croa nest managing

[kormok127]

please add a work task that automaticaly destroy croa nest and kill them, i've spend the whole day micro managing finding and destroying manualy every single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nest left and right as they spawn hundreds of birds that die and come back as ghost , while they destroy everything in the tower all teachers just ignore them completly , totaly stupid. i kept killing and killing and killing , getting 0 work done , destroying 2-5 nest every day , i hate their spawn rate

I actually agree with this. I did a test and 1 ward did scare one away only to have 2 more show up and since the ward was used, it was useless. They are pretty dang annoying. If anyone has figured out a way, please let us know. So far what I have done is put a wall between them and my farms, so far it works until one of them goes through a door.

Is there anything specific you need to do to make croas show up? I see nests everywhere but no croas are spawning ever?

[kormok127]

lucky you, i wish mine would never spawn

Croa is the only animal that can obtain Brain and Eyeball. And croa corpses are the only material that can make brains and eyeballs, so quickly research brains and eyeballs and work hard to make brains and eyeballs. Brain and eyeball are materials that are widely used. Until you research Brain and Eyeball, it is best not to hunt croa if possible because there is no place to use croa corpses and croa ghosts are quite annoying.

thats exactly my point , i dont say they shouldnt be in game at all, but they should be considered hostile mob and fire mages could have a task to hunt them automaticaly insted of playing hide and seek half of the gametime

I wish my croa would spawn more often. As soon as I researched how to use their corpses for parts, I needed a lot of them and they respawn very slowly...

I would also agree with automated hunting cause it is a real pain micromanaging killing things and we need TONS of rat and bird corpses.

What I do is build a 5 tall wall with a door as well as a roof. That way, the croa cant go through my crops.

Your wolfkin pawns might be eating the croas. I had to turn mine off in the consume window so I could hunt them.

Perhaps more general it would be great if we could automate certain tasks.

For example a button that all small stones get a priority 1 mining task when they spawn. Especially great if you have quilted helpers.

This. You need to be careful coz when the wolfies are hungry they will catch the croas WITHOUT hunting em and eat em. So you will never notice....

I just realized that I could so use this. Only meal my wolfkin could eat is bird.... Then when Ii really need them just hunt them. My Wolfkin would be so desperately hungry that as soon as one spawns it's eatten.

Check on my guide on Croa management. You can click the name in resource dropdown tab rather than screening for them.

I also have a madden jelly with task of turning corpse into brain and eye ball indifinitly no corpse ever exists.

They eat croa alive when there is no better food. You should have bitterrice food scaled up asap as they privide positive conviction. With those wolf wont get raw animals to eat.

Having live croa will eat yout plants and hinder food production overall.

Croaless world is a nice world.

you can keep a part of your upper school as a planting location, for example bellow something that needs to be elevated and cant make a room anyway.
I will have to move some crops because a single bird can eat all your crops, regardless of their growth status

You can right click destroy the corpse, but that requires a lot of micromanagement.
