In the meantime, there are also only hostile creatures that can’t be interacted with or looted, which is subject to change. All of these other creatures have their own biomes, and you may only find them in their specific regions and capture some to make them useful for your employee.
Mini Deer
The Mini Deer is one of the catchable creaturesin the game, and theycan craft different paste recipesfor you, which makes them super useful. You will need these creatures in your playthrough a lot, and you can use them to craft precious items likefuelto feed your base or abatteryto keep you charged all the time. Also, they are useful forautomation crafts.
After you capture and place the Mini Deer to your liking,you may click on them and change the recipe you want. Later you’ll need to feed the deer with the required materials to get the recipe. You can simply stack the output to your chests somewhere, or you can directly connect them to your factory system.
Tornatoad
The Tornatoad is a harvester animal, and they are used infarming. This animal allows you to automatically harvest fully grown crops. Tornatoads are able to pull crops from planters with their strong breath, and this skill canpull plants six blocks away.
Tornatoadscan harvest Blue Shroom,Red Shroom,Purp Shroom,Green Shroom,Cabbage,Soybean, andPotato plants. These items are vital in the game. To give you an example, shrooms can power your fuel depot with decent fuel like Shroom Fuel or Corrosive Fuel. As for other plants, they are there to help you finish story mode.
Pushback Splitter
If you played games like Satisfactory or Factorio before, you might look for Atrio: The Dark Wild’s own splitter, and that’s exactly what a Pushback Splitter is. Basically,these mechanic dogs equally split items on top of the Grav Pipes. Contrary to deer, these dogs will attack you, and they can get a huge chunk of your health. Luckily, you can dodge them easily.
The Pushback Splitterswill shine in the late gamewhen your factory gets complicated and overloaded. To set an example, when some items start stacking on Grav Pipe, you might want to split them by using this creature, which will connect them to another factory or chest.
You can encounter these dogs often while trying to claim theEmployee Support Package.
Thebest way to deal with multiple Pushback Splitters is tobait them to attack you at the same timeso you can dodge all of them at once easily.
Bee
Bees can make honey, and it is required to beat the gameyou can craft Meal Kit with it. Bees cancollect honey from Glow Plants, Soybeans, Potatoes, Cabbages, or any kind of Shrooms. For this reason, you should place Bee Box on your shroom farm and also produce honey for the late game. If you try to collect honey from Bee Box that you didn’t place, bees will attack you.
To be able to catch bees off guard and steal their honey you can use Smoke Bombs. You should plant bombs near the hive and stun bees then you can loot the Bee Boxes.
How To Catch Animals
To be able to catch animals,you need to be able to craft Stun Bombs. Then, it will depend on the creature you’re trying to catch. For example, to catch a Pushback Splitter, you can plant the bomb behind you and bait the creature to charge you; the moment it steps on the bomb, you can hit theShift key to explode the item.
If you don’t have the blueprint for the Stun Bomb, you shouldfeed the Hearthboxuntil you learn its recipe.
After most creatures are hit by the Stun Bomb,they can be collected just like normal items. you may catch Pushback Splitter and Mini Deer like this. However,tocapture a Tornatoad, you should bait it to swallow Stun Bomb.
On the other hand,bees can be captured with Smoke Bombs. As with the rest of the tools, you should learn its blueprint to be able to craft them. Also, if you feed the Hearthbox enough, you’ll receive a recipe for craftingBee Boxes, along with Planter, Water Pump, and Shroom Seeds. When you place these Bee Boxes,you can harvest the bees' honey without getting stung.
Bee Boxes should be near Glow Plant, Soybean, Cabbage, Potato, or Shrooms, so bees can collect nectar for their hives.
You can find more information about how to capture each animal and what are they used for in ourAtrio: The Dark Wild farming guide.
