Glowbugs make an essential light source, but only few know how to tame the seemingly untamable insect. It enjoys one food, craves one thing, and is instantly tamed when you provide glowbugs with it. The food is forcetame.

It is perfect for harvesting Cementing-Paste with an Beelzebufo, as there are loads of them all over the Map :D

If you want a charging station for batteries, you either find one or put a battery into these guys. Try to trap a bunch of them in a enclosure and you will have a charging station next to your base. A substitute choice, just make a base next to a charging station

This guy is sooo clutch. I got charged right before I got mugged by a rock drake 😰 I stole 5 eggs

I got a stone box full of these glow bugs and when I need charge I they give it to me and they recharge eventually and they’re in my base no more charge nodes

While you cannot tame it, you can lure it into a box where you can harvest its charge using honey

You can tame these with charge batteries on ps4 up so others know!!!

Gives 500 Charge IF you have a Light Pet on your shoulder OR Non-full Charge Batteries in your inventory.

Note you can only collect Charge IF it’s night time OR a dark enough area AND meet the first 2 requirements.

Collecting Charge also triggers “Spaz” mode for the one collected from and others in a small radius around it.
