Punishing Bird is really annoying

[Effluvial Kraken]

I've been sitting here for like 5 minutes at max speed and it still hasn't gone back to its room. The entire game is on hold because I have to wait for the AI to randomly decide to stop.

... Okay it just started to go back to its cell, got within an inch of the door, and then turned around. It's been another 5 minutes.

I'm calling it here. I'm done. I don't want to play anymore. 15 minutes IRL of watching Punishing Bird wander around aimlessly.

Didn't you read its data entries? Punishing Bird will return to its cell on its own once it beats the crap out of someone. Just send someone with full health to the same room, let Punishing Bird beat on him for a moment, and he'll ♥♥♥♥ off.

It doesn't say that.

You could also just suppress punish bird

Is what I do

though if you do make sure you use only range weapons have like a good amount of employee attacking it

oh god, that's a terrifying thought. I usually just let it wander into a main room and smack someone

I do that sometimes, but usually I just waste a bit of energy to play it safe with Der Freischütz's bullet, while having a few nuggets ready to replace that energy spent asap.

You're right, it says panicking employees but it will beat the crap out of either.

It says that it returned to its cell after a panicking employee calmed down. This doesn't imply at all that someone needs to get hurt. Also, in the session that I made this thread about, Punishing Bird DID attack one of my units several times. But it still didn't go back to its cell.

It's pretty easy to suppress it. Just have one of your employees shoot it and then make sure that punishing bird never catches them. As for every other employee, just send them to suppress them. Punishing Bird will only go after the first person who attacked them and ignore the rest.

Another way is to let to escape two other birds and it will be much less boring.

Yeah, to be completely honest I typically just ignore it when it escapes. It doesn't procc Little Red's counter, doesn't - from what I've seen - give you a penalty for ending the day with it out, and all things considered isn't really a threat to begin with. I typically just pretend it's not even there, since it might as well not be. Nothing to quit the game over.

LOB penalty of 1 when escaping, just like any other TETH

all he needs is one more to escape to spice things up.
