When using the analysis visor switch to "Creature Survey Mode" to see what class the creatures you scan are.
seeign a lot B and A but no S
I guess if I find the right biome it will have tons?
That's RNG for you...you can keep going until you do find SSS or you can adopt from others' discoveries if you have all the glyphs to use portals. There is no easy trick to finding SSS...and it has nothing to do with biome, there is no one biome where all the SSS are hiding. Ultimately you'll want SSS fro every biome anyway.
so if I land on a mechanical planet, somewhere on it there's an SSS?
I see only A at most
No? Maybe? If you're very lucky there might be but they don't have higher chance of being SSS than any other creatures anywhere else.
so all the fauna I find will have a pre-generated classing and if I scan 4/4 mechanicals, I won't find SSS among them if one of them isn't
They have pre-determined classes, yes. And if you scan every creature on the planet without finding an SSS, looking at more won't help. If one is SSS, then ALL creatures of that species on that planet will be SSS.
ok that saves me a ton of time
Can confirm btw 👍. I just got one.
You can't adopt flying creatures without mods or getting an egg from someone.
If you guys have planet coords for a planet with those birds I’ll tame one for you otherwise I’ll search for one. I think I know where one is
there are flying creatures they are just hard to find
I did find this mini dragon lookin guy if anyone wanted. Very fast flying
High flying bird, dragons, griffons and most worms. I have a flying sphere, and a skinny worn with wings. Altitude is hard to control, doesn't seem to be like exocraft
creatures have mind of own
Some, I think it the personality traits. But the controls for flying them is turn by right and left not the default mouse camerad control
Found another care bear but this one has spikes on its head and fur shoulders
grossly neon udder
the flying purple system creatures have a lot more colour variation than I though
Is that mode automatically there or do I need to install something?
Automatically there.
It auto installs after you tame a creature, at least that’s what happened for me. Think the check is having a creature in your registry cause when I released my only creature I lost the creature survey mode
That's good to know
Well-well!
Ya I know. I think i posted about asking for an egg earlier on the lfg/trade channel.
I'll take a dragon please.
I can mod the egg now that I've figured out the egg splicing.
Flyinglizards flight can be adjusted by changing the creatures creaturetype and size.
They fly like shit and dive into the ground when the standard flyinglizard ID is used in the creature type section
Not at all to do with personality
Very limited if you intend to sequence for multiple models, can have some good colours tho also depends on texture and model.
SSSpike
What number is broomerrai?
@ocean chasm @edgy moss @brisk vine If you see the previous message I attached you can get eggs from other players. 🙂
They can't be tamed like normal without mods, but you can always try asking around in #nms-lfg-or-trades or different #1418605454300549120
I'm definitely interested. :3 I don't think I have any radioactive yet and that's a beauty!
130#
I have bases in Broomerrai, if you need a lift. I also have an egg for a dragon.
Nah, they don't really interact with you. Though, planets with them quite often have burrows with worms in them. The big guys arching overhead won't touch you.;
I have been. Gotten a couple offers. Just timing at this point. Thank you
gaaaddaam that a huge dinosword
Big d*** swinging 🤣
that orange crystal is an animal but it can only run. you can't feed or tame it :c
big ass dino
how
Scary feet scary feet.;
I make designer pets
I can make any creature a triple S class, and customize move sets
Thank you for the info
Of course! ^^ We're always happy to help.
Hello, which biom? Toxic, Desert? Triple S?
Guess who also has a Sentinel Walker friend now
how?
save editing
I do it all for free
Because I’m against charging people for in game items
So yeah I’m out of eggs tonight but I will have more tomorrow
And I’m tired
it wouldnt let me pm you could you message me?
Anyome do some nuzzlocks yet?
White grass autumn forest blue sky and ocean ringed .. and oversized leviathan for Subnautica 2 vibes
if I remember correctly it was just a grassy planet with hot storms. I can give you glyps if you want to
that's so cute
triceratopish looking dude
any tamable flying dragon?
Same. Except mines a dragon. It's so fast! >_<
proper t rex, garbage stats though (CCB)
Which Galaxy?
floating spines... I wonder how it would be looking really huge
Euclid
do u knoq where did u find it?
You cannot adopt "flying lizards" without a mod on PC. At best, you can be given a Companion Egg from one by another player
You want an egg of it it’s triple A class max size I’m sure 💯 % aggressive desert type sure it being maxed out could be a heavy hitter and it’s a good high flyer
thank you a lot for asking but no
Not Triple S that Dinosaur
I never said it was
i just looks for Triple S
Again... Those undiscoverable btches...
what is this type of spider/ant fauna called?
mines called Cupcake
tyy
Arthropodae is a genus of fauna. They are giant beetles. They often prance, and are found with a crystal, or any other form of big ass
im crying
lol
I have bad luck or all Desert planets are Flyers only now ?
Yellow/Pink Helmet (S.B.S. Class)
wiki is a work in progress to say the least lol
where
helmet crab is here
You might want to add more details for people.
The walker cannot be interacted with without a mod, and the walker being summoned will kick the player from multiplayer until they have de spawned the creature or reset their session.
No worries, I always drop the multiplayer warning right before or during the delivery so they don't miss it. It’s definitely a niche companion, but it still does exactly what it needs to do in the Xeno Arena.
Ahh ok never messed with any of the new xeno stuff for pets didn’t think it would transfer for the egg? Though that was assigned when the egg hatched?
But you could also add that you wouldn’t be able to use the xeno pellets on the walker
Same thing. I always say right before a trade because if I say it right before in the title no one sees it. It’s a common problem I’ve had.
No worries tho. It performs well in xeno arena
No one crashes
bug with interesting colours
that's so weird
How long for hatched fauna to grow into adults
Oh ok, what can you change in terms of arena performance? Does any of it actually transfer over when a player hatched the egg?
Not much. It’s stable enough for xeno arena. I can edit class type and move sets and traits
If anyone has a HOVERING VALET or MECHA MOUSE, this Gek tryna catch ‘em all 🙂
Dm me please
every colour variation I could find of the floating spikey creatures so far. they're very fascinating!
there are probably more colours out there but I got tired of travelling to many systems just for a small chance of finding one
I was going to include coordinates for each one but I downloaded the images in the wrong order and I don't remember which set of coordinates were for which variation
are those purple system-only?
Yes, they are.
oh god there are more colours. I'll try to find them next time I play

Guia de XenoArena en español
in other words: guide to xeno arena in spanish
found a pretty nice bird if anyone wanted a big flier
Was that naturally adoptable?
Unsure. I can give out eggs though
No, flying lizards are not naturally able to be interacted with/adopted from the wild
I use to be neutral to Hello Games's ignoring mods. Didn't see any downside. However now that they're coming to the Anomaly with perfect pets, highest agility possible, it's ruined play for me. And all that hard work i have put in on console.👎
Do people get variations of these guys?
How big is the register of the prize companions?
Where the heck do people find eggs??
These are unique pets and dont have variety i think and bc of that they cant lay eggs. Not sure about glowing eye one
Do I have to fight actual players for them?
I'd rather not
@placid widget You need to accomplish the Milestones Xeno-Arena for them
1 and 4 are the only ones that can't lay eggs afaik
corrupted quad and boundary horror
Ohh ok and that's how I can get that unique mechanical one that was shown?
For sure, I was clarifying because they said they found the pet.
it’s a standard egg, I found this dino on some planet, adopted it, it gave me the egg, I modified it as much as I could and it came out huge
Oh I completely forgot that they give eggs
I thought they just get found in the wild
But they need to be hatched on the planet they got adopted from?
Nope, just need to be on a planet of that creature's type to have it lay an egg, then you can hatch it on any planet
Oh thank god
Because I forgot where I caught them lol
But you can breed S rank high stat critters from these eggs?
Or is it going to be random each time?
The rank is permanently set. You can use the egg sequencer to change the Traits (helpful, aggressive, devotion…)
What do those stats do?
They can allow the pet to trigger random acts during battles. They also affect how the pet behaves toward other animals on planets, or they can find resources for you.
That explains why some of my guys would just do something on their own like a bonus action
Diplo in the background, yay
this looks sick 😱
glyphs to this planet if anyone else is interested
they can be lavender?!?
Hello, i looking stil
SSS T-Rex Toxic and Desert if anyone has coords.
Thanks.
Like to get one as a pet, sent you a DM
Do you have the ability to get Eggs to trade with others
Sent you a DM because I’ve been searching for one of those for weeks lol
how can you get the glpyhs of the planet without going to the portal?
photomode, glyphs will show up bottom left
Where do I find this guy
tysm
Anyone else end up with pets they can't interact with? I'm working on getting some aggressive Anomalous pets and hatched this one after some re-sequencing. It can fight but can't be fed or otherwise interacted with.
Ill adopt an egg!🙏
Glyphs are in the first photo😇Euclid
Oh they are lol. I didn't click the photo so I didn't see the whole thing. Lol
Talk to @twilit prairie . He hooked me up with egg.
Yes. If you gene-split most anomalous-looking creatures they will either stay the same, turn into another anomalous creature variant or turn into a mineral like that one (there's also a black egg-shaped mineral one too). The mineral ones I'm guessing are placeholders or something and are bugged.
they're supposed to be the ones that come out of the ground like the jumping hexagons and light geysers but I think this update broke them
some variants cannot be interacted with in vanill anms
that particular one never could be tamed
that's really weird
You need to use mods to be able to interact with that one unfortunately. I can get you an egg for it though. You too if you're still looking @old narwhal
I found a very small creature I could tame. You can barely see it in the grass.
I think we had like 3 or 4 of them out at one point because there is no despawning them lol once you summon or hatch them they linger and even follow you to the local space station (full size) until you close the game and restart. You can even summon a different pet and it will stick around xD I don't remember crashing, but yeah the no interaction and arena xp bits are pretty standard disclaimers.
Vc and dms tend to be easier tho
I have the mod that unlocks the companions to tame, I just haven't been able to get close enough to a sandworm 🙁 i'd love an egg if anyone has the bone variant
Of course. 🙂 That one is quite popular where I usually am so I keep one handy just in case.
Mind if I DM you?@old narwhal
Of course! 🙂
I don't see any point in grinding for SSS pets for the holo arena any longer. Ran into 2 players yesterday, both with modded pets. Perfect 100/100/100 417 agility on 9 pets. I spent hours and hours mutating my less than perfects. Leaves such a bad taste in my mouth that I am leaving the game. I'll come back when they show more love to console players.
Hello 👋Would anyone be willing to gift me a sentinel quad egg if thsts possible?
What’s the news is it tomorrow yet
Happy to, dm me
O well I guess I’ll pass for idk where to find the Mods
Companion pet unlocker, which allows you to interact with creatures that don’t have that interaction in the vanilla game.
@twilit prairie I got the mod download, I am EST and will be online today with the update after 5PM my time if you have that Egg
Thank you for the Mod Location
4 variations of the robotic life forms if anyone is intrested
love it.;
Anyone knows what the best cataclysis mods are for an egg?
Do i need to study astrology for this ? 😭 [joking] tyy
found this just now in the expo
How does he has an "S" rank 😭
absolutely no clue i just saw it and thought hey thats cool what its an s rank
XD
This tuff aswell
rocket leg ball
Ohh ik how he has an S. Its because if u scan em and see good stats thats what its final form looks like but u get the normal form so u need to upgrade it
makes sense
I’m kinda new wtf was this thing??
Ur friendly neighborhood giant worm
They just hang around
the first SSS i found myself isnt even a normally obtainable one 🤣
heres the coords i guess (also features a verdant-only system)
(if you want it, use companion unlocker)
Can those things be petted ?
Sandworm CreatureID Would require a mod to tame and interact with.
Typically players will use the Flyingsnake ID when making pets for vanilla use as these can be interacted with once they are a pet, but can’t be initially interacted with to tame without a mod.
Ok thanks !
🐟
Preety colors
the low flying creatures are so pretty
Very nice. My glow fish is monochrome, the body and eye are the same color. To get the eye and body different colors would I use the egg sequencer Gene Splitter or Dye Injector? (I was thinking the dye would only recolor it in the same pattern).
the gene splitter either won't change anything or it will turn it into a completely different protoflyer variant
I think there was an image that showed all the colour variants of the glowing fish and what materials can be used in the dye injector to get them
does anyone know what "blue" biome is?
was wondering why it kept saying "invalid climate"
this did not work
dioxite is a radon world / falls under green
I think they're the only protoflyer with this many colour variants. the other ones tend to only have 3-4 colours I think
augg
so cute
first time seeing a plough this big
I think I'm going to build an observatory to watch them do their thing
Maybe maybe
hate to burst your bubble but it's not that hard to do when you have triple S
battle other players with that slow pet and see how different it is
why would i
you don't have to
but comparatively Oceanus is quite a bit easier, mostly because he doesn't use all triple S iirc
so if you want a real challenge, fight other players
i meant the daily version
that is in fact what I am referring to when I say Oceanus
alr
eyy found this cool dino... not what I was looking for but still searching
one of these days I'll fine the dino type I'm looking for
Triple S? What Biom?
nope. all Cs It just looks nice. Toxic iirc
Need T-Rex Triple S like this
Toxic and Desert.
Many weeks no result.
Nobody of this 10000 users here
No reddit
No google
No Youtube
So insane hard?
yup
Found cool looking ones but not triple S stats. But what I'm searching for is a specific setup which is mega rare to find
Atm i got travel bug
1921 Ly hyperrange and dashed line in Galaxy map lol.
100% hyper and cant left system except teleporters, anomalie or bases.
I make user Waypoint... not exist
No atlas station waypoint
No blackhole waypoint
No Mission waypoints
Useless that game.
F
They dont do much except zooming in random direction
Anomalocaris
mechanical triple S?
kinda like this one
found another planet with them by hero2u but ty anyway
Cool
baby's first SSS
yeah
I found a pet thats just a bigger gek that makes comments when i put stuff on him.... caveman geks
A-class, but thought it looks cool.
ASA butterfly
Smol doggy
Might need tiny sunglasses
Sure do but please note you won’t be able to interact with it, ie Pat, feed, induce egg ect
O then I’ll wait til the expedition for it comes back
It’s not an expedition reward, players use a save editor or mod to obtain it
O ok
I can meet on the anomaly station
We will use friend code as its unlikely we will be in the same anomaly instance, please dm me
Hello!! Any chance i might be able to have an unmodified egg? I am absolutely in love with that kitty and would love to have one!
they're in the first photo!
Dang, looks like they nerfed the XP gain from fighting high level opponents with low level creatures with this update.
Found a cool looking armadillo dog
Deathclaw at home
It wasn't too good I think it was either B or A.
My most broken little gremlin, does stuff and when I need it sacrifices itself for the rest of my team to become invincible.
Crab Rave is small but a unit
Why he walking like Bigfoot 😭
anyone got a sandwarm egg or smth?
Sure do, these use the Flyingsnake ID not sandworm but they work better for players that way.
wdym?
Wdym? wdym
like what do i do with the ids!
WHERE CAN I FIND ONE
You can do whatever with that information, I’m more just providing info on the question you asked with an addition of clarity
Ohh can you tame the birds in the sky
Not all flying creatures can be tamed, birds and worms cannot be tamed and require a save editor or mod to make them a pet.
Low flying creatures like beetles, butterflies ect can be tamed in the vanilla game.
Eggs of creatures even if save edited in can be passed to other players
Interesting fella here
When I get off work I dm you cords
It’s on permadeath tho
Uhhh idk tbh. But I’ll send portal glyphs anyhow after work
ty man
a caveman gek is going be fire
Can I get a egg
Oh hey @serene leaf
I need you again at some point 💔
I need another flying snake, but improved
Yeahhhh:)))
Sure dm me with what you want and if possible we can discuss.
how?
HOW??
Cords?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if anyone who has a dragon egg I can have as it’s the only way to get that companion?
Yeh definitely, dm me and I’m happy to make you one or just give ya one I already made.
Save editor or mod
Note you won’t be able to tame it without a mod or make it pet using a save editor.
Players can trade you such pets if they have an egg of one.
I dm you
4 more colours!
unfortunately I'll never complete this image because today I learned that these creatures use the same random colour system most creatures use instead of just having a set of fixed colours!
here are some colours I made with the dye injector
unstable plasma makes this very cute cyan and white variant and starship launch fuel makes it completely grey
next time I play I'll try to find one with the circlular pattern and see what other colours look like on it
Just out of curiosity how much would the black bird 2 cost
A lot of people don't charge for such things. Eggs are free to produce.
Oh that's cool
Anyone want an SAA class Armored Bear-Dog?
wandering shrimp tank egg
aeron crab egg
geno-prawn egg
corrupted quad egg
boundary horror egg
companion bone worm egg
i have these 6 eggs listed above, what resources should i put in them at the egg hatching station to make them good ?
dmed you @low wren
how to make eggs ?
Summon the pet on a planet with it's home biome. Induce egg is in the interaction menu.
@marsh wyvern
thanks a lot
but how can i check where the home biome is
much appreciated bro
Cool looking t-Rex creature- essantam
need a planet with known predatory critters on it .. does anyone know of one ?
in swarm expedition
red and cyan springs
the red is hard to see because of the planet's atmospheric filter but it's very pretty
cyan too
Those are so cute.. where did you find those? ): Do you have one of those code things? I don't think I can use it yet but I want to save it for when I can.
both of the images have the coordinates in the corner!
Oh!!! Thank you so much!!! I really want the cyan one, it looks like a little mage-creature..
so far my journey to find the dino I'm looking for has been unsuccessful. Did find this cutie in the hilbert dimension on a Harsh Blue Globe?
They would be free matey, be it already in my catalog or a pet as requested by you
Just got home gonna reply now
As far as I can tell though they don't just jump from baby to adult cuz she's bigger now but not fully grown, unless she somehow looks diff from the first one with no modifications to the egg.
Baby photo
I love those antelopes! That is a big one though!!
Do they grow bigger than in the wild because they are pets???
Nah she's smaller than the original one
My only pet rn cuz I keep forgetting to play
Polaris came from the origin planet and Catarina was born on Ricinia Gobo
sorry for it not being an actual screenshot
Its fine haha
His neck is long, he's just looking backward 
Prolly has a nice long stride too
Which is something I wish they let pets do
Jog/trot
Faster than walk but slower than run
They do it for like a few seconds after you stop sprinting and its the perfect speed
Scoopy! pronouns are it/its, found on a sporal world about a week ago
my fave pic of me and Glumbo (she/her)
oh! new channel \o/
Managed to find one of those antelopes with long, glowing mushroom not long ago. I'll grab a pic when I hop on again tonight :D
Can't wait to get this pet in Normal mode tomorrow now that I have a Portal in Eissentam. I got a similar one in Creative mode today and their personality is awesome.

My first pet, hunter.
One of my favorite pets, nightmare.
And my other favorite pet, Huggable
Last but not least, Smirky.
my pet's home world has 24/7 extreme weather(always extreme heat) occasionally extreme storms and always extreme sentinels
Your pet is probably stronger than you if he lived there.
I love increasing their size
This is Doli. Super friendly and devoted.
She's a good pupper
And this is Poopoo
I plan on making her children giants
poopoo
lovely name
this is the baby as a newborn
hes going to be huge , 4 meters taller than the parent
This is Alderelle, she's 100% aggressive, extremely protective and independent. She loves scouting ahead and being difficult to interact with. Blood and death are her favorite things. Fun little note about her species, they devour their children if they're weak.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm child scran
This is her Great Grandmother's information. 
size comparison between the newborn highly edited offspring vs wild counterpart(exotic gender)
She gonna be a big girl

(I know genders are complicated for all the species, I just refer to everything as a girl, comparable to referring to a car as a she)
I'm hoping I can mutate her to have long mantis arms. Not a fan of the stubs.
She's unedited, natural species
how do you do the whole taming/breeding thing
im going to get its egg and try and get a 16 meter strider next
My world corrupted so I have to restart
is it hard to craft the things required
Creature pellets are a simple craft ( which is what you need to befriend and tame creatures) as for all the items needed for gene editing, you just gotta play the game. Most things you pick up can be used for egg development.
I'm surprised they made it so simple tbh
Another creature I'll be working on. Unedited, natural species.
Thank you so much for the advice @crimson needle - is there anything you need to have in your inventory/a mission needed to be done to be able to craft creature pellets, as I have tried looking for them but they weren't showing up
the blueprint should be given to you on story progression; the nutrient processor can also process carbon into creature pellets
how far through the story do I need to be?
should be quite early iirc the first time you talk to artemis?
also, have you unlocked the nutrient processor at the space anomaly?
right, creature pellets bp should be awarded with regular quest progression
on my new play through I got the Creature Pellet BP after getting the Hyperdrive BP and interacting with a terminal to obtain a warp cell or Antimatter
yeah, ^
Three pet locations that I thought you guys might be interested in
and this kawaii little guy
This head type is heckin rare for this type of creature
i prefer aggressive creatures cause they refer to you as leaders instead of suit-creature
where is this
Euclid. Portal codes included
also, I'm willing to trade pretty much anything for creature pellets
Do you guys seriously not know how the freaking portal glyphs work
its 2021
Fr
I haven't played in over a year
I just got the game again
I dunno how one forgets how the portal works
This is the third time I've been pinged about Portals
O.o well, some people just started playing and haven't even gotten to that part yet. I only know because I googled it.
most players when they find a portal on a planet they like build on top of them
If I can figure out how to get creatures to age faster I wouldn't mind giving away tons of eggs
I changed date/ time but that didnt work
i built mine utop of the portal of a extreme volcanic planet with extreme sentinels
I read that that made creatures grow faster
i think they might of patched that
reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I hate this timed crap. I'd like some sort of function to bypass it, such as using a stasis device or something
maybe they will listen to the community and add a item/structure that lets you speed up
in the future ofc
I dont recall. He was big
i found and tamed a 7.9 meter tall trike with a spino sail
exotic gender
but for some reason it the creature register it says mine is 2.3 meters and yet hes bigger than my strider
thiccc
Thicccccccccc
Extra THICC
thocc
thonk
i cant wait to see someone with a 15+ meter tall grunt/gek. attack on gek 🤣
50m tall gek: The colossal gek
Can you keep genetically modifying a egg so that the effects stack?
idk how to word it
generations you mean e.g if you breed the offspring of the offspring of the first creature that you tamed
i think so have no tested yet gotta wait until my creatures grow up
i am planning on altering the egg of my 12m strider to get 16m offspring
if i adopt an infant creature, will it always stay baby? or is it going to grow eventually?
it will grow but the speed is determined by the size
large creatures take 1 week of IRL time to grow while tiny/small creatures take 1 day
the smallest thing you can adopt is 0.1m usually blobs
oh cool, i'm still looking for blobs
but ive seen tiny striders less than 0.5m before
My home base which you can goto has the largest strider in the entire game thats wild
wait, my eldery creatures are going to die????
i dont think they will
you want to becareful when going to the homeworld of the G._Boneouxii/ aka where my home base is, because its a extreme storm volcano planet with extreme sentinels. when you warp over my base is ontop of the portal
oohh cool
i'm at work atm but i'll visit you tonight
lmao i didn't see you on the top, you're tiny.. it's huge
my offspring of one of these is 4 meters taller
Catarina's origin planet (Polaris pictured) Rewicho in the Argoniu System; I can provide coords if anyone is interested.
How do people get such massive pets? Do they just gene sequence growth constantly?
yeup
Do you have to gene sequence a egg, wait for it to grow, then get an egg out of the new one then repeat to get massive ones?
I don't know much about the gene sequencer
that would be my guess from my limited experience; the sequencer will show "increase in size" on one of the options as you place materials in it
I have an egg on me so ill test it out with 2 separate eggs
there is a cap for each egg, i hit it, seems to be +4m per egg, use oxygen to have 100% dose
Aight thanks
Do you have to have the creature out for them to grow? i have a couple of babies rn
Not that I have seen
No
The babies take 7-14 days to become fully grown
In real life
Awesome thanks
Anyone had their pets just randomly change colour and texture?
Bad photo but those red patches weren’t there originally
And they haven’t gone away
When resetting and that
I have had them grow up sooner, first egg I hatched grew up to adult in 4 days almost exactly
And yea, I had some change color, was temporary and resolved itself by the next day
yeah, mine changed back to the color of its parent
the little dance they do is so cute
agree
Yes, the effects of modding an egg stack, you can keep modding the same one until you've maxed out the slot. When that happens, it will say inherited when you put something of that effect in. I just learned this yesterday, I'd been doing it wrong.
Not sure if I should have done this >.<
My colossal
So just spam whatever category I want constantly?
Yeah, like if you want to grow it, put stuff in to grow it, run the sequencer, put the now sequenced egg back in, add stuff to grow, sequence egg until you get the desired result. I did it over and over until I maxed out the size on one and shrunk the other as much as it would go.
Alrigt
You probably don't remember but how many times did you gene sequence for a massive one?
I don't recall and I had shrunk that egg prior, so I likely had to do it more. It will eventually cap and when you put stuff in to grow, it will still say inherited. That's when you hit the max size for that species.
I'll just keep doing it until I'm not allowed to make it any better
Thanks for the help
how do you get this color?
i did some tests on one of my eggs, and there was ~25 size changes going from smallest to largest
not sure if its the same for all eggs
unaltered eggs can hatch with color mutants
usually with colors not available from dyes
the first two mantis creatures were altered in the egg sequencer, while the third egg was left along. when hatching them in sequence, the third one will result in a color mutation most of the time.
here is another example, the center one is the mutant
the mutated color can pass on to the offspring
Seriously bummed about the rng aspect behind fauna / creature generation between platforms / players. It's something to make note of when following other players' coordinates to find the creature you want. The process doesn't work the same as starships as an example. Beware that if you load in the planet and the creature looks different from what the other player saw / shared / posted, maybe try reloading last save prior to scanning the creature or making it your pet. 
It takes a random amount of time between 1 and 7 days for creatures to grow right? It just depends on the creature?
My pet's body is changing shape?
yea, my latest hatched egg only took like 2.5 days to hatch, others 4
that happens if you put items in the gene splitter slot in the sequencer
No, my original pet that has not been hatched from an egg
the actual anatomy or just colors?
Anatomy, tail size, head size, front arms are longer, shoulders bigger, it has a meaner look on its face, head is smaller
Creatures will change body proportions as they mature
If that's what you were talking about
Yeah, hoping to have someone on a different platform confirm if that protogek is different for them as well.
Even when it was randomly green the first time i looked inthe discoveries menu, it still didnt look the same as you saw it.
This was it young
This is it mature enough to lay eggs
And it was stable like that for a week, now today
Hatched a cat like creature. Named it after one of my pets that passed away a few years ago.
do they change as they grow? I used carbon on one of my eggs to make it bigger, but when it hatched it was smaller than the parent
exactly. it wasn't just a color scheme / textures rendering issue which I'd understand. it was definitely two different looking creatures, or same creature with contrasting features.
Did it look like that the first time too?
yup. always the same look. "my" hard shell look i showed you in my pics. all of the proto-gek creatures in that planet look just like that even if different size.
Wait... they can grow up enough to lay eggs while still being in the "infant" stage....
no. when they hatch from the egg, they're infant, and they have to grow (in age along with size) before they can hatch their own egg.
wait. did i reply to this question in a different channel?
whew. different user, different channel. not going crazy.
No, I mean, I have a creature I hatched from an egg, which has grown enough to lay its own egg, but is still listed in my companion register as an infant
So it can grow enough to lay an egg, but it's body size/shape has not finished changing yet I guess, or something like that.
Or maturity and ability to lay eggs are two separate counters. They said that to grow to maturity would take 2 weeks, everyone assumed that meant time to take to be able to lay an egg, maybe it means they actually grow for two weeks, the "sexual maturity" is a second counter that is varied
"they" being people looking at some internal timers
My companion is channeling the spirit of Cardi B
ooh that's very interesting!
Yea, this is the pet I am using as a timer. I got its parent on the first day of the release, 24 hours later got it as an egg, 24 hours later born, 4 days later it started laying eggs, now 8 days after it started laying eggs and still listed as juvenile
so probably next 48 hours it should reach mature age
@strange plaza I see you have two specimens of the same species. If they had different coloring before, they might end up looking exactly the same, because how the game works.
Yea, I have noticed that the hatched egg reverted to the color of its parent
their image also doesn't update in the index unless you switch to another species first, even if mutated
Basically the game generate 3D assets of each species only once. So when presented together, all variants of a specie will converge into one variant.
Between wild variant, variants from people you play with, and your own variants, the game only load that specie once into cache. And all other variants will be overwritten by the one in the cache.
That's why I avoid using creatures with public coordinates, and only keep one variant of each species.
Hope that makes sense.
I have two variants of one species (one modified one original), it likes to randomly switch around which gets loaded.
Does it just switch them up in the menu or when you summon them?
So I should always abandon the parent creature before I hatch the baby or else it could get messed up?
It does not actually, for whatever reason it loads the two pet versions fine
The wild version however randomly switches around between the two I have and apparently even one I had before that I had just dyed and nothing else (one that I no longer have) so it's caching everything somewhere
Oh so the pet overrides the wild one when you see them?
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It's both weird and inconsistent, I can reload in the same spot and get different results.
hmm, so if I make a pet suuuper big, there's a chance the whole planet could be temporarily populated by the big creature?
Not sure if size carries over like that but maybe?
i hope not lol. If it's a big enough problem, i'm sure it will be addressed in a patch. The original creature that i've been breeding came from r/nmscoordinateexchange, but I don't plan on returning to the planet where I found it so I'm not too worried I guess
I'm hoping this is a session only bug that will clear itself, but I have a companion that no longer walks ahead 50u when pointed in a direction. It's 100% independent/adventurous.
I 'suspect' it's because its trust level reached 100% (this is the only thing that's changed since the last save).
anybody here know why all my gene sequencer result in the same creature combination every single time
I caught like 5 different species of the two legged dinosaurs type and everytime I put their eggs into the gene sequencer, no matter what I put in the gene splitter all always result in the same creature
even tho the parents are all different and taken from different planets
Try a different creature maybe, I had the same issue with the t-rex species
yeah its the trex species too for me, no matter what I do if I put something in the gene splitter it always resulted in that horned beaked trex
just with different colors
I could not get any change at all outside of dye injector
Still persists
im looking foward to what the lightning coil is going to be, a new weapon? or a reskinned laser
probably will attract lightning strikes during storms
Is there a list of what all the accessories do? Are some just decorative?
glumbo meets more of her cousins
If there is no good reason to keep them around, I've always deleted the parents IF I want the offspring to look different
The coloration mix-up is just too annoying to work with.
I can't tell if it's just a temporarily glitch, or did the baby I spent days breeding just got reverted to something else.
I delete the parents anyway
Trypse: Hug Time!
firegirl and waterboy:
also kill those blobs... XD
I used hot ice to turn my pet into a gray and light purple color
I noticed young/juvenile pets can lay eggs
is there any consistency to the gene splitter? I was under the impression that every parent can give birth to 2 variants (one extreme and one less extreme) OR you can omit the gene splitter and just get the same variant. In roder to get the variants you needed to use different elements in the gene splitter. But I just ran through like 15 different elements and my diplo came out looking the exact same everytime. Maybe it's broken since their last patch?
I also tried different amounts of the elements and still same derplo
i experienced that as well my pet keeps getting the prime gender headcrest of its species and i overdosed it several times
i want it to mutate/ get the dorito strider head
my diplo has like sideways feet and I just want those out hahaha
this is the head i want haha
mine is a 12m tall strider baby is also one of those shovel jaws
soon he will be bigger than that wild counterpart(he is 2 days old atm, still a infant)
My most affectionate companion 
mine is very similar except the color is different and mine has a spinosaurus sail instead of stegosaurus dorsal plate
how tall is it?
the one i got wild was 7.9 meters tall
There might be 3 variants and more. You can use any ingredients, but you have to find the threshold % when they change form.
shouldnt their be like 17 variants one for each gender type, it would make sense, but im guessing its limited atm
theres 17 different genders
Oh, I thought the gender are just flavor text and really doesn't do anything
male, female, exotic, prime, alpha,non-uniform, etc they tend to have different appearences
e.g a exotic version of my strider has a rhino horn while prime has the prongs
For example the threshold of changing form on my mantis crab is 8 ~ 10%
From my testing they are mostly cosmetic and may not associated with the physical form.
mostly stuff like body parts etc, height/weight is the size etc
thats a nice bonecat with a amethyst cluster on its back
All the at the bottom row is the same specie. They change from mantis to headless bug around 8 ~ 10%
Thx.
Native color is yellow crystal. This one is silicate powder
try pure ferrite nice mix of orange and purple
well the height is bugged, its 1.1 meters, but in reality, the actual height is about 3m +
same mine says 2.3 meters but wild counterpart is 7.9m
I am currently testing natural color mutants
Like this lighter mantis crab in the lot
im going to try and get the egg off my 12 meter strider and get a 16 meter offspring
The natural color mutants have color palette not available through dye
Can someone tell me what the other stats do, like helpfulness, devotion
Height is bugged. If you compare actual size, they are the same.
My pet is a 6 meter tall crab/mantis hybrid, I love summoning him everywhere and just being like: yes, this is by boi, and he will destroy you
i am working my way up to getting a 20+ meter strider
i want it big enough so i can get on it from the top of my base
pumping them full of oxygen until it caps out(says inherited at the last oxygen dose)
I found a floating crab that I want to get to max size
Since pets have glitched height, that 12m is probably closer to 20m
Cool
Has anyone tested potential effects of trust hitting 100%?
one of my pets has 90% trust atm
One of mine is at 100% and all of its original behaviors have been removed.
Wondering if this has other effects (even unexpected ones).
All of its original behaviors?
I do know that I accidentally made one pet that would not listen to any commands at all, wouldn't go where I pointed and would not come when called.
Lol
Yes. Basically behaves like it has low independence and helpfulness (both are at 100%). So for example it won't travel far away, scan or dig up resources afterward.
Other companions with similar disposition have the correct behavior, which leads me to believe its the trust level itself.
Yes, I've checked the happiness and food meters.
I've found you need to summon them at least once per 24 hr period.
Trust increases 5% each time. So a companion taken in the wild will take 8 days to reach 100%
Do you mean size of a certain range are represented by the same height of summoned creature?
he means like the creature register displaying wrong heights
e.g you tame a 8m creature, register says its 2.5m etc
100% trust doesn't seem to affect robot pets
all i know is robo pets 1 shot walkers
Oh the scanned height of a wild creature will changed to something else once it's tamed.
yeah i tamed a 8.3m strider but it displays it as 7.9m in the register
but its offspring is at 12m
I have a flying bear listed as 12.0m. It's nowhere near that.
Meanwhile an old Diplo I had towered over the bear. Also listed as 12.0m. Shit's broken.
Not yet, but I doubt it'll reach 12m
my strider who still is a infant(12m) is about as tall as the wild counterpart(8.3m)
It's young but I'm pretty sure its species has a height limit.
Point is the height stats just seem plain wrong.
Height is measured at the withers of any animal.
Yeah, heads aren't counted for height on quadrupeds. Otherwise diplos would be a bit undersized.
cause i like this crab mantis, but i haven't done any gene splicing
what materials would i need to turn those tentacle hands into crab hands?
gene splicing is by far the least understood feature atm, since we dont know the exact % to cause each mutation
atleast with dyes/personality and height we know which thing does what, but gene splicing is a total mystery
i remember overdosing a diplo and its head turned from a diplo and neck to a rat head
overdosed my strider 15 times and nothing changed
have you tried overdosing a bos, and seeing what part changed
dont have a bos atm, only striders(Strider best pet imo)
One thing I discovered is that the behaviors of creatures you capture in the wild are not species-specific, but individually specific. Meaning, you can capture one of the same species and it will be aloof, and the other one of the same species would be helpful and just run around collecting things for you.
You mean like this?
Yeah but if they're aggressive they're generally gonna be aggressive?
I have some very aggressive pets, they don't act like it
Probably? I was talking about non-aggressive ones, actually. Didn't experiment with ones who are hostile to you already.
Anyone gotten their pet to 100% helpfulness?
Probably someone has but uhh with a big diplo I think most people would want independence
Yo is it possible for this guide to get pinned anywhere
It would just be useful for anybody
Is there a guide that explains the use of companions other than feeding them? I grabbed a few put the miner thing on but nothing happened. Tried the storage box thing and nothing. Devs have not explained anything about their use that I have been able to find. Though I usually fail at google.
Mine are just to be cool
I mean some will attack
I guess helpful ones can mine and stuff
For me, companions are a nice alternative to exocraft. Sure, they're not as fast and lack other equipment but they don't require as much upkeep.
Depending on the environment, they can also dig up some valuable items. Mine have dug up dinosaur bones before.
I used my pilgrim to boost up a big mountain
I dont think companions could've done that fast
Plus it humanizes the gameplay experience a little bit so it's a nice plus.
I just wish I could scan flora/fauna/minerals while riding an animal
I could on my old 12m diplo
Or maybe the raw document would be better
Yeah
How do you guys get such good pics?
Is there a specific sun setting and filter you use?
No I just move the sun behind the camera mostly
My chonker
oh lawwd, he comin
where do i find something like this?
i dont think ive ever seen a creature that big
So when you don't over dose an egg in the gene splice section theres more subtle changes?
Add tons of stuff to make a thing big
what item do i use?
I used nitrogen for the most part
A couple walker brains
But chlorine
Is really effective
You can stay in space and mine a bunch of gold, silver, and platinum. They all increase size.
could also buy a ton
pretty sure i have plenty
what do i use for gene splitter?
Don't think a guide for this exists. It's best to experiment. Generally, creatures seem to have 2 variations.
Fed an gene splitter ammonia @ 150%. This was the result. Egg was from the Diplo in the upper right.
uhm
huh
Jut found a 8.0 meter tall strider
i got one of those to
Start with this, ping me if you have specific questions
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/lvkspw/mecha_pet_killing_a_sentinel_walker_in_actual/
Fed the same diplo egg above nitrogen (97%). Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Mech dog/horse is a champ at scaling impossible terrain
Robo fauna max out at 3.0m
In the wild or just in general?
TY so much for the assist. I do not know if you just wrote that up as I could not find it before. See you had this channel here served me well.
Thanks guys seems this is unofficial but it is a game saver for some.
In general as on with gene sequence
General
Each specifics has one other appearance option through gene splicing. In order to see if there are more options, you have to use less amount to find the threshold % when the change happens.
Gotta find a portal cord that has 3.0
Is there a reason not to just grow your own?
Increasing size is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Are you saying appearance changes have an additional sub change, or that creatures have one variation when using the gene splitter?
There is one change at minimum, but people has reported up to 3 changes in one specie
You just need to decrease the percentage in the gene splice to find that threshold.
I always get three of the same egg before testing to save time
First egg is 25%, second egg is 50%, third egg is 75%
From there I would narrow it down further until I find the threshold
Testing with items now. So far, I've found only two changes and no amount of changing the threshold is generating a 3rd (this is with a diplo)
Test was done with robot dog
Also use ingredients that is less potent, like gases
This example here, the threshold is about 8 to 10%. There is a reason I say, about.
there are some variables to gene splicing. the bottom three are 23unit@9%, 24units@9%, 25units@10%
So the change might or might not happen at the threshold
Also people found the extra forms within 2% of the threshold.
Which gas did you use?
Maybe spam the threshold percentage to see if extra forms pop up
Pyrite in this case
It's not gas I know lol
But gas is easy to get any gives super fine increments
So you used around 7 pyrite, I'm guessing?
23 units to get 9%
It's there
Or was it phosphorous
It's one of the 6 basic elements
Because 7 pyrite is 8% for me
What about phosphorus?
I understand
20 phosphorous = 24% dosage
Maybe it's gas, if I misremembered.
Or the percentage is different depending on ingredients
I use stuff I have left over from stasis farms
Nsh just wanted to see what they looked liked maxed in the wild
Oh, i see
Trying to find some black and white ones rn
The height appearing on scanner really doesn't correlate with physical size in the wild though
I am treating info on scanner as mostly flavor text at this point
Yes with exceptions
White ones are textured with patterns, you can't change colors on those from reports
Ah
Like this?
Yeah
In Xaine's video he has one like that with patterns, but pale green. Not sure if green is from atmospheric filter or what
Likely a reflection
BTW RyanM, thx for providing good info and verifying things independently
Are you still having problem with your pets at 100% trust?
Thanks 🙂 I enjoy doing this stuff, even if it is tedious.
Yep, still having that issue.
Occurs on multiple planet types too.
Assuming it's 3.22. my mecha horse seems to be fine through
He was featured in the walker killing video and that's 3.22
I will test it again when I get a chance
Another point of interest is that Xaine started his pet killed wild haz plants before. The pet first remarked about the plant, then killed it.
I have seen pets remark about the plant before, but not actual killing
Do they need to be aggressive for that?
Xaine thought so, so stated in the patch notes
I will test that too
Find a lone haz plant, clear out 40u radius, load a devoted pet and wait
I've seen a comment relating to a plant but didn't see any actual plant destruction (even when I ran directly into one and took damage - they do retaliate against creatures doing melee damage though)
No
3.22, percentage doesn't matter
It either goes up or goes down, by 0.5m
When will you guys be bored of making kaijuus?
There is no "overdose" on size. You can just increase or decrease to a set limit
My trusty t-rex.
I saw a clear jelly fauna with mini silver spheres in em
But couldn’t take
Tame*
I wish some of the fauna were tame able like the tentacles
@foggy shuttle I didn't keep this one and it was a juvenile but.... I do think it was illegally smol
I know I recorded what planet it was from
Does anyone know what each thing in the egg sequencer does?
Dude we have the same exact outfit lol
That was my old outfit I changed
and...
I think I will have to search my archive to find the little dude
Isn't there a tutorial when you touch the egg sequencer the first time?
Did you skip the tutorial?
I didn't get a tutorial
but it seems that once an egg hatch timer is done you can't alter an eggs anatomy.
you can tho, I tried it except maybe the trex creature they are all bugged and no matter what you use and how much you put on the on the gene splicer the result will always that beaked horned trex
I've tried with several eggs and non of them changed after the timer wad done
not to even a t rex
What were you trying to do? It does, but there's max amounts things can change.
the anatomy wouldn't change after the eggs were ready to hatch. everything else would though.
What anatomy?
You can't splice the gene to change the physical form after a lot of things, but timer isn't one of them
So it's one of the other things that's blocking your gene splicing
maybe it takes several generation of offspring to see any significant changes in appearence
No, that's not a thing in 3.22
anyone know if the bosoptera are tameable as companions? The big flying beetles i mean.
pretty sure they aren’t
I always thought he looked like Knuckles
Yea, just couldn't remember his catch phrase that wasn't from Ugandan Knuckles
I still have one of the original eggs on my freighter
do u no da wae? gonna try and find a red grunt thats 1m and name the species ugandian knuckles
Can someone explain gene splicing please
All materials do the same thing and the more you use the more appendages change
Ah how about size?
And appendages to what extent?
Also, anyone know what playful and indecent does
Independent?
Versus helpful and devoted
I've been able to alter things as I see fit, nothing had blocked me from altering anatomy except the hatch timer. This is tested on several eggs from several different creatures.
Alter in what way tho? Like more limbs or less limbs?
And like a second head or somethinf?
And any benefits of devoted vs Independent companions?
independant follow commands at a longer range and dont need as much attention, devoted need more attention but i think they defend you more often
So independent + help and devoted + aggresive would be good?
not sure, my strider is 100% helpful, aggressive and independant, it usually mines whenever i point at something or do Need resources! emote
Independent and devoted are opposites
Do creatures not mine on their own?
anyone figured out how to make the robot dog things white and red yet? Gold nugget made it green and antimatter made it purple
two weeks ago today, Trilitee was born on the strange world of Oughto, and it just so happens i visit their home star pretty much at the exact time they age up
i entered photo mode, and when i exited they were an adult
though much smaller than their brethren they're still quite the beast
If I make a creature smaller will it move faster when i ride it?
Yo, I saw something on Reddit
Gimme a sec
While you’re at it, https://reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/lo4doj/egg_sequencer_update/
Has links to some stuff already pinned, but also the material effects and some general info
I checked the stickies and didnt see anything but is there a guide to what the stats of a pet mean?
Read the first comment
If you still have questions, feel free to ping me
Haha almost all of my pets are playful and gentle.
Currently testing the new movement module for companions. Don't quote me on this, but it seems like it allows companions to travel further without disappearing.
Mine just went 130u away and still hasn't disappeared.
New movement module?
Movement Tracker, from the QS shop
Oh the attachment
A site has suggested that it's for automatically displaying fauna icons on the map. It's definitely not pulling up exotic fauna, so I kinda doubt that.
I'm just curious what it does, if anything.
I would hope HG wouldn't lock something for companions without it at least having some purpose.
Feels like cosmetic is purpose enough
i feel like some does work
The description says it "generates detailed analytics reports of creature traversal habits, to provide explorers with insight into the secret lives of their animal companions...". Fairly confident this is cosmetic. At most it will unlock certain dialogue.
I'd be happy with dialogue. Didn't expect these to have grand effects.
Alrighty, time to motivate myself to get to a net Cafe and continue this game
You guys are doing all the work documenting features
do we know how many different classes of pets there are yet?
like how many pets exist ?
i.e. robots which only have a chest slot. 4 legged pets that have 2 flank slots, 2 legged pets with a chest and back slot.
so, for example, no lasers on robots or 2 legged pets.
i think striders have 2 legs, but probably have flank mount points.
yeah striders have only flank mounts, but rexs have chest and flank
@true path got pet to kill haz bloater plant
There's only a small amount of animals out there, believe it or not. Especially as far as what can be tamed.
I got away from the plant about 50u, walk towards it until 20u away. Stop, pet continue to walk forward, pet stops, comments about plant, kills plant.
Once you notice the types, you notice a lot with the same animations, sounds, and general body types. Ruins the sense of discovery for you a bit, but helps you realize what's what.
It lets you see a 1.3M thing that looks like a rodent, realize it's actually a dino, and allow you to try and sequence it into a larger diplo.
Also, I found a rodent that's larger than what the game allows you to breed them. 2.8m, tried to make him bigger and he shrunk to 2.5m.
