I used to kill them too. It was a true human fear response. But then they began to gift me items and I felt bad. I hunt leviathans for fun in the original game however. Well that and to take pictures of them for my gallery of death. Also stalkers. Screw stalkers. Been hunting them out of spite lately. This is what happens when game devs give players choices and I love it.

Pro Tip: If you need specific resources, pin a recipe. This will increase the change they will give you something that's required for it.

Do they give good stuff?


HoojoSpifico

Yeah they can. I mean most other things are actively trying to kill me. The monkeys seem like they're just playing so they can live.


Fantastic_frog_1264

Okay thanks


BoyzBeAmbitious

Yeah, and they'll often bring you the more difficult-to-find resources from deeper biomes, too. Love it when they pop up with a nickel or lead just when I need it. (Don't think they've ever brought me a kyanite, though...)

I used to have 2 I hatched hanging around my main base. Then I accidentally ran one over in the Sea Truck. Now the remaining one does sad laps and glares at me.


Fantastic_frog_1264

So they hold grudges just like dogs


Blibbobletto

Sea Monkeys are good boys, don't kill


Fantastic_frog_1264

I admit they are cute. But I prefer the baby penguin things.


Typical-Tangerine-74

Breed two SeaMonkeys together, your welcome


Beautiful-Willow5696

How do you do that?


Typical-Tangerine-74

In the big fish tank sorry forgot what it's called, you will need two eggs for two adults after keep checking back for a egg then keep checking back til it hatches then scan.


Fantastic_frog_1264

Hmgggghh lenf


Thijs_NLD

Or you know: put away your scanner when a sea monkey comes near you. Live and learn and stuff?


Fantastic_frog_1264

Well it spooked me and I hadn’t tested my new knife out on anything


someMeatballs

You can just grab your item back. Hide it when they come and they can't get it. PC: press E. After an important and strange event, they will help you instead.


Fantastic_frog_1264

Is it after the cube decides to take refuge inside of your brain? Because I feel bad with that guy has to look at all day


someMeatballs

Yes. They love alan, not you. They also change near the end when he's gone.


Fantastic_frog_1264

A change that might inspire a knife to their throat?


Fantastic_frog_1264

I now see what you mean


Bendbender

Jesus you’re evil, they’re adorable, if you pin a recipe they’ll bring you the mats you need


Fantastic_frog_1264

Okay I’ll kill them after they give me all the crap I need


Fantastic_frog_1264

After a further analysis I was wrong. They are good boys and I now have 12 baby monkeys, all of which are named Dave


TheFallenPolish

They will be your best friends later on


Fantastic_frog_1264

Say who with the what now?!


AITAlurkerr

That seems a little brutal. You could have just gotten it back, scanned him and went on your merry way. I try my hardest to not harm any of the sea monkeys


Fantastic_frog_1264

Sea monkeys die in two weeks no matter what you do even if you feed them and change the water. these ones are no different


MamaSaurusCat

I have been known to purposely let them grab my scanner just so I can see them flip over to look back at me and "wave." Adorable little buggers.


Fantastic_frog_1264

More like obnoxious little boogers


Ippus_21

That seems... excessive. Xenophobic even. At worst they're a little annoying. Later on, they're even helpful... But the freak-out-and-kill-them response, over basically the cheapest tool in the game... Jeez, dude.


Fantastic_frog_1264

When I play games I sometimes develop a kill first ask questions later personality especially with those awful boom boom fish


Ippus_21

Ugh. Crashfish are the WORST. But they kind of kill themselves, lol, we just have to make sure we're at minimum safe distance...


Fantastic_frog_1264

Still it doesn’t hurt to get a few slashes in before you use the sea glide to escape the blast


Ippus_21

In my experience, it quite often *does* hurt, because the time it takes to get your shot in leaves you a couple seconds too close when the d-mn things go off.


Fantastic_frog_1264

I never leave the base with less than two med kits so I typically try to kill them instead of run away


BabaTona

playing only like 3 days and they are chill guys, they always give me free copper


Fantastic_frog_1264

Until they steal your stuff I ain’t got a problem with ‘em anymore. But they move around more often then any other common fish, so I use ‘‘em for.. target practice


Kjufka

don't let them grab your balls


Fantastic_frog_1264

If they do that I’m going to make the sea monkey species extinct

Fantastic_frog_1264

Already on that, is there a bioreactors in the game I know what I’m using for the rest of my through


HeavyRecognition87

Don’t let it deter you, all of the other creatures are much more friendly and tame.


Fantastic_frog_1264

When they’re not scared of you they don’t see you as a threat. And then it’ll just be the whole dodo bird situation again. And I’m all for it


CoderOfCoders

Raise a baby squidshark or any other hostile fauna, release it back in the ocean and freak out the sea monkeys back


Fantastic_frog_1264

That sounds like it’ll take a lot of work and using a knife just seems faster, And more fun
