When To Care
Animal Transport belongs to the Animals research family. Prioritize it when the problem it solves is already slowing the base. If food, water, storage, and the first crafting loop are not stable yet, compare it against the research order before unlocking comfort or cosmetic branches.
Practical Use
Animal Transport should be evaluated by the chore or blocker it removes. Research that solves water, storage, crafting, power, food, or travel usually beats decoration when the base is still unstable.
Related Strategy
For research planning, prioritize unlocks by friction: water first, then storage and crafting, then power, then automation, animals, airship improvements, and comfort.
Common Mistakes
- Do not unlock Animal Transport just because it is available; compare it with the base problem that is slowing you down now.
- Do not rush comfort or decoration branches if water, storage, crafting, food, and power are still unstable.
- Do not forget follow-through. An unlock only helps after you place the station, build the part, or reorganize the route around it.
