Dupe trainers

[Gurgel]

After seeing the idea here, I did my own strength-trainer via one dupe mopping up and the others sweeping the bottles. Requires 3 pumps and a reasonable sized reservoir to work long enough before you need to restart it. The hydro-sensor is set to 140kg. This can quite likely be optimized.

What other dupe-trainers do you use? Obviously, hamster-wheels for athletics and cooking you just rotate around if you want it trained in more dupes, but what else?

I did not realise strength could be trained.  Useful to know.

This looks like it should be a soul crushing task for the dupes to carry out.

They do not seem to mind too much, except for their disgusted expression

I thought hamster-wheels only train tinkering. Is it confirmed that they also train athletics?

Let´s call my post a confirmation.

 

My own training for new dupes (in a long term base) consists of the following:

1. I select the "research job tree" (to increase the learning skill)

2. I have a access controlled room with a hamster wheel, which will be the only task my dupe will perform

(I wait till my dupes reach at least a athletic skill of 20; If I got time I wait till they hit 25 athletic and 25 tinkering skill)

2.b. If I go for a longer training my dupes will start the "supply job tree"

3. Here is the point I let my dupes start their strength training

(But I prefer polluted water, so I am able to produce some oxygen/clay while training my dupes)

 

 

PS: There are ways to build a training room for digging

(Ranching, farming and cooking will reach max level after enough time anyways, but that´s no "real training")

i constantly get level ups in atheletics while they are on the wheels..

The one way I know for that involves meteor-Regolith and dupes forbidden to build. If you have something else, I would love to see it.

I wonder just how widespread this is?

TBH I don't micro them that much, I just get them Tenured then Exosuit. But pretty much the same thing.

There are a couple design ideas I know (Shovel vole farm, solidifying melted stuff or just some meteor interaction), but the trick behind it is always the same:

 

Schedule a building order, which will be entombed, and only give dupes access if they can´t build

Makes sense. Thanks.
