4 dupes rocket design (late game)

[fredbird]

Hi,

Here is my rocket design, rather late game, for exploration / colonisation / plunder.

It provides :

• 18 Morale (mostly from +12 decoration due to gold pixel packs, +3 from Mess hall, +2 from Washroom, +1 from Barracks)
• beds, tables and atmo suit docks for up to 4 dupes
• access to and from rocket solid storage (may be used for infinite storage, but for quicker loading I temporarily replace the fridge by an automatic dispenser)
• CO2 / polluted oxygen evacuation (but a layer of CO2 will form and stay at the bottom)

It relies on :

• Gas storage module with oxygen (preferably large one for long / colonisation missions)
• late game engine providing power and / or batteries (I use it with petroleum and hydrogen engines and a single battery). Minimum is 120w in flight for oxygen / CO2 evacuation, 180w if you power the fridge (i usually don't, filling it with berry sludge)
  In the capture pixel packs are powered but that is entirely optional (pixel packs provide decor even non powered).
• optional solid storage module

You will have to build pixel packs after the floors, and hand sanitizer after it is pressurised to avoid chlorine offgas.

Isn't that gas pump a little too high to be able to pump the cloud of CO2 that builds up at the bottom? This will always happen with atmosuits because dupes exhale CO2 in the suit and all of that gas will spill out when they return the suit back to the rack.

Yes, you are right, the gas pump will not be able to pump the CO2 at the bottom, and the CO2 detector will trigger the pump before it can really reach it.

But that's OK for me, as it is able to pump CO2 out of the "living area" (beds and tables). The dupes can hold their breath wile passing through the atmo suits, washroom and even whil piloting (which is a short activity).

I was not able to put it elsewhere and keep the 3 rooms (barracks, washroom and mess hall), and the 4 atom suit docks.

I wanted to be able to send a "big" team of 4 dupes on some missions, to establish a base or gather ressources quicker, with a single rocket.

You don't really need the bathroom morale bonus. Berry sludge gives +8, together with the pixels and the other rooms it should be more than enough. You can rip out the disinfectant and put the pump there, the radiation will obliterate the germs anyway.

I will try that, thanks.

Wow looks really clean!
