Oni Noob Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi, I am just wondering how many hatch should I raise for me to have a sustainable supply of eggs for omelette(Yummy). Currently I have 7 Duplicants not sure whats the ratio of Hatch: Dups.

Neotuck Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 At 100% happiness it takes a hatch 10 cycles to produce 1 egg, and one omelet is 2,800 kcal The average dupe needs 2,000 kcal per cycle 1,000 kcal per cycle 10 cycles (20,000 10,000 kcal) divide by (2,800 kcal) omelet is 7.14285 3.5714 Round up it will take 8 hatches 4 hatches to sustain 1 dupe So for 7 dupes you will need 7 stables at 96 tile room size (max for 8 hatches) each with grooming and feeding stations 28 hatches (about 4 stables) Good luck Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89175-hatch-egg-for-food/#findComment-1020309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try keeping a stable of slicksters as well to for an easy boost to egg supply.

And also do they produce egg every 10 cycle?

JonnyMonroe Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hatch is sustainable, it's just difficult to use as your sole source of food. If you use natural gas or petro gens then you should be keeping slicksters as the best option to deal with the co2 anyway and the eggs are a nice byproduct. In my current colony I'm keeping 20 slicksters over 3 stables and 6 hatches in another stable. My 12 dupes mostly live on eggs but small berry and sleet wheat farms make up the rest.

PhailRaptor Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Effectively cooling a Large Volcano (magma) would probably be the best bet for sustainable scaleable Hatch feeding. But that is quite obviously a late game scenario -- they put out a lot of heat you'd then have to cool.

suicide commando Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If you want to make ommelettes, slicksters are a much better egg source, they don't eat your materials, only CO2, which you can send down there from a NG generator / Fertiliser maker power station. Just remember to set up an exosuit entry point to the downstairs part of your base where you keep them, as it's warm down there. Oh and you get oil as a bonus from them too Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89175-hatch-egg-for-food/#findComment-1020424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsawn Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Haha! On this note... eggs should make all dupes flatulent Emulating real life, too many eggs mean distinguishing smelly eggy farts, stressing out their friends and turning your base into a natural gas generator. If you don't know what I mean, I invite you to share a tight space with me after I have boiled eggs for breakfast... For extra stupidness, freeze natural gas made from egg farts to make lovely fart omelettes Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89175-hatch-egg-for-food/#findComment-1020479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
