I know Butterflies aren't really fully implemented, but for the life of me I can't really find any information about them, and I'm curious.

 

I think they're cute, so I've been messing around with them anyway. I've combined butterflies with serums, but I can't figure out how to let them go fly around or whatever they do...

 

I saw somewhere that you could throw them and they'd go from item->entity and start flying around, but mine don't do that. They just kinda lay there limp and I can pick them up again.

I thought you just collect them and that is it.

I found that if I replace all the trees in my world with Forestry trees butterflies will just spawn everywhere and look nice but I didn't think you could let them go after catching them.

So far I've collected butterflies, used Escritoire to get a vial of serum or... whatever it is... combined that with another butterfly, now it has the "mated" tag on its genetic pop-up. Dunno what to do after that, though given they don't really have a "house" like bees do, letting them go would be the next logical step... just not sure how. D:

irl butterfly houses are a LOT larger than apiaries, you may need to make a greenhouse if you ever can let it go.

True. I've seen people make butterfly houses to keep the butterflies from flying away, but I haven't seen anything about them being required....

How do you 'combine'?

Combine a butterfly with the DNA jar you get from Escritoire in a crafting table / your inventory.

Oo. Kewl. Probably temporary though, I'm guessing...?

Well if you don't want them to fly away

Probably, I am sure there will be a better mechanic for that

Probably, I know butterflies are still a WIP. Pretty though. And useful for tree breeding (murder butterflies, get pollen that auto-mutates a leaf block)

(They're also kinda stupid in their mob spawner. They get stuck in the block and die.)

In modpack wgt152 they suffocated in blocks ALL the time.

In 152wgt I found that they only suffocated when they spawned. Then they immediately fly away from the block.

Most of the ones that come out of a spawner block get away, but some just decide to hang around inside the block and suffocate... it's so depressing listening to them suffocate
