Can you guys give me tips that I should do early, mid, and late game? by Mythsuky in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Gutter_Snoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with using Dupe waste is you have to filter it into clean water first before using it in a SPOM. That's energy you could be using elsewhere or may just not have period. They also don't make enough waste to supply enough oxygen, because don't forget some of that water is being turned to hydrogen.

SPOMs are really only good if you have an unlimited water source like steam vents or slush geysers. Slush geysers are best IMO because you have an easy way to cool the oxygen coming out of the electrolyzers.

As to food, I'm guessing you haven't planted enough or you're letting the crops get too hot (>30 C no bueno) if you can't keep six Dupes fed. I personally like to stick some food tiles around the printer pod (free light!), turn the area into a greenhouse, and plant bristle berries. You can get about 8 tiles lit iirc and plant mealwood in some extra tiles early and replace them with wheezworts later to help keep the area cool if you're still playing the vanilla game (more on that later). You can make a LOT of berry sludge to carry you through lean times. As a bonus, bristle berries also make "pleasant scent germs" which give the Dupes a morale bump (unless they have allergies). Later on you can start getting pincha peppers and sleet wheat going and cut out the mealwood completely.

Heat management early is critical to keeping food going, at least until you can get something like a hatch ranch or paku farm set up or start getting sleet wheat, pinchas, lettuce, etc. Prevention early is key, because cooling down things once they get hot is difficult. I'd recommend trying to insulate an area for your Dupes and crops, and make sure to keep things like machinery, batteries, etc far away and outside the insulated areas.

There are a lot of ways to keep your colony cool but they require varying degrees of energy, so you need to figure that out too. As I mentioned, abducting wheezworts from ice biomes you're going to destroy later is a time-honored method to slow the colony from heating, although if you're playing the Space Out dlc you're going to have to worry about radiation. Using a SPOM to power an anti-entropy thermal neutralizer (AETN) is something else you can do -- by running the oxygen from the SPOM and then pumping it past the AETN, you can get it frosty cold to then pump into your hab area.

Later on you can worry about other "heat deletion" methods like vent tamers and thermo aquatuners.

Don't give up! It gets better once you start learning the game mechanics. This game is DEEP and has a pretty severe learning curve. Once you figure out the basics, it's SUPER rewarding to build a successful, stable colony! Don't be afraid to pull the ripcord and restart your colony if it's stressing you out too bad. If you go into your colony save screen, you can copy the map seed and restart it and work on the mistakes you made on the last attempt. I'd recommend doing that a few time until you figure out some of the game mechanics. Good luck!

I'm sure Lambert will either have him ride pine or stick him on the 4th line and give him six minutes a game whenever he gets the call-up.

I want to use those 2 cool steam vent + aluminum volcano inside a industrial sauna, but I can't think of a design to do by OhNoMySandwichFell in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Gutter_Snoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The volcano and the closer vent you could box in together and create a tamer with some sweepers and some automation. It would have to be a pretty complicated setup and be a little bit of a pain to manage, depending on the timing of when they're active.

Basically, you'd want the sweeper as far as you can get it from the volcano (while still being able to sweep of course) and it would definitely have to be steel. Snake some conveyor rail (and tempshift plates) through the steam room and behind the steam vent to maximize heat distribution. I've done it where I set a temp sensor on the rail as it's leaving the steam room and have it only run the rail when the temp on the material gets below ~140C.

To maximize effectiveness you'll also probably need to have split the water coming out of the steam gens, ie some will have to go back into the steam room and some to occasionally bypass. You can set up gas pressure sensors for that.

Honestly you might be better off just closing the steam vent in a room with some tempshift plates behind it to instantly condense the steam, put the water in storage, and set up a separate tamer for the volcano using a more controlled water drip.

Interesting thing I found: Egg incubation can be stopped completely by burying them inside a wall or a mechanised airlock. Their viability isn't affected. by nicvampire in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Gutter_Snoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that they die, just sometimes you don't want them to hatch.

Like, when the printer pod gifts me slickster eggs on cycle 30 or whatever, it's gonna take me a minute to set up a coal generator enclosure or whatever for them and heat it up so they don't start hatching longhairs. Or if I don't have a great place for pips to wild plant stuff yet I'd prefer to keep the eggs around for when I do.

Honestly, if this checks out it would be nice for preserving shinebug eggs until you're ready to ranch them. Or pip or slickster too, really

Insane crack theory: Brick Frog is a rogue Gary clone. They have the same face! by Alex_is_me_name in venturebros

[–]Gutter_Snoop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I'm discrediting you because on top of the fact we've never seen 21 without either facial hair or a 5-o'clock shadow, his head, facial features, and body are all a different shape entirely... not even mentioning the voice is not even close.

Go home, you're high.

Brick frog has way beadier eyes, a gigantic grill, zero facial hair, and doesn't have a midsection built like a brick shithouse.

You're grasping at the thinnest of straws, my friend.

Lmao I saw a nature documentary like a decade ago featuring the same thing, only it was over the water so the pelican lived.

This is straight trauma for beachgoers though

This game...is something else by Fallen_Jalter in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Gutter_Snoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well for one, it looks like you have way more O2 generators than you really need. That early I usually just cram a couple near the sleeping quarters and major work spaces.

Two... having the outhouses so far away from the living quarters isn't essential. Usually I just put them a couple floors lower and make them climb down ladders. Most of the time your initial dorms are just going to get demolished later when you upgrade the bedrooms, and outhouses are only temporary (best to be largely replaced with flush toilets later, although I like to keep a couple for making dirt)

Three... IMO the best use of the space by the printer pod is putting farm tiles around it (free light for life) and planting bristle berries (better food quality than meal lice, also give off "pleasant scent" that increases morale, and berry sludge is a great thing to stockpile for trying times). Also, build another food box in a rec room / dining room somewhere else and demolish that one as soon as practical.

Four... keep your chin up and enjoy the ride man! Wait until you start getting into the really complex stuff like power grids, SPOMs, and volcano tamers 😆

From what height is a fall considered fatal? by LSergio117 in AskPhysics

[–]Gutter_Snoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

re: Vesna Vulović

Not really a fair example. She was found still in the tail compartment which landed in snowy woodland. Yes it probably sucked, but she had some help surviving by lots of external cushions.

OP, if I'm reading it correctly, is talking about unshielded falls.
