Kraegor Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 X-Plant Species and Swarms I figured I would try to keep swarms/dinos away by planting some X-Species Plants around the top of the base for some rudimentary defenses against the annoying swarms. 12 X-Species plants were destroyed in about .5 seconds by a level 15 swarm. Yay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todgins Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Insect swarms eat the spec-x (like you see them eating the grass/shrubbery in their path), you can grow them if you build them inside like a 1x1 thatch hut; but they don't target the swarms when fully grown anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even agressive/turret dinos don't care. Really wish they implemented some sort of citronella torch for low tiers, have to keep it stocked with bug repellent to work etc. and a tek tier alternative unlocked from controller/moeder. (low key... roll rats attract the insect swarms and take no damage; like megachelon and parakeet swarms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any myself and i've been all over all the biomes, though, i have got a few saddles for them from doing missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NE cave has them, but ours is built in as it's unofficial luckily got a pair to breed before they stopped spawning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
