Lutzkhie Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 since the little update on igneous rock, i never feed it to hatches anymore so i was wondering what is the best food for hatches and maybe a blueprint of your feeding setup might give me an idea of what to do or make Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87684-hatch-farm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neotuck Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I like feeding them polluted dirt early game from outhouses, rot piles, and water sieves Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87684-hatch-farm/#findComment-1004973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 For me the only thing they eat is polluted dirt, I usually end up with 100+ Tonnes and then it takes forever for my Coal generator to eat it all, or generators, if i feel I need two. before then I usually have hydrogen powering my base. I think if I were to be feeding my hatches food though I would just feed them igneous rock anyway, once the lava cools it becomes more so you literally have all of that to account for as well. My hatches are never allowed to eat metals,Granite, Dirt, Abyssalite or Algae. everything else is fair play haha Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87684-hatch-farm/#findComment-1004981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemie Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Why not igneous rock? And sandstone and sedimentary Fertilizer is needed now so I would not feed that or polluted dirt Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87684-hatch-farm/#findComment-1004990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoma_Nosme Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Usually I try to get a hatch or two in every latrine room as long as I don't have steady water supply and proper toilets and proper wash sinks. With a storage that only takes p-dirt and rot. Then I build a pit in the floor above(2 blocks deep 2 wide) with a mech door as floor and a bottle emptier only accepting p-water. Dupes will bring the p-water from your basins pour it in the pit. From time to time uncheck the bottle emptier, uncheck the rot storage, issue a mop task for the pit then open the door and the bottled p-water will drop down to be eaten. Then repeat. The advantage is you won't accumulate p-water with food poison or infect your other p-water you want to filter with food poison Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87684-hatch-farm/#findComment-1004995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I prefer only feeding hatches renewable supplies, but I don't want to use fertilizer, because doing that as a mater of policy would reduce the maximum size of my colony. My solution is to feed them solid CO2! There is no use for it other than running a carbon skimmer, you keep producing more of it. You can keep the hatches in a vacuum to stop them from freezing and run liquid CO2 along a cold wall. You can then pull it out with a conveyor.

But skimmers take hot geyser water produce "clean" p-water at 40°C which u can either use to produce nat gas and fertilizer and even delete heat by pipe cooling before sending it to fertilizer makers or watersieve it for 40°C clean water then aquatune it just once for nice berry irritation *irrigation Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87684-hatch-farm/#findComment-1005013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutzkhie Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 i got a natgas in a perfect location for a huge natgas powerplant, i guess i'll transfer my hatches their, and ill leave 2 in my latrine room 3 minutes ago, TheScaryOne said: What about slicksters?

TheScaryOne Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I never build the traps. I just build "hatch ladders" and the slicksters climb them fine. The hardest ones for me are the pufts. I even managed to capture some shinebugs for heat free light for my farms, but I'll be damned if I've caught a puft yet.

BT_20 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 @Lutzkhie best thing to get coal is fertilizer by a land slide save minerals for sand just for a sense of scale my gas plant has 15 fertilizer synthesizers and I’m on cycle 400 I have 200 tons of fert and 1200 tons of coal.

But I make fertilizer out of hot polluted water, as I use the runoff from the natural gas generators to liquid-cool things. I also don't really like the carbon skimmer cooling, but that's just a personal thing. Just now, TheScaryOne said: What about slicksters? Free body temperature crude for CO2. If you can boil the crude oil to natural gas, then it's a positive feedback loop where you end up with more CO2 than you started with. That excess is what I use. If you don't want to do that and you end up with a chlorine geyser, you can also try feeding them chlorine, but that is harder Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87684-hatch-farm/#findComment-1005034 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT_20 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 @Lutzkhie yes but it’s so high because I haven’t even used coal power yet and at one point I had like 40 synthesis machines but I had to down scale because the pressure was getting ridiculous.i opted to just compress my polluted water instead. I usually make a second heavy watt circuit maxed out on coal then experiment with cryogenics and molten metals until I burn up all the coal plus it give quite a large quantity of oil for later.
