They will interact with captured pets if they're brought on board. These pets never leave the ship, and because they don't follow or get lost they have more advanced behavior than captured pets. There's only one way known to alter the color/pattern for ship pets. If players would like a different color/pattern for their ship pet by normal means they may need to start a few new characters until they get the appearance they desire. The color of these pets is determined when the game begins and can not be changed (Unless you use admin commands). Ship pets are generated at character creation and are unique to racial ship types. In the case of humans, that could be the last cat in the universe! Given the destruction of earth. These pets just happened to be in the ship you fled with. You can also leave your pets in your spaceship, and they can be taken to any Starbound server as well, as long as you’re using the same character.Tiy: These are ship pets, companions you get to know through circumstance rather than choice.
So you don’t have to worry about them being lost in space forever. It’s likely that they’ll get stuck in obstacles or even get lost, but once you’ve ventured far enough away from them, the pets will respawn at your location. Once you’ve successfully captured and tamed them, the pets will follow you around wherever you go. This means that you can’t capture adult monsters or other NPCs. Do note that you can only capture small animals with a capture pod, and they have to be below 50% HP.
Capture pods can be crafted at the Creature Capture Station. Home planet pets are more suited for companionship and following you around, while the space monsters are more for combat purposes, so it’s up to you which types of pets you want to go for.īefore you can capture pets, first you need a capture pod. Aside from the starter pets that will be available to you at the beginning of the game, Starbound also offers a wide range of animals that you can capture and claim as your own pets.
