On the survivability of Biters in Space Age

Post by Blaster »

So, I recently found out that biters can hatch in space. I also recently found out that biters hatching in space means they destroy the spaceship. Wondering why they didn't immediately die due to being, well, in space, I went and dropped a few eggs down on Vulcanus.

Biters seem perfectly fine with chilling on the pressure cooker world of Volcanus.

Did I misread something in a previous FFF or are biters the cockroaches of the Nauvis system, able to survive everywhere?

I'm going to have to test this on other planets too.

Have you tried putting the eggs into lava ? because that's a way to get rid of them :D otherwise they seem to survive almost everywhere but aren't able to create nests in such places.

They are able to survive in Gleba, if your factory that produces overgrowth soil has a problem, and the imported eggs start hatching, you can use this as a pretext for science, i still don't have all the datas to know if they get along with the local fauna.

Query.
Do biters get struck by lightning on Fulgora?
