Zarquan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I have been thinking: What would happen if you exposed a stable to space in such a way that it didn't depressurize? I know that even a large room will eventually overcrowd if you have enough animals in it, it just takes more. So, I have built a stable that is technically exposed to space to find out what would happen. Would all the area above the asteroid be considered a stable (EDIT by which I mean would it count all the space for the slicksters or cap out, not whether it will be a room)? How many slicksters could I have? Well, here are the results: Everything was built in debug mode, but it could all have been built in survival mode. It just would have taken a long time. First of all, here is my stable. Spoiler The opening to the side has a 1 tile water lock that holds the gas in so it doesn't vent to space. Then there is a gas lock that holds in the CO2 in so that the dupes can have access. The vertical shaft goes to the very top of the map, with a small overhang to stop meteors from blocking the connection. You could easily put what ever needs to be in there in there if you want. Results: I have learned how far space truly goes above the asteroid in the unbuildable zone: 2 tiles. I know this because I built the following, connecting the stable to the red zone and nothing else. The stable ends up being 645 tiles. If I have 53 slicksters, it is fine. If I have 54 slicksters, they become overcrowded, which conforms to the 12 tiles per slickster requirement. Therefore, if I were to remove the ceiling of bunker tiles, I would have access to the whole surface of the asteroid and be able to support a significantly larger number of slicksters, up to 886 slicksters, with 887 being overcrowded. I was hoping space would be taller. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLance Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 You can do the same with anywhere on the asteroid, but yes it works and the grooming station will work even though it is out of a stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The areas inside the base are usable. So I would rather have a structure that utilizes the top 256x2 area above the base than have a 512 hole in my base. I can't imagine needing 886 slicksters.
