"Why the hell am I gonna waste time and effort to make a little swarm of flies appear for5 seconds?"

If somebody else does it then YOU get the usage XP.

I don't seem to get any crafting xp when I make the habitats. Is this happening with other people?

Yes they aren't normal crafted items... The % bars are blank in the last stage of crafting, and they pop right out of the hopper like nothing... and yeah, they are quite silly and impractical. Sort of like fireworks, yes, but fireworks look very cool. The effect from these things is hard to see unless it's bats, and VERY hard to see if by other players who aren't looking for it. I think this item is part of something that is unfinished or broken and perhaps it will be expanded on in the future.

BTW what is an Environmental Effects Controller and who can craft one? Or is that a hypothetical item we hypothetically might have in the future?

The Creature Habitats are rubbish, lol. Why the hell am I gonna waste time and effort to make a little swarm of flies appear for5 seconds? If they were permanent then maybe it'd be cool...but they aren't so I cant see these being used very much at all. Proper house pets would have been nice like a fish tank or something to put in that bird cage!

I think it has a lot of potential. Let's say you have an Enviromental EffectsContainer in your house. Every time someone walks into your house, it uses a Creature Habitat from the container. So you could set it so whena person enters your home they're surrounded by butterflies.

What is this "Environmental Effects Generator"? I'm a master artisan and don't seem to be able to make one, so who does?And what do they do?

You can drop the habitat in your house, and can supposedly release the bugs from there, but I haven't done that. I released moths from one outside from my inventory and they flew around for a few seconds. Kind of fun, but not worth the cost to make. I could make a bunch of fireworks for the same resource amount

I've made a few of these, and I was trying to think of a use for them. It occured to me this evening that it might be pretty to use them at weddings. It would be like releasing doves or throwing rice, maybe. Pass them out among your friends in attendance, and at the end of the ceremony, everyone releases butterflies/moths/glowzees at the same time....

Hehe yeah, and watch your framerate drop to 4 ACtually it's a cool idea, if they lasted for more than 5 seconds. Today I found a sample of Bats, so I'm tryng to find a special occassion to release them, since it's the only sample of them I've found so far.
