degr Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I can't understand how this creature run away, I even add second door, but each 1-3 loops some of them run away. It starts after I add automatic dispenser near right entrance Orange tiles - copper doors made from steel and thermium left-bottom mesh tiles made from steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I can see, door hold them, otherwise they would crawl over all base in a moment. Which conditions should happen to make door not hold them?

Craigjw Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 perhaps it's the mesh block, I can't tell you with 100% certainty that mesh tiles will contain voles, perhaps someone else can clarify this. Mesh doors on the other hand are quite capable at containing voles. 36 minutes ago, gabberworld said: as far i remember doors cant hold them back When voles were first released, mesh doors did not contain voles, but in a later update, this was changed.

MinhPham Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Voles "poop" regolith 1 tiles away from their current position, there's a chance the regolith will entomb the door and they will escape ... Easiest way to prevent this is to have the stable entrance on top of the stable ... or just make the door 1 tiles higher than the stable, this will minimize the chance of their escape/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigjw Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 What is the cover area of those digger machines? normally they are able to remove the vole excrement debris without issue. Make sure that all tiles within the farm are covered by the digger machine, particularly those next to the doors. I don't know about the validity of the horizontal mesh door that is below the meteor door on the top left, because it's edge on, if a vole tries to tunnel through it, is it going to default to the tile covered by the meteor door if it were open? You might be best to replace this door with metal tiles and see if that solves the issue. There are plenty of vole farms that have been tried and tested to work just fine without having to use meteor doors and only use mesh doors. Powered mech doors also work to contain voles, but I don't think they are as reliable as mesh doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
