yey!

btw, the "enable/disable delivery" returns back to default after loading a game

Awesome. No more snow and ice at 300+ degrees Celsius

Might as well remove terrariums from the game at this point. Even more dupe footwork to keep them running just pours gasoline on the dumpster fire.

why would you remove terrariums? their very usefull

[TheScaryOne]

They're bloody outrageous uses of water. 300g/s each is INSANE. I haven't fired up the update to see what the storage was reduced to, but all it means is more dupe trips with water and algae. They only use about 30% less algae than deoxidizers to boot for the same amount of oxygen. Twelve put out less O2 than one Electrolyzer, and use enough water to feed almost four electrolyzers....

Numbers

i use them as checkpoint on other biome i explore early game, plus its just a small number and a temporary remedy for lack of oxygen

[PaulV]

I tend to spread them out in the lower areas when digging for oil so they replace the CO2 with oxygen so my dupes have pockets of air to breathe down there. Works pretty well. But for oxygen generation for the base they are pretty bad.

A deoxydizer, a manual generator, and a small (or smart) battery work just as well (with much less Dupe interaction). By cycle 100 I've backed up oxygen production from my electrolyzer, so I just start flooding my tunnels with O2.

@TheScaryOne see? terrariums are useful, depends on how you use it

so you prefer running down in place rather than just deliver and go

I'm a newer player, so apologies if my question seems silly:

So you send your dupes into other biomes without exosuits and they're ok?  Obviously avoid the slime lung, etc.- but the hotter biome is alright so long as you get 02 in there?

[TheScaryOne]

A little hotter is okay. If your dupes core temp goes above 108*F (42*C) they take overheating damage and will eventually die if not moved or treated. Same with below 90*F (32*C)

The only biome you can't run your Dupes through is the oil biome with ~80°C. All other biomes won't cause any issues for your Dupes. Even the cold biome can be trespassed safely as long as your Dupes don't stand in freezing cold water.

 

Slimelung is only a problem if you play on miserable/fatalistic wiht no passive immunity regeneration. On standard it's almost impossible to kill your Dupes with reasonable amounts of Slimelung. If you sweep off the slime and place Deodorizers everywhere the Slimelung will never be a problem.

 

On Algae Terrariums: They are even more useless since they don't stop producing oxygen once they get overpressurized. This means popped eardrums everytime you bring your Dupes next to them. Algae Deoxydizers are simply superior in any conceivable way.

[PaulV]

@Quigleyer: The hot temperatures at the bottom are an issue, but getting there takes a while so it helps to start relatively early. Also you can usually skim some oil off the top without your dupes dying immediately.

Yeah! My 32 duplicants base with over 320 cycle thank you on this

Time to go back and see what thing I can make all those people work on now.

What about dupes with other conflicting traits/interests like gastrophobes with an interest in cooking?

[CobraA1]

No tweaks to the priority system?

They won't really replace CO2, just displace it - check how much CO2 they consume: 333.33 mg/s, that's ~0.33 g/s or 1/3 g/s vs. oxygen production of 40 g/s which is 120x more. At 300 g/s water consumption they can be renamed "water deleter".
