Chthonicone Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 https://toolsnotincluded.net/map-tools/map-browser/map/121939 I used this map to do this, but I'm sure there are better maps. I was also trying to work towards super sustainable so I didn't use coal or natural gas that was nearby. I didn't have plastic, so I held off on the hot steam geyser nearby, as I wanted to tap that for power once plastic was a thing. It was all hamster wheels. The worst part is I didn't notice till too late that one of my starting dupes was anemic. I also accidentally picked an anemic dupe as my 4th as well. *shudders* At first, it was more difficult than I realized. It was a rime map, so starting crops for the most part were too cold to grow naturally, and no pips to replant. I barely got any sustenance from them. Instead I dug around and got all the muck roots, and every single hexafruit I could. This kept me going long enough to get meat on the menu. Due to lack of food, I didn't pick up a 4th dupe till around 40 cycles in. The lack of labor made it slow going, and I gathered as much water into one spot as I could before it all froze. I didn't even have the labor to run on more than one treadmill at once for a long time, so no heating until later. As soon as I could, I got a stables set up, and started crushing copper to make incubators, and timers. I set my timers so that there were 4 sections to a day, and an incubator would only be on during 6 slices. At this point I started grabbing more dupes and expanding my hamster power. The base was a mess with polluted O2 everywhere, but it was cold, so at least it was germ free. As I got more eggs, I expanded my incubators till eventually I hit 16 of them and 4 stables full of 8 hatches each. This provided enough food for about 16 dupes. I stopped growing population at 10 around week 60. By week 60 I had 3 stables full, and 12 incubators, and thought this would be enough, but meat wasn't being produced fast enough yet to eat constantly. In a flash of insight, I added another stables and incubators till the above numbers, but I also noticed I was falling behind on where I should be with 10 dupes. I had ~30 MCal eaten by day 65. This was when I just started grabbing any mouth to feed till I hit 15 dupes. Slowly but surely I started catching back up. By cycle 95, I had finished the challenge. My base is a mess, but now at least I can focus on collecting the pieces and using the labor to improve things. I've got 60 MCals saved up, which is 4 days worth of food, and I just got 3 drecko eggs, so I can start getting cloth, and later, plastic for suits and advanced machines. I had to skip 3 slickster eggs though. I had no way to keep them warm at the time, and I'm still not close to super sustainable at only 10% of the require power used. Still, I'm relieved that I did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAJ3D Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Congrats! My current asteroid is my first all achievement map (in progress) and I chose Rime as well. I got super lucky and in the first 100 days got 8 pacus for printing three times! (no save-scumming honest!). I also went ranching hard from the get-go, only supplementing with muckroot and hexafruit in the beginning and a couple times when the meat was running low. I only went with 10 dupes through it because I calculated I could make it with that amount and with my meat generation. The calculations were dead on as I got it on cycle 100. I almost lost Locavore for myself because I was going to do my typical lone Reed plant in my bathroom loop but thankfully caught myself before it got planted. For super sustainable, I had to ignore the 4! natural gas vents around me and searched and got lucky with a hydrogen vent. That lasted me through most of the achievement, till it went dormant before I got it so I had to do the last little bit with hamster wheels...

BLACKBERREST3 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 You may not want to hear this, but in my current 0 effort play through, I spammed the printing pod for vole eggs after cycle 24 (when they unlock). They give food at a frequency of 11000kcal/cycle if you keep printing them. Just make sure to have 8 dupes by cycle 50 eating bbq if you haven't started carnivore by then. I always keep a stress eater on hand just in case. I did get carnivore the legit way the first time by ranching hatches. Soooooo, how are you handling the after math of carnivore 15 dupes are quite the handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chthonicone Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Have either of you guys noticed that the achievement for having a toilet for every dupe is now permanently locked? Why is that? It says "This colony cannot meet these requirements." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone else can post theirs. This seems like a good passive project to work on. I'll start saving copies just before I complete an achievement. If everyone donates, we could have a cheat sheet in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
