BigV Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'm running out of Dirt. Whats the most effective way to obtain (produce) it, besides Water Sieve + Compost? I might need large quantity for my farms. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/100690-running-out-of-dirt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
karyuendan08 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 change your food source to mushrons or you can try to boil polluted water and collect the dirt and sand that remains Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/100690-running-out-of-dirt/#findComment-1132704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blash365 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Cook organic materials to dirt. E.g. Slime or Algae. This thread contains an (old-version) of a dirt cooker. You can replace the crude oil with petroleum or super coolant for greater efficiency. You can add an auto-miner to fully automate the entire thing. It takes a bit of preparation, but once it's set-up it wont require too much energy to run. However you shouldnt expect alot of throughput from it.

If you want to maximize the possible kcal you could get out of your resources: - Cooking fertilizer to dirt is a waste of potential calories - Using dirt on a farm station for sleet wheat reduces the total dirt consumption till harvest - Cooking slime to dirt will yield less kcal than farming mushrooms with it - Cooking algae to dirt is just a good idea if you don´t want grow a big pacu population or already got one (A pacu farm can sustain it´s population even after the algae(/food) runs out.) (-If you still farming meal lice, stop it and switch to anything else^^) The water sieve is my main source of dirt. => I try to increase the amount of polluted water with showers/carbon skimmers and keep the "farmer´s touch" buff up all the time Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/100690-running-out-of-dirt/#findComment-1132717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenMadness Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Some ideas... -Get some big fish farms going and compost the egg shells, they don't require feeding after you've reached the population you want. (I usually have these as decoration all over my base since they require no maintanence and it's just free resources) -Dig towards all the wild plants you can find and compost the seeds / fruit. More free resources. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/100690-running-out-of-dirt/#findComment-1133215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
