Comments (From Tale 2 info)
- Upgrading with a thermometer reduces the amount of cabbages beetles eat by 1/3.
- The "Inventory" button in the middle is clickable, it allows to switch between information on beetles in your inventory and beetles in the terrarium.
Comments (From Tale 3)
- I left 1 named male and 4 named females in a terrarium overnight. In the morning, I had 24 offspring beetles, but one of my named females was gone. The other three named females and the named male were still there. I still had over 800 cabbage. I was reading some of the T2 stuff, looks like they can start to die of overcrowding at 15. I've been ok leaving 1 male and 1 female overnight, but probably shouldn't leave your favorite beetle in the terrarium unattended. - Tazendra
- After setting up my terrarium for the first time I put in 1 male, 1 female, and 500 cabbage. After leaving them a few hours, still no offspring so I decided to leave them overnight. Came back today, 14 hours after first leaving them and STILL no offspring. Someone suggested I put thousands of cabbage in so I clicked take to put them back in my locker. Suddenly 15 beetles showed up. I had clicked on the terrarium at least 10 times before that and switched between inventory and terrarium to try to refresh it, no go. Only when I hit take did the others show up. So watch out for this.... - rubenette
- I find clicking the left or right arrows to scroll thru the beetles refreshes the population count easily. - Belisar
- arbitrarily clicking on the window to refresh population doesn't seem to work; as per Belisar, the scoll arrows are what you need to click
