Need some help getting oxygen


Recommended Posts

 

I kind of ran out of algae so i started turning slime into algae into oxygen, I have 2 bio distillers and it all works but the bio distillers are priority 9 and say most of the time "not pumping". Also is 2 bio distillers with a puff creating slime enough to run 5 of those oxygen creation machines? (forgot the (hard) name). Does anyone have recommendations for me on how to get more oxygen?

One distiller isn't even enough to keep one deoxidizer running continuously. What you can do is put dupes you hate into a room and lock the door and kill them off to spawn morbs to make contaminated oxygen that they then breathe. It is not worth to turn contaminated oxygen into oxygen. And algae is only worth if you can mine it.

First of all. I can see at least 54 tonnes of algae just in the picture you post so run out might not be the correct word.

Also, did you explore the purple biomes. There are always massive algae deposits there. And I mean literally massive some purple biomes have several hundred tonnes.

The only thing he has that are 54 tons are liquids?

Look at the picture mate. Count the number of unmined algae tiles. Each is 1000kg, or 1 ton. I can count 54 unmined tiles of algae in the picture.

Wow ... didn't think anyone would count them lol also when you mine blocks their numbers drop by half. But sooner or latter he's going to run out even if he finds a new deposit.

Which he can find loads of in the purple biomes as mentioned

Oh, and I count stuff all the time, it's a disease but I'm living with it and it's getting better. I didn't have to look at the picture for more than a few seconds to count it up. And the number might be off by +-2 but I doubt it. :D

That skill can be very useful in certain fields ... I wonder how good a sniper you are (games, tho in real life would be scarry) ...

He's on main not thermal upgrade

yeah, bit different. first of all pause game. check how much space you need minimum. fully enclose bedrooms and static jobs 4 height , fill everything with painting above beds, massage, dont use mushers. finish research with 2 high learning dupes, once ready deconstruct. dont run max speed. set up farming in vacuum. make enclosed lavatory system, that resets their bladder to morning.once you got 3 mealwood per dupe set 1500 rations, they will eat every 1.5 cycle. set your best diggers to dig/harvest only. set best builder to build only, if nobody good, researchers with high learning, if want less micromanagement dig/build. set 1 man to deliver only, highest strength high athletics. your runners shouldnt dig/build just sweep/deliver but prior 8 power, sweep on 5.

build your biodistillers, 4 enough, purify water. setup cooling system, you need around 8+1+1 with 2 check rooms. 6 at least. pump into 2 thermo regulators then into a sealed room with liquid pump, gas pump, vent from regulators, pump for next 2 regulators, one more check room, 2 more regulators, check, back to start. this will cool cont o2 into clean liquid oxygen which helps with o2 and cools base. insulated walls.

have one deoxidizer in bedroom, manual generator room, massage room. send your diggers for algae, better for brown algae between coal/ignious rock. have 1-2 electrolizers, setup pump, 2 vents pour back water, rest goes to 3rd final vent, right next to it valve, straight pipe into electrolizer, set valve to 500 gramms, adjust based on usage, first vent splits water to 5-5, next 2.5, then 1.25 out, 1.25 into valve then splits, lower if storage full.

get to magma, setup steam making, bit of water at a time, use same cooler system for steam. you can even liquify chlorine or co2 for showers/mop. set liquid pumps and max 2 liquid filters after a switch and use when check rooms got liquid, filter water and liquid o2, rest can go in a pool. if dont want/cant use magma, use 20 batteries with a thin cont water layer like 100g layer.

algae should last 10-15 cycle each pocket, dig only dupes can reach it. plants spare water, electrolyzers use it. may be too late anyway, steam and liquid o2 can give you few extra cycles. 200-300 is decent, lag is deadly after.

didnt check picture at first.

printer is high decor, use as bedroom/massage.6 wide each side +inside ladder, wall, doors 5 wide shafts, next time. use unpowered mechanical doors, floating above 1 empty space, enclosed diagonally for perfect air seal. you are letting too much oxygen up/upleft. plants need 3 height room, less pressure needed, doubble wall them so 3 height and matches levels. seal everything. batteries, storage wont need more than 2 height room, and no oxygen there, fridges not really needed, make food/harvest for 3 days max, 2 man job. seal top side and move massage in. really just middle would be wider you could fit 2x6 beds, 6 wheels, 1 mess table row, co2 sink. plants one side machinery other.
