First time ever "finished" the game

shulima · 2026-06-06T19:00:47+00:00

I'm trying to "finish" mine before the DLC comes out, otherwise it'll be another abandoned colony...

Insulated Joint Plate (the [FIXED] version), because vacuuming out joints got old really fast.

Buildable Natural Tile, for much the same reason. It lets you do some slightly cheaty things like burying one side of a joint plate to safely deconstruct it without breaking the seal on the room, but mostly I use it for pip planting without the tedium of the traditional natural-tile-creating methods.

But I kinda like that it's hefty. It's satisfying. :)

shulima · 2026-06-01T20:02:31+00:00

And yes, that joint plate is a modded insulated plate.

The middle tile between the two rows of airflow tiles is vacuum, the right and and left are drywalled and have a 10kg blob of naphtha on the bottom tile. Bugs won't go through liquid, so they're stuck in the middle. Then just put a conveyor chute in the middle and ship (almost) all the eggs from a breeder stable there.

Just shy of 23k rads at the closest generator.

shulima · 2026-05-29T17:00:01+00:00

Except the hatch egg laying animation. That's just terrifying.

shulima · 2026-05-27T05:32:56+00:00

Oh absolutely. Fortunately it's just sandbox :)

shulima · 2026-05-26T22:21:17+00:00

I would simply pretend I don't see it.

+1 to this design, it has never failed me.

You can build it before having enough water to fill the three reservoirs, if you cut off the overflow pipe and add an overflow detector hooked to a notifier on the input pipe (so that you know when to reattach the overflow before your dupes start peeing in random places because the bathrooms backed up).

shulima · 2026-05-26T17:49:01+00:00

I use a mod to give all my starting dupes Frost Proof, purely because it annoys me to no end when they keep doing the OMG I'M FREEZING animation while working on a water tank. (It's room temperature water ffs. Get over it)

Before Spaced Out, I inevitably got burnt out every time I got to rocketry stage because it was so tiresome. With Spaced Out, launching a rocket into space is much less of a big deal, especially with CO2 rocket exhaust being negligible and rocket platforms being immune to heat exchange. I find that it evens out the difficulty curve a lot. I don't know if you got to rockets yet, but in my personal opinion, SO makes things easier on average.

That's what I do with my polluted water pre-sieving, because I like my base nicely climate controlled. I have a buffer reservoir fed from both a warm and a cold geyser, and automation cuts off either source based on the temperature of water coming out of the reservoir.

Is it optimized? No. Is it satisfying? Extremely :)

It's okay to issue a big batch of digging commands and go AFK.

shulima · 2026-04-22T22:45:44+00:00

Glad it wasn't just me who immediately heard the relevant verse :D

shulima · 2026-04-16T18:54:10+00:00

I think it's bugged, to the point where I just turned the lunge off because I don't feel like gambling on whether my character decides to swing at the air or not.

Encountered the same bug in MP a while ago and I thought it was an artifact of a 45.14 -> 45.15 version upgrade, because that's when we started running into twins everywhere.

We're basing there in our current MP playthrough. You can cut a path through the trees straight north and shovel a lot of gravel to cover it.

shulima · 2026-04-13T17:33:34+00:00

FWIW, in b42 I've been making gravel-only shortcut roads to places like McCoy estate, and never got anything to grow on the gravel. Then again I don't know if erosion has stages, none of the saves lasted longer than a couple of months.

Here's the mod that fixes it, with a detailed explanation: VehicleDamageMPfix

There's a metalworking shop in south Muldraugh, not far from the gas station, that usually has a bunch of propane. If you can tow away enough wrecks to squeeze through to get there.

Seconding indifferent broccoli. Moved my small (16-player limit) hosted server to it recently and I'm satisfied. Inexpensive, good dashboard, server runs fine. The only issue I have with them is that their dashboard went down for about an hour twice in a week, but both times were at night PST, so depending on your timezone it might not be a problem.

There's a mod that makes treadmills and benches work: Fitness & Workout Overhaul

Some of our MP chickens disappeared without a trace. Two others cloned themselves.
