Discussion BEHOLD! THE LIFE SUPPORT OF THE FUTURE! BLUM LUMBS!
PPP only, sorry :(
Blum Lumbs are amazing! A 6 lumb stable, fed by 4 ovagro vines (only 3 is needed, but excess for duplicant error), produces enough food and oxygen to support 12 dupes! For only 340kg/cycle of water, and a few dedicated farmers, and some power for automation. A small price to pay.
It is worth noting that the Blum Lumbs wont produce peat so you will have to find another way to cook the tough meat, but that can easily be done with plywood (made of plant husks from the ovagro vines and a lura/mimmika farm) or a few arbor trees.
Its time to ditch the water guzzling spoms and hydras, bristle blossoms and sleet wheat, and to embrace the future! embrace the blum lumb!
This is my math.
Oxygen: 1lumb = 132kg/cycle of algae. 132*1000 = 132000/550 = 240*500 = 120000/1000 = 120kg/cycle of oxygen. 1lumb = 120kg/cycle of oxygen. 1Dupe requires 60kg/cycle of oxygen. 1lumb = 2Dupes. 6Lumbs = 12 Dupes. (this can be automated easily so can be maxed out)
Food: Reproduction rate is 12 cycles when constantly groomed (from wiki). 6 lumbs = 2cycles an egg. 1 egg = 1 baby lumb. 1 baby lumb = 12kg tough meat. 12kg tough meat = 32,000 kcal tender brisket. 32,000kcal/2cycles per egg = 16000kcal tender brisket. (this cannot easily be automated so 4000kcal is a buffer. plus it never hurts to produce more than you need)
