Moggles Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I don't have much time to play at the moment but I thought some of you might like this idea. Speed run your way to a rocket launch. What is the earliest cycle you can get your first rocket mission underway?

Fraxotic Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 with the introduction of fossils, the late game became much easier to get to. I would say that a rocket launch on cycle 100-200 would be very doable Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94868-space-race/#findComment-1077835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColBBQ Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 You might want to set a difficulty level since at the easiest setting, you can get one up by 100 cycles.

I think for an confirmed player it could be done cycle 400-600. And for a normal player it's clearly a cycle 1000+ content.

The game scales quite a bit faster with high # of duplicants. My current base has 68 dups by cycle 202, we have every resource exploited, bottom mined mapwide, top corridor coming up to 66% now. The reason we don't have an astronaut, is there was no astronaut in the EU update. The reason we don't have the space-section all covered is we are making steel from slicksters, not fossils. It would still be a bit of a struggle to setup the needed morale 31 though, barbeque only diet I think would go a long way though.

How do you feel that the oil boime is where the fossils will be and if if spawns in there with the igneous rock and you don't have any you won't get any fossil? I only ask because I have about 100 more tiles to mine out myself.

In EU u can easily have all the techs done before cycle 100. The only time sink might be the training of dupes and for that, there are ways to speed that up too e.g. lock dupe in a room so that he only trains in his job. Granted I'm unfamiliar with the new content and don't really know how long it takes to train a cadet to 100% (I'm assuming u don't have to train an astronaut to 100% for him to do his job) but I an still very certain that launching a rocket in 100-200 cycles is doable. Might be a fun challenge, I might try it myself when I have the time.

I only ask because I have about 100 more tiles to mine out myself. I doubt existing Maps Will Be affected. Ive plenty of unmined igneous. I have 3 options for steel (current stockpile 3200): - Slickster eggs from mass co2 (ng boil, ruined by devs.. so need to stockpile co2 now & deconstruct My existing NGas plant & rebuild it for inferior petroleum (same % of co2 though). - 2 pond pacu exploit. I dont like it & choose not to use it, but IT would work. - debugmode fossil. I was really hoping we would get more, not less, builds like LOX / volcano NG, & stuff. But hey we got space Moos.

Rebrait Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Maybe 100 cycle?? A way: *Choice The astronaut form the beggining *Rush he for Tenured scientist, then put someone else on this job *Only do the select Research *Accept every dupe (+/- 30 at the end??) *Rush to the bottom for steel *The Rocket destroy everithing on his way, so make him at the bottom *You only need the steel for the telecospe protecion (or use the steam turbine for this?), and for the rocket Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94868-space-race/#findComment-1078109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebrait Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 i don´t test, but in the last brothgar video the rocket destroy everithing on his way i don´t know if they will path this, but is a very good shortcut for a speed run!
