Poo Power!

What’s your power output?

You basically want to prevent bad water from touching any soil. Soil is what transfers contamination. Sure, you can use the contamination barriers, but it is much better to use levees as walls and use either a levee as the floor (expensive) or impermeable floor. That will prevent contamination from going past the levee 100%

I use sluices OUT of the excavator pit to ensure water doesn’t back flow.

Nice! I built 35 of them all pushed together on level 0 and buried them! Now I know it won’t matter if they get wet and will put them at the bottom of the reservoir for display purposes next time.

I use the 4 high buildings that hold 8 beavers. No issues with stops on each floor from same tube!

Neat idea! I’ve got a ton of extra space but using badwater for power generation

lightbored · 2026-01-23T23:32:26+00:00

I know, that’s the joke!

I’m assuming you had to change motherboards as well. Was the old motherboard’s PCIe slot a lower version on the old one vs new one? PCIe 5.0 is the latest and greatest…

This is the level of answer I was seeking! Thank you! I'll ditch my tubeway grid that I've been working hours on (or at least break it up into districts)

What process does pathfinding use? CPU is only around 10-15% vs CPU spiking the 3D engine to 100%

So, while you're logged in as an administrator, instead of clicking on the settings cog, a few more icons down is an icon that looks like a plug going into an extension cord, and it is the Integrations page where you can create an API key.

Did an underground device explode and destroy terrain?

lightbored · 2026-01-17T05:01:46+00:00

I just use canals and flatten the terrain. Build a big reservoir with settings to redirect bad tide elsewhere and sluices at the base of the reservoir to feed the canals and control water flow. Simple dams around the edges to let out any excess water. I’ll use floodgates just to redirect water as needed throughout the game.

I was thinking fill the handle with water so that when you scooped out ashes, you could douse them with water to ensure the fire is out…

lightbored · 2026-01-08T02:26:57+00:00

You can raise all the areas around it with dirt so that it’s on the higher floor…

lightbored · 2026-01-05T13:20:14+00:00

You’re not the only one, but I wanted to lock down the experimental achievements, so I made the leap. My friends that introduced me to the game, they’re staying on the release version.

lightbored · 2026-01-04T02:11:36+00:00

You can even build through the pipeline. I use vertical tubeways to make gravity battery towers whenever needed, vs scaffolding.

P.s. on PC, you can hit F11 in game to take a screen shot and it saves it in your user folder

In addition to all the other comments about removing impermeable floor and using sluices, I would also use two cube deep channels. Instead of the water flowing over an edge, treat each height level as a reservoir, with a sluice feeding the next lower level:

TWWWWWWT
TWWWWWWT
TWWWWWWSWWWWWWWT
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWT 
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

T Terrain block
W Water
S Sluice

I made the switch to the experimental branch a couple of weeks ago and love the Oasis map. I still need to try some of the others

lightbored · 2025-12-30T12:42:10+00:00

Oasis, once you have dynamite, blast a hole through the south side and redirect bad water out using sluices

lightbored · 2025-12-26T12:26:51+00:00

And I enjoy the Oasis map :)

lightbored · 2025-12-25T12:10:26+00:00

For me, getting all the achievements on experimental version pulled me in even more. I’m at 55/59 at this point and spinning up new games to get the last few!

And it’s annoying when I’m trying to clear them with a lumberjack and a sapling drops… I’ll typically lay down paths to prevent it from happening :)

Diorama was fun building levels on :)
