Shove vole ranch

[Angpaur]

Hi

In this video I'm showing a shove vole ranch with optimized incubators and drowning chamber.

Incubators are enabled once per cycle and after rancher lullabied the egg the incubator is disabled to stop power consumption. The egg will still get the 20% incubation boost

When a vole pup hatches it is moved to drowning chamber if in the stable there are enough critters. Critter drop-off in the stable is set to max 8 critters and has higher priority than the drop-off in drowning chamber, so if there is less than 8 critters new pups will be moved first to the stable.

At the end of the video there is shown automation and gates settings.

The lullaby timer is a really neat trick. Excellent work.

[Angpaur]

Thank you both.
There is still room for improvement there. I'm going to install some autosweepers for automatic egg shels removal.
Also, when I finish my scanners build, regolith will be dropped in a long shaft directly to the stable.

I want more videos of your dog watching ONI on the big screen :P

[Angpaur]

Haha, well that dog was only temporarly under my "custody" ;-)

I have my own dog of the same breed, but female. Unfortunatelly she doesn't like to watch the screen like he does.

Borrow more pets! Guest animal co-op!

Remember my vole ranch? ;-)
I improved it by using signal counters instead of memory gates, which allowed to put there 2 more incubators.
I also changed the drowning chamber - now it doesn't need any automation. It is just a room with 3 layers of different liquids (petroleum, naphta and oil)

If you are interested then here are some screenshots:

So what's your main purpose for using incubators?

Oh, nice necro from 2 whole months ago :P

I love the corner mouldings, gotta squeeze in the decor wherever you can!

Is the miner just to keep the vole puke/poop from blocking the doors? Do you even need the vertical doors? I usually only have the one horizontal door on top (which IIRC is immune to being blocked by puke/poop).

Nice stuff!

I'm playing Arobria map with care packages disabled, so I don't have access to pacus. I use incubators to speed up lime and meat production.

Miner is necessary to clear the regolith, when voles poop it. Otherwise they will escape if regolith tile is created besides pneumatic doors. I guess I could avoid using that 2 vertical doors, but I wanted to shorten the patch rancher needs to take to get to incubators (but seems that right now after rearanging things it got longer). If I experience voles escaping via regolith piles again then probably I will get rid of that doors.
