Pet collars
Ok so heres a thread NOT complaining about the new start, story progression, ect.
How people cannot simply explore more then 1 planet to find ♥♥♥♥ is beyond me.

Ok that aside, I recently cought something in a creature pod (which i got from re-running a boss mission) Now, does anyone know about the collar system yet and where i can obtain one so i can make this adorable little fella follow me around.

Is it a crafting station? if so ill just stash the animal in a storage container till i can make it.
(I am assuming so, just wanted a confirmation cause I was very hyper when i saw the animal i wanted as a pet as a quest target, and capturing it worked so I hyped myself up XD)

There is a pet station, but with the changes in terms of crafting progress i am honestly unsure, because they did give me capture pods early on. Like on the first mission, but i can't really heal the pet. Pre full release the pet station was quite late into the game, so you have quite a way to go it seems.

PS: Star is love.

I found 2 in a Temperate Star system deep underground in some random chests. I haven't seen any reference to capturing animals yet so I am pretty psyched about this concept.
anybody elses pet's die in 1 hit? i've had 3 pets and they've all died instantly, i dont have the station to heal them

LoL you can find collars in the chests (I found 2 on tier 2 planet and i dont see any collars on other planets)
If you're going to give a pet a collar, previous one will dissapear

pets arent balanced in my very honest and very informed opinion. Ive been playing 1.0 since they announced and unlocked it two weeks ago, and pets are one of my biggest problems. I feel they are far too vulnerable.

collars that you find come in 3 levels. There are some basic ones, like atk power, and health/auto healing, and there are some fun ones, like Light, ghost, and passive mode.

I am almost certain that there are at least a few i havent found yet, because 60 or so hours into 1.0 i started finding aug pack and vanity pieces i hadnt seen before. You can pan the camera down a bit, and hit alt on occasion to highlight chests while surveying the surfaces of planets to find chests. Or you can just start digging.

A really cool thing to note is that there is a cave finder that you hold and ping depths, similar to the ore finder and you might say, why would i want to do that? because it highlights on your screen the open areas, which hold chests.

FYI you can catch challenge room pet since i caught a dragon looking like thing from challenge room and it's really helpfull can't say that it could tank but in term of damage is able to dish out a decent amount before dying

I think they ARE balanced,
(yeah FYI, after capturing a pet, its going to have 2 HP bars->need pet station. And you shouldnt really catch every second creature with weird skills like stampede. For example, catch ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cactus in the desert biome... that thing is pretty cool)

That's why they died instantly, When you catch them, their health stays at what it was when you caught them until they are healed.
