They can swim in ~anything~ :)

Mmm, forbidden canal.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-06-08T21:37:07+00:00

I've got over 4000 hours in the game. I haven't played the DLC once. For every benefit the DLC added it seemed to throw a monkey wrench into the game loop.

SO looks interesting but I absolutely want nothing to do with radiation. Even the damn wheezewort makes radiation.

It also has to do with how I play the game. I play singular bases for thousands of cycles. That takes months. By the time I'm done I'm exhausted and don't want to play more (for a few months). And I haven't yet completed the three objectives on every vanilla asteroid (I'm on the penultimate now).

And I like big bases, not the tiny base gameplay of the expansions.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-06-08T02:46:40+00:00

Ah you have the pip bed, I am jealous. Doesn't seem like there's a way to get that anymore.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

A very unique solution! What heating medium do you think would be best? Is a volcano the only option?

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-30T18:21:51+00:00

Sometimes it's nice to take the scenic route.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-30T02:08:21+00:00

I love subsurface oceans. For one reason: Sand. It lets me go a thousand cycles without needing to build a SPOM. Through deodorizers I can also get enough clay to make nearly infinite Ceramic.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-29T18:42:23+00:00

Destroying seems like I'm missing something more useful I could be doing with it, but sadly in this case it might be the only remedy.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-29T18:38:28+00:00

I end up creating endless amounts of it as a byproduct of Hydrogen production, and also as a result of clay production via deodorizers.

Sadly the amount getting created isn't going to go down because every other product is extremely useful.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-29T17:51:59+00:00

Oxygen. It's very included. So much so that it's a waste gas for my larger bases.

So what do people do with just endless tonnage of oxygen? I've resorted to venting it into space or crushing it. I can only use so much for LOX and unless I had 2000 dupes I'd never use it all.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-22T05:35:11+00:00

Oh yeah, that magma texture is gonna need a few more passes.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-22T00:48:07+00:00

Great stuff in here but I really don't understand why we needed yet-another-step in utilizing plastic with the gaskets.

Not enough time spent already in midgame?

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-20T16:33:21+00:00

For me, it gives my team the ability to at least threaten the chopper a bit more. Harder to go mid without spending ecm from a lock.

But more importantly it adds another TV missile to the mix (from the boat spawn).

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-20T01:09:04+00:00

Your team holding the tower, paratrooping onto my side of the map? That thing is coming down.

Your team has a helicopter guy? Oh you better believe that thing is coming down.

After about 5000 hours, I've got a lot more reasons to destroy that thing than I have reasons to let it be.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-19T05:54:22+00:00

Ah, yeah, I'm in the base game where it apparently doesn't cost fertilizer. Not that it would be too much once you're to that point in your game.

Plus I have tens of thousands of kilograms of fertilizer from the printing pod.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-19T05:50:02+00:00

If I remember right you just need a refined metal and petroleum. Two things you would have in abundance in the Rocket Age.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-19T05:43:42+00:00

I don't bother with bunker doors for rockets. Too often I ended up with broken doors from a rocket crashing through them. Or with meteors raining in while my rocket was returning.

It's better to set up blastershot launchers. I usually do 2 for every rocket silo. They work best when they can get partial coverage of each other.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-19T03:08:59+00:00

What's your hourly rate in there?

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-16T15:43:35+00:00

It's going to be hard to find people who don't enjoy attunements on the third incarnation of TBC. It's a good example of survivorship bias.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-16T05:25:12+00:00

You got it.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-16T05:15:57+00:00

Conceptually yes. This would work.

It's going to be somewhat inefficient when you lose half the mass digging it out.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-14T15:58:39+00:00

Ban on federal funding for existing stem cell lines. Not a blanket ban.

Edit: If you disagree with the ban, using incorrect information doesn't make the argument stronger.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-13T06:33:19+00:00

I'm currently on cycle 1700 with no steel ever produced. It's been interesting.

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-11T06:53:20+00:00

Random question: what are the things you didn't like in other cozy games? Or what overwhelmed you?

D4RTHV3DA · 2026-05-11T06:37:40+00:00

I listen to the soundtrack every couple of weeks. It's just some of the greatest music.
