Ep 25 : Face to face with space restrictions, Extra hard : Oxygen not included



I think that went pretty well all things considered. We only had a couple of big problems and all it took was a bit of time and micromanagement to fix it.

  1. if you set your checkpoints to vacancy only, they shouldn't drop their lead suits at the normal atmo suit checkpoints as they won't be allowed to pass through. I use that all the time so they don't mix up the jet suits and atmo suits.

  2. If you're going to the magma planet, I found a neat trick recently – Steel Rovers don't melt inside of magma, so they can be deposited on the surface with some obsidian and they can make chimneys out of obsidian tiles for the dupes to go down in. They can build them from inside the magma to displace it and then remove the middle to add a ladder. Can be useful in a pinch.

    As for dirty water overflow, Nathan recently did something amusing with it which was pumping it straight into a Thimble Reed hydroponic tile to soak up all the excess from his bathrooms. Neat little trick if you don't have a use for that polluted water.

  3. I noticed recently that Fish gave dupes a resistence to rads. Probably not neccessary with the rad pills in stock but I though it was a cool feature. Also seeing so many rad stations is kinda trippy too. The amount of oxygen needed is awesome

  4. Some of these achieves are horrible. I got screwed by the map generation on one playthrough. There was not all plant types available and also there was only 9 terestrial artifacts spawned. You of course only find all this out after a long time playing. Mine the gap is so tedious too.

  5. 4:37 – If you offset their schedules, a single toilet / sink / shower can support up to 24 dupes with no problems (on a small asteroid; on larger ones it can take them ages to walk to it). Two toilets and two sinks (preferably in different locations, so dupes are always close to one), to deal with any sudden schedule changes you might need to do. Three in the same spot isn't very efficient (though I guess it simplifies plumbing).

    It kind of sucks you can't do the same with dining tables, though. I can sort of understand them not wanting to share beds, but who has a problem using the same table? The incentive to build big dining halls should come from the mood bonus, not from dupes' incomprehensible obsession with having a table "reserved" for them at all times.

  6. 6:51 – In real life, most bacteria (and pretty much all viruses) can survive just fine when frozen. They stop being able to reproduce, but they'll resume as soon as temperature rises to a "comfortable" level again. Freezing only kills things that form internal ice crystals (by rupturing their organs, membranes, etc.), and most germs don't.
