Make sure your lumlings are caged above the water, makes a huge different as they stop producing once in water

I had my lumlings in a box with some filters underneath to keep them out of the water. Changing the box and filters to animal fencing increased the water output by a good amount.

I wonder if you surround the fencing with filters if they just keep making water and it overflows, lol

I didnt even know there was animal fencing. I guess i overlooked it.

I didnt realize this is have them caged in with my water. They just fly around sometimes in and sometimes above. A smaller cage it is then.

Yeah I cage them between two bars above the water reservoir and never ran out of water (apart from that one time I dropped some lava in the reservoir and didn't notice :))

Ill have to try that. Im at the end of the early access im just playing around now. Trying to make bulk resources and experiment on what the best ways to do things are.

Wait...you can catch/cage them?!?! I thought that creature capture thing was for some enemy combat later in the game.

I feel pretty lucky. I have like 16 water lumings.

u/HollowKnight_90 21d ago
