Why is the orescrubber washbin invasion there? (could be removed, washbins at toilets are enough).
Your steam geyser is cooking everything.
Your Mushroom thing is lost due heat.
This is messed up, if you ask me.
So many basics missing..
Example: Where your ice melts, keep ground dry, use meshtiles, when dupes leaving comfort zone(hypothermia).
Your piping is creative, but that's all about it.. ^^
Ask specific stuff to improve..
Heat management is important (before!!!!!!!!!23213312133) opening an geyser/volcano thing..

Please add some screenshots if you can. I would like to share my "expertise" *lol

but I'm on my phone until later this evening.

Cheers. :wilson_vforvictory:

You should have kept your base waaaaaaay smaller if you ask me : you could have enclosed it to keep the temps nice and to easily manage gases. I don't understand from where is that Natural gas? Enclosing your base should have helped keeping CO2 at the bottom, giving you a perfect place to grow your mushrooms. Your attempt to remove the NG from your mushrooms farm is lost : you dump the NG almost at the same place. Your piping is heating your base too, I use insulated pipes even for 29 degrees water / gases. If I were you, I would rapidly enclose the middle of the base, collect the wheez out of the base and use them to cool only the middle of the base, then pump CO2 in a chamber below the main area to grow mush and cool them with some wheez. Once done, rework your oxygen generation (SPOM build should be nice) and worry about your steam geysers. Maybe only one of the two is enough. If it is, only try cooling one. You just need to achieve 95C degrees water and can use it with insulated pipes for oxygen production.

oh wow, yeah I guess I need to hit up those issues first eh. but mech tiles in icy areas, I don't know why I didn't think of that. not sure how to deal with the heat. the Natural gas just was in a pocket and I let it out. but I guess you are right.. I will try to dumb the Natural gas somewhere else. There is no way to screen shot this base and get the full situation.

There used to be a huge slime area and I cleaned it out. the washbin and ore scrubber wasn't hurting anyone, plus it is hard to contain all the chlorine so I left it there as a random cleaning station.

all this was done without using debug mode, so that is the only thing I am proud about this file.
