Ellilea Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 So apparently Shove Voles don't get "crowded" debuff, lol! Took my eyes off the little ramp-up ranch which was supposed to go to 8 and wait for when I need these guys I even built a second pen above this one to later expand! Guess that's a demolish material now... Cute troll, game, cute troll.

LadenSwallow Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The corollary to not getting overcrowded debuff is that you can make shove vole pens as small as is still big enough to be a stable, 12 cells.

Ellilea Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Oh for sure, I don't think there any downsides to it at all, very convenient all over Well, provided you know and don't get overrun by a hungry Vole horde! Lol. Is there any reason to farm any other critters for meat? I can't think of one. These are basically free since Regolith is abundant and pretty useless otherwise?

suicide commando Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Small thing you might want to change.. the door.. change it to a pneumatic door as those don't let critters through even when a dupe goes through them. The other 2 door types can sometimes let critters through when a dupe goes through. ( unless they changed this, it's been a while ). You ca still make those out of steel which is considered refined metal so they can't get through.

You ca still make those out of steel which is considered refined metal so they can't get through. I believe they changed this. As long as the airlock is made from refined metal (?). Replacing that particular door with a pneumatic one runs the risk of a vole puking on it and escaping through the puke before the robo-miner can get to it. Horizontal pneumatic doors in the ceiling will prevent that.

MinhPham Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Eventually you will need to expand your stable anyway, one dupe can only do < 20 grooming errands per cycle, and a lotttt slower if the critter count is high. Tip of the day : you can have more than 1 grooming station in the room, and they all work properly.

LadenSwallow Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I don't think lamps help grooming because there is a fixed animation to go through. Does help with egg singing though.

I got 20 dupes (minimum for the achievement, it's an all achievements run). But I already had to press a pause on the game due to looow FPS Haven't even gotten to fly into space or visit another asteroid (playing unhurriedly on the Classic setup). Will play more once I get my hands on mom's PC during some catsitting escapade or another.
