− | + | Tortoises are fairly easy to tame. Tortoise ranching can be a rewarding experience as maintenance costs are low and fresh females can be constantly recruited in the right biomes. Though they will not explode into a dwarf fortress "2cat" style of overpopulation in the same way a few [[chicken]]s can manage to, players can still build up large tortoise farms and use them as a steady source of income. Alternatively they can be raised for doctors to train medical skills by euthanizing or for training the melee skill. Because of the creature's armor and low damage output, a well-armored colonist can land many blows without much risk, quickly raising the melee skill substantially. One strategy is to allow warriors needing training in melee to fight, (but not kill) the animal, then for doctors to mend the creature's wounds, allowing them to train their skill, too. Rinse and repeat a few times until the poor beast has been tenderized enough to be given to the cooks for a nutritious final disposition. | |

Some care must be used when managing tortoise eggs, as tortoises themselves are omnivorous and do not seem to discriminate against eating their unhatched young. Make use of restriction zones and hauling labor to pull freshly laid eggs away from animal pens and into safe hatcheries to maximize yield. | Some care must be used when managing tortoise eggs, as tortoises themselves are omnivorous and do not seem to discriminate against eating their unhatched young.

− | + | Their heavy armor and small size makes them a decent combat animal despite their low damage output, easily occupying attackers' time, and they may even survive to down a raider. Their extremely slow speed makes them impractical to use in offensive raids. However, prepositioning tortoises by restricting their area to chokepoints can sometimes be quite helpful when defending. | |
