Oxygen Not Included - Critter Tutorial Bites - Shove Voles

I though that at 2% decay rate that means you only need three extra eggs per 100 shove vole per 150 cycles to maintain your ranch?

I comment to help statistics

I built the minimum feed ranch and it works but sometimes dupes still refill the critter feeder manually, even if it is on priority 1. Is there any way to stop the dups?

This is such a good tutorial ty, very useful

Now I kinda wanna see someone make a Curried Bean powered base with like... 24 dupes.

feeder at priority 1 is replenished continuously by dupes if they are idle... any solution?

I'd love to see a divergent critter tutorial, i just like them, even tho rhey might be a lil outclassed

Haven't played oni in a hot minute, but in my main colony I have a uncontrolled shove vole population in my ranch, didn't expect how many eggs they'd drop if fed every now and then. It's to the point I have to purge them every few cycles to keep up frame rate 😂

great tutorial and voice

a couple of things to point out:
1. dirt to feed voles will be best produced from ethanol distillers. this is way more effective over pips for such a large task.
2. voles are frequently brought in through the printing pod. i get so many offers that i don't have to focus on actual ranches.

i haven't yet worked with the delecta voles, so i don't know if wild ones have the ability to keep the 12% cycle growth rate when they eat. if you have tested this, then how effective is non starvation ranching of them, and if ranching them, is it possible to keep the scales growing while in the glum state, only feeding them without grooming them?

Another great tutorial, keep it up!

In the base game, you can get around 55 kg/s of regolith if you harvest from the entire space biome.

I literally was about to start on shove voles. Perfect timing!

U make the best oni tutorials... By far! Thank you

The introduction of Delecta Voles seems like a slight nerf to the OP but definitely convenient starvation ranch.
If the Curried Beans or maybe pills made from Tonic Root gave dupes heat resistance and e.g. made them able to walk through magma while wearing an atmo suit, I could see them be used.
The yield from sheering Delectas needs a big increase.

Great video, useful stuff to know. Maybe the in-game database should link to your channel :p

All your "bites" have been done bigger, better, before. Your late to the party, pal.

....THE WORST ONES TO RANCH!!!!!DUE TO THEY OR EAT TOO MANY WITH THESE TILES OR HAVING LOTS OF ATTENTION WITH RANCHING DUPES!!!!

.....ON TOP OF THAT,THE WIKI DOESNT MENTION ABOUT THEY'RE NOT BURROW THROUGH METAL TILES,ONLY PNEUMATIC DOORS!!!!

.......AND THEY RE DANGEROUS IF ARE LEFT UNATTENDED TO STRANGLE AROUND THE BASE!!!DUE TO THEY OBLITIRATE FEEDERS FOR SMOOTH HATCHES OR DIRT!!!!!!.........

......JUST HORRIBLE SO I'VE TRIED....BUT ENDED UP WITH A ROOM OF METAL TILES TO KEEP THEM AT WILD STATE.......PRETTY MUCH SMALL FOOD SUPPLY BUT AT LEAST THEY DONT RAVAGE THE BASE AND INTERESTING TO LOOK AT


.....ABOUT DELECTA VOLES--HELL NO ......FIRST OF ALL,TEMPERATURE,SECOND OF ALL---ALSO TIE UP A MEDICIAN TO CONSTANTLY MAKE ANTI ALLERGIC PILLS FOR ALL THE COLONY???......UNAPPROPRIATE...........

....THE ONLY REAL USE FOR THEM IS ABOUT BUILD OF NATURE RESERVES.........

I feel bad starvation ranching in general. feels exploity to me. Any thoughts on the value of delectavoles under that condition?

Thanks for not posting a short.

I gave this a think, and I wonder if a better shove vole ranch design is to have only 2k/9cycles not-quite-starving breeder stables and send all the eggs to an evolution chamber. (Hold back however many eggs you need for replacement in incubators, of course.)

My concern is that the starvation stables require more labour and time-to-meat. In your design a newly hatched critter takes 5 cycles to grow up, 5.88 to lay a replacement egg, and another 8 or 9 cycles to finish starving. About 19 cycles total, requiring grooming for 14 cycles. Drowning the eggs gives you the meat with zero labour, immediately after hatching. Less lag too.

Great Tutorial and perfect timing :D.

At this moment working on the video for shove vole ranch Nr. 4 with a delectavole buffer (regaining the eggs).
Same method as you mentioned. Feed them every 9 cycles
(or when there are 2 delectavoles feed them every cycle to increase the chance of them actually resetting the starvation timer)

Please do a gassy moo tutorial, there are like 0 tutorial on them

Great video 👍🔝

I mean, you can still shear the occasional unlucky delecta vole.

Mais um video excelente!!

thanks for the great content

I was just looking for a video on Shove Voles from you yesterday so perfect timing dude!
