Containment procedures could be toned down a little in terms of size, but I like this otherwise.
Fixed enclosure size, glad to hear people like these little guys. Kind of confused on where the grammar and capitalization problems are, but if I find out I'll fix them. As for Dragon-Snails being "too awesome for Wondertainment" I'm really not sure how to fix that….
Any ideas?
EDIT: Ten upvotes, no downvotes? This is somewhat surprising.
You didn't fix it.
If there's a lot of them, 50x50 wouldn't be all that unreasonable.
The problem is, let me rephrase.. ehm
WTF DOES IT HAVE TO BE A FRIGGIN' CUBE.
Seriously ,ever seen a cubic glasshouse? No? Me neither.
Could always run a side-effect of feeding them the wrong food.. But I personally find the article to be fine by itself as something Wondertainment made later when they figured out what people wanted.
At first I thought was going to be a "SNAILS! EWWWWWWWW!" type article.
Then I read it and now I want one.
Upvoting, though i'll agree it seems too bright and shiny for Wondertainment. These things need some sort of downside - maybe they breed exponentially if they're kept in pairs?
Actually, on this line of reasoning, I say to make them prolific grazers, capable on annihilating crops and destroying ecosystems if they get into the wild.
O.K. here's what I've got:
1. VAElynx, have you tried refreshing the page? As for cubical nature, remember the foundation just builds cells to keep stuff in before they find the stuff, so they generally make it the same size. Also, I assume the foundation annoys enough building connecters "You want a pool of acid? With insurance against reptile attacks? And a few hundred locks? WTF?" that they probably need to standardize cells at least somewhat.
2. Feeding them the wrong food just turns them into a gremlins rip-off. Sorry but no. In an original, per-sandbox form I considered having them breath fire as a way of making them more unsafe. But I thought that made them too dragonlike.
3. Smapti, I like your idea that they breed exponentially best. Too much of a good thing after all….
1. I immensely dislike this reasoning. This sort of thing would be kept on a low-hazard bio-containment site, most likely in several large terraria. For one , a 5m tall enclosure is friggin' impractical when you need to manipulate with them… for two ,I can't imagine any reason the Foundation would have pre-built 125m^3 cubes lying around…
And yes, there are standard types of enclosure such as the beloved Standard Humanoid Containment cell, however they are more sensibly dimensioned.
2. Good addition. I'm liking them more and more. And tacking on cheap danger wouldn't work well for this either.
