Gacha farming

[Dreamwalker1232]

whats the best way to farm them? some say keep them away from each , some say keep pairs so that the mate boost helps get more crystal and for food some say give stone while others say metal , polymer. Can anyone give me the best way they found out by actually doing themselves rather than hearing? i want a proper method rather than rumors which i hear. i also heard about it looking sad or something when its not in good place

[Dreamwalker1232]

anyone?

[Senyuki]

They have to stand alone. Otherwise they'll do nearly nothing. If they stand to close to each other they become sad.

[Lordbufu]

It has been confirmed they get sad when they are close together, its even mentioned slightly in the patchnotes.

And thats about all i can confirm for you at this point, i have yet to do testing myself, but so far what i have seen is that it eats a lot to regrow crystals.

The rest would be hear say, and that is not what you wanted to hear :)

[Jork]

yes, keep them apart from each other or else they won't produce properly.

stone is the best mainstay thing to feed them unless you're somehow rich enough to provide them with a constant diet of metal instead.

they love snow owl pellets and that's the best thing for them but again, hard to amass that in large enough quantities consistently to feed a whole herd of gachas.

i have 4 gachas in my moderately large "dino garage" one in each corner, never really have any problems other than me trying to keep up with their stone consumption. i use the "vacuum" from automated ark to grab all their crystals automatically for me.

oh yeah, people keep insisting element dust isn't possible to get on a gacha, but it is. i have one that produces it. gachas can produce almost anything, including black pearls and tree sap.

Mated they are fine standing together. I have 2 mated close to each other and getting an armor / weapon drop every 10 minutes in addition to heaps of resource drops. Feeding them stone plus owl chunder in one of their inventory. The one I am feeding for special items I am levelling crafting skill on, no idea if that does anything but the Gacha are otherwise useless to me so all other skills are meaningless to me. I will eventually feed them both Owl pellets once I get my owls over to new base.

It wouldn't be too hard to test in SP if you really need to know the optimal setup. This is working for me so don't care to know more.

[Dreamwalker1232]

thanks for the answers guys , will try putting them in pairs of 2(mate boost) and away from other gacha while feeding them metal and owl pellets

[Fanne]

seen someone testing it, seems llike pairs are ok and same gender ones need at least 8 foundations space, to get the smile back on.

ok here we go. eng is my second language so readers discretinon is advised )

1. Gachas should be kept in pairs. Bigger level is better chance to get items instead of resources.
2. Baby gatcha got their production abiblities randomly but can be changed due to maturing and feedeng needed resources to them.
3. You need snow owl with middle level, higher better but 75 is ok. Put points to Stamina as much as you can. Mount it and press right mouse button to drain it stamina and spam deficate button when owl begin to restore it. Pick up pelt. Repeat. It can give you tonnnnnnsssss of pelts.
4. Give Gacha pelts and stones, 1pelt/50stones, and it starts to glow and sparcling. Wait. Wait. Wait. GOTCHA! You got item crystal! Chances to it about 5%. But it's ok. I got everything I need except any saddles.

Gacha OP AF right now.

Just keep them in mated pairs and if you must have more Gacha, make sure the other ones are at least 11 foundations away from the others or have 1 male, 4 female and space the females 11 foundations from each other with the male in the middle. I find having more than 2 is a waste though

we can change the production of the babies? how exactly? if i need element dust do i feed it that? and if yes how much?

Unsure wich resource they can't produce, but keep them eating element dust so there's a chance they will produce it.

i tried doing this in sp , made a natural baby from spawned gacha , fed the baby only element dust , it grew up but its production didnt change

One of the reason is can be in inability to produce dust by Gacha. It was ok with organic polymer but didn't chek with dust.

if possible can u check and let me know? i might have done something wrong maybe. also what did u mean by inablity to produce dust by gacha? i have a gacha on a server that produces element dust

People seem like theyre bsing you. There's very little need to do all sorts of complex steps that people claim affect things.

0. Don't believe what the wiki says right now. Some idiot keeps editing in speculation as fact, adding personal commentary, claiming things like element dust isn't a possible production line, babies can have production influenced, and the like - they're all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I myself have a gacha who makes dust, and I got him on day 1.

1. Element Dust as a drop from gachas isn't something they learn while growing up... gacha's production line is determined when they are born/spawned. Every Gacha is unique so to speak - its totally random, and its set when they first appear. People who claim they trained their gacha to make something are just falling for apophenia - they were lucky, that's all. Trust me, I've bred almost two dozen from a pair of max level parents already.

2. Owl Pellets are what cause the sparkling lights. Nothing more, nothing less. In fact, if you just give a Gacha 3-4 pellets and NOTHING else and pay attention, you'll probably see them eat a pellet on its own eventually along with berries or w/e from a trough when they get hungry enough... they'll 'keep' the lights for a little while after without actually making a crystal. (and if you feed them random stuff in the meantime, they'll still grow a crystal.

3. People who claim you get better results from this that or the other resource are full of ♥♥♥♥. I've got....maybe two dozen gachas now, and the only thing they're ever allowed to eat is stone or hide (because they're stupid easy to farm in huge numbers), and owl pellets. The end, full stop. The REAL qualifier for getting the important drops is the owl pellets. That's all you need - owl pellets and whatever trash you happen to have on hand. I get enough crap from the dozen or so active gachas I have (the others are in storage) that I actually am funding a lot of my Tek Structures by salvaging the stuff I get from the ascentend crystals, using a grinder.

-------

Now, some of the things people are saying is still good advice... but not for the reasons you think.

1. Mated pairs - Gachas need to be separated from each other. The EXCEPTION to this is that a mated pair is fine being together. That means that if your base is a large enough square, you could put in 8 Gachas (2 in each corner) instead of just 4. Mate boost doesnt do jack for crystals - again, the ONLY thing that influences that is feeding them owl pellets. Anyone who tells you otherwise is the kind of person who believed pressing B helped you catch pokemon better.

2. Owl 'Farming' - some people will tell you to spam your owl's frost ability. This is actually pretty good advice, but claiming you need one of a given level... ehhh not really. The key ingredient there is having high enough stamina to drain such that the owl spends a lot of food recovering said stamina, and having enough food to not die from running out. You could just tame a junk-tier level 10 and raise him up a bit. As for the poop-button spam.... ehhh depends. Not sure how well that works, but our server kinda lags wierdly with that - the bird'll vomit a whole ton, but in reality it only makes 1-2 'real' pellets. But that's on our admittedly laggy server - ymmv there but its worth checking into.

3. The 'proper' method is very simple. 1. Keep mated pairs at least 7-8 foundations away from each other (make sure they dont have muted tiny bubbles on their backs. Sometimes cryopod shuffling around can fix it if they seem stuck). 2. Load em up with literally anything you can farm easilly (I prefer stone) 3. Add owl pellets. 4. Preferally, be on unofficial and have some kind of vaccuum to pick em all up for you.

Edit: I should also add, you can check a baby's production line from the second they're claimed, and then shove them full of whatever and watch, so that should be proof enough you can't change it.

Edit 2: For people who don't have time / inclination to read the later posts, Element Dust is still confirmed to be available - Wildcard hasn't stealth-removed it. It's just either stupid rare or available only in singleplayer for some reason (as the only instance I've seen of it are from sp or people who didn't mention if it was on a server or not).
