Slime Farm and Morb trapping?


Recommended Posts

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?

Thanks <3

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

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 :(

Polluted water -> Polluted O₂

this is also really promising. 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.

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.

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
