For the starvation section you can add in a couple of powered incubators to increase the husbandry skill and keep the other ranches full of critters. I use 2 incubators (1 for each dreko type) and 2-3 shearing stations.
You are right, there should be at least 2 incubators in there, connected to a cycle sensor and set to #9 priority to not waste power. I didn't want to include Incubators in every critter video and forgot in the process that for the starvation ranch it is actually necessary.
Hi, nice video! You can make the starvation room more efficient just by reducing its size. You don't need 2 sweepers at all. Oh and the dropper? You can get rid of it too. The dropper becomes useless at some time, once you reach 20+ critters, you can't use it anymore.
Hey, thanks! Yeah, the room is much too big, I made it that big to have more sheer stations and grooming stations in there so the freshly spawned critters were faster ready for the video 😂
Ya, I almost always use a setup similar to the 9X12 room setup. It just makes so much sense to build a vertical pen with Dreckos, to keep them in the hydrogen as much as possible.
Dear BeerTier, I would recommend a third layout that I find more efficient that produces reed fiber and plastic and consists of a Breeder and Starvation farm. Starvation farm: just like your farm, but only L3xH4 Tiles wide on the inside. Additionally there is a stacked liquid blob of Naphta and Oil at each wall(Decunstruct one filled liquid pipe). This room has the Shearing station in it and a conveyor chute (second of 3 collumns). The stacked liquids prevent Dreckos from moving, thus reducing the pathing calculation for your CPU and the pathing time to the shearing spot (because they cant move and stand at the shearing spot). PETA might not like it, but is should be more efficient... Breeding farm: Mealwood and dreckos (not glossy) in O2 normal temp, again stacked Liquid blobs on the walls so they cant climb up and just wide enough, so they can eat crops and have low pathing to your grooming station (make it higher than 4 tiles for the 96 tiles). The use of mealwood and Dreckos will produce a mixture of both types of dreckos leaning to glossy types especially if your animals get older (some manual culling could tip the odds). Stable size depending on your need for eggs. 8 Dreckos would give you like maybe 0,8 eggs per cycle and that would mean you would have 100 Dreckos in Starvation farm (didnt math it, just estimating).
Thank you for the suggestions, I highly appreciate it! That layout makes sense to me, I might build it in my Let's Play when I come across some Dreckos. If so, I will of course give you credit. Thanks again!
Interesting side issue while trying to generate the Hydrogen for this setup...max pressure issues on my electrolyzer. Do you have any existing videos/input for handling max pressure experienced issues? Is this something I should be setting up an infinite gas storage for and just pumping a bunch into it? I've tried opening up a route to outer space, thinking that would vent me off, but that did not seem to do that.
If you experience overpressure you most likely don’t get enough gas out fast enough. If it is a full Rodriguez, then you most likely will need an infinite storage…
@@BierTier Well, your full monte SPOM is working, but I'm trying to establish a gecko hydrogen by using an electrolyzer on it's own. But the electrolyzer isn't producing hydrogen as the room it's in is Overpressured. I'm trying to figure out how to depressurize it which seems to be, yes, I need to pump gas out to 'somewhere' which appears to be an infinite storage by your answer:)
Hello there ;) It's a mixture of both. I would build incubators to hatch some of them, the rest I would leave there and let them hatch right inside the starvation farm. The non-starvation farm I always hatch in incubators.
Really only the higher power draw(10w on Shutoff vs. 120w on filter). I always use the Element Sensor setup, it's mainly personal preference since the result is basically the same.

100% agreed! It makes perfect sense!

heya german freund, just one question: if a drecko lays an egg do you just let it sit there to hatch or do you put it into an incubator?
Hello there ;)
It's a mixture of both. I would build incubators to hatch some of them, the rest I would leave there and let them hatch right inside the starvation farm. The non-starvation farm I always hatch in incubators.
Is there a reason you are using the sensor and shutoffs instead of just using the solid filter?
Really only the higher power draw(10w on Shutoff vs. 120w on filter). I always use the Element Sensor setup, it's mainly personal preference since the result is basically the same.
pneumatic door is pronounced like "New matic" the P is silent
pneumonia like "New moan-ya"
Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm always trying to improve my pronunciations. I think I got "geyser" down now, on to the next one :)
