Standard dreckos can subsist off mealwood, pincha pepperplant, and balm lily, while glossy dreckos eat bristle blossoms or mealwood. Mealwood is perhaps the most plentiful plant in Oxygen Not Included, and dupes prefer not to eat food made from it. This makes mealwood an excellent food source for both varieties of drecko.
How to feed dreckos?
How to feed Dreckos? I am trying to get the plastic morph. Do I need to use farm tiles so the Dreckos can get the plants or what? About how much plant per animal? 1 mealwood per drekko should be enough. Just make sure you make a hydrogen trap at the top of the room so the drekkos can replenish their scales without the hydrogen touching your plants.
How do you keep glossy drecko alive?
In order to keep Glossy Drecko (hereafter Drecko for short), it is necessary to provide them with access to food (a Mealwood that needs oxygen, polluted oxygen or carbon dioxide to grow), and a hydrogen atmosphere. And the more time he spends in hydrogen, the better (faster wool will grow).
How do you breed dreckos in oxygen not included?
There are two varieties of dreckos in Oxygen Not Included; standard dreckos and glossy dreckos. In order to breed glossy dreckos, players must first domesticate standard dreckos and supply them with a diet of mealwood. Both varieties of drecko eat live plants rather than harvested resources or plant materials.
How much mealwood per drecko?
For mealwood it's 67% (two thirds) of a plant IIRC. Mealwood takes 3 days to grow, meaning it produces 33% growth each day. So you'd need 2 per drecko.
How do you feed glossy Drecko Oxygen Not Included?
Feeding and Shearing Dreckos in Oxygen Not Included Dreckos need to be submerged in hydrogen, but their diet is composed of mealwood, which will not grow in hydrogen. The simple solution is to fill a chamber with hydrogen at the top and a layer of oxygen at the bottom.
How many Dreckos are there in a farm?
General View. The farm consists of 2 rooms: The left one is 96 cells square, with oxygen at the bottom, a Mealwood grower and a Grooming and Shearing Station built, and hydrogen at the top. It is designed to hold 8 Drecko.

AndMoreBlossoms in order to feed them all they require is a little bit of oxygen or carbon dioxide. And they require 20 kilograms of water per cycle.
How much is a Mealwood dupe?
four plantsThus each Duplicant requires about 5 Mealwood plants. Consuming as liceloaf has a bonus of (1,700/1,200) ≈ 1.4. 200 kcal * 1.4 = 280 kcal/cycle/plant. Dupes need around 1,000 kcal/cycle, so you need around four plants per dupe.
What plants do squid need to grow?
They need access to growing Pincha Pepper, Balm Lily or Mealwood plant to satisfy their dietary requirements and produce Phosphorite. They only produce Reed Fiber or Plastic when in a Hydrogen atmosphere.
How often do dreckos reproduce?
Drecko are finicky critters to domesticate in a fully productive way, due to their mixed environment preferences. They live 150 cycles, but reproduce fairly slowly . They need access to growing Pincha Pepper, Balm Lily or Mealwood plant to satisfy their dietary requirements and produce Phosphorite. They only produce Reed Fiber or Plastic when in a Hydrogen atmosphere. When tame they regenerate their "wool" at a rate that allows harvest once roughly every 8 cycles for Drecko or 3 cycles for Glossy Drecko, provided they are completely immersed in hydrogen for the entire duration.
What is the bottom layer of a balm lily?
The bottom layer is filled with Chlorine to grow Balm Lily, as it does not require maintenance once planted. The middle layer is filled with Oxygen for Duplicants' convenience to work with the Grooming Station and Shearing Station. The top layer is filled with Hydrogen for Dreckos to grow Reed Fiber scales.
How much plastic does a drecko produce?
A half dozen Glossy Drecko will produce roughly 1 ton of Plastic every 10 cycles with such a setup, along with several tons of Phosphorite and multiple eggs. This can be a sustainable alternative in obtaining plastic in the mid to late game.
What temperature do dreckos spawn?
Regular Dreckos have a default bodily temperature of 62.5°C at birth, similar to the temperature of their native Biome. Glossy Dreckos, however, spawn at 42.5°C. They slowly cool to the environmental temperature with time.
How long can you shave a drecko before dying?
Their life will be prolonged if they are not groomed due to the metabolism penalty. They will reach an age of 37 cycles before dying, in which you can shave Drecko's 4 times and the glossy variant 11 times.
What biome is a drecko?
3%/cycle + 14%/cycle when in incubator. Drecko is a critter found in the Caustic Biome. They are a renewable source of Phosphorite, which makes them important for Wheezeworts maintenance and Fertilizer production. When domesticated they produce Reed Fiber, Plastic, and Drecko Eggs.
Automatics, conveyors
The left Auto-Sweeper and Loader take everything but the dirt out of the circuit. The dirt is needed for the growth of the flour Mealwood and is fed through the upper conveyor.
Gases
The Atmo sensor opens the doors when the pressure drops below 1500g, through a Filter Gate (10 seconds), to prevent false triggering from accidental gases.
An improved version
One row of doors is not able to compensate for large pressure fluctuations around the circuit, so it makes sense to place 2...4 rows of doors, with sensors adjusted each to its own level. This can be, for example, settings below 400, 800, 1600 g.
An improved version
Added 4 incubators to this chart on top (that many can be covered by 1 Auto-sweeper). All plastic Drecko eggs are transferred there.
How many mealwood plants do dreckos need?
Originally posted by The Tempted Man: Useless to be honest. Each drecko needs 3 or 4 mealwood plants to not starve. Originally posted by sgargoyle: as long as they eat once every 10 cycles they wont starve to death. if your breeding them for anything other then population and phosforite they dont need to be happy.
Why are lilies useless?
Lilies are particularly useless, because what you can make with them you barely need at all and can make more than enough of from the wild. Oxygen Not Included. A Screenshot of Oxygen Not Included. By: SKull. Oxygen Not Included.
Can you do a hydrogen ranch with lilies?
Anyway, about the lilies, you can do an all hydrogen ranch if you grow nuts instead of lilies, which greatly boosts productivity, at least for the regular dreckos. So after much experimentation with drecko ranching that's what I've decided on.
