hard to tell but it’s wider I think than a 0

I’m scrolling now and this was a very interesting conversation!

What exactly are the old charts lacking? More info the better ofc but am curious

[dawn sable]

@wicked ledge Fauna palettes include 5 palette selections, however there are few that display all of them simultaneously, because they tend to only be used on accessories. The chart roar is referencing is the best of the lot, because it while it only displays 3/5 colours, all the other ones I've seen use actual pet pics, and in some cases one cannot make out more than 2 colours. The image I posted is more dramatic, and represents an edge case vanilla players have little chance of encountering, and those who do may not even realize it. Any item used to dye pets includes the same 5 colours in all cases, however their distribution for a small minority of creature seeds is dramatically different. In the case of these eagles, normally the wing colour is the same as primary body colour, with a lighter gradient towards the outside, but sometimes the wings use underbelly colour, instead. It's the example I had on hand, however since secondary body colour isn't used on the type, it's not a full representation of how inversion affects colour.

So there are cases where a player following the chart will end up with a pet that doesn't quite agree with the chart, wondering why it indicates the wrong colour dominance.

[wicked ledge]

Thanks for the rundown :)) very informative

Are you planning on testing/working on a more complete set of info?

[dawn sable]

I can help others get started and organized, but save editing on PS4 is much lengthier proposition than on PC, and once set up, the best way to go about this is going to involve repeatedly editing in sets of pets, so a PC player could likely complete it 3x faster than I could; a small group of PC players divvying up the work would be awesome, it wouldn't take me much time to intruct and get them up and running.

@wicked ledge

[wicked ledge]

Gotcha. It’d be really nice to get people into it, actually. That definitely sounds doable. I don’t think I can make any more commitments myself atm but I’d like to see it happen

[prime gate]

Is it true that making a creature genetically smaller also tends to make it run faster as a mount?

[deep badger]

When I was mucking around with extreme creature sizes I did find the flying butterfly at 0.5 scale was much faster than the one at size 8.0, and I noticed the same thing between the parent and child robot antelope but I don't know the specifics

[dawn sable]

@prime gate As a general rule, yes, but there are 2 major exceptions: Robofauna and Flying Beetles both become faster when you resequence their eggs to be larger.

[prime gate]

Awesome, good to know - what’s the perk to having a bigger animal, are they more survivable in combat or something like that?

[frosty stratus]

they run faster since they have larger legs. Since my main is in creative i don’t quite know about their defense as much but it would make sense for them to have a better defense via their size

[hollow eagle]

i made a flying rocket thing

out of a floating glowing rock

nooo why save edit yiur animals

that is cruel

[dawn sable]

@hollow eagle Because some of us like to channel our inner Dr. Frankenstein, lol

[hollow eagle]

😱

[dawn sable]

I don't care to edit em bigger than the resequencer can, but splicing together freaks that are otherwise impossible is a whole other story XD

[frosty stratus]

i’m trying to make a giant version of this

so that it’l be taller than a giraffe >:3

[dire ivy]

Damn, that's an awesome one there

[frosty stratus]

so is this a lizard or a cat?

[dawn sable]

@frosty stratus Yes, lol. The cat fauna type includes parts for a number of things, including lizard, wolf, hog, and alien.

[frosty stratus]

alright, also,

i got an egg from that guy, might try some different materials for colors on him, i will most likely post photos on it in a few days

Oo

Btw do AI minotaurs count as pets or at least something the AI does

neither afaik

the ai activates when you exist the minotaur

and it just walks around

come to think of it

does it even attack

Maybe you didn’t add enough? Idk I’m not super good at this

[mighty bluff]

anyone has a sandworm egg

[dire bough]

can i mess with the helio egg and make hime bigger and stuff?

can someone do it for me will give mats or money or whatevcer you need

[dawn sable]

@carmine thicket Several fauna types get a different colour result from the same material. I can tell you right now that you'll never manage a white bonecat, the primary colour on those is a textural override, with none of the possibilities being white. It's always yellowish, or greyish with possible green accent.

[carmine thicket]

I got an grey-white on my beetle but thanks for info

[dawn sable]

Yep, the fauna types that respond differently don't all respond the same as each other, lol.

[wicked ledge]

Do you happen to know possibilities for feline fauna like this one? Like if I could make it all white or red? The lighting is hard to see the current color with but it had white, green, and brown in it

[carmine thicket]

How do I get biggest change for grey ish color on him?

[dawn sable]

@wicked ledge Cats use the common colour charts, for the most part, unfortunately I don't think any material results in a fully monochromatic palette.

@carmine thicket Pretty much impossible to say, because textural override is dependent on creature seed as well as colour seed.

[carmine thicket]

Btw with my anti matter his skin color didn’t even change how can that happen?

[wicked ledge]

Ah darn. So like the table on the wiki page would probably be mostly accurate?

[crimson needle]

Best way is to just experiment. I tried using those charts but they're not always for all creatures

[dawn sable]

@wicked ledge I havent looked at the wiki table, but shall DM you a little later to discuss further, busy now.

[wicked ledge]

no problem, no rush!

[vast wing]

very old post but I'll repost here bcs I think it's cool af. posted by FrankensteinLaw in NMSCoordinates Reddit

it glows

anyone have/found a creature similar to the Dumbo Octopus?

[crimson needle]

@vast wing Got a paradise planet in a system I'm currently working with the ufo's

[charred comet]

wait, creatures arent procedurally generated in no mans sky too right?

[tribal coral]

Each pet type has parts that game mixes

Simliar to ships

[dawn sable]

@charred comet Yes, they are. Some simple fauna only roll body + colour, but others can have 10 or more descriptors, like T-Rexes, with a potential parts list 170 entries long, and using up to 5 different palette colours + 1 or 2 textural overrides.

Oh yeah, and patterning (scales, stripes, half n half, gradient, and more, each with multiple variations)

[prime gate]

If a creature has two tails, is there a way to modify its eggs so it has one?

[dawn sable]

@prime gate Probably, depends on the available options. However, doing so using the resequencer will guaranteedly alter other parts in the process, due to the nature of the mutation mechanics. Also, depending on fauna type, that route could require dozens of generations of eggs, because you are limited to 1 mutation per egg.

[prime gate]

That's awesome, that's a great answer, thank you.

Any idea how many other parts are on the table for mutation? Or does it vary by species?

I don't mind the long game and RNG there - that makes it feel like I'm a Jurassic Park scientist or something, lol.

[dawn sable]

@prime gate Which type? I have the full descriptor lists for all of em.

[foggy brook]

All of them

[prime gate]

Good question - It's a two-legged (deer), two-tailed (lizard), dog(?) headed creature from a barren world. Not sure how to answer you more specifically there.

[dawn sable]

2-legged antelope 🙂

[tribal coral]

Or a half deer 🤣

[dawn sable]

I use the creatureIDs the game files do

[vast wing]

do they glow tho

[dawn sable]

@prime gate 10 Tail variations, 14 body, and more head than either - actually, I may do some research using one of these, to understand how multiple accessories for the same basic part advance in mutations.

[prime gate]

Awesome. So chances are I’ll find something I like sooner rather than later. They make interesting creatures for riding.

Any code base issues with coloring them, or are they pretty flexible with coloring too?

[dawn sable]

Common palettes

[prime gate]

Good to know. And with mutations, do they run the risk of changing species entirely? Like, no longer a 2-legged antelope?

[dawn sable]

Not to my knowledge

[crimson needle]

@vast wing Don't know. Haven't stopped there that long. Let you know in a bit

aws, thanks my dude

[olive swallow]

legit thought that was a pic of the pet and i was about to ask for the glypjs

[olive swallow]

is this a Protoflyer?

[narrow willow]

Might help?

[crimson needle]

I've never had much luck getting anything other than grey on them

Never tried anything with these ones in particular tho

[dawn sable]

@narrow willow Those results fail to mention that they rely on specific model parts to actually appear that way

[vast wing]

idk, can't get to that galaxy yet

It's the starting galaxy

[olive swallow]

lmfao

[crimson needle]

he meant the one I posted, is in hilbert

[crimson needle]

@vast wing gotcha

[tame wadi]

Does anybody have a griffin egg?

[crimson needle]

Anybody got a whispering companion egg I can get/trade off of them?

[narrow willow]

u still around?

[carmine thicket]

This thing looking insane

[mighty bluff]

is this a sandworm or no?

[carmine thicket]

@mighty bluff do you have an egg from that species?

[mighty bluff]

Its still young

[carmine thicket]

Oh ok

Can you notify me when it has an egg (if you have extra)

I like experimenting on animal eggs

Also I have an question if I dye my animal with anti matter does the dye stay in offspring or not?

[prime gate]

It’s a gene manipulation, so it should…? Not talking from experience 🙏

[narrow willow]

No. Its a SaveEdited skyworm. Not normally adoptable, but someone can gift you an egg.

[mighty bluff]

I dont get it so it is or just a knock off?

[wicked ledge]

Sandworm =/= skyworm

There are flying fauna that can’t be tamed, skyworms, and there’s the old expedition reward sandworm, right?

[narrow willow]

Its a High Flyer, like a Dragon or Griffin. You can see them on planets sometimes, but they cant land and are not interactable normally. Someone Save edited it to make it a companion. SandWorms were Expedition 4 rewards.

First pic is a Sandworm.

[crimson needle]

Is there a sand worm companion?

[mighty bluff]

Then does someone have a egg of a sandworm🥺

[narrow willow]

Lots of folks can hook you up with an Exp4 egg. I'd help u out myself, but I cant get on for a few hours.

[crimson needle]

I want to do exp 4 now I need a sandworm

[mighty bluff]

Thats ok hbt tommorow at 3pm cet

[mighty bluff]

U cant

Its limited time only

[narrow willow]

I'll try. Like I said, lots of people have them to share. I'll DM you tomorrow and see if u still need one.

[crimson needle]

They might run it back, they just ran back 6 7 and 8 didn't they?

[mighty bluff]

Alright cya then👍

[mighty bluff]

No i dont think so

[lost lantern]

What resource in the egg sequencer would increase size the most?

[dawn sable]

@wicked ledge@crimson needleAll worm pets, including the Expedition reward, are Flying Snakes (skyworm), HG simply added the sandworm model parts to the procgen pool for Flying Snake for the functional pets - sure, an actual sandworm can be edited in, but it is completely nonfunctional as a pet

[lost lantern]

For this type of creature?

[dawn sable]

A 100% dose always has the same result, regardless of the material used (excepting dyes)

[lost lantern]

Oh

Is there a size limit because I've given it a 100% dose and it didn't change size at all

[dawn sable]

Yep, if the thing says Inherited instead of increasing/decreasing, you're at the cap

[lost lantern]

It said increasing

But it didn't

Increase size

[dawn sable]

UI glitch, most likely

[lost lantern]

That sucks

I wanted to increase it's size so it looks like I'm riding a flying serpent or dragon

[wicked ledge]

Ahh I see. So for all intents and purposes, excluding save editing questions, I just call procgen flying snakes “skyworms” and the expedition-specific ones “sandworm” - I assume that suffices for most questions here, just to distinguish naturally spawning ones from the specific expedition reward?

[dawn sable]

The expedition one IS a naturally spawning one @wicked ledge

[wicked ledge]

Yes, I’m talking about the specific one you can claim as an egg from the QS vendor, not a worm that happens to spawn naturally that most people will never see in the wild

[dawn sable]

@wicked ledge The specific one you claim as a reward is a Flying Snake - I was about to say it's identical to ones seen flying in the wild, but there's a possibility HG coded them to only procgen from the parts pool sandworms use, so I suppose I withdraw my objection for now, lol. Don't care enough to prioritize researching that over other things. 🙂

[wicked ledge]

Lol alright. I’ll leave the nitpicky details to everyone else, but the most important thing imo is to make sure people are on the same page when discussing questions, so I personally felt it made more sense to refer to the expedition reward worm and the skyworms as separate things, even if there can be some visual overlap somewhere. Not positive what the community-wide consensus is on their common names 😅

[deep badger]

@lost lantern , if you check your companions size in the registry and it doesn't say 3.0m then it can be made larger. Should be this size relatively when at that point.

[lost lantern]

Woah

That awesome

I want one

Do you have planet glyphs for that creature?

@deep badger

Sorry if you're annoyed with the ping

[deep badger]

one sec, let me see if I saved it (probably did but I have a lot of screenshots to look through)

[lost lantern]

Alr

[deep badger]

despite the fact I tend to take photos of them whenever I find them I can't seem to find a photo of that style, even a different color, but I still have them around if you would like an egg at some point

[lost lantern]

Does it not say where you first found it or met?

[deep badger]

i don't think that information is saved on them anywhere

[lost lantern]

Dang

[deep badger]

there are these ones that are close (ignore the one without the ribbons in the photo with the glyphs, those photos were both taken on the same planet)

[lost lantern]

Thanks

I want one with ribbons

[deep badger]

now i'm just confused since I would have definitely photo'd either it or its parent, and I rarely scramble pet dna especially the butterflies since they can lose their tails

[lost lantern]

There's 2 with ribbons in that top one

And you can only have one pet out

[deep badger]

the bottom photo is me on my newly hatched one that I color modified and it happened to match the natural species there, the rest are natural to that planet

derp

ignore those old photos if you would

voila

i knew I would have had to taken a photo of it

[lost lantern]

Thank you

[deep badger]

np, now to add "sort my 1700 screenshots" to my to do list to make that easier next time

[lost lantern]

What resource would change it to like red or green?

[deep badger]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t2CmOUL6u6OwJQJe6CaDSSMwlbIhnKlL

good source of images here

stuff like that are options for them, they dye pretty well

[lost lantern]

Yeah

I downloaded some ones that I want, how do I download them to my phone

[deep badger]

not entirely sure, though there is also a spreadsheet on that drive with all the variants organized with all components that give the same result grouped together

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ksqBO_4UNBpreRL4HucpjMn7OiSMc8gbY1joX45nFE/edit#gid=0

may be easier to reference that directly

[lost lantern]

I found a way

[lost lantern]

These ones

[deep badger]

Definitely thinking of getting a white base color for my next one

[lost lantern]

Yeah

Why do they look so a like?

In shape

Sorta

[deep badger]

There are only a few wing types so unless they're very different then they'll look pretty similar at a glance

[lost lantern]

Oh

[visual mantle]

Lf Griffen if anyone is trading a egg of a Griffen

[vast wing]

is there a glowing spider ridable pet?

does anyone have a white bonecat egg?

[vast wing]

can I change the glow on this bonecat?

[copper yoke]

Hey there, I'm looking for a tiny mechalope (robotic antelope) if anyone has glyphs, I'd be willing to trade eggs as well but I thought I'd put it out here incase anyone comes across any in the wild. The smaller, the better. The ones I have I can't shrink beyond avg. size, hoping to tame something smaller.

[copper yoke]

I think so. I recall changing the colors on one of those a while back and I'm pretty sure the glow changed as well.

[mighty bluff]

LF sandworm egg ill trade for something

[visual mantle]

Lf Griffen pet If anyone has one

[vast wing]

is it just me or does this bonecat have 5 legs

[crimson needle]

@mighty bluff Should've said something that day, I had a regular one too. All 4 worms, a griffin plus others poof all gone

[mighty bluff]

well i didnt know how it looked like yk

[crimson needle]

I know. No worries, I can get them again.

[vast wing]

best looking glowing flying pet?

[vast wing]

forgot to post the pic lmao

[copper yoke]

Four, his back leg is forward because he's walking and that darkness in the back is a tree 🙂

[mighty bluff]

LF sandworm egg ill trade for something

[visual mantle]

Anyone have a Griffen egg I can have or trade for?

[mighty bluff]

LF sandworm egg ill trade for something

[split carbon]

Love this shot. Have you shared it before?

[narrow willow]

u still around?

[mighty bluff]

Ye

[vast wing]

not mine lmao

[vast wing]

Euclid

thing can fly but idk why it prefers the ground

[quasi wyvern]

Anyone got a snadworm egg to trade

[visual mantle]

Anyone got Griffen egg?

[narrow willow]

You on?

[earnest flax]

Griffon?

[lost lantern]

There's a Griffin?

[visual mantle]

It's not wild

Some one bred/ jurassic parked it

[lost lantern]

Ah

I've finally got it to 3.0, thanks @deep badger

[deep badger]

very nice

[mystic zephyr]

So this is my first time having a sandworm egg, can it be genetically modified for color and appearance?

[celest acorn]

Probably, but if it were me I'd hatch it, then try to modify the next egg it produces. Just in case.

[mystic zephyr]

Yeah I did that, someone also gave me a bird, and I came back to a third egg but this is a new save. I never got to complete the sandworm expedition so I guess this will be a no erase save lmao

Apparently that third egg is a water critter, sadly aside from hatching I can't seem to interact with it

[mystic zephyr]

Nabbed this guy in my starting system, liked the red

[narrow willow]

The Expedition worm egg has the stock design (tri-split mouth and centipede legs), or if you alter it in the GeneSplicer, the spiky tail peppergrinder mouth model. That's it. Colors can be changed a bit, but not in any drastic way.

[mystic zephyr]

Ah a pity, hopefully more variations become available later

@tardy yacht

[tardy yacht]

Thank you.

[lost lantern]

No problem

[safe delta]

Found a diplo today! Euclid.

[narrow willow]

"When a camel and a wood fungus love each other very much..."

[crimson needle]

looking for diplo, griffen, attack dino and synth dog. paying anything

[shell trench]

Hyppoceratops? 😁

[dawn sable]

Hipplodocus

[carmine kayak]

ok that was unexpected

[viscid sage]

Yo what the hell

Is this a glitch?

[burnt pawn]

Anyone got a tall diplo?

[prime gate]

If I feed and ride a bunch of animals from around a planet into one enclosure, do they persist between loads? I’m looking at the harvester and feeder machines, figuring out if there’s a way to optimize them.

[narrow willow]

'Fraid not.

[tribal coral]

You need to find a hot spot on planet where animals spawn often

[prime gate]

Ok. Take the ranch to the animals it is then. 👏

[eternal folio]

I got a question, so does the Minotaur with AI, can it counts as a pet sort of in a way?

[dawn sable]

No, because it doesnt prevent you from summoning a pet to follow you around as well

[sharp folio]

Eissentam galaxy

[quasi wyvern]

Does anyone have a spare expedition worm egg

[spice fern]

What the heck is that I like it

What material do I need to turn a creature red ?

[spice fern]

Where you get alien from ?

[fickle robin]

Not sure if it’s anything special but it’s really red and super fast, rideable of course

[deep badger]

butterflies are amazing

[wicked ledge]

They’re one of my absolute favorites 🙂

[twilit lava]

What’s gonna be a good companion to get as my first

[deep badger]

I'm biased, but butterflies are amazing, though a bit uncommon. I personally love the way they look (the ones with tails) and they can fly making it useful for getting around planets before you upgrade your suit

[carmine kayak]

I simply increased the size in the egg sequencer using platinum several times. I think anyone can do this...

[viscid sage]

when I did that, my animal didn't get that big, it just got ugly

[carmine kayak]

got it, but that only worked with my diplo other pets didn't get huge and i just changed the color and size, maybe it has to do with the anatomy....

[viscid sage]

Yeah probably

[mystic zephyr]

It's kinda like a doggo, has a white strip down it's back too. The planet I got it off of, they're one of the hostile native species along with a biped one that is also hostile

[spice fern]

What you do to make him pure red?

[vast wing]

from nms coordinates, forgor where

exactly

but from nms coordinates discord

[fickle robin]

Is there a way to tame flying pets that won’t come down low?

[tribal coral]

No

[sullen zephyr]

what should you use to make the pet bigger and more aggresive in breeding?

[carmine kayak]

[wind yarrow]

i think its a bit big

[upper olive]

anyone got a super sized worm butterfly

[deep badger]

I have a few 3m max size ones and a save edited 8m one

[shell trench]

Those ears are killing me 😆

[fickle berry]

Fren :D

[twilit lava]

How do I get them to come lower

[wicked ledge]

Those are not tameable without mods/save edits unfortunately

[twilit lava]

Oh okay then

[wicked ledge]

Players can gift eggs of those flying fauna types though! Maybe someone around here has one 🙂

[twilit lava]

That would be amazing I’m just looking for a cool flying type tbh doesn’t have to be that exact one

[deep badger]

honestly someone just slipped an egg into my pocked while I was on the nexus, it's always a possibility

[mystic zephyr]

Found a dragon-like species 👀

Will have to get glyphs in the morning, wasn't wanting to pop up for some reason

Might also try to mutate it to make it more dragon like

[glossy jungle]

GIANT
GUY

[exotic fiber]

Cords?

[glossy jungle]

no idea, sorry
i haven't done the quest that gives access to glyphs

i could maybe give you an egg though if you remind me

or wait how would i even get close to you

augh this game confuses my peanut mind

[dawn sable]

@glossy jungle Dont need Glyphs to take screenshots that show em

[glossy jungle]

ah, okay

i might be able to swing by that planet again though I'm gonna be honest
i kind of forgot what system it was

[prime gate]

You can always go back to your log - if that species was tagged, it'll show up in your discoveries - you even have it's species name in that screenshot!

[spice fern]

Does anyone have the bloody bubble pet they can egg for me ?

[slow mesa]

I need help, i just adopted this little dude and i dont know what genus he is

i have looked into the genus wiki and no luck

im willing to provide any photo or video of how he moves cause this mistery is driving me lowkey crazy

[dawn sable]

@slow mesa It's a cow, dunno the wiki name for the fauna type

[slow mesa]

i guessed that cause of the body shape but ive never found any flying cow

and the weird proportions

[foggy brook]

Butterfly

[slow mesa]

he is also always hovering and doing some sort of flying backflips

heres him doing a flying backflip

I've been looking for a while and i havent seen images of any similar creature

so i want to know if anyone has any information on this being a particular sub-genus

[foggy brook]

Cow butterfly

[shell trench]

Legs are def chicken

[mystic zephyr]

Gonna name it Dergen

[mystic zephyr]

Bleeee

[slow mesa]

ohhhhhhhhhh

thanks!

[analog epoch]

tiny boy he so cute ^ ^

[lost lantern]

This is better

[analog epoch]

i have a bird too

[lost lantern]

I want one

How did you get it?

Glyphs

@analog epoch

[analog epoch]

someone gave it too me idk when it gets old enough i can see if i can get u an egg

idk if u know anything from that ion really know much about companions

[lost lantern]

I play switch so you wouldn't be able to give it to me

[analog epoch]

if i get the egg i can join u, and give it too you?

or is that not how it works

[wicked ledge]

Switch doesn’t have multiplayer yet :/

[analog epoch]

dangg :(

how old does an animal have to be before u can ride it?

[lost lantern]

Adult?

[narrow willow]

U can ride the flyers from hatching. The trick is to interact as soon as u summon them. They like to fly away quickly.

[analog epoch]

okay okay

[modest bolt]

My new pet

[analog epoch]

woah

[modest bolt]

first one i did

got pretty lucky

[wicked ledge]

Anyone know if the companion slot costs cap out at 20k or if they keep going? I’m not on rn so I can’t check

[grave anvil]

anyone know a planet with a spider with ALL spider parts (legs, eyes, body) and a mantis tail? no arms preferribly

[vivid coyote]

Ive seen this, but don't know the glyphs

[grave anvil]

oh? got the planet?

[vivid coyote]

no ive not got the adress anymore. And I think it only had 4 legs

point is, you are likely to find them. They happen not often but regular enough

and now that i know I'll keep my eyes open. Do you care about leg count?

[grave anvil]

yep, looking for 8

oh! that reminds me, can you tame rock critters?
