I would like to watch this also ❤

Great and detailed video. Some points I would have like to be considered: 1) power-wise it is wasteful to pick up every 500g drop of coal. You could use a cycle sensor to have the sweepers run only part of the time and stagger the sensor timing between stables to distribute power draw as well. 2) debris on the floor and auto-sweepers drop decor rating. There are ways to mitigate that, but in general that might be a source of stress. 3) for the optimization of barbeque, the breeding-stock room should contain a critter condo and be big enough not to stress critters. One per stable is plenty. Might as well get some eggs out of them, unless they starve before laying an egg. I agree with not putting food there, otherwise the "fresh" critters replacing dead ones could be rather old. But you actually also don't want hatchlings to be put in the main farms, because they take grooming without producing eggs.

This video had a lot of information but the concepts were incredible! Thank you very much!

SO much better and easier to follow! Thanks!

I started to play this game about 2 weeks ago and now i've been watching all your past videos and tutorials, glad to see you're back, and i'm ready for a new series!!!

Thanks for this! I could never figure out your old way of doing with doors and a ton of automation. This is simplified

Thank you Magnet! Happy to watch more

Thanks for staying updated

TKS man! I really enjoy your videos.

Thanks for the update, Magnet!

This was great! Thank you.

I like using the door and tile anyway bc I use the rest of the space for farming; I think you could even swap the door and tile for dusk caps for early game food

Tip for farms: If you use a sweepy outside of your farm and leave the doors open, you can clear up a lot of potential power consumption, and handle all the crop outputs and seeds with one auto sweeper.

Great Video but hatches need the new critter condo for the hatch farms for the cosy buff.

Thanks for the update Mag! :))

The incubation chambers are out of date. They do help you hatch eggs faster but if you have a developed farms, they are not needed. You can attach the critter sensor to a sweeper to pick up when it gets a green signal. It can be from the ranches where it needs a critter shipped out. On the critter sensors in the ranches it can be linked to a vent to drop off eggs if the population is too low. You do not need a critter pickup for it but it does help max out the production but takes away some dup time to wrangle and ship the critters.

I am not sure f you have considered this or not, but with conveyer rails feeding hatches or other critters i also use weight plates. I keep all resources in one area with one loader to cover w/e type of critter i want to feed with rails. in each ranch i have one chute with a weight plate directly underneath it the rail will extend on to the next ranch with same set up. i set each weight plate to around 6kg which will cover the needs of the critters in the ranch. I then never need to worry only one ranch getting the majority of resources or my dupes wanting to also use the resources. Now ofc the drawback would be if the ranches need different resources entirely from each other or if using more than one resource in each ranch. Overall though usually its set up and forget for the most part as long as i keep the rscource im using in the monitor function to make sure no issues are happening.

@@Magnet_MD Obviously this uses more metal as it needs automation wires and I also have a sweeper to pick up coal or w/e dropped by critter + any eggs. I like my ranches to more or less take care of themselves with dupes only rly needing to drop new critters or groom. I noticed you dont like the feeders much, but with the sweeper dropping the resources to them instead of dupes I dont tend to get the issue you mention. The issue may happen later in the game as my issues are getting from early mid-game to further and have yet to get to anywhere near an industrial brick or working rocketry program.

So clear and easy to understand! (I’m a noob) Thank you

Btw you can use weight plate under conveyor shute. So auto sweeper don't have to work all the time.

Nice! Missed you Magnet

Thxxxx for the video ....

I go for hatch ranches as soon as possible in most of my games, usually long before I have either a mechatronic engineer or reliable amounts of refined metal. If I need food as fast as possible, I can have the ranch at max capacity, and set up the egg cracker to turn all the eggs into omelets. If I can wait a bit, I'll keep the ranch at 6, so there can be up to three eggs laid before cramping occurs. That wiggle room allows me to set up an automatic dispenser (sweep only, accept hatch eggs) into a 1x2 drowning pool through a locked screen door. If I see an egg, I just use the sweep command to clear out the accumulated coal and eggs. The latter does require feeding bins to keep people from sweeping up the food, but having a higher priority shipping bin full of stone in the ranch can at least reduce the odds of someone running half-way across the map to grab a couple kg of stone to top up the feeder. The automated waiting room is a great idea though! In the early game, I could probably tell dupes to put all eggs in an automatic dispenser, and drop them through a screen door into a locked section of the room. Once the stable needs to be replenished, automation would both allow pickup and open that locked door. When I get shipping and Cuddle Pips, it can help even out population swings from incubation times not lining up perfectly with aging.

@RothAnim

Also, instead of dumping all the stone on the floor, maybe it would be possible to use a Conveyor Receptacle in combination with the critter feeder and auto sweeper? Maybe have the receptacle at Priority 1, a bin of stone at P2, and the feeder at P3, so the sweeper fills the bin from the receptacle, and the feeder from the bin, and the dupes only get involved if they literally have nothing else to do.

I don't bother with the door and tile anymore. Considering critters will queue for grooming, I'll eat the time for the first one to get to the station. Also, considering critters now will eat from a feeder before the floor, it would prevent food that has not yet been picked off the floor from getting eaten by hatches.

The door and tile keep them contained for where they will lay their eggs. That way, you only need one sweeper to get all the eggs in a ranch that might cause hatches to become crowded...unlike the three needed for a typical 4-tile-high horizontal ranch.

@@Magnet_MD I've had pretty good luck putting a couple unpowered incubators into a Cuddle Pip ranch. Dupes will rescue an egg from the drowning pool to incubate, and the pips can still give the eggs a cuddled bonus without the power, labor or heat costs of the powered generator. The only catch is that I can never get the incubators to synch with the lifespans perfectly, so I wind up with population surges and dips. Your waiting room at 25:35 is a great solution to that.

@Magnet_MD i have a question thats a bit unrelated to this video but i need some help. In episode 20 of your base game walkthrough of oni you made a water area and cooled it with polluted water and an aquatuner. My question is that i have a cold salt slush geyser that already filled up its storage tanks and that i want to heat up so that i can turn it into clean water. Is it okay if i use -10C Brine to cool the metal thats gonna pass through and just pump it out and replace it with more brine when it gets too hot instead of using polluted water and an aquatuner? Also what is the purpose of the metal tiles that touch the insulated tiles? i feel like they arent gonna do much and since there are metal tiles that are next to the steam turbine that also touch water but i might be wrong. Thanks in advance.

You can definitely use that to cool stuff, and it's a good idea! The aquatuner setup will likely be needed at some point because the natural temperature of the Brine will get overran once you have heavier demands on your cooling, but for an intermediate step, I think you could last with the slush geysers for a while. The purpose of the metal tiles is to help distribute temperature among the rest of the liquid and pipes. It's more efficient than just the water :)

Instaliked, always good to see oni players together, im soon going to launch a new kind of video, its very cool and can even be played as pseudo multiplayer.

@timf7354

Stone hatches are good to switch over to because they can eat granite and igneous. Eventually you will run out of sandstone also some other asteroids don't even have sandstone. And if you tame volcanos, then you have infinite igneous rock to feed stone hatches. Smooth hatches are only there for the achievement. They will drop 75% of the metal ore they eat as refined metal. The metal refinery is a 100% swap. So, only use smooth hatches if you need that achievement. I haven't found a use for sage hatches. They do give full 140kg of coal if they eat dirt, polluted dirt, slime, algae, or fertilizer. So, in that regard they are better than a regular hatch or stone hatch. But, off the top of my head, I don't know how you can get infinite of any of those resources. Also, the polluted dirt is better to feed to pokeshells to be converted into lime for steel. Also, if you didn't know, what you feed hatches can change how likely they are to lay a different type of egg. Sedimentary rock fed to hatches makes them more likely to lay stone hatch eggs. The food and dirt fed to hatches makes them more likely to drop sage eggs. And stone hatches fed metal are more likely to drop smooth hatches. Last, just use incubators to keep a few eggs out to replenish your farms and let the rest of the eggs drown in water. Otherwise, when you go in to attack the hatches, they will defend themselves and hurt your dupes.

sage hatches not worth it at all. If you got tons of polluted dirt run crabs instead for the sand, but stone hatches yes if you have tons of igneous rock, if you got tons of sedimentary then run regular hatches instead. I usually run only a couple of hatch ranches and run a lot of wild planted pip ranch's and run drecos as well.

I love sage hatches, especially if you switch from dirt based foods, you can use them to process polluted dirt or dirt, but processing the dirt requires a lot of work from duplicants too so the polluted variant is more efficient.

You can feed the poke shells rotted food, you could let food rot, then feed it to them though, AKA rot piles. You can also use outhouses to make it but that requires dirt supply.
