KILLABUDZ 61 Report post Posted January 1 What I read is that gas grass can be grown with the sunlamp however it isnt worth it for the output. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neotuck 2273 Report post Posted January 1 I have never seen an effective gassy moo ranch yet, i find solar panels to be a much better use for sunlight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coolthulhu 1045 Report post Posted January 1 Tame moo outputs 16.67 g/s of natgas, which translates to ~148W, excluding pumping cost. It would need about 3 sunlit, tame gas grasses for full output. If we omit the need to replenish moos from space, liquefy and pump chlorine and groom them, they're slightly better than solar panels. If we don't omit the above, farming moos falls somewhere between "not worth the effort" and "genuinely useless". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope Klei balance the game a bit more to make certain stuff at least situationally useful. Currently, there are just some stuff that are implemented but have no real use (another example is ore scrubber). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sasza22 2393 Report post Posted January 1 Imo moos and gas grass don`t need to be effective energy wise but they need to provide something more than just power. The fruit gas grass creates needs to have a use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like it's not worth the bother then. Unless... how many shine bugs does it take to make that much lux? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
