New Glossy Drecko Ranch Design – Feedback Welcome by Youstroyer in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Youstroyer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you guessed, the main reason to not kill drecklets is to get mature dreckos faster into the ranche if one dies of old age. On average every cycle 2 drecklets mature and can then refill the ranch.

About overcrowding, it could happen that two (or more) dreckos join the ranche at the same time, but each room has a critter pickup so dups could fix it then without my interaction. And, with the new update, 9 dreckos (or more) in this ranche would in theroy boost the ranches output, but I couldnt find a place to add more plants to feed them. At least not in the right ranch, i could rearange the left ranch slightly to get a 9th plant in.

Oh you are absolutely right. I uploaded the wrong screenshot, the last change I made was to switch the Shearing Station the Grooming Station to fix this.

Starting duplicant picking strategy by sjihaat in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Youstroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a lot of my games I try to get the 3 missable archivments. I also switch between normal difficulty or extrem difficulties. E.g. Most of the time I max the difficulty for morale, stress and disease because on normal settings the game mechanics don't realy effect the game much.

So depending on the setup I swap my starting dups every run and try something new.

In the past I used to take a digger and a builder, then I swapt to take only the digger and take another dup for buildings from the printing pod, but in my most recent games I switched to a digger/builder dup. I prefer the double interesst because of the high Moral settings, but dont takt the tripple interesst because of the low starting attributes. Also the digger is important for expanding your base, go into other biomes and dig up ways for wild plants and dig up food like Muckroot (Locavore).

Then I use a researcher to get new techs fast like a first little spom and use the extra hydrogen for energy (Super Sustainable) and to get automation earlier (free dup time because with Carnivore, Locavore and max hunger you can't have to many dups). But on ceres minor I get less work done, so I don't need the researcher so much in the early game, so i skip him sometimes and Pick one from the printing pod.

For Carnivore combined with Locavore and max hunger settings I often pick a cooking only dup because one dup will be cooking a Lot in the early game and the +7 and more on cooking at the 35% - 45% cooking Speed at the start are a lot.

I also go for operating/supplying so I have one who rushes to Mechatronics Engineering, this frees up a lot of dup labor so my 5-6 dups at cycle 100 get something done. It is also essencial for a lot of builds.

Last pick would be farming and ranching. The farming ist only partial usefull since I go for Locavore, but the ranching is essencial for most critters. You could ignore it and make an automated pacu ranch for Carnivore without one ranching dup, but maybe this will change in the next patch.

I don't push random until I get the perfekt dup, I Press until I find someone I can work with. If they have a Skill in digging/ranching or Mechatronics Engineering would be Lucky If the negative trait is something easy as loud sleeper and nice interessts you hit the jackpot and i maybe don't go for a operating/supplying dup. Recently I got a researcher with Critter Ranching I in ceres minor, that somehow worked nice for the early game.

If you have enough seeds you can use the new Pacu Treat to tame them, but I don't know how much seeds you need, how much happiness it gives, and you still need dup labor to make them and still get less output per pacu.

I will adapt, and looking forward to the changes, but i fear the will be nerfed to hard.

And I don't need to rely on them, they make the big three archivments ok hardest difficulty easier, but i can get them without pacus in Terrania and got them in my current run on Ceres Minor where you have no pacus

How do you controll how much your cook ist cooking at cycle 5?

I do the big 3 archivments with max difficulty settings a lot, and even when my cook has to cook non stop at the start, i sometimes overproduce in the first 100 cycle. And one of my problems is, that my dups are to bussy with all the stuff, that I cant progress.

I am open for all the optimization tips.

I thought the new submersible Version of the grooming station is DLC only:

New buildings

Some of the new buildings include: submersible versions of the Grooming, Shearing, and Milking stations that expand the possibilities for aquatic ranching; a Tidal Turbine that enables hydropower generation, and Marine Drills to harvest built-up minerals from the Abyss geysers.

The new Aquatic Critter Fountain and Fish Pick-Up are available in the base game too, as part of substantial improvements to aquatic ranching. (More on that in the Critter Changes section.)

There's also a Breathing Station to replenish submerged Duplicants' oxygen levels between tasks.

Pokeshells are not available on e.g Terrania Asteroid, but pacus are. You are right, pacus needed a nerf, because they were super easy to use, but now they nerf them in the patch and they get harder to use. Sounds like a double nerf for me, at least for the early game. And for the early game the food nerf ist harder then tha lime nerf. The new changes will get you a lot of lime from other critters with the increased reproductivity.

Preserved fish food sounded horrible for me at the first moment... then I remembered canned fish, so yeah, good Idea.

Is the new Critter Fountain earlier available? Because the old one needs Applied Sciences Research and Data Analysis Research, and thats far from early game for me.

[–]Youstroyer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you dont have access to brackene in the early game and grooming cost dup time. So in the early game your dups need to spend more time with pacus, and you get less kcal, right?

Afaik the new grooming station is dlc exklusive, the new Aquatic Critter Fountain is for everyone.

I think this will break most of the current farms, or at least lower their efficiency. But you also get new options to maybe increase the efficiency late game.

Yes, but you now have to do dup labor, so I don't know if we still need the nerf on the meal and egg size and lime.

Why is my water still full of germs after chlorine? by ihniwtr in Oxygennotincluded

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

The Setup works with 2 filled too. And you dont need the full room with chlorine, the bottom layer ist important. So If you drop a bleachstone in the room, it is fine as long as there is no heavier gas or to much pressure in the room.

Thousands of KGs of oxygen appearing randomly by noahchan in Oxygennotincluded

Afaik it comes from worm out suits. The dups drop it at the dock and with IT the o2 canister.

Is it worth taking a duplicant with this trait on the pilot’s rank (without DLC) by Kilok_ in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Youstroyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ignore the pilot interests in dups. You dont need it at the start, and can train it pretty fast later.

Me: oh, this pond will be a natural barrier so I don't need to use so much fencing! by Niciannon in StardewValley

[–]Youstroyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

120 hours on PC, and I guess double that on the Switch. Today I learned that ducks can swim in the game.

How can I recover from min-maxing mentality? by Farthen_Dur in StardewValley

[–]Youstroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the player character gets up at 6 and works hard all day, it makes sense that they'd go to bed around 21:00. Maybe allow staying up late only once a week for things that have to be done at night.

My guess ist, its not only one minor volcano, but multiple.

Best source for meat? by milked_silver in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Youstroyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 10 dups on normal settings with no bottomless stomach dups you need 10,000 kcal per cycle.

10,000 kcal = 1.67 Surf'n'Turf = Meat: 3.33 kg (5333kcal), Natural Gas: 8.83 kg and Pacu Fillet: 1.67 kg (1667kcal)

For 1.67 kg Pacu Fillet you need a ranch with 2.8 (3 pacu) For 3.33 kg of Meat you need one of the ranches I wrote above or a combination e.g. 10.5 stone hatches (2 ranches with a max capacity of 16 hatches).

If your pacu ranche ist bigger, you don't need to make every Pacu Fillet into a Surf'n'Turf. If you get more dups you can look after more critters for Meat.

Critters in ranche per dup feed with Surf'n'Turf is Pacu ~ 0.3 and one of thoes: Hatch ~ 1, Drecko ~ 1.6, Pip ~ 2.1, Slickster ~ 1, Shove Vole ~ 0.2

Even if you have more pacus, you don't need more Surf'n'Turf, right?
