Airborne Critter Condo

Airborne Critter Condo is a ranching building that triggers natural nesting instincts and improves critters’ moods. It is used in a Stable to give eligible creatures a place to relax, providing a temporary +1 happiness bonus for 1 cycle.

Critters inside a Stable that can reach an Airborne Critter Condo will periodically use it. Adult Gassy Moos, Shine Bugs, and Pufts are affected by it, and wild critters will use it as well. The effect is mood-based rather than a direct stat change: a cozy, tame, ungroomed critter reaches a total happiness of 0 and will use its base reproduction and metabolism rates.

This makes the building especially useful in ranches where you want production without spending dupe labor on grooming. Pufts can be kept for their resource output while remaining ungroomed, and their eggs are not required unless you also want extra offspring. Gassy Moo Brackene Supply is unaffected by their mood, so the building does not alter that resource generation.

In practice, the Airborne Critter Condo is most valuable when paired with a properly built Stable and enough access for the intended critters to use it consistently. It improves comfort for ranch animals without changing their core production behavior, making it a low-maintenance ranch support structure rather than a direct production building.
