How to: unlimited critter dumping? QoL3

[habuky]

With the new door mechanics, is it possible to build unlimited critter drop offs? 

I did not find yet a solution, how to store more than 20 critters in a room (just store e.g. all shoves in one room).

The last working solution was this

Not sure what the problem is, maybe you have build something too complicated?

 

Mine is a 1 tile wide room with just the criiter drop off and an open door, critters will leave the small room to go eat or get groomed, so the room will never get full.

Pneumatic doors push creatures upward now,

I just run the NOT output back to the lower door so that it opens when the top door closes

Not too sure, but you may need a FILTER gate to sync up the timing on your design?

[Miravlix]

Still not seeing why you need automation for the critters to move out of the drop off room, they do that on there own.

 

Even slicksters where the room is in CO2 so they don't have to move, moves out of the drop off room, I've had 100+ slickters and they still didn't result in more than a handful being in the critter drop off room. (And it was only because of the GAS dupe bug that I ended up with that many, without the GAS dupe bug you can't really generate that much CO2.)

Ja, well, yes, most likely the setup I used was a little bit to complicated Thanks!

Thx for sharing, I just tried everything possible to let them fall down. Maybe I was too focused on gravity, to just use the new mechanics as they are.

@snoozer, couple questions about doors pushing critters up. (Heading to work and can't play for a day or 3.)

1) Just horizontal doors or do vertical doors work too?

2) Can you close all Tge doors at Tge same time and have then pop up Tge stack or do you need to stagger the closing with door pump style automation?

what i build is a 2x1 room for the dropoff with open doors on both sides. If you make a decent sized room it will accept critters up to 200+ (as most usually only 10% or less critters are inside the 2x1 room.

Just horizontal. Vertical doors make critters fall down if there is nothing else beneath.

All close at the same time, no logic gates needed.

Vertical doors are back to dropping them down? Sweet! 

Good to know no automation is needed. 

I can work on redesigning my Pez dispenser hatch ranch now.

But only if there is nothing below the doors. Without any walkable floor it´s difficult to get them stuck in the verticle door. Might only work with dreckos.

Poo. Ok, I guess I'll concentrate on lifting them up from below for now. Thanks again.

I like your optimism.   

I found it impossible to get them stuck in the vertical door.

I played a bit with the ideas from @Miravlix and @snoozer. The result is a compact hatch and drecko storage  plus a pacu-farm.

Rather than ranching, I just store my critters. Dupe time is precious. Obviously this is my debug-blue print, however it's easily build in survival.

From bottom to up:

The pacu-farm in the basement follows the idea from @QuQuasar   https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94393-setup-fishomatic-station-a-way-to-auto-breeding-fishes/?do=findComment&comment=1076549 and just creates more and more pacus. Wild eggs found wherever are dropped in the left pool.

The next row can be what ever.

The next is the hatch storage.  Wild eggs need to be sweeped to be dropped in the storage.

The next row contains the Drecko drop-off. Once wrangled the will be shaved. Once there are 2 in there, one will be moved upwards to the Drecko storage. All eggs found wherever are dropped in the abyss next the right pool. The pools keep the dreckos captured.

From all floors meat and eggs shells are swept and moved away. The sweeper for polluted dirt is still missing.

I love the detail that you actually hatch the critter eggs on natural floor. So much love and care.
