When choosing colonists, (assuming you're doing a crashlanded or tribal start), it's a good idea to at least have your dedicated tortoise handler have a passion for animals. A road nearby is essential due to the high number of caravans you'll be sending, and if you have the royalty DLC make sure to be very close to an empire settlement, as it's an easy way to get endgame tech with minimal effort. I also reccomend starting as near to as many friendly faction bases as possible, as generally you'll be making lots of caravans to sell your tortoises. (from top to bottom: Temperate forest, Temperate Swamp, Tropical Swamp, Tropical Rainforest) Rainforests are more prone to disease outbreaks than temperate biomes (though not quite as bad as the Tropical Swamps), so be aware of this. Of the four, I personally prefer Tropical Rainforests due to them often having year-round growing seasons, and wild animals like elephants to help haul your gear (which sadly tortoises cannot do). Tortoises can be found wild in Temperate forests, Temperate Swamps, Tropical Rainforests, and Tropical Swamps. The first (and most important) step for ranching tortoises is, as with many things in rimworld, where your colony starts in the first place. So you've decided to become a tortoise rancher? Good on you. Given how large amounts of tortoises can mature all at the same time, this can cause a nasty colony wealth spike, and if you get raided before you sell them off, you may be facing foes better equipped than you are!.If you're in a map that drops below 0C / 32F, make sure to dig into a mountain and add a heater so your tortoises can hibernate for the winter, and have spare food for them. ![]() They can't survive in below freezing temperatures.As said above though, this is great for training animal handlers. Their wildness value is on the high end of rimworld animals, so they de-tame faster than you'd expect.They'll even eat their own eggs if they get hungry. Them eating everything (that can be eaten in the first place) can be a pain in the neck at times.As such, if a raider or other baddie decides to attack them, they likely won't be able to flee without dying. It goes without saying tortoises are slow.In the grand scope of things they aren't too big of deal, but forewarned is forearmed. However, I'm not going to lie and say that Tortoise ranching has no downsides at all. and well, as much as it hurts to type this, there will come a point where you'll have to eat them to keep them from causing a lagfest and/or megaraids due to wealth, and the 70 meat is enough for seven simple meals.Easy to tame, and keeping them tame is an easy way to get exp for the animals skill.Lower animal filth generated than bigger animals.Their shell gives them a defense bonus roughly as protective as steel plate armor. ![]()
