The Source option indicates where the Drone will gather the resources it is set to collect from.
Note: If a Drone is programmed to collect from Silos, Silos will not be an available option in Destination.
Almost done, just a few more steps. In each corral you should have between 12 and 14 largos for optimal performance. I havent tested with non largos so Im not sure how many you should have in each corral if you arent doing largos. (Also recommend purchasing every upgrade for the corral except for the solar shield) Each garden should be fully upgraded, not including the extra upgrades you can unlock from Ogden and Mochi (I spelled those names right, right?) Though, if you have it, the miracle mix upgrade couldnt hurt, but its not required.
One fully upgraded garden should produce enough food for one corral with between 12 and 14 Largos, with enough extra to slowly fill up the auto feeder (provided it is set to medium feed rate)
In my ranch, I always ranch Lagos. Which means, as long as one of the composing slimes likes veggies, it doesnt matter what the second slime is.
Now depending on how you place your gardens/corrals, you can make one of the two drones jobs easier, but not both. (Not unless all the plots are right next to each other) Generally speaking, having gardens next to corrals will make FarmBots job easier, and having your corrals next to each other to make MoneyBots job easier. The first option is probably a better one because this reduces the chance of a plort contamination between corrals. (This is less of a threat if youre not ranching Lagos)
Now, with 4 corrals you need to choose 8 types of slimes to ranch if youre doing Largos. Just 4 if youre not. The first three slimes are not much of a choice; youll need one corral to have a rad slime, one to have a rock slime, and one to have a mosaic slime. The other slime in the largo is up to you, as long as you have those three each with their own corral. The fourth largo doesnt matter, as long as it likes veggies. (Recomend crystal slime largo)
Overview
Ever wonder how auto-feeders work? How much do they give? How often? How many slimes should I put in an automated corral? You must be one of those ranchers lookin’ for e-fish-n-sea (Efficiency – this is a bad pun) in their slimey endeavors.
