Grooming Dreckos

[Lifepath [CdE]]

Hello all !

I wonder if it is usefull to groom dreckos since it doesn't seem to affect the growth of their scales

Thanks for any help !

Grooming only makes them tame and give them a happiness buff for increasing their appetite. For dreckos it doesn't matter if you grooming or not unless you want to increase their population. If so then just grooming them so they become tame is good enough and you can then disable the grooming station after.

Grooming dreckos causes them to produce more eggs (via taming them?), same as any other critter. (subject to crowding concerns)

If you're just after the scales and don't care about eggs/eggshells, then...no I don't think there's any advantage. You probably don't need to get them to eat more to produce more phosphorite either.

Yes because it affects their metabolism so they eat more when they are groomed and happy.

grooming them is useful for: breeding them into glossy dreckos (by having mealwood in the ranch), getting more eggs in general and getting more phosphorite

I have a breeding room with mealwood and a hydrogen filled shearing room I store all the extra dreckos until they turn into barbeque .

My shearing rooms with shipping to atmo and snazzy suit production.

My breeding pen inturnal waterlocks to seperate the oxygen for the mealwood and the hydrogen for the scale growth.
I am probably going to rework this and forget about the shearing station and keep them in oxygen.
I need a second pen to breed normal drekos too they are dying out.

So you don't actually feed them in your Shearing room ?

[asanger]

No feeding.
I just let them starve and turn into meat.
They live for 37 cycles before starving.

That's quite cruel !

Here is my version of a glossy drecko pen. The pipes and crude oil are just there to keep the mealwood warm enough to grow since this is a Rime map. On most maps the piping is not needed.
