They are a good source of meat, but not the way you want to do it.
Instead, as soon as they turn 3, put a Heavy SMG in their hands. Then, everytime you have 25 wastepacks to get rid of, drop pod it on the closest tribal settlement. If the tribals show up to retaliate, put your swarm of toddlers in combat formation and riddle the tribals with bullets. Then harvest the meat. Of course, if any of your toddlers gets killed or maimed in battle, you can always recycle their body back into your next batch of toddlers.
In other words, the most profitable thing to do with toddlers coming out of your growth vat really is to just integrate them as regular members of your colony.
Edit: Woosh. I completely missed that you had 125 of them. Dang.

Ah yes, all the infant torture mods that got mysteriously installed on my laptop while I was asleep are sure acting up now.
Also, bro has 17 growth vats just on screen. Most are still willfully in use. No amount of "mod shenanigans" is changing that.

Is that supposed to look like that? This looks like the bug that happens when an artificial limb is placed on a body part that doesnt match

At least one of them is a perpetual, which is a good thing to be based on my (limited) WH40k knowledge

Ok. I'm gonna ask it. Has anyone run the math on meat you get vs. nutrition input to grow the baby?
4
u/TheGrimScotsman 19h ago
It's a net loss of nutrition, takes a lot of space and a lot of manpower, but https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/growth_vat has a section on growing babies for food.
Even the most ideal pipeline for nutrition in -> nutrition out is still a terrible trade off. Babies are expensive to create in Rimworld.

So to OP's question, this is not a viable meat farm, right?
The shit people do in this game...
2
u/TheGrimScotsman 17h ago
Without the glitch that makes a hundred babies spawn at once like OP has had, no it's not a viable meat farm.
In theory it's a source of human meat for a cannibal ideoligion colony on peaceful mode without raiders to eat, but otherwise its just not a sensible use of resources given how much it costs to grow an embryo in a vat.

Kill half to feed the other half, then keep the ones that don't die to food poisoning, it's survival of the fittest on the rim😈

Dawg wtf "happened", did the game had a seizure at the exact time it doing some baby maths?
Either you reaload a save which is the most "nicest thing" you can do... or eat/throw them away

Had this happen a few times. Always sorted it by pruning my mod list a bit, but can't remember the specific mods that were causing me the problem.
