Required Narcotics
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the R-Gasbags sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The R-Gasbags bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your R-Gasbags tame in real time. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
