'''Professor Milton Clodbottle's Astounding Habitarium''' (or, more simply, the '''Habitarium''') | '''Professor Milton Clodbottle's Astounding Habitarium''' (or, more simply, the '''Habitarium''') was a flash [[game]] in which players got to raise a group of [[petpetpet]]s inside one of Prof. Milton Clodbottle's Habitariums. Much like a real-life [[wikipedia:formicarium|formicarium]], the petpetpets (P3s) worked together to gather resources, build structures, and defend the Habitarium from pests, under the observation and guidance of the player. Players breeded their desired mix of P3s in their Habitarium and customized buildings and P3s with colouring inks. | ||

The Habitarium | The Habitarium was discontinued on September 2014, as it would have been too complicated to move it to the new, JumpStart servers. | ||
Here is the final description: | |||
{{CQSmall|Hold on! My datacrometer is blinking! Ah, it appears it's collected all it can from my invention, which means the experiment has come to an end. Thank you for helping me with my research! We learned a lot about these fascinating Petpetpets, didn't we? They really are astounding! | |||
Maybe we'll meet again someday. A professor is always looking for new and interesting experiments, you know.}} | |||

[[File:habitarium gems.png|right|frame|This meter determines the value of the gem obtained when the P3 dies.

The egg must be ''hatched'' by the player, and the resulting P3 will live in the Habitarium. If the population of the Habitarium reaches its limit, or if the player simply prefers not to hatch the egg right away, eggs can be stored or ''harvested'' in the player's bag to be hatched at a later time or discarded. However, if the egg is left too long in the nest, it will hatch on its own and the P3 will escape, giving the player no experience. | [[File:habitarium gems.png|right|frame|This meter determines the value of the gem obtained when the P3 dies.

When P3s pass on, they produce gems, and the value of these gems depends on the duration of their lives. In order to slow the P3 aging process, the P3s must be taken care of. Neglecting them by forcing them to work without rest or food will cause them to pass on earlier. To see the lifespan meter of a specific P3, the player can click on the P3 and toggle the panel at the bottom to the screen with three gems and a meter (shown at right). Once this meter reaches the end, the P3 automatically dies, and the player receives the highest valued gem, worth 150 XP.

There are three different species of P3s that a player can house in their Habitarium; the green [[Mootix]], yellow [[Pinchit]], and maroon [[Larnikin]]. When a player first creates their Habitarium, they are all level one but can be upgraded to a max of level three when the player reaches the required levels. The three species vary only in appearance, so a Mootix, Pinchit and Larnikin Worker will all harvest at the same rate. Users have different preferences for which P3s they house in their Habitariums, some restricting the population to one species while others have two or all three. They can be painted various colors using specialized ink droppers most of which must be purchased using [[Neocash]]. Only the basic colours; yellow, blue, red, can be purchased in game. | There are three different species of P3s that a player can house in their Habitarium; the green [[Mootix]], yellow [[Pinchit]], and maroon [[Larnikin]].
