How to breed the Ravager?
The reproduction of plague requires the presence of a male and a female of this species in the same room.
Randomly and at a rate of about every 18 to 48 hours a clutch, the female plague gives birth to a baby plague about 4 hours after mating. To make this happen, place the couple in the same pen and select “Allow mating” in their options.
For the baby to survive, you must watch him closely for 5 hours and give him food adapted to this species in his inventory, otherwise he will not be able to feed himself. Once the baby Ravager is an adolescent, he will be able to feed on his own and will take about 2 days and 1 hour in total to reach his adult form.
