Oxygen Not Included - Critter Tutorial Bites - Bammoths

This tutorial bite for Oxygen Not Included is the first to look at one of the Frosty Planet Pack DLC critters, the bammoth - elephant like critters that are a great source of meat, reed fiber and bammoth patties.

2:38 Nectar is also an option now, it has a high SHC (almost as good as water) and freezes at -82.50C (-116F)

They recently introduced Regal Bammoths. They can grow a crown made of gold amalgam (if I remember right, each 10 cycles) instead of reed fiber when fed Squash fries. So 25 kg of gold ore per cycle. They seem like a great option maybe for ranching with plug slugs too, as well as I believe the price in ethanol is worth it. I think 4 bammoths make 100kg of gold per cycle and cost 150 kg of ethanol to feed + some tallow. I think they are a great option and very viable since you are still getting patties and meat, and once you spend some initial amount of reed fiber into your decoration, sweaters and atmo suits, you don't much of it.

Your videos always give me a 1980's educational video vibe.

Oakshell: "am i a joke to you"

I never noticed until now, bammoths and baminis has no feet, they just hopping around.

[Darkendragon]

you have some missing information in this one. oak shells are another source of wood, getting the polluted dirt from the ethanol distillers giving even more wood. making it even more sustainable.

also it should be mentioned, that when they lay the bammoth patty, they release some floral scent, so try to keep allergic dupes away from them if possible. I discovered this when I kept getting the allergy warning constantly and was confused cuz I didn't have any plants that released floral scent.

also you dont need a door and a tile on top to block them like other ranches. you can have a single tile on the ground. they can't jump up onto a single tile. they need 2 tile wide platforms to jump up and babies can't jump at all so they will get stopped by that single tile.

5:00 Love the chart more of this please!!!

[Somebody-bvcd]

3:48 I think this point is very important - bammoths should primarily be ranched for reed fiber and patties with meat as a side product, because if all you wanted was food just growing plume squashes is far easier.

I have been using nectar as a coolant for the Plume squash farm/ Bammoth ranch and most other application since the DLC dropped. Now you only need supercoolant for liquefying some gasses.

[commonsense-oggz]

don't forget that oak shells exist in this game as well. one will likely have a huge stockpile of polluted dirt anyway, since the temperatures are too cold for standard plumbed washrooms. assuming you have pufts, you can support a large number on slime.

[zacharybateman]

Squash fries are straight up better for the sustainable loop, because the plants per bammoth drops from 4 to 2.25 so you can get away with 7 floxes instead of 16.

[Somebody-bvcd]

New regal bammoth morph soon too, an infinite source of ore (the best one too, gold amalgam) without needing to go to space.

[zeus_pop]

Bamoths are actually calorie negative compared to the plume squash, not by much but they are only useful for clay, phosphorite and reed fibre

[soundspark]

All of a sudden my struggling colony got a huge influx of calories. Turned out my Bammoths were starving to death.

[Thryfte]

I messed up my initial math and ended up with 8 full Flox ranches supporting 1 Bammoth ranch 😂 also got 1200 cycles in before figuring out I csn get gold from regal bammoths... i was trying to get a cargo pod 90, 000km into space to a far off gold asteroid.... i'm very excited to finally get my hands in some super coolant. (Playing without Spaced Out, but with all other DLCs)

[Youmu_Konpaku_]

Do note that bammoth ranching SIGNIFICANTLY eats a lot of ethanol which could have been fed to your power grid. And when building ethanol distillers I would advice building them near space as they can seriously turn a planetoid in a pressure cooker of c02

[pierrotdeanau]

Oni is not complete if @CGFungus don’t have a tutorial bite done on it ! :) thx for your work

[mrjblacc]

0:46 you can do that???? OMG I had NO idea!

[killagoku]

On Ceres planets Bammoths are the best but on other starting planets ill argue that Floxes are the better critter overall out of the 3. Great Tutorial bite otherwise.

[exxon]

Nectar is now a premium coolant, with almost no difference in SHC compared to water, while having a very generous temperature range.

Ethanol has the temperature range but half the THC so you get half the power efficiency out of an Aquatuner
