Homesick Signal Effects

Calls Back Pikmin to Base

When your Pikmin go missing, call them back to the S.S. Beagle with the Homesick Signal! This works on any Pikmin not currently in your squad.

Also Recalls Working Pikmin

Unlike the Idler's Alert, this gear will recall all Pikmin outside your squad back to your current base. This gear also interrupts those doing a task, so the Homesick Signal is best used near sunset to avoid losing any stray Pikmin.
