BaloneyOs Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 So here's my manual feeding vole ranch: It's managed to obliterate thousands of tons of regolith rather quickly, which is nice. Problem is that some voles are still starving periodically. I went and looked up voles on the wiki and it says that they'll eat one clump of regolith and halve it regardless of stack size. That raises the questions: what's their regolith consumed to calories gained ratio, and when does the stack stop halving? Clearly thousands of tons wasn't enough to properly feed a ranch of 30 voles for under 100 cycles so there must be information I'm missing here, like how the voles' stomachs must be literal black holes. Perhaps it'd be more efficient to have more regolith clumps, seeing how with this setup there's only 2 big clumps at a time? Yes I could reduce ranch size again but i'd rather that be a last resort. Sure do have an incredible supply of meat now though Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/119365-question-about-vole-feeding-mechanics/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I just use wild ones. 20 are more than enough to keep the Regolith problem under control.

psusi Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 According to oni-db.com, they eat 4.8 tons per cycle when groomed. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/119365-question-about-vole-feeding-mechanics/#findComment-1346683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, had to shrink down the vole numbers and re-arrange the dispensers to feed more tiles to reduce starvation. Halving stacks regardless of size is some hefty deletion so I really underestimated just how much these guys can "eat". The only regolith problem I was having is that the regolith was running out very quickly. 1 hour ago, psusi said: According to oni-db.com, they eat 4.8 tons per cycle when groomed. I'd believe that's the whole story if <30 voles didn't erase >2000t of regolith in about 100 cycles. Guessing any stack above 4.8t is wasted on them because of calorie cap.
