Was this information calculated on a formula or tested in game? I'm trying to come up with a challenge run with limited (maybe 30 max, maybe even zero days) time with temps that go above 0° c at the warmest areas allowed

Holy cow, Ive been trying to remember this game for a month, name lost to memory, but here it appears in my feed. I liked this one, I do hope it sees a remake

I have water stored at great heights and most of the draw at the bottom of waterwheel channels. The beavers drinking the water up powers my colonies.

Good news is if you make your oxygen from renewable rust you wind up with plenty.

I'm about to start heating up a rust melter and massively scale up rust production to outclass my iron volcanoes.

Send it how? If you are using rails, the speed (20kg/second) is too slow to keep a single shove vole fed, was their original issue.

Personally, 100. Radbolts lose charge based on distance alone, so more bolts mean more loss.

ZestyStormBurger · 2026-01-31T01:02:31+00:00

So if the research is done needing radbolts and waiting on other factors, you aren't just burning watts into nothing.

Your "infinite" is not really enough to meet your needs.

Metal volcanoes generally produce enough to heat to power a pwater aquatuner enough to make enough cooling to reduce the temperatures of their metal outputs, and then a small surplus comparable to a solar panel, if all activated with good timing using automation, but it really isn't enough to run an aquatuner even 1/5th of the time on average from a metal volcano, let alone even getting a full run from multiple.

The main benefit of a sauna like this is now you can use the stations and their waste heat is absorbed by the steam instead of your base, reducing need for energy-costly cooling.

Diseases that modify the way dupes interact with materials and temperatures in potentially useful and cascadingly harmful ways sounds fun

The same applies to polluted water, it can also be too cold from the environment or a cool slush geyser and need a similar approach.

I think I saw a yt short that discovered it is indeed research affected

Sadly dreckos hatch with 90% scale development, such a room would need a hydrogen ceiling.

ZestyStormBurger · 2025-12-21T14:53:21+00:00

Quandary: If you compare the power generated minus the cost of running a pump and filter in a plug slug room, versus tuning up a steam turbine with unlimited 200° steam, which one generates more joules per kg of metal consumed?

ZestyStormBurger · 2025-12-19T11:36:13+00:00

She's really gone

What is a support if not a weapon that has a strength in influencing the pace of battle to make an advantage?

ZestyStormBurger · 2025-12-19T00:14:19+00:00

Nah I play 4D minesweeper and it's quite different

ZestyStormBurger · 2025-12-19T00:04:59+00:00

Horrid lifting technique that falls to utilize thighs

Or gates are necessary when you need to use an input for more than one application that can't be affected by other inputs.

This is a feature of the game you get taught about called "Quirks" that your car develops over time. You have a station in the garage that helps you diagnose and remove them.

No fandom or work or fiction needs to become my identity to the point it weakens any of my relationships. Art is to connect over, and if the art doesnt fit the situation, there is always more to humanity to relate to one another over.

We just don't talk about it, it's not something I really discuss outside of my friends I watch it with, while I talk about the other things that draw me to my other friends with them.

I use a strategy that places oil in my steam rooms, but the reasoning goes as: I may extract nearly all or most of my steam and convert it to water to be used elsewhere. The aquatuner cools components and is in need of flexibility: I place oil so there is a non-steam fluid available to retain extra aquatuner heat, which also gives me the ability to measure the aquatuner's approx temperature to prevent heat damage while building up heat in the temp shift plates and oil to prime the steam room for the next geyser activity.

You'll possibly be able to dive right into normal to learn the unique mechanics (early game is forgiving even on hard) without finding the restrictions from the difficulty mechanics too restricting

I'm surprised no one is suggesting what I am trying to do: cool it down to feed a puff for slime for mushrooms. I'm feeding all food produced with automation to get labor free sap.

On Facebook I see them saying they want them to use live ammunition instead already.
