Fundamentals

1 Oxygen

Self powered electrolyzer. Using the hydrogen with h2 generators. With an overflow tank because most systems won't require too much power so you'll have a surplus of h2. Cooling the oxygen by thermo regulators or an aquatuner loop whatever you prefer.

2 food

I recommend mushroom farm. Put coal generator in a room above they will provide the co2. Put wheezworts near them and automate doors under the wheezworts so they will open if it gets too cold. 1 wheezwort per gen is more than enough. 2 gens per wheez should suffice. Put hydrogen inside the generator area for good cooling. Don't forget to automate the generators with smart batteries per circuit so the only run when needed

Put a carbon skimmer at the bottom automated so when pressure reaches 2.9(3)kg( or was it 5kg?)it kicks in otherwise the mushrooms will stifled.

Leave enough head room for conveyor system for both coal generator and farm so sweepers will fill generators and plants with coal and slime. 

3 Ranching

Pretty straightforward. Use sweepers to fill the feeders and take the wasteproducts for further use.

4 eggs and meat

Check out the forum for good builds. It's hard to explain :wilson_ecstatic:

That's about the essentials...I think..anyhow if I forgot something (sure I did) anybody please pitch in

5. Cooling! You need to be able to cool your base, or eventually it will overheat. My personal strategy is to use plain WWs for a long time, and eventually establish a central cooler at 25C using 12...18 WWs that then cools the whole base. This is with 12 dupes target population.

Cool build, what liquid is the fridge placed in?

Petroleum. But it doesn't really matter as long as it's not polluted water but that's only to avoid off gassings. Even polluted water wouldn't spoil the food inside. Food in a powered fridge doesn't spoil regardless of surrounding atmosphere or if it's submerged.

I thought food flooded by water and p water get's spoiled. I tested only with free laying food. Was it changed, or is it thanks to the fridge?

I see, no red icon. What is the point of the petrol then? Why not just throw it to some corner of the base?

There are no available space anywhere else. I could just have made another (but open) CO2 pit as in the corners but I didn't bother.

Saturnus, can I get the save file for that?

Sure. It's a giant mess though. As I said. I use it for testing stuff out, or making screen shots of systems for people.

Note: Sandbox mode not enabled as I sometimes find that using sandbox mode things don't work quite as they do in a regular game.
