Hi everyone, quick update as per the October 2023 Quality of Life Update, Slicksters can now be wrangled by dupes.

Only thing is for some reason they almost always phase inside a wall or floor every time I do that so I just move instead of wrangle to prevent this

Long hair slicksters take less water than berrys per 1000kcal, making them a viable food source for maps with a lot of water

That's an interesting way to think about it that I've never considered, and my maths agrees with you.

Their ranch design is the easiest, too: 1) You only collect eggs, so your autosweepers and conveyor loaders consume less power. 2) Their food transports itself. 3) Their temperature range and atmosphere are comfortable for dupes. 3) Unlike dupes, their population is easy to control, so you can produce extra oxygen without worrying about the system failure and get hydrogen in the process. P.S. As for water, having lots of it in ONI is OP. XD

I have used them for meat and I found it easier to automate than shove voles.

we dont deserve this man, so devoted to the work!

Personally, I wouldn't underestimate Longhair Slicksters. I had the entire colony sustained by water geysers, cool steam vents, and solar panels. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum were cut to fight "Climate Change." XD Longhair Slicksters have the simplest ranch design since they don't produce any waste outside of the eggshells, while oxygen don't require any transportation inside of your core base and it's production is your top priority anyways, so you might as well produce some more while harvesting hydrogen for power.

Huh, I never thought of using longhair slicksters to intentionally delete excess oxygen when you're trying to create hydrogen for power if you've got a sustainable water surplus. Good idea. Probably a good way to get the Super Sustainable achievement too.

@@FearlessSon not worth the effort for all that ranching. just use hydra electrolyzer setups or if you're insistent on using the classic rodriegez(sorry for misprononciation i cant remember it) then just went the excess o2 to space or use door crushers

The videos are flooding my feed, and I'm loving it 👌👌

They are great with an ethanol cycle too. Which is great because pdirt from ethanol distillers can be used to produce oxygen, meaning that the system provides both food and oxygen, everything a dupe requires to survive.

Yep, I didn't mention specifically because the numbers are more variable but as the ethanol goes into petroleum generators then the way to ranch slicksters as a result is the same.

For molten slicksters, I just pipe the petroleum boiler output with radiant pipes into the ranch filled with carbon dioxide and liquid seal it, it keeps the ranch toasty 👌🏻

Definitely a good idea!

wait, longhair slicksters? how the hell have i never known there was a third slickster. wow i feel daft now.

Myfirst ever time to attend this kind of release event!

Hmmmm..... Maybe longhair slickster farming with all the extra oxygen I have from liquid o2/h2 generation...... I was debating restarting hatch ranching lately, but this has potential.

The perfect video for me to learn how to utilize the slicksters to their maximum potential!

I really wish longhair slicksters did something other than just add decor. I'd like it if instead of adding 50 decor they could reduce the negative decor of a room by like 100 or something. That way they'd be in industrial areas like the other slicksters. Or they could've produced small amounts of ethanol if there's floral scent in the oxygen they consume. They really feel like a missed opportunity, just like smooth hatches.

love your vids fungus, keep making them

Great tutorial, thanks

I've been working on my rocketry program and built a 1kg/s liquid hydrogen generator and am now left with the problem that I'm also producing nearly 8kg/s of oxygen. Since I only need 250g/s of liquid oxygen and about 3kg/s for my dupes, I'm left with 4.75kg/s and nothing to do with it, but I could feed 95 longhair slicksters, basically for free. Or basically double the amount of barbecue that my base of 30 dupes needs.

I like to stick longhairs in a SPOM to increase power/H2 output since electrolyzers are usually limited by O2 overpressure

unnecessarily, just use a submerged spom setup and the electrolyzer will run flat out 100%... as long as you can feed it water. i usually run 4 submerged electrolyzer's in a spom and can power my whole base with just water. and with this you will have excess o2 and hydrogen storage built in, and can easily feed the liquid hydrogen/O2 cooler to make rocket fuel..it hits like 4 birds with 1 rock.

plus all that free power

oh hey you've made a few more of these! helpful as always. though I haven't been seeing your videos show up for me. maybe it's because you post alot of vods? you could try creating a seperate vods channel but that's just a recommendation from me. love your stuff!

finally after so long.

My favourite critter!!

Nice

inside the ranch chamber you don't need to build 2 tiles separately when you could build another door that takes up 2 tiles. Usually people build the 2nd door sideways on top of the single door limit the critters path kind of like an upside down L

I hadn't thought of that or seen it elsewhere, but makes perfect sense as an alternative way to do it.

No wild ranching? That’s my go to early-ish game when im not sure I can feed them enough to know they won’t starve, but I do want to handle the CO2 waste in a productive way.

gotta have one longhair buddy as a pet

What an awesome design! Great job GCFungus! I've been semi happy with the current designs I use in my playthroughs, but now I'm definitely switching to this! One question I have though, I keep seeing that specific automation set up with your incubators, is there somewhere I can find it in detail? Thank you in advance! And keep up the great work!

Thanks for the answer, I didn't thought that design was part of the industrial brick so i didn't checked that. (i figured out the design was to heat thing at the end, but i ended with so many steam that every slickster died.. i will check your video to see how you manage it now x) @@GCFungus

Is there any other use for carbon dioxide? I found geyser but I usually see carbon dioxide as a wasteproduct that needs rl be taken care of. Is slickters the only way, in that case i need to go to the molten biome

@GCFungus

On a large scale not really, that's why slicksters are so useful!

Kinda disagree about longhair , in Space out those shine bug have radiation which is harmful so longhair ( especially if you manage to have a wild one ) make for great pet / deco . Plus people have way too much oxygen with the right SPOM set up .

Ok, i am not against these adorable float balls, but I feel like for how useful they can be, they should be nerfed. They are floating carpets with a cute smile that consumes gas, so in my opinion they should give less meat. I feel like this can be a decent nerf that won't ruin base sustainability.

What's going on with the incubator setup? Looks like complicated automation

@FearlessSon

9 ай бұрын

If I'm not mistaken, the pressure plate beneath each incubator triggers a delayed power-down of the incubator. What speeds egg maturation is when ranching dupes come and fondle the incubator, which they only do when it's powered, but it doesn't need that power to *sustain* the growth, just to renew the touch. So you can shut off incubators and turn them back on the next cycle to save power without slowing growth.

@GavinBisesi

@@FearlessSon oh interesting, I've always done it just with timers but I can see how this is more robust. I tend to just overbuild though so if there's some inefficiency it just evens out

@GCFungus

9 ай бұрын

Yep, it's a very efficient way to power the incubators, but a simple timer sensor with 600s off is also not a bad approach. I covered both in the main Critters Tutorial Bite, hence why I assume it to be understood here and in the Tutorial Bites for the other critters.

I got three eggs in the blueprints, built them a pen next to my coal generators then had them die because it still wasn't hot enough... 😩
