Oxygen Not Included - Critter Tutorial Bites - Gassy Moos

This tutorial bite for Oxygen Not Included looks at the strange space cows, the Gassy moos. I explain why and how to use them to make natural gas, meat or brackene.

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

[Rd]

Please note that, in the latest Public Testing Update, Moos can be wrangled alongside slicksters, pufts, and shinebugs, and that Gas Grass now has access to the Exuberant Mutation, removing the light requirement and making it grow 400% faster, in exchange for 50% more dirt and chlorine.

Somehow I never realized that gases in game absorb sunlight and can make less light get through. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone even mention it until now. This game has the appearance of a light, easier game, but is actually very layered and dense.

With the Frosty Planet Pack we now got the mercury lamp which can light 3 plants, which mean you need 4 mercury lamps for a full ranch or 5(if critter condo) and with them just needed 10k lux we might be able to limit the mercury intake of the lamps and have it just flicker a lil over 10k lux to keep it consistent.

Also I believe instead of using sunlamps for the plants we can actually use double layer ceiling lights with some floor lamps to get 10k lux for less power than the sunlamp

The problem is that so much of this - especially the liquid chlorine - is so late game that you've already overcome every problem it could have helped. I get more brackeen with less work out of my wheat and pepper farms, enough to keep my Giant Tube Elevator well waxed and flowing smoothly, and usually between 1.5 - 2 full fridges, even accounting for what I shoot off to the resin-tree.

This honestly feels more like an "I'm sufficiently built up than I EVEN CAN do this" flex, more than any positive use.

I like how the Dupe takes off their atmo suit helmet when milking a Gassy Moo.

[lorenzpacis]

Producing 20 kg Brackene from the following plants requires...
Nosh Beans: 11.55 kg water (from domestic Arbor Trees)
Sleet Wheat Grain: 55 kg water
Pincha Peppernut: 227 kg water
.
The Gassy Moo converts 1 kg chlorine into 50 kg Brackene per cycle.
.
In addition, the Gassy Moo only needs to be milked every 4 cycles. Gassy Moos are a far more resource & dupe operation efficient source of Brackene over the Plant Pulverizer.

That acumoolation song and animation was sooo cute. The resulting fart crash from the new arrival had the wife and I crying from laughter. Well done Klei.

3:55 Two layers of normal lamps one above the other, will produce enough light for them

[commonsense-oggz]

the moo can also be used to make water for oxygen, since brackene can be boiled into brine, effectively turning a chlorine vent into an oxygen source. also, i would not regard them as hard to ranch as voles, since voles require enormous feeding demands, and have the 2% chance to spawn the delectavoles, meaning they will die off over time. i believe this would be more stable of a bbq source over time.

Ah yes. The last critter I need for the achievement to complete my All Achievement Run

Love these videos man, keep up the good work!

[Lorens]

I was very excited about getting natural gas from the alternative source. Not for power, but for Gas Range, cause we can't get the electric varient for high-quality food for some reason. Until I realized that this way consumes from 13 to 30 Kw of power, dirt, chlorine, 120 cycles of labor, and access to planetoid 50000 km away (base game). WHYYYY???

[kawapatch]

Awww they're just lil' big buddies! Give em a big ol' hug!

[ahmetfarukekim]

4.50 i didnt think that id laugh so hard for an animation like wtf i didnt expect that

[APS_Inc]

Honestly aside from the brackene I'm not sure how useful they are and the expense of both finding a chlorine source and then cooling it to a liquid seems excessive. I'm barely positive with my chlorine for bleach stone. Where the heck am I gonna find enough for gas grass in the base game?

[cckiez]

Don't we also need to cool down the sunlaps? They are heating up like crazy.

[Davini]

Do they produce natty gas if they aren't fed? Can they be starvation ranched if they're grooomed?

[MrPuddle]

In the spaced out dlc can you bring gassy moos to other planets?

ahhh it's 2:30 am... I should be sleeping
