Disasterpile - A Succession Colony


Recommended Posts

Great update - but as a newb I am stunned at how organized the base is.  I am on my second base and at cycle 37 I have just finished the tech tree, but am way behind in setting somethings up.  Just got my electrolizers set up in '35.  I would be willing to take a turn - but I may be the doom of the entire project....

World Seed 7 turned out to be a really good fit for my early game playstyle. The caverns were perfectly positioned to be repurposed as farms (low, so I can to fill them with CO2 to prevent rotting), latrines (immediately accessible), and barracks (just above the latrines). Water was highly accessible without being in the way of  construction, and the seed is swimming in mealwood seeds (I think I was into double digits by the time I started the farm).
         
Speaking from experience: if we'd started on World Seed 8, it would have been a very different story. The low caverns on that seed are too hot for farms, mealwood  is comparitively scarse, lakes are in in extremely inconvenient positions, and there's a freaking steam geyser penetrating the start biome. If you can get past the early game, though, that seed is a lot of fun.

It's not a succession colony without at least some doom! I'll add you to the list.

Only if you purposely undermine the work of those who come before you.  By the time you get a turn the core colony shouldn't have any worries what so ever :)

What if we accidently blew up one of your many contraptions trying to understand the witchcraft?

"Good!, now get to the sweeping"

021.thumb.jpg.95e7037c7d5c2ec7aa044017ff71d933.jpg

After what felt like an eternity of sweeping, the silence was once again interrupted by the now familiar hum of the Printing Pod..

.. followed immediately by the sound of a dupe being forcibly flung to the floor

"OOOOMPF!"

withers doesn't like sweeping.  You'd better give withers something more important to do, or withers might start breaking stuff.  lol  :D

so, thankfully I made the medical bay just in time as soon as the opening ceremony was over, some members required aid.

Ok, picking up the pile from here :)  As my first order of business as new overseer i've added a second pump to the air machine so we can breathe a little easier.image.thumb.png.8265138c34666b123f6989662feb99ba.png

We've rebuilt the garden using the newer, more compact planters.

image.thumb.png.ec9abc55c81be0a3cb9a6e654b39da93.png

more plants in the same space, wins all around, am I right?

There was a slight snafu with the plumbing but we think we've got it hammered out now.

Note to self, (Thats self in the picture) can't breath inside blocks(tried anyway) :D

And being a miner i'm just gonna cap this off and dig past it.  Dropped in a pump so someone else doesn't have to later :)

Update so far: (Cycle 85)

Had a group meeting which was interrupted by getting beaned by rock thrown.  Wasn't a rock but a hard boiled lice which means the base is getting a tad hot.

Hole is cut on the bottom of the base because some of you are complaining of not getting any sleep when it takes all night to reach their beds.

Temporary shelter built for the diggers/builders along with an electrolyzer because of complaints of not getting any oxygen down there.

Third ice biome found, proceeding to dig into in hope of worts.

Temp shelter and the three weezlewort plants hoping to cool down the base with.

Rearranged Vent system to split the gas evenly between the vents.

Heat nullifier found in the third ice biome but unfortunately, we have to pump out all the polluted water, crude oil and fresh water in order to use it.

20180127204609_1.thumb.jpg.0257449c9a0d5f7270480e9f14a7b015.jpg

Overseer: Building ice sculpures in hot areas of the base will aid in cooling.

20180127205222_1.thumb.jpg.1970f39f76399b22081ce741ec7e23ab.jpg

Thewreckdangle: "If we use coal power down here, maybe we can pump out all this liquid to use this ancient cooling device."

20180127205740_1.thumb.jpg.8b040f7c8fbbf8ecacac2f23a7a4dd7d.jpg

20180127221700_1.thumb.jpg.edd1fcafc2d17ed7e3dd9d04961ea6d2.jpg

Overseer: You should move that oxygen production to a cooler area.

20180127222426_1.thumb.jpg.3c652f3304f04ffdc625f1b0b5358cd9.jpg

Overseer: As your final task you should build a radiator to cool your oxygen.

20180127213351_1.thumb.jpg.a8f996ec7d58a48cdc206febb51a5663.jpg

Overseer : WELL DONE my little minions. You have increased the efficency of the base by 27.245% and cooled it down a lot!

Technically, yes, realistically, no.  Its set up for tubular and all that entails.  Would require a massive revamp of the colony to get it working in OC and honestly better to just restart for the upgrade.  I imagine we are waiting for a stable upgrade release before doing that though :D
