Raising Baby giga

[Suha]

Hello
How many full feeding trought of meat are needed for 1 giga + in his inventory? To leave for about 10h. I am scared that he will die when I go to sleep.
Thanks

Just see how many meat it eats in 1 minute for example, and then do the maths. Also, i think they eat less meat when in stasis.

They are now at about 5% and they eat 2 meat in a minute i thing maybe even one not sure

5%? Sounds like you're in a boosted server. Do you know what's the maturation time? Gigas takes 2 weeks to become adults on official rates.

Its 3x on official now. I play on official

If you are worried about it dying cryopod the baby, Yes it will overall take longer but less risk of it dying.

the amount of meat is not the problem, a full through is technically enough meat.
The problem is it most of it spoiling within 8 hours or so.

A full inventory and a through of meat is enough for the giga for 10 hours. But you need to either put preserving salt in it, and have a good bunch of cooked meat/cooked fishmeat in there to make it last long enough.

8 troughs or tek fridges.. freeze meat before you drop it in the regular trough..this keeps it from spoling fast. Recomend putting it away ..cryo.. when logging.

ik that I can cryo but thats why i asked cause I want to raise him afap when is 3x.

1 trough of raw meat and one with about half cooked and then some kibble. Iirc they eat kibble too if nothing is available and simple or basic kibble is easy to made produce.

Or just plop down 1 or 2 tek troughs if you have access to them, that'll last too.

1 meat takes 40 minutes to spoil. A stack of meat is 20. A full stack therefore spoils in 13 hours so the issue is not that all the meat in the trough will spoil but it does highlight the importance of factoring spoilage in calculations. i.e. To say "my giga eats 2 meat per minute so I need 10 hours x 60 minutes x 2 meat" as someone suggested would lead to a dead giga because in 10 hours 3/4 of that stack has spoiled.

In fact the stacks go to 40 in official now, so, 26 hours should be ok for him to leave the giga 11 hours with a full feeding trought if it only eats 2 per minute. After 11 hours there would be arround 1k meat left. So yeh, what i said was not and absolute stupidity.

Oh that's good that they increased stacks on officials then.
