Nightinggale Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 53 minutes ago, JohnFrancis said: Never upgrade past basic power wire it's a waste, don't use transformers they leech power and just use more power generators for every separate grid. Experience tells me this isn't as bad as you make it out to be. You can build multiple power grids, each with manual generators and batteries from cycle 1, making it a viable early expansion strategy. What you indicate should be done would be to not expand much until you reached a certain tech level and resource production ability. It's two different ways of playing, both viable.

Abt9 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 You don't need outhouses, let alone toilets. Just rush for the mesh tiles and build all of your tiles with those mesh tiles so poops can go through it into the basement! In early game, expand horizontally as far as you could. Ladders are bad for both decor and move speed. Especially dupes are slower at early game, so you'd rather go horizontal than vertical. Firepoles are just an option for decoration. Why would you want those when fire hazard isn't a thing in this game? You need to get those pills from apocathery asap, especially make as many allergy pills as possible. Use all the available seeds. If you keep those harmful floral scents out of your base, Allergies isn't really a disadvantage. It isn't hard to keep the scents out, so you need not worry! Use chlorine vent to supply the ore scrubber. Hydrogen vent gives free energy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compactors are insulated now. But hopefully the regolith will still get used for deodorizers and maybe some dropped on the floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you reach space, make sure to open up to the rest of the base to let the sunlight and fresh air in. Don't let people discourage you. Mushbars is an excellent food source for the long term. Let the sunlight and fresh air in LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure the bins share some heat i send some rego by mistake in a qol mk 3 base to a green zone in my base and it heated a lot not to super dangerous levels at lleast. Put lights everywhere theyre energy efficient and necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallichydra Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 never use bristle blossom as a food source, they emit floral scents germs, which can be very dangerous. the same is true for buddy buds. algae terrariums is the best source of oxygen, as they produce oxygen AND remove carbon dioxide. do not make a refrigirator, instead make a 6x6 room (use insulated tiles) and fill it with flower pots (and a single ration box). put wheezeworts in the flower pots. now you have giant refrigirator that do not use power.

goatt Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Morb is free oxygen source, get as many as you can, and place them in different locations around base evenly to assure sufficient O2 supply everywhere. 2. Having more than 3 dupes will make you lose very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrakuz Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Mush Fries are a great early game food source, Farming just isn't worth the time investing into since it takes up way too much Duplicant time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current patch, iron and gold are both +50C The tool tips could be wrong, but everything is 75C with a modifier. Copper and iron have no bonus, gold is +50C, and steel is +200C. I have not confirmed in actual operation though. Over heat temp Copper and iron = 75C ; Gold = 125C; Steel = 275C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that could be another hint for the new players. Don't worry about refined and unrefined metal construction materials choices, they are all the same in use.

Yunru Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 On the contrary, refine all your metal, as you'll want a nice stockpile, and refined is a better building material. ... It sucks that that's bad advice, given how much sense it makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightinggale Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Don't put art next to beds. The dupes won't look at them anyway because all they do there is to sleep. Put it in hallways instead and dupes will catch a glimpse of it each time they pass, meaning they get to look at art many times during each work shift.

CaRat Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Let your duplicates make messes on the floor it's free oxygen lock ur duplicates in space If stressed the light is nice slimelung is healthy get as much as possible polluted oxygen is the same as normal oxygen let geysers have access to ur base they always help dont give duplicates cots their needy and dont need it get duplicates with destructive trait they will help if your duplicates are 100% stressed lock them in a room for 20 days minimum make sure it's your power room too.

greggbert Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Set all newly built coal generators to 100, they are most efficient when hey are always full of coal. Every few cycles, pump some water through your oil refinery to keep it clean. Store all your bleach stone in the open, it needs to breathe. Keep lots of hydrogen at the roof of your base, it will prevent oxygen from escaping. Liquid Chlorine is the best coolant for the metal refinery.
