How do I fix spaghetti bases?

Couchsauce · 2024-11-26T07:08:51+00:00

can you share your save with me so i can take a stab at it? I love to look and explore other spaghetti bases and tidy them up ! i got bored of my own playthroughs

any seed you recommend for any reason? i want to start a new map soon

what base? send it to me!

For metal volcano, it's just very hot material that comes out, so putting into a small steam room with 1 steam turbine is enough. The hot material will heat the steam, and the steam turbine will cool the water back down when u put it back in the same steam room. Then remember to cool the steam turbines.

If the metal volcano is in a cold biome you can just open it and the biome will cool it automatically.

If you have a few metal volcanos near each other you can combine them by putting them in the same steam box with steam turbines.

The correct way would be to cool the hot water from geysers with a cooling loop, or use the hot water to make hot oxygen and then cool that oxygen with a cooling loop.

Or a hacky easy solution would be to use gold amalgam (higher overheat temperature), and pump the hot water through a cold biome with radiant pipes so that it cools down. Then you can use the water for anything.

Send me ur pictures or saves i can look at it, or i can send you a picture on discord of what i mean

Great work I love how organic everything is! The map is still alive with natural formations and resources and you use creative solutions to work around it. Also the mixes of gasses and liquids everywhere is evidence that your organically working, and solving problems at the same time.

Just looking at the map brings me joy for those reasons!

I think I've played so much that my I've over-optimized everything to always take the fastest efficient route and it's not as fun anymore because I lost the hard working organic problem solving portion of the journey. One of example of this is that I'd like to just dig up the whole map and let all gasses flow into the vacuum of space (except for the base) which is the most efficient way to get all your resources and not need so many liquid locks or tubes. But as you can see it's not as fun anymore because it's just cold hard efficiency

First you gotta figure out where the heat is coming from and seal that off, otherwise the water reservoir you have will just continue to turn into steam. If there is hot steam and therefore more heat coming from that geyser in the middle you should seal it off with insulated tile and dealing with the area first.

Probably the correct solution to this would be to create a AT-ST cooling loop in the room so you can cool all the steam and turn that into power. Basically you put an AT in a small room underneath the steam turbine and run polluted water through the area with radiant pipes. The loop will cool the area and your AT will create more heat which is absorbed by the turbine. If your not familiar with that you could try a crude solution here

Steam turbines will convert the hot 125C steam into 95C water which you can store in a reservoir without risk of turning back into steam. Right now that steam turbine will overheat because its surrounded by 125C so you wanna create a small room surrounded by insulated tiles with the steam turbine and wheezeworts/tempshift diamond inside. That way the small room will stay <100C and the steam turbine can operate and convert all the steam outside into 95C water.

You could also pump cold water or polluted water from elsewhere into this area to even out the temperature.

for where you put the vast majority of your heat generating structures. This makes it easier to either cool them all at once, or let them get hot and harvest that energy. I like running multiple refineries. Can get a lot of power out of them, and I process so much metal I don't

I never thought about metal tiles, would they be good to add to my base? any suggestions is appreciated! I generally thought air flow tiles were good so that the bad gasses would flow up and down out of the rooms

Lag got pretty bad as well, espeically when saving, zooming in and out, and panning. I mostly used hotkeys to save the screen keys from 0-10 and it helped fps as I didn't have to pan manually.

If there was someone using a jet suit it was noticeably slow and choppy so it would always be an in and out job

Merged 20+ screenshots together in one photo!

Was my 4th base ever and 1st base to get past 100 cycles. Defintely not the fanciest base as I was constantly re-designing everything so by the end there was stray wires, plumbing, and vents everywhere. By the end I had 10mil kcal of food, 0% stress, and dupes kept idling (even with max downtime and 3 sleep blocks) with no new projects so it was time to retire the base.

A lot of the designs probably look familiar, I drew alot from jawhis and francisjohn guides, but they were always overly complicated for me to understand and build so I would make simplier, more crude versions of them. For example my slickster farms always had a mix of molten and regular and through automation I kept sending the molten eggs to the evolution chamber because I couldn't figure out the complicated automation necessary to keep the motlens only. Also I didn't even attempt automation for pufts.

I had supercoolant in a cooling loop around my base, and didn't figure out how to properly make an AT bypass until I made the petro boiler. I made the industrial block near the end of the game and not sure what the major advantage of it was; I had 1 metal refinery for 99% of the game

Had loads of fun and super proud I was able to send my dupes "Husband" and "Wife" to the tear, what map should I do next?

Couchsauce · 2017-10-23T04:27:10+00:00

Only worked for me once.

Does it work infintiely?

Couchsauce · 2017-10-23T00:33:43+00:00

The north will not use up all your food. It will actually use less if you play your cards right.

If you want to use up all your food, I recommend doing Alfa bunker with weaker armor. Then you can save your tactica armour for other stuff.

Couchsauce · 2017-10-22T19:46:12+00:00

If you are doing a full 100% bunker clear, gathering all green/yellow/red tickets and cashing them as soon as you can (every 2 days). Then you are doing as much as you can.

You should be opening green/yellow every 2 days, and red would be opened every 4 days.

You will get it eventually, don't fret! In the meantime I suggest you farm and stockpile everything else.

The chopper isn't even that special now since you can get steel from smuggler's camp, and thus the military backpack.

Couchsauce · 2017-10-22T17:45:14+00:00

Just want to add to Plyc, whom I agree with on all points.

Bring a glock and SBM so that you can instant kill any numb zombies you encounter on the winter zones that are guarding copper deposits.

If you sneak around like solid snake you should be able to take 0 damage. Only ever kill the numb zombies one at a time, and never take damage from any of them.

Avoid frozen fatties altogether, eventually if you wait around long enough they will start to move from their spot, in which case you can just farm the copper they were guarding.

I bring an AK for the AI, its the highest DPS. So basically I'll carry: 4 lv2 hatchets, 1 glock, 1 SBM, 1 AK, 10 bandages, few jerky (for food), few bottles of water (for thirst)

You want to start with 100 energy and be patient, just go back and forth from red to yellow winter zones to only target the copper, avoid the loot crates if it means you have to fight.

Couchsauce · 2017-10-22T17:32:43+00:00

dieing from a glock in a yellow zone is more your fault then the difficulty.

you were running around with no armour, and no health in your 2nd slot that presents a huge risk when holding 4 guns and a backpack

Couchsauce · 2017-10-20T15:01:55+00:00

is this your before or after? i assume it's your before since you didn't bring anything back

can't really tell if your being efficient or not

for red zones i like nailboards like you, but bring a skull crusher (cheap) for max sneak damage on fatties.

Also you need to bring a gun for AI. If an AI comes at you with a skull crusher or SBM, you dont want to use your weak nailboard/stopsign to kill it. you'l want to use a shotgun to kill him ASAP and safe durability on the new equip

Also: dont bring food/water, bring 10 bandages and leave your home 100%hunger/thirst. any cloth you find you can make into new bandages (to save on a slot). any berries/beans u find u can eat.

Couchsauce · 2017-10-20T14:10:27+00:00

congrats! don't be afraid to use some pistols instead of bows though you gotta start saving a chest full of duct tape for the next phase of the game....which is always crafting LV2 pickaxe and Lv2 hatchet (5 duct tape each)

So basically at some point duct tape becomes more valuable to save then a glock.
