NanoD Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Well some might think they have problem with germs in their water. so do I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmew Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 How did you get so much Slimelung in your water? It doesn't even live in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le0n1des Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 My guess would be - passing slime lung ridden polluted water from swamp gate washers directly into the water purifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelzhl Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Heating it up would be the easiest way. Although it looks like the oxygen in your base might be contaminated as well. In that case, I suggest just restarting. Currently, it takes way too much effort to clean up slimelung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 that degree of population should rapidly decrease and level out to around 1 million. Not that this is much better, but if you can get that to around 64°C, then it should really start to plummet. Edit, I might be thinking about food poisoning temps.

NanoD Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Whats happening is that there is some CO2 that is so cold that it freezes and drops in to the water and transfers germs and the go back to gaseous form and repets. But there is a bug that every time it happens the germ count go up. You just need to get the temp down to 20 C for slimelung and they will start to die fast. I am not really worried because I am not using the water and the germs in in the air will die because it is cold. In later in the game I cool the water down under 20 C and the slimelung dies of fast.

Best way to kill slimelung in your base is to just keep your oxygen levels high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasuha Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 3 hours ago, Lifegrow said: Best way to kill slimelung in your base is to just keep your oxygen levels high It's not quite enough. All it needs is a packet of polluted oxygen floating here and there and it will be hatching its small slimelung colony and spilling it on surrounding oxygen packets where it will always reside long enough to let your duplicants breathe in dangerous doses. And it's damn hard to get rid of these rogue polluted oxygen packets. A piece of food rots, it releases polluted oxygen. Washbasin fills up, it drops a polluted water bottle, it releases polluted oxygen as it sits there or is being carried around. You go fertilize mushrooms, the slime releases polluted oxygen as it's being carried. Not mentioning numerous polluted water puddles that appear everywhere as you conquer ice biomes. You have to spam deodorizers everywhere to get rid of it. I don't like that part of the game mechanic, somehow I think getting polluted oxygen under control should not be that hard.

Wait, maybe i'm wrong here - but not all polluted oxygen contains slimelung by default... The only way polluted oxygen can manifest slimelung germs is if they're introduced to it, by either direct contact with slimelung surface germs, or a sneeze or similar. If the polluted oxygen is clean, it does nothing. Or at least from my observations it does nothing. A rotten piece of food that previously didn't have slimelung wont suddenly be filled with it... Keep oxygen pressure high and you'll never have slimelung in your base for more than a few seconds - unless you're purposefully bringing it in for storage, etc. Again, maybe I've missed something here?

Your base is a fridge haha, I tend to find since polluted oxygen sits lower than clean oxygen my dupes usually breath it in first since my base has a long runway with CO2 under it and O2 above it, Chlorine and Po2 tend to migrate there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way polluted oxygen can manifest slimelung germs is if they're introduced to it, by either direct contact with slimelung surface germs, or a sneeze or similar. Travelling packets of polluted oxygen can get infected simply by contact with airborne slimelung germs. You release single infected packet, e.g. from an infected slime blob - and it will deploy some germs to clean oxygen. It takes a while for them to die off. And if another, so far clean polluted oxygen visits the area, it will get infected too. I was battling slimelung in my previous base. I had more deodorizers than there were packets of polluted oxygen, yet they somehow still managed to hand over the germs from one to the other and keep the clean oxygen infected at sufficient rate to get my dupes sick. It stopped being fun long before I gave up on the base and started a new one with intent to never let slimelung germs out of slime biomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take that long for them to die off - this is what i'm saying, they die very quickly in a well oxygenated area. The more pure oxygen in your respective area, the quickly those polluted-germ-filled bubbles you mentioned get dispersed and nuked. This is a basic fundamental that everyone should strive for in their bases anyways - high oxygen concentration, so this really isn't a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it's not rather "well frozen" area? Because it definitely stayed in clean oxygen way longer than what I found comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i'm sure Kas you cheeky mofo Try it yourself - find a pocket of stanky slimelung, release it into the wild and slap a Deoxydizer down. Temperature is irrelevant, within a couple of cycles the slimelung will be gone. Pure oxygen is finally useful guys! Embrace it But here, for piece of mind : Only germs in the base is a spot of food poisoning which dies off rapidly. And it's not like I havn't expanded out...
