Morb farming automation

[Serpher]

I've added an automation that "clicks" once and the timer consisting of Filter Gates set to 900 seconds will open doors under outhouses and start again, although it works wonky. I noticed morb spawn in range of 600-1300 seconds. Also appears that reloading the game resets outhouse timer for morb respawn.

I've seen Morb : everything you need to know about it, but I don't get the automation there. Any tips?

With the new creatures sensor from the QoL Upgrade, it will be easy to automate the opening of the doors. When it detect a morb, it will send a signal to the doors.

Not everyone is using the QoL yet, as it is pretty unstable.

Morbs spawn 1200s after a full outhouse resets from open doors

Here's the mob farm I designed before QoL

the doors open after a 1205s delay (extra 5s time to allow doors to open)

then close after 30s to allow morbs to fall

This is one of those places a water clock is a much better option as it isn't affected by save/reloads.

Could you explain how save/reloads affect automation?

You can't get any more efficient than Neotuck's automation design.

Dude.   I'm making tons of Polluted Oxygen.  with the water empty pipe trick.  Way faster than the neotuck's design.

What you do is  have the polluted water pipe go to a bridge.  but the bridge green end doesn't go anywhere.

so  what you do is empty pipe command  and the dupe will continuously make water bottles.  

 

i'm stacking over 20 ton or more now on one tile of PW bottle  that is making 800g/s PO2 right now (just from one bottle in the one tile).

I got a row of them.

I've got 80+ puflets in one room and 80+ puflet prince in another room above it separated. being feed with continuously PO2.

You don't need morbs.  they're a huge lag for the game.

Try making the automation. Save/reload halfway through. It starts for the beginning again.

Hmm I thought that it was 900 seconds?

I'm waiting for that. QoL Update runs at 10 fps for me (compare to Stable 25fps)

Honestly I don't get how it works exactly. If you had the exact amount of water to drip then yeah.

This is true  PW bottles are way more effective than Morbs, also you don't have to deal with slimelung

Uhm no. it's the opposite, you measure the water and when an exact amount has been pumped then it triggers. Anyway, I made a comprehensive guide to making water clocks and counters here.
