      If you have a chlorine vent and a salt geyser, then Regular and squeaky pufts are god tier when it comes to food production. A single fully fed regular puft can theoretically produces enough slime to supply 7 600kcal of mushroom wraps per cycle, a single squeaky puft theoretically provides enough bleach to supply 152 000kcal of mushroom wraps per cycle. So all in all, you theoriticaly need on puft per 7,238kcal of mushroom wraps (with an additional 400 kcal of BBQ) per cycle. By this metric, Pufts are actually better sources of calories than even Shove Voles.

    It's fundamentally a bit unfair of Klei, on reflection. There is a requirement to have a certain mix of animals for an outcome, but the sensors provided don't enable us to differentiate between types of animal.
    I've had success with having max 5 for dense pufts, then max 6 with a lower priority for princes. So long as there's a supply of dense pufts from a low priority ranch, it's stable. It fails when there isn't.

  • @Sotanaht01
    @Sotanaht01 8 місяців тому +6

    Dense and Squeaky puffs are ridiculously EASY to ranch. It's only difficult to make the ranch maximally efficient. For the bare minimum, all you need to do is throw a dense or squeaky puft into a large Stable room with the right gas. They'll sort the rest out themselves, laying Prince eggs when princes are needed, dense/squeeky eggs otherwise, and the occasional normal puft will simply starve to death and remove itself from your problem.
    There are lots of ways to improve the system, but things only get complicated when you want to absolutely maximize the outputs while minimizing labor and cost.

    Cheers, I've been looking forward to the puft episode :) A couple of notes/nitpicks:
    - I've ranched slime pufts "inside" the base, using only oxygen masks for access - a CO2 lock at the bottom worked surprisingly well in that use case. CO2 from dupes was drained through it, but it never let PO2 from the ranch leak into the base.
    - 9:56 - eh, not really. Just make a dense-/squeaky-only ranch from those excess eggs. Ranching any puft morph sustainably only needs 2 ranches. A well implemented mixed ranch should be able to support a few single-morph ranches.
    I love the idea of using excess unranched dense/squeaky pufts to produce princes. I don't let excess ones mature in my map, but I noticed that pufts in my ranch's waiting room/dispenser have fairly high prince changes because of the time they spend in there.

    I think that pufts don't breathe the gas, but more like feeding on it

      In the regular world, there are a ton of micro organisms in oxygen as well. so dense puffs eating oxygen makes sense. It's the squeaky one that requires suspension of belief since chlorine is VERY toxic to nearly all organisms. However since in the game lore all the critters are genetically engineered by gravitas, I guess everything will make sense 🤣

    I was looking into ranching squeaky pufts because I have a chlorine vent on my map and I want bleach stone without needing salt and gold, but after realising how much chlorine they eat per cycle, it feels like the dasha saltvines are actually better, if you go into the trouble of geotuning the chlorine vent.

  • @theral056
    @theral056 Рік тому +2

    One interesting thing about pufts is how little they actually "eat". Let's take the squeaky puft for example and your average 100g/s chlorine vent. That's 60kg of chlorine per cycle, enough for 2 pufts. But since pufts turn that 60kg of chlorine into 95% (57kg) of bleachstone, and that bleachstone if made to offgas in their ranch in a small amount of liquid, they effectively only consumed 3kg of chlorine per cycle. So 2 squeaky pufts can life off of 3kg of chlorine per cycle, so your average chlorine vent can reliably feed 20 squeaky pufts. It won't net you any bleachstone, but it's a source of meat and eggs.
    So if your goal is meat (and lime), you need very little input to keep all those pufts going. A smidge of chlorine and oxygen for the special ones, and a bit more pO2 for the regular puft and princes to breed all morphs, easy enough to provide if you let their products offgas

    • @GCFungus
      @GCFungus  Рік тому

      That's an interesting point, but there is definitely a practical consideration of how quickly you can offgas all the solids back to gases as they aren't very quick.

    • @theral056
      @theral056 Рік тому

      @@GCFungus That's a great point! It's my understanding (I may well be wrong) that the offgassing rate is dependent on the mass of debris. My thinking is, that as more debris, say bleachstone, keeps popping out of the squeakies and stacking in the same tile, the offgas rate will naturally increase until it reaches an equilibrium. I.e. you need to "prime the system" by overfeeding them at the start to generate enough debris mass, and gradually their NET consumption will go from 30kg/cycle to 3kg/cycle. Since I'm no mathemagician I genuinely don't know how long that will take to accumulate enough debris mass to reach that equilibrium though. The mechanics of offgassing and it's rate might be a cool topic for an in-depth video. It's certainly something I could learn about :)

      Thanks, it did take a lot of research to even come up with this fiddly concept. But with the critter drop-off changes, this ranch is now simpler as you just have a drop-off for the princes and the dense/squeaky pufts in the same ranch and that should work now.

  • @Tamizushi
    @Tamizushi Рік тому +3

    One simple optimisation would be to dump the 1 puft prince per 75 cycle in the glum ranch (the room where you have all your regular pufts) instead of dumping in the squeaky puft ranch. This will cause your glum regular pufts to mostly lay dense pufts or squeaky pufts, which will supply those ranches. This means you can build your specialized ranches normally, with 6 specialized pufts each.

      Yeah, pufts are great for glum ranching in general. The main down side is that their pathing is costly for your FPS, but you can completely fill the room they are in with liquid except for one square to restrict their pathing. As long as there is a pneumatic door right above them they will be able to breathe normally. Squeaky and dense pufts can also be glum ranched just fine.

    Looking at the stable design with the prince separated from the other pufts, i'm wondering if the counter sensor system is even needed.
    Pufts drop meat when they die, and if the prince is contained in its own part of the stable, it means that if his meat passes through a conveyor you know it is specifically the prince's meat!
    So a simple element sensor on the conveyor rail and you got yourself a working "is the prince dead yet?" detector.

    • @GCFungus
      @GCFungus  Рік тому

      I answered a similar question in another comment, and I think this is possible but the issue is that an unincubated egg will take 20 cycles to hatch and then 5 cycles to mature, so you'd have 25 cycles without a puft Prince in the ranch which is three quarters of the time.

    Never really ranched dense Pufts until recently but I have 1 question why dont you groom the puft prince to maintain its population, because a happy puft drops an egg in about 5 cycles so if im not mistake. 1 alone tamed puft and 1 alone tamed puft prince should sustain the puft prince population. Unless you dont want the prince to eat the oxygen hence why you want it in the glum state. but tbf if you running a spom especially a hydra spom then you already have an over abundance of oxygen so idk.

      With this design before the critter drop-off change, the entire design is about keeping the puft prince number correct which is far more difficult than simply having another puft ranch to make the right eggs for it. But with the new critter drop off, you don't need to separate them any more so you could simply take the puft eggs.

    Polluted dirt can be renewable by mass producing food and letting it rot. A good candidate is raw fish as pacus can be starvation ranched, possibly producing ludicrous amounts of raw fish, rot piles, polluted dirt or polluted oxygen.
