Pest Teleporter is scam, do not use it

[HardWorkingLoner]

1) you have to invest resources to build it
2) you have to use electricity
3) you have to feed it with absurdly high ammount of wheat
4) it spawns ONE basic agressive pest

literaly just go out from your base 50m and you will find more pests respawned, not a single resource needed

dont get it, its useless and way too expensive

It's pretty useless indeed. Potentially useful if you want to set up a pest wheel and there are no pests close enough to your base to be worth luring it closer, but... Well, pest wheels are also complete ♥♥♥♥ and not even remotely worth using, since you'd have to unplug a not-♥♥♥♥ power source to use them.

It is also helpful if the only entrance to your base is a ladder and you have no other wy to get pests up there besides letting a portal storm happen.

Any idea where you got the recipe for the pest teleporter? I don't seem to have it.

When you reach the third sector, you see some scientists doing a science experiment, which... Doesn't go great. Entering the room after they leave, you can inspect their experiment to get the plans.

Thank you, never realized I could interact with anything in there.

[Anker]

Yeah, I missed quite a few interact-only things like whiteboards my first time around.

is it intended to be used as a mob farm?

maybe but its 10000% not worth the resources

[Andy Mil]

u pay with alien wheat that each harvest u get quite a number on but like pest are infested everywhere anyway

[CombatWombat]

Woudn't it be funny if it had a 1% chance to teleport a tarasque...

For some reason, the pest teleporter is buggy... Tried adding one batch of antiwheat, realising it needed a lot more. But later the "day" my one batch of antiwheat was flying over the pest teleporter; Later I had plenty of antiwheat, loaded it up; it did teleported the basic pest, and i left it; Again later the "day", the antiwheat respawned back, flying above the teleporter lol. So I got me a "free" pest and all my antiwheat back.

But yeah... it's pretty useless at this moment.

It would make more sense to teleport your own already tamed Pests. That way you could request a creature that you have tamed to do some work in a specific place. But also at the moment it is not worth having them since the Pest Wheel feeder is very useless... they should improve that thing too
