Alphabeaver

Alphabeaver

A large beaver-like creature genetically engineered to harvest wood with machine-like efficiency. In the absence of specialized feed, these animals will enter a manic state that compels them to eat trees whole, and are likely to attack if disturbed.

Instead of silently spawning as other animals do, Alphabeavers appear in a group only when the Alphabeavers event triggers. The event will only trigger in arid shrubland and tundra.

Taming

Wild alphabeavers can only appear in the Alphabeavers event, which itself only appears in the arid shrubland and tundra. This event requires that the temperature be above the alphabeaver's minimum comfortable temperature of -40 °C (-40 °F) More alphabeavers appear as a colony's raid points increase.

Summary

Alphabeavers are dendrovores. As they hunger rapidly, alphabeavers will need to eat trees constantly. They will consume any trees that they can reach, including anima treesContent added by the Royalty DLC, gauranlen treesContent added by the Ideology DLC, and polux treesContent added by the Biotech DLC. The entire herd of alphabeavers can get angry if one is attacked.

If wood isn't required by a colony, then alphabeavers pose little or no threat. Any trees that you're growing can be protected by enclosing them in walls. It may be worthwhile to cover the anima and guaranlen trees with walls, despite the penalties for doing so.

Alphabeavers will not attack your structures, though it is possible for them to be driven mad by a psychic wave or psychic drone. If slain, they can be butchered for 41 alphabeaver meat and 16 lightleather.[1]

They have a muffalo's tolerance to cold and an iguana's tolerance to heat, so they will likely survive in whatever biome they spawn in.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:  Ex.png
Attack:  Ex.png
Rescue:  Ex.png
Haul:  Ex.png

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Contrary to what one may think, Alphabeavers can't be trained (at least yet) to harvest trees around the map for wood. They will simply devour any trees available without leaving any wood behind.
