how many MREs are needid for it -- 72.18.98.130 06:42, 26 May 2008 (PDT)

how many MRES are needid to turn all the space oats this puts out into rats?

New Calculations

My base with 500 workers says it consumes 300 rations per hour.

that's a 5/3 ratio

Hydro makes 1 space oats every 10 seconds.
MRE makes 1 rations every 12 seconds.
That's 5 a minute or 300 an hour.

I conclude that 1 Hydro and 1 MRE can support 500 workers.
Should the information on the wiki be updated to reflect this information?


[Edit] Ok I found an Error in my ways. 1 MRE requires 2 space oats to make 1 rations so it would wait for 20 seconds from the Hydro. 1 MRE can support 500 workers, 1 Hydro cannot.

I go with..
