How often do you "flush out" the bugs?
Ideally every two days
Does it work by the insects breaking the collapsed stone and squashing their hives? Won't that squash the insect jelly too. Also how did you get them in there and how do you stop them getting out?
Fortunately, the collapsed rock is the only thing the insects don’t try to mine. I guess the devs made it that way so they wouldn’t destroy themselves. And to get the insects to spawn right where you want, you have to do a little maneuver. See the freezers under the cage? It’s all one single room, and both the freezers and the wooden structures are there so I can control the cage’s temperature to my liking.
The trick is to freeze the whole cage to at least –17 °C and build a small wooden room right in the center with a campfire inside. That creates the perfect conditions for a hive to appear in that inner room. Eventually the insects will destroy everything else, leaving just the hive perfectly centered.
Getting the jelly after that is simple: send in a few colonists to clear out the insects, then use robots to steal all the jelly and tidy up a bit. Wait for them to repopulate (so the nests don’t deteriorate), and repeat.
If the population gets out of hand, there are various safeguards and methods to keep it under control.
Handled properly, you can harvest about 1 k of jelly every two days. It took me eight in-game years to finish the farm, and I ran it at maximum output for about two years. I haven’t had any major problems—just a few small incidents.
Thanks for the info, looks like a really nice colony
