Taming Thrumbos or Megatherium

hmm, thats a good idea for putting them to sleep.

Well the beasty got a full 10 guy sniper/charge rifle barrage.
Thats the most I can dish out at the moment

Shameless self promotion,

I love it. Does it work with existing savegames ? My Daughters would love this

What are the vague Values for the Wool ? Sloth Levels or Muffalo ?

ooh, that actually looks pretty neat. Might give it a try as well.

Some further testing: Animal skill level of the character has nothing to do with it. It seems purely chance based. It can happen both during treatment and while feeding them.

You might get lucky and it happens within the first 10 seconds you are near it, it might take ages and downing him over and over. Both of the cases happened to me today (the one from the cryptosleep pod took a LOT of effort, but just now 2 more walked in, 1 got killed, the other one downed, clicked on rescue, some random guy that just joined with animal 3 pulls out a meal, feeds it, instabonded xD ) Still more reliable than actually trying to tame them (and also less dangerous, half the time the reason the thrumbo gets downed again is because it gets enraged from a taming attempt and I have to lure it into my fortifications)

as soon as one of both shows up I will try

Thank you guys. It worked.
I now have my own Megatherium Wool Factory.

Now try to learn it to haul, I gave up after a year and sold it for 2 or 3k silver or so.

I have 8 bears and 3 dogs

That one is to show off.

And of course lets see who learns faster the megatherium or the thrumbo ^^
