Encountered my first robot fauna today, and they don’t eat creature pellets, they eat batteries. Like, when I go to my companion registry, there isn’t a creature pellets icon theres an ion battery icon!

Is that only when I’m in proximity to a robot fauna, like it will automatically toggle back and forth? I’ve been running around for like ages on this planet and I haven’t seen it turn back to creature pellets. If I find just one more fauna I’ll have them all for this planet, and so far, all robots. Are worlds all robot or all organic?

    Alright, I sucked it up and watched some YouTube. Twitch I can sort of understand, it’s like playing a single player game with your friend after school in the ‘90’s. It’s their turn and you’re watching, planning what to try during your turn. YouTube is a 20 minute video, with ads, that’s buried a ten second sound-byte of useful information behind piles of trash and the worst speaking voice on Earth. And it’s always edited by someone who things mic-in and line-in are the same so ready your ears for the bleedening!

    Robot fauna occur mainly (possibly only) on planets or moons in uncharted systems. It there are robot fauna on a planet, there are no organic fauna on that world and vice versa. The ion battery/creature pellets showing in your companion register identify the type of fauna, and will do so as soon as you land. There’s no need to actually find any fauna first.

    I’d like to apologize for wasting your time if you read this and it’s all old-news & common-knowledge. I had no idea so thought I might as well post in the spirit of keeping the content flowing.

      It’s useful information which will save people from wading through god awful youtube videos. (Seriously, can we have text guides back yet?)

      I’m also fairly certain there are always 2 species on the robot fauna planets.

      I think it’s a helpful submission. If you didn’t know, you won’t be the only one who doesn’t know. Thanks traveler!
