Taming a volcano for the rock, not the power

[Ekimmak]

So... I have a lot of stone hatch ranches.
I've been noticing my supplies of their food running low here and there.

I have plenty of buried volcanoes I could tap, but I haven't really dealt with them before. At worst, it's been metal volcanoes.

How easily could I build a system that can keep a volcano (or minor volcano) tamed for the purpose of cooling down all the magma into igneous rock, and then cooling down the rock so it doesn't boil the base when in storage for the hatches? Will I need stuff like Isoresin, Niobium and supercoolant? Or is there a more simple method that just needs room? (Which isn't exactly easy for me at this point)

[Corona Varus]

These are the viable diet of Stone Hatches:

Try mining Mafic Rocks (nerfed last 2 years ago), Try mining sedimentary rocks first

Don't know why that piece of ♥♥♥♥ quote my comment and not even answer it either. (he keeps commenting on a rimworld posts on killboxes and spamming lol or useless spams he can put in.)

I saw her asking for screenshots and not notice it so I just posted some things from the community at the subreddit. It seems like the Oni community moved there because they don't want to have to deal with pieces of ♥♥♥♥ like the one that quote me that has the wrong information on it.

Build very similar compact volcano/steam based on your guide. Thanks. (Works perfect even with compact build.)

Sorry you have to deal with this OP, I also dealt with them and just unsubscribe and deleted some post if they decide to spam it with non-sense and just solved it by using sandbox then putting them in my base and making my own setup from what I learned.

Legit, how long has Mafic rock been a viable food source for hatches? I could have sworn that wasn't a thing last I checked.

Never, up to and including now. As usual, Corona Varus gave wrong information, and even if it was correct, it wasn't even an answer to the question.

I guess you could just throw away the power if you don't need it but it is a great way to generate power. I am taming a minor volcano with a 4 block tall box enclosed with ceramic and 4 steam turbines. Even if you don't use the power you need the steam generators to get rid of the heat.
You don't need any exotic materials but you do need some steel and plastic and I would recommend using ceramic to contain the heat.

Well, I don't need the power, but I'd still connect it to the power grid anyway, because I also wouldn't want to throw it away. Could you share a screenshot or two of what you did?

[Ekimmak]

My guess is that somehow, you get the igneous rock out of the volcano box, and then immediately conveyor it into a room for crunching the temperature down to "it won't hurt my hatches with high temperatures" range. Maybe two: A steam room turbine for getting the temperature down from "volcanic", and then an aquatuner cooled metal room for getting it to "safe" temperatures.

[Angpaur]

Keep the hatches in vacuum so you can feed them 1400C igneous rock and not worry about heating up your base.

Don't listen to him. He's trolling as usual

A lot of 2k hour players (who starts a new world) go to space (rush both oil biome and space biome) and mine the rocks that falls off the sky. I didn't manage to notice this misinformation hinge to the skulls of new players. Ceramic is used (sedimentary rocks, granite etc.) on some builds and no one ever use mafic rocks and there are a ton of them in your colony.

It's like that blue profile one telling someone to play a different game than help them. I don't even know why Steam is letting them comment in this platform.

These are all the Raw Minerals you store for your stone hatches to eat. Pretty much you won't run out.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Oxygennotincluded/comments/pdffjk/automatic_stackable_hatch_farm/

I tried searching for more. The only way to make it sustainable is if you have more resources to feed the hatches like having 600,000 igneous rocks lying around in the space biome or in your asteroid.

People go first for the coal generator + hatch farm so they can stack up on Natural Gas, Crude Oil, and Hydrogen for infinite power usage in the late before they get to use them and run out quickly. Pretty much people find way to exploit the little things the game gives like SPOM setups.

Says someone, who just provided totally false info that stone hatches can eat mafic rock, LOL.
Why do you keep spreading misinformation? This is what trolls usually do.

I guess it's outdated then. They probably nerfed it.

I didn't quote your comment, and I didn't answer the question because my purpose was to prevent the OP or anyone else reading your comment from incorrectly believing that Stone Hatches can eat Mafic Rock.

he keeps commenting on a rimworld posts on killboxes

Yes, how dare I talk about a known tactic in a different game, in the forum for that game?

I saw her asking for screenshots

OP didn't ask for screenshots.

Again, I didn't quote you, and I checked in-game before I posted the fact that your information was wrong.

Ekimmak, here's a link to a setup for metal volcanoes, but it should work just as well for rock.

If you're not after power I suspect you could probably skip parts of it.

*Disclaimer* I haven't tried this exact setup but it looks about right. (And a lot more elegant than my setups...)

Are you a badly programmed bot that just links random posts? Your link doesn't list food stone hatches eat. It doesn't even talk about what stone hatches eat.
I've been ignoring your misinformation posts, but damn, it's like you're actively trying to make new people confused and leave the game.

All you have to do is post a link, not drag me into your non-sense.

She literally asked for one and you won't provide one. You just let her be confused. Just because I was doing something else that doesn't mean I didn't troll what you did. You're pretty much a spammer.


As for you

Keep this up and you'll be banned for sure.

No one from the past 2 years has ever found you helpful from 50 to the last page of the comments you made. Like ever, only trolls give you the helpful button or anyone who didn't even found your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ helpful and just marked it helpful. How sad that is.

Edit: I don't want to comment because of bumping it making more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ go crazy

Melting regolith can actually feed your hatches.

Lava actually has a higher heat capacity than regolith, meaning that once you start melting regolith, the entire process is actually energy positive.

I found this cool guide that I never knew it works. Just watch the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video. I don't want to explain a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 30 minute video. What am I a person that gives ♥♥♥♥ that feeds obsession?

You can also feed them sand, which you can make out of any rock with the rock grinder.

Think of it as 'prechewing' the igneous rock for regular hatches. Still I prefer to just go with stone hatches, they're the easiest to feed.

[Ekimmak]

Well, for a start, I didn't ask for hatch ranch builds. I already have one. The problem is that I know I will run out eventually, and they're a significant part of my food supply.

I could start launching drill rockets, but I don't generate radiation in the slightest bit close to what it'd need to make sustainable diamond. Hence, tame a proper magma-producing volcano.

Now, the reason I'm asking about, is because from what I've read, these things produce a lot of magma over a short time, and I don't know whether the usual metal volcano tamer can work for that.

Oh really? What about that recent post?
https://steamcommunity.com/app/457140/discussions/0/3426696555545824264/#c3426696555545863473

If you had really checked my posts you would have seen that I have a lot of my posts marked as answers.

Also a 9 extra helpfull awards on my profile contradict your words. You really have no idea what you talk about, do you? You just throw some random accusations, same like you spam peaople with random links.

And by the way stone hatches have never had mafic rock on their diet, so no, it wasn't nerfed. Once again fake news from you.
