Critter Condo
Critter Condo gives land-based critters a way to relax to improve their happiness.
Usage
Adult non-flying, non-aquatic critters inside a Stable with access to a Critter Condo will regularly relax in it and get the Cozy buff, a temporary +1 happiness bonus for 1 cycle.
A tame, ungroomed, cozy critter will have a total happiness of 0 and therefore use their base reproduction and metabolism. This allows you to ranch critters for their resource output without needing dupe labor to groom them, unless you also want the extra eggs.
Wild critters will also use the Critter Condo, but this doesn't change their reproduction speed or their metabolism rate.
Trivia
Critter Condo has an overheat temperature, and when it overheats and autorepair is enabled, it generates a Repair errand, but it can still be used by critters properly when broken. This means the player needs to disable autorepair on Critter Condo when ranching Molten Slicksters, unless it is built using Ceramic.
