Stable
A Stable is a room that is required for ranching. It is created by placing a Ranching Building inside an enclosed room with a size of 12-96 tiles.
A stable's maximum critter capacity depends on each critter's individual tile space requirement.

If the critter population requirement is greater than the room size, all critters in the room will get the Crowded status.
Eggs left in the room count towards the population requirement, but will give the Cramped status instead.
Morbs do not count towards the number of max critters.
Shove Voles will count towards the stable population, however, they do not care about any amount of overcrowding themselves.
Cuddle Pips consider each egg type to only require 4 tiles of space.
Aquatic critters use the number of connected, non-navigable liquid cells for determining space requirements, including those inside Mesh Tiles and Pneumatic Doors. They do not need to be inside a Stable.
Tips
- Critters might spread too much in maximum size stable, slowing down grooming, feeding and resource production. It can be mitigated with non-room breaking door.
- It is inadvisable to keep open doors in ranches, even if critters can't run away, they still get stuck in open doorframes and will get debuffs as if entombed. It also interferes with buildings ability to count critters inside the room.
- Fish Feeder needed for taming Pacu doesn't require to be in a stable to function. This allows ranching them in any room.
History
- U57-700386: Increased the number of Shine Bugs that can fit in a room before they experience Cramped and/or Crowded effects.
