nessumo Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Anyone could explain me the trick with balloons overjoy? I've never seen them in my bases despite having many duplicates with good morales - any other overjoy I see regularly. I've found some patch notes saying something about fixing "space requirements for balloon stands", but I've tested running my base with some space in rec room, giving dupes a lot of downtime for a lot of cycles - no effects. Any idea welcome Some pics: Spacers and Farmers are exemplary Ballooners: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulwind Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hmm, I get balloons all the time. Could it be that either you can't get one (or it just doesn't animate) if you're in an atmo-suit or the balloon artist can't hand them out if he is in one?

Denisetwin Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I do not know exactly what all the tricks to it are, but I stuck an extra unit of downtime on my balloon guy, and occasionally he goes and stands by the printing pod for a short period of time, and as the dupes run by he gives them a balloon. I LOVE when they have balloons, such a great stat boost, I wish I knew more about the mechanism to get them to give them out. Like, do they have to pass the balloon artist at the printing pod or is there some kind of call out? How do I trigger that? My dupes are not in atmo suites inside the base, so maybe that's a factor that is different from your photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessumo Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 That would be very interesting mechanic (or a bug?). This overjoy already limits one-dupe-per-schedule system (I wonder if that was intended), if also atmosuits are off then probably I must rethink my designs. Or dupes.

suxkar Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 My printing pod is not accessible to dupes for logistics reasons and now that you make me think about it I haven't seen a Baloon in hundreds of cycles. For the record, I have multiple recreational rooms, so dupes go there to idle. I'd be very interested to know about this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleM999 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 My atmosuited dupes (all are from out of bed) give ballons quite freely, so that is not the reason. captured right now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I saw them once in cycle 2000 or so of a base where I had 5 dupes with the trait and massively more morale than needed. I would say I have seen them once now in >10'000 playing cycles overall or so. The trait is basically non-existent dues to its extremely low probability.

Xenotrix Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I see balloons quite often, probably because my Printing Pod is always available, and I have not built restrooms for a long time. We have no time to relax! We pee, eat and go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, a lot of work! Once I noticed that a duplicant after a meal came to the Printing Pod and pulled a balloons out of his pocket, then another duplicant ran in there and the first duplicant gave it a balloons too. Perhaps this works somehow, but this is not accurate information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psusi Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I thought I used to see balloons get shared in my soda fountain rec room and they fall back to the printing pod if there isn't another rec room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessumo Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 @Tytan They have a kind of philosophy where your life and purpose is defined by your actions, therefore what name could be better? And who am I to deny them such philosophy? Anyway, I did test run without exosuits, with recroom around printing pod, until my food run out (and Architect-A, unfortunately, may he rest in piece). Still no signs of balloons, just many relieving themselves with rainbow flickering. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junksteel Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I don't pick balloon artists anymore because of this bug. Usually I keep a single super productive cooker and all the rest are sparkle streaking. I play with small number of dupes. I miss the balloons....

Maybe by comparing it to mine I could discover something. Hmm. Let me see. I checked my archive with dropped colonies and find with active balloons. Currently balloon have Hassan and Ari. Ballon artists: Nails and Ren. My specific play style: 1. Do not block access to the Printing Pod 2. Narrow specialization of duplicants. Do not distribute skill points in excess of necessary. Turn off activities, except specialized. 3. Long time dont build recreation rooms. Only jukebot and arcane cabinet. 4. Shower build, but usualy disabled. We have no time for a shower. Work is waiting! 5. In this colony, I experimented with shifting the downtime after sleep for to optimize the time spent on these "useless" process.
