Tips & Strategies
Gotches are wonderful pictures that will eat pretty much everything and produce the stuff you need stone is the cheapest thing to feed once they are tamed, tanning food in the wild includes tech metal stone wood foundations even basic materials such as stone wood fiberglass, crafted items like weapons clothing foundation gives you the best taming rate but they can and will eat anything do NOT accidentally drop a Cryo pod near them they will pick it up and eat ,it them they can produce most materials (black pearls ,silica pearls ,organic poly, element dust, stone, corrupted wood substitute for fungal wood clay raw salt and possibly a few other things I probably forgot ) they cannot make cement paste each one has a different production list you'll have to catch or keep breeding until you find the stuff you want I managed to breed an element one today 9/10/23 ( element and poly ones are rare to get )try getting a second one haven't got it yet but I'm hopeful,
More Gacha Taming & KO Tips
Just harvest stone and drop it on the ground near them to tame. Crystals and gems work too, but stone works best. Much easier to gather than owl feces.
USE COOKING POTS. Much less resources to use, and works almost as well as tek. Got a 130 last night in about 20 seconds on official during 2x. We used 5 separated stacks of 10 cooking pots, waited for it to sit the dropped each stack back to back. The Gacha will eat all the stacks in about 20 and be done with around 99 effectiveness.
Would highly recommend this meathod cause we tried using greenhouse stuff following the amount from dododex and that only got us to about 60%, then we were scrambling to make anything and just lost it from there. Cooking pot stacks was a suggestion from a person on our server and wanted to share here.
You can also follow a wild one around for a while and just collect its crystals before you tame it to see what it will produce. After taming several now, the crystals it produces when wild are always the same after they are tamed. GL
Donβt waste your tek material trying to get foundations! Just use thatch and itβs the same outcome! So I guess tek=thatch.

Feeding greenhouse ceilings has around the same taming effectiveness as metal and tek structures. Get this added to the calc.^^^^
You canβt tame the Christmas event ones
Carnivores: I eat meat
Herbivores: I eat plants
Piscivores: I eat fish
Omnivore: I eat eat plants and meat
Sanguinivore: I drink blood
Gacha: Iβll eat anything, Even owl puke but for real your greenhouse looks tasty π
Gachas are a passive tame creature.
Imagine feeding them tek structures π€¦ββοΈ
Warning. Using snow owl pellets no longer gives high efficiency. It is only as good as using stone structures.
I just used honey to tame them works good
