📘 Complete Guide — Ovagro Vine Greenhouse + Lumb Peat Farm
(ONI Prehistoric Expansion)
A fully optimized and renewable fuel-production loop.
This guide explains how to build:

• Efficient Ovagro Vine Greenhouses
  
• A 6-Lumb Stable for massive Peat production
  
• A fully renewable Peat-powered industrial loop

Core mechanics:

• Ovagro Nodes only climb directly connected solid tiles
  
• They cannot jump gaps
  
• Water consumption is fixed (–90 kg/cycle) regardless of vine length
  
• Lumbs eat Ovagro Figs and have extremely low survival needs
  
• Each Lumb produces 200 kg/cycle Peat (300 kg with Bog Jelly)
  
• A Peat Burner consumes 60 kg/cycle and produces 480 W

• Must be placed on a Farm Tile
  
• Grows vines only along continuous solid tiles
  
• Cannot cross empty space
  
• Two Nodes cannot share the same vine tile
  
• Does not jump between separated walls

Additional rules:

• Maximum vine reach: 12 tiles
  
• Acceptable atmospheres: O₂, CO₂, PO₂
  
• Temperature range: 25–45 °C
  
• –90 kg/cycle water, regardless of vine size or extension

Implication:
To maximize fig output, create one large continuous trellis network per Node.
To be a valid greenhouse:

• Must have a door
  
• Dupes must be able to reach every Farm Tile
  
• Dupes can climb 2 tiles
  
• Add ladders only when necessary
  
• Avoid horizontal floors (they block vine paths)

Design priorities:

• Maximize solid wall surfaces
  
• Maintain dupe access
  
• Keep each trellis network continuous
  
• Separate networks when using multiple Nodes

Concentric or nested-wall structures maximize vine surface. Examples:



Notes:

• A Node takes time to grow its vines
  
• Too few Nodes = slow early production
  
• Single-Node setups scale well but require time
  
• Multi-Node setups accelerate early fig output

Key Principles:

• All # tiles form one continuous network
  
• Node sits at the bottom on a Farm Tile
  
• Vines propagate along every connected surface
  
• Dupes access everything from below
  
• Minimal ladders required

Benefits:

• Maximum vine reach
  
• Zero wasted wall tiles
  
• Low dupe pathing time
  
• Easy maintenance

A Node occupies 2 tiles when fully grown.
Nodes cannot share vine paths.
This compact setup worked reliably over 600 cycles:
Advantages:

• Zero vine overlap
  
• Both Nodes propagate efficiently
  
• Compact and reliable layout

A 96-tile Stable supports:

• 6 Lumbs (1 Lumb requires 16 tiles)
  
• Atmosphere: O₂ / CO₂ / PO₂
  
• Temperature: 20–70 °C
  
• Lifespan: 200 cycles

Peat Output:

• 200 kg/cycle with Ovagro Figs or Bristle Berries
  
• 300 kg/cycle with Bog Jelly

Feeding Requirements (verified in-game):

• Official need: 1 300 kcal/cycle
  
• One Ovagro Fig = 325 kcal

Lumbs survive with minimal food:

• 1 Fig prevents starvation
  
• They need 10 starvation cycles to die

Conclusion:
Ovagro Vines produce far more food than Lumbs need.
One Node can reliably feed multiple Lumbs. Recommendations:

• Forbid duplicants from eating figs to preserve supply
  
• Add Mimika buds to accelerate vine growth
  
• Keep stable doors open only where Mimikas should roam
  
• One feeder per ranch (1–5 kg, identical priority)
  
• Disabled Nodes inside Stables provide permanent emergency vines

You can butcher Lumbs for 12 kg carcass → Tender Brisket (32k kcal) in a Smoker.
Peat always flows toward storage with the highest priority.
So if distant containers have a higher priority than the ones near the production area, all newly produced Peat will automatically travel away from the drop zone into those higher-priority containers. Peat Burner Stats:

• Consumption: 1 kg/s = 60 kg/cycle
  
• Power: 480 W
  
• Outputs: CO₂ + Polluted Water + Heat (4.5 kDTU/s)
  
• Overheat: 75 °C

Production Ratios:

• 1 Lumb → 200 kg/cycle Peat
  
• 1 Burner → 60 kg/cycle

Therefore:

• 1 Lumb powers 3.33 Peat Burners
  
• 6-Lumb farm → 1 200 kg/cycle → 20 Peat Burners (≈ 9.6 kW)

CO₂ Handling:
Peat Burners generate CO₂.
It must be removed from the Peat Factory (CO₂ pit or pump).

• Nodes consume a fixed –90 kg/cycle
  
• Vines propagate along walls and doors
  
• Produces massive fig output
  
• Lumbs require very little food
  
• Lumbs produce 200–300 kg/cycle Peat
  
• Peat Burners convert Peat into consistent power

• Mimika plants increase vine growth speed
  
• Use Auto-Sweepers for figs and peat
  
• Maintain 25–45 °C in greenhouses
  
• Add ladders only where dupes cannot climb
  
• Stables can contain disabled Nodes for internal vines
  
• Meat via butchery is optional (Tender Brisket = 32k kcal)

This system is:

• Water-efficient
  
• Space-efficient
  
• Low-maintenance
  
• Fully renewable

It supports:

• Dual-Node double greenhouses
  
• Triple-greenhouse farms
  
• Large-scale Peat power
  
• Stable early-to-late game progression
