doesn't work like that

once you promote a dupe to the next tier the moral requirements remain even if you demote them

not sure...but im pretty sure the moral requirements get to the next tier only if you complete the job, switching back does next make it permament

@WanderingKid How do you deal with the heat from Coal Generators and Metal Refinary in the middle of your base?

Relatively easily.  I run 3 in the main trunk for almost the entire life of the base.  They get a pair of wheezes, keeps 'em calm.  Don't need to worry about cooling until Cycle 40+, I build them between cycles 10-12.  The Refinery is simply the PH2O pool that the overflow of the lavatory loop needs.  It needed to go somewhere, I feed it in there.  I don't worry about the heat of this too much.  It typically gets to between 40-45C.  If it gets good and hot I'll throw a few tons of polluted ice in the hole. 

Just don't stick your plants in as neighbors, and you're fine.

i finally managed to get a drecko ranch working; its not been a priority for me until now - they make a suprising amount of plastic once they get going.

 

if you want you can have some refined metal quickly. the rock crusher is sufficient until you can properly set up a refinery.

 

I always prioritize techs i need for a great hall. then a washroom, then get the crusher, then ranching. then begin the long climb to having ranchers
