Description
Raise, breed, and profit off your own unique space chickens! :D

Once you have access to the outpost then you will be able to find Scotty the Avian explorer.



He's heard some pretty interesting rumors about these rare chickens so you might want to make your way there pretty quickly. He should provide you with the recipes to craft the incubator, chicken nest, and feather compressor through a series of quests.


Chicken Nest, Feather Compressor, Incubator

You'll place a fertile egg and it's corresponding ore (coal for normal/rooster) into the incubator to produce a hatchable egg.

To get more fertile eggs from your chickens you will use the net gun to shoot a net at your chickens, once you've netted them then you can place them into the nest (1 x chicken of a certain type and 1 x rooster - there's only one rooster) to produce more fertile eggs which then can be incubated and hatched. DO NOT NET A BABY, they will not survive. :( I'm trying to figure out a workaround for that at the moment.


Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond

Chickens will roam around as usual, however, they will occasionally become ready for harvest and will drop feathers! (you must press E on them to harvest) Once you have 5 of a certain feather you can then take them and put them into the feather compressor. Press compress and watch the bar/refined element appear before your eyes! :D

Lastly you will find the eggs that you are not able to find in the quests in chests out on planets! Explore and find them all!

That's basically it for now! The included chickens are as follows:

Normal Chickens
Normal Rooster
Copper Chickens
Silver Chickens
Robot (Iron) Chickens
Golden Chickens
Diamond Chickens
Tungsten Chickens
Titanium Chickens
Durasteel Chickens
Aegisalt Chickens
Ferozium Chickens
Violium Chickens
Solarium Chickens
Poultrygeist Chickens (Ghost!)
Crystal Chickens

That's about it... for now. Expect big things! Please let me know of any comments, concerns, etc. Especially if you're enjoying it! :)

Future plans:

HYBRIDS! (Diamond-solarium and beyond!)

Thank you for Poultrygeist. Most people don't get it when I make that joke.

Updated to version 4.0. Let me know what everyone thinks and if the bugs were actually fixed.

Fixed issue with ore bar crafting recipes
Added effects to Incubator and Chicken Nest.
Revised NetGun Mk2 projectile and effects.
Quests revamped and extended.
NPC dialogue revised.
Chicken Eggs now have a VERY rare chance to spawn a rooster baby.
Incubator and Chicken Nest now show ready states and progress as they incubate or breed chickens.

Would love to like this mod, but I am also having it render a lot of bar smelting recipes not working. Maybe this isn't an issue for people who subscribe to this after those blueprints have been unlocked, wouldn't know. What I do know is I just tested my game save where I couldn't craft the bars by removing every mod and adding each back in one at a time, checking in game if the recipes were available, then replacing the save file with a backup to reset the crafting recipes to still not being there, and it is most certainly this mod. And in case anyone asks, no I have absolutely no overhaul mods like FU.

Can you breed more roosters?

@Eldzdyn
Sorry about that. I think I figured it out. Thank you.

When I use the netgun to net a normal hen it does damage instead of capture it. Could it be a mod conflict?
Elex Blue May 31, 2023 @ 4:15pm 
This seems really cool. Would you maybe consider a setting to keep them in chick state?

Copper bars is still an issue! I have no fracken mods, and removed every mod from my game but this one. Copper bar recipe disappears as soon as I add this mod in, along with several others

I know what is the problem with the recipes. You have a conflict going on; both recipes for copper bars (made from the furnace and made from the feathers) have the same internal name, and the game is getting confused. With this mod enabled, silver and copper bars vanished from my furnace. As someone said, you can fix it by adding a prefix to the internal names.
