These crawling omnivores prefers to live in the moderate climates of the temperate forest and the tropical rainforest. It's shell gives it 30% blunt damage resistance and 50% sharp damage resistance. Their small target size, built-in armor, and moderate health means that a hunter will need several shots to take one down. If slain, they can be butchered for 54 tortoise meat and 12 tortoise leather.^[1]

As of version 0.14.1234 (15 July 2016) base damage has been lowered by 10%, from 10 to 9. Cooldown between melee attacks was increased from 130 ticks (2.17 seconds) to 190 ticks (3.17 seconds). Together these adjustments account for a 38% decrease in DPS.

Taming

Tortoises are a common animal in temperate or tropical forest zones and are fairly easy to tame. Tortoise ranching can be a rewarding experience as maintenance costs are low and fresh females can be constantly recruited in the right biomes. Though they will not explode into a dwarf fortress "2cat" style of overpopulation in the same way a few Chickens can manage, players can still build up large Tortoise farms and use them as a succssful source of income.

Some care must be used when managing tortoise eggs, as Tortoises themselves are omnivorous and do not seem to discriminate against eating their unhatched young. Make use of restriction zones and hauling labor to pull freshly laid eggs away from animal pens and into safe hatcheries to maximize yield.
