How Do Terrarium Effects Work?
If you look at your HUD inside the terrarium, you’ll notice its unique environment and atmosphere. Furthermore, you can change these factors by adding new decor items to the terrarium. So, what factors can you change?
If a decor item affects any three factors, its description in the decor list will state so. However, a quick way to find items with environmental and atmospheric effects is to shift to the decor list’sFunandEnvironmenttabs. The effect will appear in blue, with the size of impact in parenthesis (S=Small, L=Large). Placing said item in the terrarium immediately implements the effect.
How Does Energy Consumption Work?
While most decor items won’t require other resources, some appliances run on energy. For instance, appliances that significantly affect your terrarium’s climate, like theBeat-Up Heaterand theBeat-Up Humidifier, require energy to work. Since your energy is limited, you’re able to only use a few appliances simultaneously.
You can view your terrarium’s current energy usage in theupper-middle HUDwhile inside the terrarium. This number shows how many energy stocks you have left available for other machines. To power on a machine or turn it off, highlight it with your cursor and press down on the left thumbstick.
