I split them into 3 shifts, so 12-16 dupes working at any point in time and only need 6-8 bathroom facilities. I split my 16 dupes into 8 shifts (if you do this, make sure to deactivate the schedule alarm or you'll get annoyed by it quickly) so I only need 2 lavatories (and one in the med bay obviosly). I could probably go with just one though.

I could probably go with just one though. Yeah, I could see that working well, maybe I'll give it a shot next playthrough. In a previous game right after the update that added the scheduling, I played around with having each dupe on their own schedule. Each dupe had the same overall schedule, with each one being shifted by one hour. It was kinda neat because rather than a bunch of them leaving at one time for break, you would see them slowly roll on and off from job sites. It actually worked better than I expected, but it's a little bit tedious to get it all setup.

It actually worked better than I expected, but it's a little bit tedious to get it all setup. I prefer them to work in pairs on schedules as that guarantees that they will get the socialized buff. I also make sure that two dupes on the same schedule have mess tables close to eachother if not right next to eachother so they can talk (express themselves) while eating as that seems to cut down on the amount they do it while working, although I'm not completely sure about that. And finally I make sure that there's always only one dupe sleeping in the same bedroom at any one time. The last part is not game related but I'd personally hate to share bedroom with work colleagues on different schedules than myself.

Ah well, the working in pairs works for me as it matches my base set up, and halves the number of schedules I have to make.

clickrush Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Personally I really like how fast the progression is with 24 or 32 duplicants, but my computer can't handle it well. 16 is the lowest number of duplicants that still feels nice. I add +2 as soon as hitting rocketry because pilots are basically out of the game by then. They still get to have beds and stuff but that's just for show.

Some say it is toothpaste! Give an example of a CPU that uses liquid metal thermal paste from the factory. AMD and IBM uses indium solder but that is not the same as liquid metal thermal paste. Liquid metal thermal paste have an extremely narrow optimal temperature operating window. For example you shouldn't use it for sub-20C operation as it losses it's ability to transfer heat almost entirely, and at sub-zero temperatures you might as well have used vulcanized rubber instead as it'll actually start to insulate rather than transfer heat.

Xadhoom Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 personally i have usually went for around 20 dupes +-4. depends on the difficulty i chose. but i don't like having few dupes, i feel that most stuff just take too long to do if you have few dupes. i'm a bit surprised that most seem to go for 12 dupes, i just think it would take AGES to make a productive base then, even with 24 in my last base i think i was at cycle 380 or so before i got my first rocket away. granted i done a lot more then just preparing for rockets. all eating the best food, best recreation, tubes for transports etc. 3 minutes ago, QuantumPion said: 14. It’s the maximum number of tables you can have in a max-sized great hall with an espresso machine. my tip, make the great hall only 3 tiles high, makes it easier to pack stuff in, i have a great hall for 24 dupes, with 2 jukeboxes. but no espresso though, dancing is good enough for my dupes. i could get an espresso in if i really wanted to, just need to rearrange some furniture.
