Worst map ever? Seed - 1000997546


Recommended Posts

Love playing for 250 cycles only to find the following:

 

2 CO2 vents

2 Hot polluted O2 Vents

1 cold steam vent - 887 g/s

1 cold steam vent - 4,600 g/s, 244 out of 620 sec

1 chlorine vent

1 Natural Gas vent - 415 g/s

1 leaky oil fissure

1 minor volcano

2 Oil reservoir.

 

Do you know about this website where people upload good map seeds?  There are 5 seeds with 4 slush geysers.

Kinda funny how there probably isn't enough water on your map to even use the oil reservoirs lol.

I like having polluted O2 or infected polluted O2 vents though. You can make some massive puft ranches with those.
 

Hehe

Yeah I know the site.  I try not to look, takes the fun out of it for me.  But a map that bad, just sucks because you don't have enough materials to really build a long term base.  With 20 dups I would run out of water eventually, even without using the oil reservoirs.

Oh well, starting over is fun.

I had a map recently that I played for about 100 cycles before deciding to check geysers.  It had both a CO2 geyser and vent, and while it did have 1 slush geyser, it had 0 NG geysers.  I assume one had been overwritten by a POI or something, because I think you're always supposed to have one.  I started over and deleted the seed unfortunately, I wish I had written it down.

When starting a map, I give it a quick once-over in debug mode, then reload if I like it or reroll if I don't.  I'm not picky, but if you don't have at least one slush or polluted water geyser you're in for a rough time, and without at least one metal volcano you're going to spend most of your mid-game waiting for refineries. 

Since it usually takes a savescum or three and since I have the memory of a goldfish, by the time I get to exploring with my dupes I've typically forgotten exactly what was where, only that there's enough of something somewhere out there, and that's mystery enough for me.  This is too long of a game to realize you have a poor map at cycle 200.

I decided to keep my horrible map : so far, I have 2 cool steam vents, 1 volcano, 1 copper volcano, 1 iron volcano, 2 chlorine, 1 natgas, 1 Co2, 1 hydrogen... Squeaky puft farm!!!!!!(At leats I never had metal tiles in my base so early in any of my games... nor steal...)

Oil reservoirs are actually water positive if you skip the refinery and burn the crude oil to petroleum.  You get even more water if you build a natural gas condenser, but that is harder.

The map I got before my current one I found a couple of geysers on, decided to check the rest then promptly restarted :p

The geysers were

3x CO2 vents, 2x minor volcano's and 1 chlorine for bad ones *edit* oh and those two minor volcano's were both a little too close to my base for comfort, which I guess could have been handy down the track with vacuum gapped insulated walls but still.
Finally the err...bronze? lining... 1 gold volcano, which is pretty handy.. in an ice biome :(
Also 3xcool steam vents, so an extra one right?!...One of which was venting into space with another in the oil biome. ... :(
I did get 2x nat gas vents at least so that was something
It was kind of hilarious finding them towards the end of that. "Oh hey a cool steam vent that's at least not terrible...wait...is that open space O_o"

My current games seem to hate the ice biome, because while the one I stuck with does have much better geysers (I found a polluted water vent next to my base so I was sold right at that point).  My two ice biome geysers were a volcano and minor volcano gave me a laugh at least :P.

Damnit now I want to start a new base... Just 'finished' my old one and by finished I mean got fed up with dealing with my spaghetti mess of systems combined with the insane lag I'd created and couldn't figure out how to mitigate.... I also wasn't sure how to deal with a very odd problem...absolutely hideous amounts of oxygen I'd created while not paying attention.  1/4 of the map had about 15-20KG of oxygen in it, I guess I could have shut down all spoms and resigned myself to petrol rockets (I'd just gotten a hydrogen rocket sent off, then realised that 800kg of hydrogen was a lot more than I thought it was...)
