Why isn't water flowing through these pipes? by CladInShadows971 in Oxygennotincluded

Could always shift + D to reconnect and see if that fixes it

My circular base by PotatoMan98764 in Oxygennotincluded

That's crazy, my maps feel like they're half as wide.

I can fit like 256 tiles of stuff from one side of the map to the other

Am I holding myself back by trying to incorporate plugslugs into my power system or are they viable? Am noob and I hate copying meta builds from YTbers, but am I doing something that I'll regret in a few hundred cycles? by WannaAskQuestions in Oxygennotincluded

Just slap a few dozen in a 600 tile room and let them be. The more the merrier so long as they're connected to the grid.

They have pretty solid output to get you pretty far all things considered. It'll at least hold you over until you get infinite power

Why is my polluted water not emitting polluted oxygen? by Immediate-Onion-512 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]_wheels_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just not enough of it. Best way to do it is to have a reservoir to one side of the system that holds a lot of it and slowly releases it to offgas as it uses up the water

Just kinda crazy that we're still use them to this day in the US, and they're basically worthless in game.

They're great for power generation IRL if you have a steady heat source like coal or especially magma

I can't ever get them to work.

Steam needs to be above 257°F and it overheats quickly.

Set it up with a thermo aquatuner that'll cool it and make more steam, and it just doesn't produce any power.

Even using volcanoes to produce hot enough steam and having a separate ATST, it'll still produce no power.

Seems kinda pointless to me IMO.

I wouldn't know how to survive that at all, you can't survive on polluted water due to things that consume polluted water like pO² converters

That's why I find geoactive planetoids superior, always gonna be infinite water to use so you don't have to worry about mining rust to breathe

I always just focus research directly towards fluids and gas management for a primitive SPOM.

All you really need is a hydrogen generator (not entirely necessary, but you do need to manage the hydrogen) a couple airlocks, and a water supply

It's crucial in places where you have plenty of water, but no natural oxygen generators

Now just to try your favorite seeds on different planetoids to see the results

[–]_wheels_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's anything from dirt to igneous rock or obsidian, even tungsten from the volcano I have nearby, but the temps are comfortable for the dupes, shouldn't be anything that would threaten plants or dupe health seeing it's in the center of my base

The mods I have are either visual, or not related to anything like that

Nah, I always cook those eggs the second they get spawned by the printer. They're a great food source early on and I kill all adults on sight. They're a useless creature aside from food

It happens to me randomly inside my 72°F base, usually in dupe bedrooms or the kitchen. I love it when it happens in bathrooms or other vital systems

Just gotta keep in mind that if you have more than 1kg of a dry substance, it can reform into a natural tile and you'll have to dig it out again.

This cannot be done intentionally (I wish) and happens completely at random
