jfc Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have many stone hatches now and they feed on sedimentary rock and i found a gold volcano, can I feed them that gold to get smooth hatches and just keep them fed on that?

No, they eat gold ore not refined gold.

KittenIsAGeek Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If you're wanting sustained food for hatches, you can do mushrooms. Its not difficult to get enough slime for shrooms from a small puft farm. If you work your way to sage hatches, then its a pretty efficient way to produce coal.

Smooth hatches only eat ore and are really hard to sustain. Stone morph can feed of off igneous rock so if you got a regular or minor volcano and you can cool the magma they can eat that. Some people experimented with melting regolith into magma and then feeding the resulting rock to stone hatches. Generally it should be easier to sustain stone hatches as there`s a lot of rock on the map.

It isn't really efficient for coal, as (unless something changed), they produce coal based on the mass eaten, not the kcals consumed. So you get very little coal from mushrooms.

(Mushrooms would be one of the worst edibles to do this. Big morb farms are more of an => I like to produce bristle/gristle berries without duplicants and feed the overproduction to my hatches Bristle berries and mushrooms have the same weight, so a hatch eating berries is more effective.

PhailRaptor Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If you are looking to make use of their Coal production, feed them anything but food items. Food items have a very high Kcal to mass ratio. This is problematic because the Coal produced is based on the mass consumed, not the Kcals. If you are more concerned with getting Eggs and, when they die, Meat, then it is actually very easy to sustain Sage Hatches on food items, particularly Berries as you can recycle the water from your Dupe's bathroom trips back to watering the Berries.

Also serves a convenient way to build ladders without importing sandstone or other raw mineral in the swamp. Also comes from fossils, a great mid to late game source of lime.

KittenIsAGeek Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 To everyone who replied to me, you're all right. The last time I did mushrooms to coal was when sage hatches converted kcal to coal instead of food mass, in which case it was fairly easy.

Coolthulhu Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 You'd need literally thousands (plural) of cycles to run out of igneous rock for stone hatches. It's finite only theoretically.

Neotuck Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 @jfc If you are looking for an "unlimited" food breed them back to normal hatches and feed them clay you can replenish clay with PW bottles and regolith in deodorizers faster than the hatches can eat them Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/100600-self-sustained-food-for-hatches/#findComment-1132172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
