Meta-humans inOnce Humancan now find and tame various animals for both territory protection and for producing byproducts such as meat, rawhide, and eggs. Crocodiles are one such animal, providingstrong base defenses while also regularly producing eggs once tamed.
Once armed with Tranquilizer Throwing Needles, players can adventure out tobegin catching and taming animals. However, finding Crocodiles can be somewhat difficult and unreliable. Players must also be careful to not challenge Crocodiles that are too high level, or else they may be injured or killed.
Finding Crocodiles
The Best Location Hunt Crocodiles
Though Crocodiles can be found across the continent of Nalcott, there areonly a few locationsthat have guaranteed spawns. In my experience, it appears that many areas have general “predator” spawns that may spawn Crocodiles but may also spawn animals such as Wolves or Boar.
Some of the more highly recommended locationsdid not have a single Crocodileeven after several visits. Regardless,Chalk Peakis the usual place to search for them in the wild. Don’t forget toget a motorcyclefor faster exploration!
How To Find And Farm Contaminated Crops In Once Human
Once Human’s newest farming mechanic allows you to harvest crops for Acid. Here is where to find and how to farm contaminated crops.
However, the best location to find them isin the settlement of Harborside, just to the Southeast of Meyer’s Marketin the Broken Delta region. As you approach this town, you’ll notice that the homes, stores, and roads are flooded with seawater. Throughout this area,numerous Crocodiles spawn. Be careful as you navigate the area, as they can sneak up on you quickly and quietly!
While you’re here, this is also a good area to stop andgather seawater. You can cook this on the stove in your territory to yieldSalt, which is used in several food recipes, such as dried meats.
These Crocodiles will only bearound level 12, so they are safe to catch by even lower-level players. Tameable animals have a white line on their HP bar. Damage the Crocodile until its health is below the line, thenthrow a tranquilizer dart to sedate it. You can then approach the sleeping animal and pick it up, which puts it into your inventory.
Taming Crocodiles
How To Befriend Your Crocodile
Once you have captured your new friend,return to your territory and “use” (F) on the Crocodilefrom your inventory, which allows you to place them on the ground. They will then spawn and begin taming, which requires you toprovide them with food and water.
Crocodiles eat fish and large animal meat, but can also eatMeat Pellets Feed, which iscooked on the stove. Meat Pellets require more meat to cook, but last much longer before they expire. You’ll also need to provide them with water, such as Boiled Water or Pure Water.
Most Meat Pellet recipes require at least three meatsof the same type to cook. However,only two bear meatare needed to cook one serving of pellets. I recommend farming bears in Chalk Peak, such as inthe bear cave at (-779, -3159)to provide enough meat for your animals.
The easiest way to feed your Crocodiles is byusing Animal Troughs, which can be placed on the ground andstore both food and waterfor your animals. You can even put both predator and prey food into the trough, and it will be eaten by the respective animals.
Once they reach20% tameness, they will be considered “Tame” and no longer hostile if they were previously. At 50% tameness, you can nowgather from your animals, and receive Crocodile Eggs from them.
If you are ever worried thatyou have lostone of your territory animals, tryactivating a different animalwith “F” to try to locate them.All currently active captured animalsshould show on the animal’s menu. If not, there is a chance the animal may be out of range on theopposite side of your territory. Pick up an animal you can access, then put them back down on the other side and check again.
Originally, animal taming inOnce Humanwas dangerous and resulted in captured predatorsattacking their ownersor beinghurt and killed by turretsand territory Deviations. However, it now seems that animals are much calmer, even with zero taming, andcan cohabitate with prey animalswithout harming them. That said, some players still report aggressive animals at the beginning of taming, soalways place predators in a secure locationto ensure they are not hostile at first.
