Critter Fence Enclosure & Petting Mechanics Guide
Critter Fences are dedicated containment structures designed to pen underground wildlife such as Voltblubs, Shinelets, and Lumlings. Securing critters prevents them from straying into conveyor belts or falling into Lava pits, establishing organized pastures for bio-electric energy generation.
| Husbandry Aspect | Specification | Automation & Engineering Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Containment Function | Impassable Barrier for Critters | Prevents roaming creatures from wandering into conveyor chutes and factory gear. |
| Update #3 Petting Boost | Move Over to Pet (v0.5.6) | Moving the player character over a critter makes them happy and temporarily boosts capabilities. |
| Voltblub Energy Output | Boosted Bio-Electric Output | Position Energy Connectors adjacent to fenced Voltblubs to siphon steady power into local batteries. |
| Hazard Containment | Lava Separation | Keep pastures away from Lava; Update #3 Lava destroys terrain and incinerates fauna. |
🐾 Official Update #3 Critter Petting Interaction
In Update #3 (v0.5.6), developer Lantto introduced the critter petting mechanic: simply move your character over an enclosed creature to give them love. This makes the critter happy and temporarily boosts their output and movement capabilities.
