    Has anyone found out how to capture creatures? I see a bunch of baby non-hostiles- though i actually haven't seen an actual adult version of them (not complaining though, they're adorable)

    Apparently you gotta get them down to less than 50% health and then hit them with a capture ball. But I havn't played the new update yet so yeah.

    if only it was that easy, (well maybe it is, but i dont know)
    i'm just going to go with the idea that maybe whatever capturing device it might be isnt in the game yet

    Sounds like a dance the Dean would set up in Community

    The crafting station is made with durasteel bars at a robotic crafting bench. That's all I know so far!

    u use the robotic crafting table to make a capture station in which u can make capture pods. after getting an enemy past 50% u throw it at them and it either captures or it doesnt. havent looked at the success/fail ratio yet, but it seems pretty even. ive been messing with it for a few hrs, and the creatures dont follow u when u teleport, and they cant be de-summoned. the only way ive seen to get them to go away is kill them with explosives. doing so reverts them back to a "filled capture pod" if ne1 knows a way to revert them back with a less... destructive methed..... lemme know. =) OP i hope that helps and clears up some things.

    They already said they haven't put the ability to uncapture them in yet. So for now. Just either let them die or only use them on a world you'll be on a while.

    Actually, if you can't find the adult version of those tiny guys, they probably aren't babies, they're either small bipeds, or tiny quadrupeds, which were newly introduced. And going a little off topic here, how do I make steel? I have a metalwork station, and iron and coal, but the option to make it doesn't appear.
