Fae Farm: How to make a Critter Conservatory

Critters outside of bees can be released for materials through a crafting station. Here's how to make it.

If the cute critters around the map caught your attention as much as mine, you’ve probably been catching them at every opportunity and wondering, what am I even going to do with these critters besides store them away? Well, as you continue progressing the game, you’ll be able to craft a conservatory to turn them into needed resources. Here’s how to make a Critter Conservatory in Fae Farm.

The Lowlands Critter Conservatory is under the crafting tab for outside. It requires five beech lumber (for which you need the Lumber Station made), five stone bricks (ditto for the Stone Forge), 20 plant fibers, and 20 silt.

Using the conservatory will show you all of your captured critters. Left click puts them in the conservatory, while F takes them out when hovered over. You can hold 16 in one conservatory at a given moment. Mousing over a critter tells you what they leave behind. And as usual, X collects all without a need to individually hover.

When they leave something behind, the critters disappear into the wild and are therefore ‘consumed’ to make an item, hence this item being technically a crafting station. So don’t put them in the conservatory if you want to keep them around to stare at their cute sprite. Otherwise, this seems to be the primary use for critters besides selling them.

Bugs of any kind leave behind bug juice, frogs leave behind frog sweat, and snails and crabs leave behind shell bits. While there’s no limit on how many you can craft, you shouldn’t need more than one. They are consumed fairly quickly by the conservatory. And now you can finally free up storage space by making a critter conservatory in Fae Farm.
