Using Things for Unusual Purposes

By "unusual" I mean not what it was designed for. For example, I sometimes use the transporter room for storage. Speaking of which, I do the same thing with the warp room, since I forgot my DS password.

I use the Warp chamber as a time-out spot for my less than nice creatures. [nlaugh]

Randoms room, with a few tweaks, is great for the IQ test because you can set things up so that male and female norns are on separate tracks. Now if only there was a way to automatically teleport all norns of a given sex/age to a given location....

The learning room I often use as a time-out or pairing-off/breeding room since it has no elevators, a door that can easily be blocked, and a simple vendor for food if needed.

I don't know what the pool in the ettin terrarium is for, but I like to stock it with piranhas :P


-Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate! :D

@ Karias- Baloon bugs breed in water.

Does using the Hub to stash the bigger part of an Ovicidal Agent count? Because that's what I do for single room wolfling runs.

@Feddlefew: Balloon bugs breed like mossie flies do - they lay invisible eggs that hatch when the population gets low, regardless where the egg is. Are you thinking of dragonflies, which do need water to breed (and might be a valid reason for that pond in and of themselves, though they're not native to the ettin terrarium)?

In C1, I use the cellar as an quarantine/maternity place for contagious and pregnant Norns, because it's a more private and confined space to treat the sick and raise baby Norns undisturbed. After making sure that I've removed the hootch cans, I fill the area with food vendors, toys and other helpful objects; notably the Strained Carrots Machine, the Encyclopedia Nornica and LummoxJR's Bed COB. :)

In DS I use the inventory to transport many creatures at once. With... what was the key-combo? Ctrl-I? You can also move creatures to inventory.

Just make sure that when your inventory is open, it does not close while creatures are inside. The small side panel glitches away and you can only open it again with Ctrl-3. KILL HOTSing the inventory fixes that, though. Just empty your inventory before.


Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...

In C3/DS I never use the aquatic terrarium, so I like to put piranhas in it and visit there whenever I get bored... or sometimes I even put piranhas in Aquitilus Caverna! [nlaugh]

I use the biodome metaroom for a sick bay. The upper level, I use as a 'nursing home' for my elderly norns.

Does using a pair of stopper plants from the norngarden set to play creature volleyball(where the creature IS the volleyball) count?

Haha, yeah! [nlaugh] Once I set up a system of stopperplants that, once a Norn entered the room, would push the Norn through the tunnel and force the Norn to stay in the room [nlaugh]

Heheh, if you set the stopper plants up just right, the creature will never touch the ground between bounces. [ntongue]
