Collecting Resources

You've almost made it to the end of the wiki, congratulations! Fortunately, this last step doesn't need its own mini lesson in genetics to explain. 😅

The final step in producing recources with chickens is to craft an Excitation Chamber.

The Excitation Chamber is what activates these recessive genes and allows resources to be harvested from your chicken. Each recessive allele will play a part in how fast a resource is generated: the fewer there are, the faster it will go. For the standard Excitation Chamber, this means that while a BBCCDDFFSSWW feather chicken will give one feather every 2 seconds, a bbccddffssww Netherite chicken will take a full 20 seconds per ingot. This also affects chickens of the same type. Each heterozygous gene a chicken has will add 2 seconds to the overall generation time. Therefore, while a bbccDDFSSWW coal chicken will generate 1 coal every 8 seconds, a bbccDDFfSsWW coal chicken will take 12 seconds, and a bbccDdFfSsWw coal chicken will take 16 seconds. While having various heterozygous genes in a chicken may be advantageous in some breeding situations, they do nothing but hinder the recource generation process, so be sure to selectively breed your resource chickens to avoid heterozygous genes. Below is a table of the range of processing times for each tier of chicken in both the standard and the Boosted Excitation Chambers:

.StandardBoosted (x2)
Tier 02-141-7
Tier 15-152-7
Tier 28-164-8
Tier 311-175-8
Tier 414-187-9
Tier 517-198-9
Tier 62010

The base processing time can be configured in the config file, it may different on your server.

See the sequence table for which resources are in each tier.

You now know everything there is to know about breeding chickens​

Good luck!
