Lilalaunekuh Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hello Guys, I know there were thread about challenges before and many lost their purpose. So I always set some "restrictions" before I start a new colony just for fun and to challenge me to build "new" systems. Started with some ideas like just using "infinite" sustainable resources for food, or taking just "special" dupes (that means I set a combination of traits and I print only ALL dupes matching that criteria). So to make it more concrete (that´s my rules right now, but I would like your opinions about it): - Fatalistic / miserable Settings - Only printing dupes that have the "Pacifist" trait - Don´t use: - "Rock granulator" (Will challenge you to use normal heavi-watt wire at least in the beginning) - "Wheezeworts" (Harvest any wheezewort you can reach and don´t plant them) - "AETN" (Same as above, to make temperature control more dependent on fixed output temps) (If your up for it: don´t kill critters with other methodes and don´t use the omlette recipe) GOAL: Keeping all dupes alive while progressing towards a 100% barbeque eating colony that can stay alive without player interaction.

blash365 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 All good and fine, but how is a colony, which is a) relinquishing plants and b) killing animals for food to a 100% meat diet something you can call "Eco"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilalaunekuh Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 1. I would call it "eco" cause your 100% sustainable. (You could live without further expansion and don´t just dump surplus heat/resources somewhere) 2. You will never actually "kill" critters, just collect meat if your critters die after their normal life cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goals, naturally, are to embrace nature and all critters, respect them, and treat them fairly. 2 minutes ago, Lilalaunekuh said: 1. I would call it "eco" cause your 100% sustainable.

And I think it's kind of impossible to get towards a 100% BBQ colony without killing some critters...well, at least physically. Spoiler Deep Frier.

Not impossible and should be a challenge.

fishpear Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't get the point that you disable all the cooling stuff. So how can we cool down the colony without wheezeworts and AETN? And I think these should be regarded as `eco` because they do not cost any uncyclable resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Deep Frier. lol I actually already play like this because I feel bad killing animals. I end up with surplus of BBQ just from them dying of natural causes. It's not impossible, you just need alot of ranches. The critters die of old age faster than your dupes can eat them depending on number of critters and dupes. You can do it easily with a very large dense puft farm and also pacus. Both have short life spans. I have a monster dense puft farm in my current playthrough that I use to supply my base with oxygen. And as a dump for all the excess water from geysers and electrolisers etc. Not being able to cook eggs is a bit silly though because you will eventually end up with the game lagging until it's unplayable. You need to get rid of the eggs with automation so that they don't overpopulate and break the game with lag. This is my open ranch oxylite factory. If I don't control the numbers by taking away the dense puft eggs every once in a while the game ends up lagging. There used to be way more but I had to kill off half of the critters in all of my ranches because the game was unplayable. Across all of my ranches I was overproducing BBQ without 'murdering' anything though. Just had sweeper arms bringing meat and eggs to my base. I don't have a pincha nut farm either. 21 dupes. Dense pufts and Pacus would be the easiest to do this with because.. Pacus don't require feeding after you have bred the number you want There is usually an infinite supply of water on the map and the pufts can be fed with SPOMs. It's actually a really good way to get rid of water while giving yourself food tbh.
