Sculpur Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hello, I am trying to start ranching hatches, and for some reason, neither my rancher nor any of my suppliers would ever fill the feeder in their stable even though a food has been selected and they have nothing else to do. Saving and reloading does not help. Are there any additional prerequisites for them to use it? Thanks!

Neotuck Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 What's the priority set to? What kind of hatch food are you trying to supply? Can you provide a screenshot of the feeder with the selected food shown?

Currently no hatch is in the stable since the one I had died in the meantime... Layed an egg first thankfully so I won't have to import hatches.

tzionut Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The real question is how are going your dupe to deliver sand if isn't a way in your cube? Under you have a picture of my wild bugs farm, and my hatch storage area. Post edit: And why you save dirt and why the grooming station?

Ohhhh, that might be it. I thought it is a supply or ranching one.

Neotuck Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Why do you keep the dirt tiles? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/104408-critter-feeder-never-supplied/#findComment-1172853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiannaTiger Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 If you keep the dirt tiles then they can burrow at night and they don't feel crowded during that time so their egg production goes up for the time they are under the soil.

I though the burrowing reduced metabolism so decreased coal production. Though in all fairness I learned that a long time ago so it may be out of date.

You could be right, I've just seen some farms that use the dirt to up the egg production by bypassing the crowded de-buff. But I would think they are only doing that to farm the meat and not coal? Personally I have no problems keeping the numbers up and just take their coal! Or in the case of the smooth hatches their refined ore. I ran out of raw ore because of 20+ smooth hatches... poor things were starved to death before I would dig another patch of ore!

Honestly I'd do it more if only we could place tiles like dirt. It does bugger up the Critter Sensor though, as burrowed hatches aren't in the room.

Sasza22 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Now more than ever i think we need a buildable tile where hatches can burrow. Now it has an actual use. Nice job finding that.

Precisely, and since I don't care about their production of coal as I plan to just breed and slaughter them, that seemed like the optimal solution since I did not want to run a pacu loop. Which reminds me to put an incubator in there.
