My original guide did not exploit this bug, however until the bug was patched it was impossible to know how many plants should be put in a stable to "future proof" the design. Previously it was possible to sustain large populations of dreckos off a very small number of plants, for example a full stable might require only 2-3 mealwood plants. The first was the recent Fast Friends update, which patched a longstanding bug about how dreckos eat. There were three major factors that drove me to rewriting this guide. Then, I stumbled into a drecko ranch design I found truly inspiring: But while those results scratched the "challenge" itch, none of them were interesting enough or efficient enough to write a guide about. I ended up building 4-5 designs with working critter droppers, and some of the more exotic ones even included thermo regulators, aquatuners and steam turbines for cooling. Managing gas pressure between floors could be a challenge unless the entire ranch is full of hydrogen. Whatever mechanism is used to allow critters to fall between floors would also allow hydrogen to rise and mix with other gasses.In order to shear dreckos for plastic and reed fiber, they must spend time in a hydrogen atmosphere.Otherwise the other dreckos in the stable would crawl through the open doors into the stables above and below. Since dreckos can climb on walls and ceilings, you can't simply leave open doors in the floor for dropped critters to fall through.If you're not following why this might be challenging, there are a handful of unique requirements for ranching dreckos that don't match well with the critter dropper technique: I figured it would require several compromises in space usage and efficiency, assuming I got it to work at all, but I wanted to try nonetheless. For that reason I decided to challenge myself to see if a drecko ranch was even possible with a critter dropper design. I've seen some really well done drecko ranches, but for reasons that make a lot of sense I've never seen a single one use a 'critter dropper' to automate repopulation. After my guides for ranching hatches and divergents, I was ready to take a break and actually play the game for a while :) Last updated for the Fast Friends Update - Build 509629I never intended to write a guide on dreckos.
