Few additions and suggestions for content


Recommended Posts

Here is some additions I believe would make the game stronger and more fun...

  1. Small liquid tanks/containers - water, oil, slime and other liquids stored in a 2x3 format used as a storage closer to where liquid is needed. input via liquid pipe. Manual output by duplicants or manually pumped into further piping by duplicant. Usefull to bring liquids to a remote areas and keep a small amount ready even if power runs out for a short time.

  2. Manual on/off valves on liquid and gas pipes just like manual on/off switches on wires.
  3. Critter traps - 2x2 cage that traps hatches, morbs and other critters. Then release the critter to a location selected by player. Also would love a mechanic to see Pufts and Roaches multiply if fed well to create farms / kennels :)
  4. Electrical ceiling fans to cool surrounding temperature.
  5. Compressor to force gas / liquid through pipes even if the vents are in an overpressured area. At a risc for bursting pipes?
  6. Electrical directional 2x1 fans to push gas around.
  7. A machine that combines chlorine gas with water to create something usefull. Washing powder for clothes or footbaths?
  8. A machine that creates Co2 gas from Carbon dioxide and uses it for more stuff - perhaps injecting gold gas into things?
  9. Gas lamps and gas heaters. Maybe even a gas cooking station. All running on natural gas.
  10. More anti-stress mechanics / machines. Somewhere to get warm and dry socks to remove soggy feet?
  11. Conveyor belts or slippery / diagonal tiles to gather critter materials in a smaller area.
  12. Furthermore I believe research should be divided into more and smaller areas with fewer items in each and in the end make the research stations usefull - perhaps producing skill-up boosters for dupes. +1 skills or temporary booster pills?

Hope a few usefull things got in here.

PS the agricultural upgrade is hard - My dupes were stressed out 100% round 8+ and food is a mean challenge...
PPS Why would you build farm tiles when you research Hydroponics at the same time?

I build farm tile for the wheat plant that grow in cold area. Don't know what kind of irrigation it need and if i need water to be cold, so this way i'm sure i will not destroy my ice biome, and anyway, they give enough seeds to replant them even with "ok" harvest, so i don't bother with hydroponics.

The obvious end-game use for research stations is synthesizing materials or otherwise converting one object into another. For example; if we're to find buried artifacts and other such sundries, it'd make sense to crack those particular treasures open as a Research project.

Other material conversions could include generating Slime through some form of absurd chemistry using Dirt or Fertilizer, sifting through Dirt or biome-specific minerals for a chance to find seeds, or maybe turning Coal into diamonds... not that we need diamonds.

How the heck? What have you been putting them through? Did you flood the base and not mop up? I would consider it a challenge to hit 100% stress so early. The only thing I can think of is sending them straight in to a slime bio with no air, then queuing up a 20 tile dig order at the bottom of polluted water meaning they are in there for cycles.

I find if I keep them in breathable air, keep them dry, keep the floors swept and keep ugly buildings out the main paths you can keep them sub 20% stress. I have a single massage table at 25% stress in case someone does get soaked or goes out in to the wild for long periods.

Mess tables and beds of course.

PS: I like a lot of your suggestions. Especially the animal stuff like trapping and breeding. Need a renewable source of meat and a reliable way to move critters.
