Heh, My compost room has the most fresh o2 in my whole base LOL

[MythN7]

haven't looked over here in quite awhile, put 2 terrariums to handle the co2 from the coal gen, my only power source. and several deodorizers to handle the PO from the compost and sieve. just opened the doors, so a vacuum of o2 just swept out but its still showing 7kgs of pressure.

You don't need sinks for composts.. Only toilets

they get dirty hands taking the dirt and putting it in the compost.

So?  They won't get food poisoning or spread it

but i like to have my tidy value high, cause for some ODD reason repairing machines is flagged under that, (it should be the build line I think.)

But from touching the ladders and doing all sorts of stuff if they dont go to the bathroom right after handling compost, my guys end up going nuts spraying the ladders off

Up the threshold to 25,000 and ignore

heh, i actually always lower it to 2000.

dont like seeing germ dots on my objects.

Sinks require no power; there's no harm in having a sink there.

I can appreciate OCD but that creates a lot of unnecessary labor to maintain

There are a lot of things that are no harm.  Just pointing out not needed.  I would rather build other things given the piping etc for 2 sinks for 1 compost

This is my germ overlay, right off the get go, i make sure they are forced to wash up after anything that causes germs.

and I have 5 ore scrubbers and sinks at the entrances to my base.

I don't mind the sinks. Food poisoning even in small numbers can spread to food and then spread rapidly. I once had to compost most of my food because I didn't pay attention to small amounts of FP. Never again.

and if even 1 slime lung germ gets there it seems to get overpowered from the yellow type, but not sure fully, seems to turn into many yellow from it.

I had only a handful of slime lung in my morb o2 pit i was trying on other play. the o2 was able to kill them off fast enough that they were gone by the time they floated up to the gas pump i was using for AC.

I thought i would try to put my bottled PW down there to help with extra PO for the system.

ALL the green dots were gone, and dissipated instantly upon morbs doing there thing.

But i had in the 700 million + food poison germs per tile in the o2 within no time.

Got rid of the PW bottles, and a few dozen cycles later the outbreak was gone and back to just a manageable amount of slime lung from the morbs.

Also, those sinks are not awkward at all to have, I keep my water on a closed loop, and have a hydro reed fiber with a branch to take the extra fluid generation to prevent the line from backing up.

When I primed this closed system, all it had was 10 pipe segments of fluid, its now backed up to full clean water and up to the release bridge.

That has got me 24 reed fibers just from not trying to make them, only my overflow PW heh.

Also keep a normal farm plot with a reed in it to handle any bottles of PW incase they show up for some reason.

You can turn off disinfecting entirely, it's the first thing I do in every single game. Slimelung on surfaces does nothing nor does food poisoning in the air. One sink per toilet means dupes never leave with food poisoning. Don't handle the polluted dirt, have a hatch eat it or build a deodorizer nearby and allow it to sublimate. Composts and disinfecting are a waste of dupe time.

It's could be fun when dev make disease agressive again *popcorn*

[wachunga]

I hope they do something. Germs are trivial and boring right now.

[Whispert]

I have had 7 Cycles of food go to waste because a dupe was walking around with "poo hands" and I was busy over seeing another project so it went unchecked. I don't want to lose half my workforce to food poisoning and trying to recover lost food stores. So keeping a sink in a few places to keep the germs in check when I'm not staring at them seems like a good idea to me. I bet it would drive you crazy to hear I also put a sink at the entrance to my kitchen to keep the dirty little fingers off all my cooked food. Sinks, toilets, and showers run on a closed loop (don't use extra water) so they are no big deal to set it and forget it. @MythN7 Your right it barely takes any water to prime, and very little time to build. I go a step further and use polluted fp water to prime the system that way I don't have to use any of my clean water for it.

While the germs in this game can be negligible there are some of us that prefer to play in a manner that keeps the germs under control (it just feels like the thing to do). That's not OCD just good workforce management.

I put a sink about everywhere they are disease behind, people played diseases upgrade can remember how agressive disease can be. Never let one bacteria entering to my base

My screen shots looks the same but I dont bother with any sinks or ore scrubbers (only sinks at toilets).

How do you adjust overall disinfecting and not just on a per-tile basis? It's been driving me mad having to click on every base tile next to a swamp block and turn off disinfect or my dupes spend half their life doing that.

[BlueLance]

Top right, click on germ overlay, next to the tick box is the germ amount.

I also turn mine off, I have 1 sink for 16 dupes. Even if a dupe walks past the germs die so quickly it doesn't matter.

Dont build structures adjacent to slime, dig one out so you have a gap between the wall and the bugs.

[Jigsawn]

Thanks Bluelance. Yes DyingCrow I try to do that usually, but stuff like poor planning, building out in the middle of nowhere or building close to lakes lined with slime means I sometimes have the dreaded tile next to slime problem

i don't have ore scrubbers cause i work on slime and algae with disease inside a disease area only

I put slime in compactor under PW in slime biome beside timbleweed farm.  Algae is fine as is and into deoxidizers

I know that slimelung die slowly into a compactor, did you try to test in a clean room if the disease sensor detect it inside the compactor?
