## Gassy Moo

Moos are extraterrestrial critters that feed on Gas Grass and excrete Natural Gas.

### Incubation Time

Does not lay eggs

**Gassy Moo** is a non-aggressive critter that excrete Natural Gas, and can be milked for Brackene. Gassy Moos do not appear on the asteroid, and have to be brought from Organic Mass by a rocket equipped with Biological Cargo Bays. They can be domesticated, however they will not produce any eggs, instead, taming one only serves to heighten its appetite and allow the player to look at its condition.

 Gassy Moos are found within their own dedicated Planetoid, far away from the starting position, alongside Gas Grass and much Liquid Chlorine. They can be moved to any Planetoid via Spacefarer Modules.

## Behavior

Not much is known about the Gassy Moo due to its alien origin and nature. They are capable of flight and can survive in any atmosphere, or even lack thereof.

They do not technically reproduce, however allowing a Gassy Moo to feed on Gas Grass will cause the Moo to gain the "Welcoming Moo'd" buff, which will increase both "Accu-moo-lation" at a rate of 6.2% per cycle, as well as increasing "Brackene Supply" at a rate of 25% per cycle.

When a Gassy Moo reaches 100% Accu-Moo-Lation and find themselves with a view into space, they will call out for another, untamed Gassy Moo to join them on the asteroid via Gassy Mooteor, effectively reproducing at a rate of once every 16.129 cycles. If a Gassy Moo is not under line of sight to space, then they will receive the "Moo-ted" Debuff, which only serves as a signifier to the player that the Moo cannot reproduce in those conditions, and does not provide additional debuffs.

When a Gassy Moo reaches 100% Brackene Supply, they become capable of being milked at the Milking Station. This will produce 200kg of Brackene, meaning one Moo, will produce roughly 50kg of Brackene every cycle.

Moos eat Gas Grass directly from the farm tiles, much like Dreckos. A single Moo can eat 2 Gas Grass plants at constant growth. 11 Moos can sustain two Natural Gas Generators running at all times.

Gassy Moo is a peaceful critter and does not fight back when attacked by Duplicants.

Gassy Moo will be attracted by Airborne Critter Trap, and the use of such is necessary for sustained ranching, due to their unique method of reproduction.

## Farming economy

* Sustaining the stable population requires the stable to have at least 2 tiles within view of space for the Gassy Moos to call for others, Liquid Chlorine, Dirt, and possibly more significant amounts of power in order to produce artificial light for the Gas Grass.
* Cooling Chlorine down to a liquid state can be energy intensive, as Chlorine only liquifies at -34.6°C. One may retrieve Chlorine from a Chlorine Vent, alternatively one may retrieve Solidified Chlorine from Chlorine Planets, or from Radioactive Gas or Chlorine Clouds in Spaced Out, the latter of which already being liquefied.
* Gas Grass requires 10,000 lux to grow, which can be attained via sunlight, an array of Ceiling Lights directly above the grass, or use of the Sun Lamp. Use of sunlight to grow Gas Grass will result in down-periods during the night, as 0 lux will halt the Gas Grass from growing, and will also compete with Solar Panels.
	+ Alternatively, natural sunlight can be supplemented with a Sun Lamp controlled with a Light Sensor to allow Gas Grass to grow at all times while minimizing the power consumption.

### Farm construction

Natural Gas absorbs the most light out of the elements that are gases at the required temperatures, followed by Chlorine, Carbon Dioxide and Polluted Oxygen. Gases absorb more light at higher pressures. Luckily Oxygen absorbs no light. Therefore it is preferable to keep the plot with Gas Grass pressurized with pure oxygen, which will also push Natural Gas downside, where it can be collected.
