I am really enjoying the rancher job (and would consider it my second main job behind botany), because it is an interesting mix of botany with what you could describe best as xenobiology on the tg servers (without the completely busted stuff).
Now, while i could talk about suggestions forthe rancher job, i would like to talk about the ranch itself. Mainly, i would like to talk what the ranches need in general. I have found that some ranches on some maps lacked stuff i would like to have, while other stuff had stuff i would like, but they not necessarily need.
1. Sponges
Really, that one is my biggest gripe. Most maps have sponges in the ranch, but some do not (can't check currently, will make a list later). While a sponge does somewhat step on a janitors territory, it's important for the rancher because you can remove feed on the ground with it. A sponge gives you the ability to quickly remove feed to make the pen ready for a new breeding line (or quickly remove vomit if you went for some animal abuse... )
2. Expansion possibilities
To be honest, the donut 2 ranch us the best ranch to play on, solely because it got 4 pens with incubators and nesting boxes (and uv lamps, 2 hydroponic trays, a sponge and so on...). While it takes much space from the map and is somewhat overdimensional, the other ranches are very small. This makes it hard to expand the ranch. Most of my rounds start with me running into the supply rooms to grab tools and steel sheets to add nesting boxes and split the pens to have 4-5 instead of 2. 2 pens are very hard to work with if you want to pursue multiple breeding lines. Because of this, i would like the ranch (especially in oshan) to have some more space to work more freely with. Besides this, a QM-orderable box with incubators, eggs and nesting boxes would be lovely if your ranch gets blown to smithereens.
3. Fishing and knitting supplies
I think i will induce some rage with this one. But can we move these out of the rancher inventory into a special closet? Currently they sadly don't have much of a use, so I would see them moved somewhere to mark their status as "optional".
4. A mass driver in the vicinity
This one is purely optional. But i found the mass drivers in thr maintenance tunnels to be perfect to dispose unwanted chicken (rad storm victims, a chickensplosion due to an eager rooster, most rooster in general) or dolly. I always appreciate having one near the ranch.
Overall, i wanted to pitch these suggestions and brainstorm some other ones so we can improve the ranch layout.
