Jurassic Survival Incubation
Apr 05, 2019 Jurassic Survival is a great survival game that is loved by many people in the world. The developer, Mishka Production, has come up with a new idea about dinosaurs instead of the zombies commonly seen in other survival games such as Last Day on Earth: Survival or WarZ: Law of Survival. This game will bring you a new fun.
Collector auto collects eggs, fertilized eggs, and poop from ground / behind walls within a large radius across your base.★ Incubator will incubate faster and keep all nearby fert eggs healthy.★ Silo will send collected poop into friendly compost bins in range first unless they are full, also distributes any stored thatch to them. Lastly it collects fertilizers from bins.★ Eggs n poop are auto collected from the ground into your active Collector.★ Collector preserves eggs and poop longer too. This mod increases max Poop Stack size to 20.★ Clean and Stackable. A simple mod with aims at fast performance in eggs, poop and incubating.
Detailed Description:. Collector now has ingame radial menu to choose Collect Poop only, Egg only, or Both. Collector controls all silo and incubators in range. Must be powered and active to work. Collector will not collect any eggs dropped within an active incubator's range. Unlocking it can also disable all collecting of fertilized eggs.
Collector dynamically limits collection range to not collect from enemy pets. Collector range should cover even your biggest bases, default 75 floors length in all directions, adjustable via settings. Thatch N Fertilizer Silo will work with all compost bins in range and auto distributes collected poop, stored thatch and collects fertilizer from compost bins. Incubator incubates fert eggs faster and kept healthy in a small room radius.
Prevents collector from collecting incubated eggs. (Range adjusted by setting, default 5 floors radius).
Incubated eggs display a small glow every collector interval, default 33 secs. Means the egg is being incubated.Also works with all eggs from dino mods. Craft costs: Collector- 75 metal ingot, 75 crystal, 20 electronic. Incubator- 25 metal ingot, 20 crystal, 5 electronic.
Large Compost Bin can make fertilizer much faster and in batches. Also bigger storage.
Incubator and Silo needs an active Collector in range to work. This mod stacks poop up to max 20.
Can Use Poop stacks to split into single poops for crop plants. (Splits without poisoning player, but irreversible). JoanCollectorMaxPoopStacks=15MaxAchaPoopStacks=0CollectInterval=40.0IncubateDistance=1500.0IncubateBoostMultiplier=1.5BlockAutoCompostBins=falseCollectDistance=20000.0SiloDistance=20000.0. MaxPoopStacks means maximum stacks of Poop to autocollect (default 15). Set -1 to disable Poop Collect. Each stack is up to 20 poop. MaxAchaPoopStacks is different, it controls the max stack count of Achatina Snail Poop to collect.
Default 0 or -1 means no snail poop. Recommend set between 10 to 15 stacks. CollectInterval is the time between each collection in secs (Default 40 secs, min 25, max 45). IncubateDistance controls the incubator incubation radius, 1500 is roughly five floors length. Put -1 to disable. IncubateBoostMultiplier multiplies the speed to hatch eggs faster when near incubator. (Must more than 0.0, Put 1.0 for normal ark speed).
Set BlockAutoCompostBins to 'true' if you wish to disable autofilling of compost bins with poop, because 'false' will fill all nearby compost bins regardless of MaxPoopStacks. CollectDistance controls the radius how far the collector will work. Default of 20000.0 means around 75 floors radius.
Set this higher than IncubateDistance. SiloDistance is the working range of the Tatch N Fertilizer Silo. Should be lower or equal to CollectDistance.
Novice poultry producers usually become interested in artificial incubation of their own chicks. The success of this type project depends on proper care and incubation of the hatching eggs so healthy, vigorus chicks are produced. The following topics discussed in this publication will help improve the producer's success.

Selection of Hatching Eggs
Most producers set as many eggs as their breeders produce. If incubator space is the limiting factor, it is more profitable to select the better quality eggs for incubating.
A few tips to follow when selecting hatching eggs are:
Select eggs from breeders that are (1) well developed, mature and healthy; (2) compatible with their mates and produce a high percentage of fertile eggs; (3) are not disturbed much during the mating season; (4) fed a complete breeder diet; and (5) not directly related [brother, sister, mother, father, etc.].
Avoid excessively large or small eggs. Large eggs hatch poorly and small eggs produce small chicks.
Avoid eggs with cracked or thin shells. These eggs have difficulty retaining moisture needed for proper chick development. Penetration of disease organisms increase in cracked eggs.
Do not incubate eggs that are excessively misshapen.
Keep only clean eggs for hatching. Do not wash dirty eggs or wipe eggs clean with a damp cloth. This removes the egg's protective coating and exposes it to entry of disease organisms. The washing and rubbing action also serves to force disease organisms through the pores of the shell.
Egg Care and Storage
Many times a producer carefully attends to the incubation process but disregards the care of the eggs before they are placed in the incubator. Even before incubation starts the embryo is developing and needs proper care. Hatching eggs suffer from reduced hatchability if the eggs are not cared for properly. Listed below are tips to help maintain hatching egg quality.
Collect eggs at least three times daily. When daily high temperatures exceed 85 degrees F. increase egg collection to five times daily. Collect two or three times in the morning and one or two times in the afternoon.
Slightly soiled eggs can be used for hatching purposes without causing hatching problems, but dirty eggs should not be saved. Do not wash dirty eggs.
Store eggs in a cool-humid storage area. Ideal storage conditions include a 55 degree F. temperature and 75% relative humidity. Store the eggs with the small end pointed downward.
Alter egg position periodically if not incubating within 4-6 days. Turn the eggs to a new position once daily until placing in the incubator.
Hatchability holds reasonably well up to seven days, but declines rapidly afterward. Therefore, do not store eggs more than 7 days before incubating. After 3 weeks of storage, hatchability drops to almost zero. Plan ahead and have a regular hatching schedule to avoid storage problems and reduced hatches.
Allow cool eggs to warm slowly to room temperature before placing in the incubator. Abrupt warming from 55 degrees to 100 degrees causes moisture condensation on the egg shell that leads to disease and reduced hatches.
Incubators
The size and type of incubator selected depends on the needs and future plans of each producer. Many different models are available. For continuous settings, separate incubator and hatcher units are recommended. If all eggs in the unit are at the same stage of incubation, a single unit can be used.
Locate the incubator and hatcher units indoors to protect them from major weather changes. It is essential that the room has a good ventilation system to supply plenty of fresh air. Keeping the units indoors makes it easier to maintain uniform temperature and humidity.
There are basically two types of incubators available, forced-air and still-air incubators. Forced-air incubators have fans that provide internal air circulation. The capacity of these units may be very large. The still-air incubators are usually small without fans for air circulation. Air exchange is attained by the rise and escape of warm, stale air and the entry of cooler fresh air near the base of the incubator. Recommended temperatures vary between the two incubators, so follow the manufacturer's recommendation that accompany the units.
Incubating Conditions
Poor results are most commonly produced with improper control of temperature and/or humidity. Improper control means that the temperature or humidity is too high or too low for a sufficient length of time that it interferes with the normal growth and development of the embryo. Poor results also occur from improper ventilation, egg turning and sanitation of the machines or eggs.Obtain the best hatch by keeping the temperature at 100 degrees F. throughout the entire incubation period when using a forced-air incubator. Minor fluctuations (less than ½ degree) above or below 100 degrees are tolerated, but do not let the temperatures vary more than a total of 1 degree. Prolonged periods of high or low temperatures will alter hatching success. High temperatures are especially serious. A forced-air incubator that is too warm tends to produce early hatches. One that runs consistently cooler tends to produce late hatches. In both cases the total chicks hatched will be reduced.
Maintain a still-air incubator at 102 degrees F. to compensate for the temperature layering within the incubator. Obtain the proper temperature reading by elevating the bulb of the thermometer to the same height as the top of the eggs when the eggs are laying horizontal. If the eggs are positioned in a vertical position, elevate the thermometer bulb to a point about ¼- to ½-inch below the top of the egg. The temperature is measured at the level where the embryos develop (at the top of the egg). Do not allow the thermometer's bulb to touch the eggs or incubator. Incorrect readings will result.
Check the thermometer! Is it accurate? An error of one degree for 21 days can seriously interfere with embryonic growth. Check the incubator thermometer's accuracy by placing the bulb next to the bulb of a clinical (the kind used to measure body temperature) or good laboratory thermometer. Hold both under lukewarm tap water and compare the readings. Compensate for any variation of the incubating thermometer by increasing or decreasing by the amount of variation. A thermometer with a split or gapped mercury column will not give an accurate reading, discard it.
Humidity is carefully controlled to prevent unnecessary loss of egg moisture. The relative humidity in the incubator between setting and three days prior to hatching should remain at 58-60% or 84-86 degree F., wet-bulb. When hatching, the humidity is increased to 65% relative humidity or more.
An excellent method to determine correct humidity is to candle the eggs at various stages of incubation. The normal size of the air cell after 7, 14, and 18 days of incubation for a chicken egg is shown. Necessary humidity adjustments can be made as a result of the candling inspection. The egg's weight must decrease by 12% during incubation if good hatches are expected.

Frequently there is confusion as to how the measurement of humidity is expressed. Most persons in the incubator industry refer to the level of humidity in terms of degrees F., (wet-bulb) rather than percent relative humidity. The two terms are interconvertible and actual humidity depends upon the temperature (F.) as measured with a dry-bulb thermometer. Conversion of the two humidity measurements can be made using the following table:
1Dry-bulb temperatures are shown horizontally for common incubation values.
Rarely is the humidity too high in properly ventilated still-air incubators. The water pan area should be equivalent to one-half the floor surface area or more. Increased ventilation during the last few days of incubation and hatching may necessitate the addition of another pan of water or a wet sponge. Humidity is maintained by increasing the exposed water surface area.
Ventilation is very important during the incubation process. While the embryo is developing, oxygen enters the egg through the shell and carbon dioxide escapes in the same manner. As the chicks hatch, they require an increased supply of fresh oxygen. As embryos grow, the air vent openings are gradually opened to satisfy increased embryonic oxygen demand. Care must be taken to maintain humidity during the hatching period. Unobstructed ventilation holes, both above and below the eggs, are essential for proper air exchange.
What must be done if the power goes off during incubation? A proper response depends on several factors, some of which include the temperature of the room in which the incubator is located, the number of eggs in the machine, and whether the eggs are in the early or late stage of incubation.
The two most important considerations in this situation are to (1) keep the eggs from overheating and (2) be sure they have an adequate oxygen supply. The longer the eggs incubate and the greater the number of eggs in the incubator, the greater the chance that you will experience overheating and suffocation of the embryos.
If the room in which the incubator is located is hot and stuffy, you will have to react more quickly to power outages than if the room is kept at 75 degrees and is well ventilated. The most effective guard against overheating and suffocation is to open the door of the incubator or hatcher. Whether the door is opened slightly or fully and the length of time it is left open depends on the factors mentioned earlier.
Eggs must be turned at least 4-6 times daily during the incubation period. Do not turn eggs during the last three days before hatching. The embryos are moving into hatching position and need no turning. Keep the incubator closed during hatching to maintain proper temperature and humidity. The air vents should be almost fully open during the latter stages of hatching.
The eggs are initially set in the incubator with the large end up or horizontally with the large end slightly elevated. This enables the embryo to remain oriented in a proper position for hatching. Never set eggs with the small end upward.

In a still-air incubator, where the eggs are turned by hand, it may be helpful to place an 'X' on one side of each egg and an 'O' on the other side, using a pencil. This serves as an aide to determine whether all eggs are turned. When turning, be sure your hands are free of all greasy or dusty substances. Eggs soiled with oils suffer from reduced hatchability. Take extra precautions when turning eggs during the first week of incubation. The developing embryos have delicate blood vessels that rupture easily when severely jarred or shaken, thus killing the embryo.
The following table lists incubation requirements for various species of fowl.
1 Measured at degrees F. in a forced-air incubator. For still-air incubators, add 2-3 degrees F.
2 Measured as degrees F. using a wet-bulb thermometer. Use chart to convert to relative humidity.
Sanitation
In large commercial incubators, eggs of different ages are often set and each setting transferred to a separate unit prior to hatching. Separate hatching units permit proper sanitation and disease control measures to be practiced between batches of chicks. The chicks can be hatched without disturbing the other incubating eggs.Thoroughly clean and disinfect the incubator and hatcher before each usage. Remove all egg shells, down, dust, and extra material with a broom or vacuum. Wash the unit with a warm detergent solution and rinse with a disinfectant solution. When dry, turn the units on and bring to proper temperature and humidity conditions prior to filling with eggs.
A thorough cleaning job results in a 95-99% improvement in disease control. When done properly, little or no disinfectant is needed. If a disinfectant is used, quaternary ammonia is the most commonly used disinfectant for equipment like incubators and hatching trays. 'Quats' are relatively non-irritating, non-corrosive, of low toxicity, and is reasonably effective in the presence of organic matter. Since the incubator and its components should be clean and free of organic matter before disinfectant application, quats are a good choice.
Fumigation is another tool for disease control and is something good to turn to when either the cleaning is poor, eggs are dirty, or machines are filled with eggs and it is difficult to empty and clean properly. The fumigation process can be hazardous to the producer if not conducted carefully. Contact the Poultry Extension Department at Mississippi State University or your local County Agent's office for additional information on properly fumigating incubators and hatching eggs.
