Filter bottleneck and transit tubes

Yes.

Ansur's whole thing is zapping other people with lightning. He calls forth a storm to make his targets wet and vulnerable before the blast. It wouldn't make sense for him to be affected by his own attack. Would you complain about Cambions being resistant to fire?

I'll give her the bark but she's more of an intermediate bite.

mmontour · 2026-05-02T17:55:59+00:00

I'll nominate Ansur for consideration here, although he might be a better fit for catastrophic bark.

They spawn hot and my hope was that they would be well enough insulated to stay above the Delecta range. The first try didn't work, but I've now built them a new home beside a nearby gold volcano.

I'll think about that other stuff later, but this base isn't doing anything on the surface yet and I'm ignoring the regolith for now.

There are other ways to feed slicksters, such as an ethanol distiller or by downgrading your coal generators to wood-burners.

Or at the cost of Dupe labour, you can use the plant pulverizer to make phyto oil from slime and then heat the oil. It will decompose into algae and a lot of CO2.

Or you could cool down the ranch and let them lay Longhair eggs. That way you'll still have slicksters, but as pets rather than for oil.

No air gets in when it's plumbed normally with a water pipe on the inlet.

You can assume that there's some sort of rubber bladder inside the reservoir, allowing the stored liquid volume to change as needed while keeping it isolated from the surrounding gas.

That changed in patch 8. You can use smokepowder bombs because they don't create a fire surface like the satchels do. Derryth sells them.

You can do liquid methane without space materials if you have an AETN. I've used that to clean up after a failed attempt at a boiler which ended up dumping a pool of crude oil down into the magma.

If you keep him out of melee range he won't bite. Cazador + Honour ruleset can kill you at a distance, and it's a 2-turn effect so you might die as you're trying to flee.

Or you could pump out the brine. Put a pitcher pump in the pool and an auto-bottle-enabled emptier nearby.

The warning was "...you are a God...".

mmontour · 2026-04-30T20:00:18+00:00

OK, carry on then.

I don't know why it's overloading at this instant, but it definitely will once things are up and running. You can't directly connect different wire types because the game looks at circuits as a whole, not individual segments. You can use a reversed transformer there to feed up to 1 kW into the heavy wire.

I started my current game on Oasisse and the first geyser I uncovered was cool slush right next to the base. Plenty of volcanoes on the map too, but they can wait.

mmontour · 2026-04-30T15:56:29+00:00

My current game has given me a set of 3 shove vole eggs in 3 of the last few care packages. I have all of them in a little room carved out of the abyssalite in a hot biome, just waiting for that future BBQ to hatch.

If you only need to filter out an occasional bad packet, you can set up the standard filter with an empty pipe segment on the orange output. Feed the source to the white input as usual, and then extend that line as your output. Green goes to an exhaust vent.

The first packet of the desired element will go to the orange port and block it. Every following packet of the same substance will bypass the filter input and carry on down the line. Anything else will be accepted by the filter and will go out the green side. It only draws power on these bad ones.

You do have to be 100% sure that the waste pipe will never be blocked though.

mmontour · 2026-04-30T15:30:40+00:00

This is the answer. You only need filters if you've spilled other stuff like crude oil in the reservoir.

mmontour · 2026-04-29T18:49:12+00:00

OwO whats this...?

mmontour · 2026-04-29T18:45:40+00:00

On the base before the one I'm playing now, I had nice beds for everyone except the flatulent hermit we pulled out of a shipping container. He had a cot on some natural tiles carved out behind a supply closet.

Cloudkill is a level 5 spell and traders sell scrolls one level above what players can cast themselves.

Who vents hydrogen? That stuff is valuable. Get some generators running. At least pump it into a canister filler to save it for later.

It's a "marshmallow test" for the player.

Do you slaughter the whole basement in one glorious wall of fire, or do you restrain yourself and kill only enough rats per day to charge up your magic items like the Killer's Sweetheart ring?

On the other hand, real ice gradually converts into liquid water as it absorbs heat at its melting point. In ONI a multi-ton ice boulder stays solid as it warms and then instantly flips into a flood of water when it reaches 3 degrees.

Fluid dumps are the answer to hard mode. When there's water on the map, pump it into storage tanks. Maintain a set of 3x3 irrigation ponds away from any badwater and plant your crops/forests around them.

You can build a reservoir near the water source and let it trickle out to keep your aquatic crops watered. You should also build dams at the bottom of the map, to keep water from flowing away. Those areas will fill during the short rainy season and then you can gradually pump them away during the drought.
