Colony Defenders
Colony Defenders
Colony Defenders are pets or systems that help protect a colony during danger.
Defenders vs. Perimeter Keepers
Perimeter Keepers are the more specific active defense queue used for hostile raid-style danger.
Defenders can also refer more broadly to pets, roles, or systems that protect the colony.
Eligibility
A defender must be valid when danger happens. A pet may be unavailable if they are dead, sleeping, sick, injured, pregnant, quarantined, starving, dehydrated, exhausted, too young, or busy elsewhere.
Role Fit
Warriors and scouts may often fit defense better, but stats, health, age, gear, and condition still matter.
NPC Defenders
NPC colonies may have their own defenders or defensive logic where supported. These should not automatically become player-controlled pets.
Aftermath
Defense outcomes may create logs, Pulse warnings, Faux messages, injuries, deaths, replacements, or archive records.
