Burried Geysers

[MJCB]

I suggest remove the obsidian from the buried geysers, it hinders too much taming geysers without focusing the digging skills, adding that some geysers the exosuit skill is needed, the total time becames much longer.

After the obsydian change uncovering geysers got extra annoying. Imo obsydian around them should be changed to igneous.

I made some calculations and found this:

The minimium time it takes to get 3 skill points to unlock the superduperhard digging is 25 cicles in normal schedule (18 work + 1 shower times), with the dupe constantly digging.

To get the 14777 exp a total of 11875s is needed.

The total attribute gain was +4, and 6 moral is needed.

The dupe (Harold) started with 0 excavation, 0 science and likes tidying and wearing suits.

The digging site was 3 tiles to the right of the printing pod, a bugged sand tile, so the travel time was small.

The maximum time is 42 cicles (dupe idle), maybe the times can be substantialy changed with the science attribute, but I didn't calculated it.

So even with some serious micro management it still takes at last 25 cicles to get +3 SP, at hard diging (aprox cicle 7) you can already dig burried geysers, but you will have to wait maybe 42 cicles to truly tame the geyser.

The fumaroles can be utilized, but the geysers and volcanoes don't, look in the image that the emission tile (2 right + 2 up fron the left neutronium) of the geysers and volcanoes can be dug, but it will be stopped by the 4 obsidian tiles, overpressuring it.
