How do you make a polymer farm with moschops
So I have a small pen with few kairuku's and a moschops, how the hell do u make him harvest ?

soon as a baby kairuku is born the moschops takes off running away, and when the baby dies the moschops just sits there, i tried putting on aggrasive and wander, but it didnt help.

any ideas on making a moschop work right?

Set it to attack your target and kill the kairuku

I dont want to have to kill the babies every 10 min. thought about having the moschop follow a wolf around, with the wolf on aggresive, wolf would kill it then moschop harvest it, trying to make it more automatic farming

Moschops are cowards and wont attack, even on aggressive, and will just try and run away. I put mine in a metal open top base and do the following
1) pick up a pengu with argy
2)fly over base
3) kill pengus so they drop into the cage. Argy will drop them when dead but don't spam kill or they will eat it.
4) whistle aggressive so moschops eats corpse
5) wait for satisfying "CRUNCH" so I know Moschops ate it
6) rinse repeat.

Can be a bit tedious, but i have my moschops leveling up in organic poly harvest and she gets roughly 330 per pengu.

For your set-up, maybe Neutral will work when a baby dies

Auto turret set to all, the moschops will eat the corpse left by the turret. The wolf will just kill the baby and eat the corpse.

This is along the lines of what I've done, but I'll put 4-5 male and female penguins in a room with an aggressive moschop and a turret. Babies pop out, turret shoots the baby, moschops becomes the opportunist. I haven't tried it in a while, but leave them all on wandering. I haven't done it in a bit, but it should still work.

I set one up without the terrent but why dont the moschop eat the dead ones when they starve?

Use a rideable dino, ride the dino, tell moschops to follow it will stop running away or atleast will not run that far. it worked for me

what map?

Easier to get polymer if you have Mantis spawns. you get TONS more from them

This is for a automated farm read up!

I believe the setting you are looking for on the moschops is Enable Victim Collection.
