(Newbie) Compact Designs: Bedroom, Toilet, Med Bay & Mess Hall!


Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

First off, i'm relatively new to this game with perhaps 100 hours under my belt and i absolutely love this game. In addition, this forum has been amazing with you guys contributing so much smart ideas which i kinda greatly benefited from in my own gameplay such as hatch info, SPOM and temperature control (Materials to use)

Therefore, i decided to create an account to post my very own newbie friendly compact design which you can use.

All of these rooms will you morale bonus! That's a great hall, A bathroom, Med Bay and the 8 dupe bedroom.

Thanks!
Fan of Natural Gas (Farts)

I like compact base too, in my gameplay I only pressurize living area, even more compact once I try only pressurize bedroom, but when I see dupes eating and taking shower in atmo suit, it is not fun, and it was buggy back then (dupes keep washing hand).

Just one sink for so many toilets. What if they all decide to go there at the same time?

Ive set my germs count to disinfect at 3000 in the germ overlay so the dupes kinda hose down the base if you will, to get rid of germs. Even if they miss that sink in the toilet, there will be another sink in the kitchen area for which they have to use.

With this setup, I do not have a food poisoning problem. Infact, none of them has any when i check their germ tab. Neither does my food in the fridge as well.

In addition to this, I'm playing on hard difficulty settings which makes it fun because in such playthrough I sort of have to be on toes to make sure there isn't germs around that can kill my dupes or weaken them especially when i'm exploring into different biomes.

My schedule if it helps

It blows my mind that you are getting away without mass food poisoning with this set up. With your schedule when you have that many go to the washroom only 1 of them will get to use the sink and wash their hands.

While I agree on the comments about the washroom, you seem to have a much better grasp of the game than I did at 100 hours. :D

How are you keeping your food from spoiling?  Are those fridges plugged in, but the screenshot is a fresh load before letting it run?  You can save power if you submerge them in something other than O2/PO2.

Haha thank you.

My bad, the screenshot was taken when the game was on paused when i loaded the save. Here's a better screenie.

During the early game, I had my food stored in CO2 area and when I got my first coal generator hookedup to Smart Battery, i built a fridge to store my food.

Later on, i started working on having 2 ranches of hatches for coal production and i have a coal/hydrogen/petroleum generator setup for power. O2 is being pumped in from the ice biome, so my oxygen temp is pretty ideal as well.

I'm growing bristle berries, and the incubators at the top are for meat farming - i kill the hatches when they hatch Lol to cook up some BBQ.

hahahaha i know right. well it was a lot of micromanaging though at the beginning maybe more so than was needed because of my set up.

If you use a rolling schedule, you can get away with only using 1 toilette, 1 shower and 1 sink for up to ~ 24 dupes.

I did it for the decor...
