New item suggestion: Airflow fan

In all the longer tunnels that are been made today, there will be installed fans for air circulation. I suggest to add a fan to the game that can blow gases in one direction. This will be a lot more algae friendly for the player when digging long tunnels.

Yes, it would also help with cooling machinery.

Install an air pump at one end of the tunnel. Run a long air pipe back to the other end and output via an air vent. Result? Circulation.

That sums up to a lot of resources, lots of research and a lot of construction. I'm talking about a little air the dupes can breathe in when digging a long and expanding tunnel. If the tunnel is complete and you know it doesn't go any future, then sure, ur way is better.

You can breathe polluted oxygen just fine you know. Just break into a pocket with contaminated oxygen once in a while. Remember to put airlocks before each of these if you don't want your base flooded with polluted oxygen. Airlocks require zero research.

Or chose dupes with flatulence. They fart just enough to able to breathe about half a cycle.

That won't last long, they are going to make it bad so its a good idea to try and figure out how to do things with pure oxygen.

They're never going to make polluted oxygen unbreathable. They might make the consequences of prolonged exposure more serious but that's what medical bays are for, and if they do they'll also make hazmat suits available to produce. In all seriousness it takes less than 20 cycles to complete every single research there is if you really want to make it fast, so I have no idea why it would be needed. It's such a short period it would be relevant.

I didn't know that, always thought it would be very bad for them. But the only door u have in the beginning is "Pneumatic Door", and that doesn't stop anything. Honestly, I don't know what it's for.

Update your game to thermal update

Not saying the fan is needed :p just saying its a good idea to work with oxygen since we don't know how they will make it bad.
