Gacha dont produce cristals?
I tame 3 Gacha then stopped dropping crystals and stopped looking at me I was waiting for an hour and the crystals in the back does not grow. Does anyone know what's going on?

Maybe they have diminishing returns when around other gachas? Would make sense, otherwise you'd have a living factory.

I don't know if they patched it today or not, but now mine are getting a 'debuff' (dim lights on the back) whenever they're full and they won't eat which means they aren't producing crystals. They also look away from me when I try to look at them, and make distressed noises. When I run their food down the 'debuff' seems to go away, but it also seems a bit random and broken as sometimes it takes a lot of food drainage to fix it. Once they eat again the 'debuff' comes right back. I admit, last night they were pretty damn broken with how many items I was getting but now it's just nerfed into the ground. Stim berries aren't working to drain their food either, you have to run around and make sure it's bags stay empty.

The insane amount they made, it was going to be nerfed. Lets hope they did not go too far the other way

I doubt it's been patched since mine are still dropping crystals every 30 seconds and I'm getting anywhere from apprentice-ascendant gear. Crafting skill is at 150% and I'm feeding it owl pellets and stone

That's what I was doing last night, and it's not working like it was for me anymore. Mine are at 160 crafting skill and are refusing to eat the pellets.

Are yours turning away from you? What are you feeding yours? and are they in the shade or underground?

Mine are up on a platform attached to a skyscraper, but I think the thing you're overlooking is whether or not you have a feeding trough near them. if they try to eat from a feeding trough it'll ruin it's crystal producing mechanic beacuse they'll keep trying to eat from that instead of the materials they need to make crystals. All I do is stuff 2000 stone and roughly 20 pellets in and they go almost nonstop for a while.

Someone in a recent thread mentioned that their gachas stopped producing when he got more than one of them in an area together. He then isolated a single gacha and it started to produce again.

Maybe they have diminishing returns when around other gachas? Would make sense, otherwise you'd have a living factory.

I had a male, female, and a male baby growing up at the same time and the parents were producing crystals like crazy. After I woke up today and the baby was full grown was when I noticed they weren't producing anymore. You may be onto something, but it seems that even after I separate them they still get the back debuff and seem to be upset about something after they get full.

Just standing? Wandering? I'm trying to find best way myself right now.
In a building or outside.

That was what it was, I split them for a while and now they're back to over producing me crystals.

I had 6 and thru produce nearly none. I brought one to ba new base and his production went up.
My buddy was constantly getting awesome gear so i asked what he fed it. Owl pellets. So i tamed 2 and have them set next to him. Got an ascended shotgun within 20 minutes, a journymen hatchet and pick, and journeymen sword. Not to mention 1000 black pearls.

All within a few hours.

Oh, i also keep stone on him. He seems to gobble it up as well.

if you have them next to each other they end up having 'SAD' .... you will notice they also look unhappy when they stop producing... they have to be kept separately
