fleranon Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm trying to build a slime farm to sustain my shroom farm, the slime resources on the map will be depleted at some point. For this I am farming a couple dozen pufts. What is the best way to generate the polluted oxygen needed? I started to spawn morbs with the ol' "full outhouse trick" but how many of them do I need to generate the needed amount of oxygen? is there another, better way? does anyone have a functioning slime farm since ranching mk2? Also: morbs seem not to respond to traps, eventhough the tooltip says otherwise. Bug?

Carnis Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hot polluted oxygen vent + Pipe radiator Pufts eat horrendous amounts of pO2. I have 9 and they are starving constantly so no omeletts.

Neotuck Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 1 hour ago, Carnis said: Hot polluted oxygen vent infected polluted oxygen vent would be better, they usually output more PO2 at lower temperatures and the slimelung is manageable as for the morbs it take s 2 to support 1 puft if you have it in a little bit of water to trick the morb into thinking it's in a vacuum Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/90383-slime-farm-and-morb-trapping/#findComment-1031608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleranon Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 i already have a lot of pufts in my farms (just nearly starving). so for 100 shrooms I need around 25 Pufts, this means 50 morbs. These numbers are not a problem... except performance-wise. Does anyone has experience with this amount of pufts/morbs? Is it laggy as hell? If so I will scale back on shrooms. I dont have a polluted oxygen vent on my current map unfortunately 4 hours ago, cremisi said: Polluted water -> Polluted O₂ this is also really promising. Not a 100% sure how to build the compression setup but I will try it Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/90383-slime-farm-and-morb-trapping/#findComment-1031638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a 100% sure how to build the compression setup but I will try it The compressor isn't really necessary, you can just fill a really wide and flat chamber with pwater as long as you understand the gassing mechanics. The thing the compressor does is force the surface tiles to always have very high mass. Sometimes in a free standing pool your surface tiles could be nearly empty; you wouldn't get much gas.

fleranon Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 thanks. What do you mean by gassing mechanics? leaving a line of tiles for air over the water so the gasses can escape? On the morb trap thing... morbs cant be trapped right? Any experiences?

avc15 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 No, how gassing works. The wiki doesn't have precise details, but every tic each tile that's in contact with a gas has a very low chance of converting a small percentage of its mass to po2. If the surface tile has low mass your emission rate will drop substantially. So even without a compressor you need a large surface area and some automation. Someone can probably state the real numbers. In addition these rules can hint at ways to prevent gassing in an open tank. Easiest way - put a thin film of regular water on top.

fleranon Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Oh, I know how gassing works, believe me. I just demonstrated it to my roommates a couple of minutes ago. Seriously though, thanks for the info. I'll go for morbs atm, now I just need to move these things. I think it's a bug that they dont respond to traps Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/90383-slime-farm-and-morb-trapping/#findComment-1031654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
