Downtime89 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hey so i got tired of having to go searching for red gems i need enough to just get me by for now, so i had a idea to cage a wild rat. So i built a pen and got one to chase me in and i closed him up anyone done this before with good results im waiting to see how often he burrows while caged. It beats having to go searching for a wild one and waiting for it to burrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It beats having to go searching for a wild one and waiting for it to burrow. As far as I know he just has to un aggro in order to drop gems. But I'm pretty sure they can break wood. Maybe a stone pit with a ramp leading in and a door frame on other side so you can get out. Walk in grab gems and walk out door quickly. Then go out of render so they de aggro. Maybe you could get a few roll rats trapped in there for more profit. Grab all gems quickly then die to them and respawn and do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downtime89 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I have palliside wall mod on my lan server he does some dammage to them but not enough to worry about short term i can make repairs fast enough. As far as exit goes i have a old style z opening in back of pen narrow enough for me to get in but not the rat plus it makes a bend so nothing long body can get in.

I'm pretty sure you are close but the problem is getting down there but I think if you are just hand mining without a crab just take a ravager and set zip lines up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamron Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I pillared a wild roll rat to tame him. So I’d say it works fairly well. Just not sure how efficient it would be and anyone could come and tame or kill it at any point unless it is completely boxed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatrasmayer Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 from official pve, what I'd do is ask an alliance member to build a trap by your base. the rr will agro on you but not the trap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trqfreak350 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 honestly get bit by a lamprey, use flak or chitin and go down to get some of the red gems, the lamprey negates all radiation while it's on you for 600 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinenorr Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just today I was farming red gems from roll rats for rock drake saddles. Got 3 pens that I trap 1 roll rat in each (each pen is just out of loading distance to the next one)When you go into loading distance of a rat it unburrows and gems will just be next to it. If you want to wait for it to re-dig you can but I just go to the next pen and look at the gems that just load up. If there are red gems I pick up the rat with the crab and get the gems. The rat will aggro but who cares w/e, just drop it back in and go to the next pen. It will usually de aggro after 1 trip to the other 2 pens but sometimes take 2 or 3 passes. I get about 200-300 red gems an hour. This is something you can do just by having rats in traps and remembering to look at them every once in a while without spending all your time on it. I tried dying to make it de aggro faster and it just kept biting the pen for way longer than just moving away and coming back after checking other rats.

If you go down there, with a dino, zip or glider, and hang a right, following the river, you'll hit a ramp that goes down into the rad area. The Lost Roads by name. If you follow the main "Path" there, you'll find some Red Gems within about 45 seconds of entering the rad biome proper. None of the "Big" Rad Zone mechanics apply there (IE Reaper or Drake Hordes). However if you go too deep (If you enter The Halls of the Reaper Queen, you've gone to far) you'll begin to encounter Queens. It's pretty safe, if you explore slowly. You'll find two charge nodes, and a bunch of cliffs, along with a road that goes up an incline with a large white crystal glowing on the ceiling. Don't follow that road. That Crystal marks, roughly, where Queens start to spawn (Although Queens are not as hard as you'd think. A light pet and a mutton tamed high level Mega is sufficient to kill any level of queens that spawn). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Doesn't throwing 1 honey cause them to de-agro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinenorr Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 13 hours ago, Brayn said: Doesn't throwing 1 honey cause them to de-agro? I haven't tried. But I figured out that after a while the roll rats stop digging and just runs away for a long long time after kicking up a bunch of gems and I think it's because it uses its food Stat to dig and then that's why you can feed it with honey but if you don't feed it, it just eats berries from nearby bushes, and when the plants run out from keeping it confined, it just starts running until more plants respawn. So maybe feeding it honey will keep it digging AND get aggro off of you. so honey = gems if it works. Also using other people's traps to keep rats in makes it so it won't aggro to the structure because it's not yours and decreases the time it stays aggro.
