Does Boomalope explode if you slaughter?

I don't want my self tamed boomalope but don't want my dude to explode

[Grishnerf]

yes.

just make a new animal zone only for the boomalope, shoot it.
the end.

Yes they explode. If by slaughter killed hunted or euthenized

Yep, that's basically it. Call it the "boom for no reason zone", tile it up so the fire doesn't spread, assign just the boomalope you gonna kill aaaaaand it's done.

I'm using the neutroglycerin mod which allows for tamed boomalopes to be "milked" of that compound which basically turns them into drug farms and I made the mistake to euthanize one inside their shelter... the chain reaction was priceless.

Each time I got a self tame boomlope or a boomrat,
I made him able to go everywhere except near my base
until I got a trader who want to buy it.
They can eat grass so if there is a lot of it, it is good even if I don't care of it.

I had to learn that the hard way.

R.I.P half my buildings and crops.

I tend to make an animal zone in with the cryo pods of the angry space marines, seal it off, let them starve to death. Watch them burn.

This... every unwanted self-tamed animal just goes into an area that includes everything except my base. Boomalope or tortoise... doesn't matter. I never see them and they don't get anything except for "SOLD" when a trade is willing to buy them.

Freeze it to death or lock in a room and let it die of hunger. That's two that I know of.
