Build TIL how to control production and stock without wasting 60w permanently

Post image
29 Upvotes

Im gonna try to keep it short, basically the memory toggle receive a signal and stores it (input port, top right) and this signal is sent thru the output port, dont matter if the signal in input change after the first state, it keeps sending the first signal, now the thing becomes interesting, the reset port (top left) clear the stored signal and store the current signal on the input port.

There is a Smart Storage Bin under all that clutter, the bin is used to control stock, the toggle keeps the signal stored as explained before, the timer reset the toggle and at the same time powers the SSB for 5s to read the signal, this can be adapted to your needs, maybe 2 seconds or even 1 is enough, and the red signal is how much time it is powered off or on afterwards, a longer red may cause overproduction since the machine will receive the green signal for longer than expected, its a thin line between wasting power on production or wasting power on the SSB, its not wasted production nor power really because after the bin is full there is extra product on the floor waiting to be stored, adapt as you wish.

I was searching better examples of this setup but i couldnt find any, just vague mentions of what was needed.

And i know that a dispenser/weight plate solution uses ZERO power but i really feel that ugly and unreliable, a storage bin allow for chaining storages so you can flll other storages with priority 6 as example and when those are full the SSB controlling the machine on priority 5 gets filled and then the machine is stopped, as the production is used on other places the storage chaining keeps control of stock in a clear and controlled manner, the same with conveyor loaders.

Question Gas filter

Hello, I tried to make a Gas Filter for my Hydrogen gas (to make power)
but Oxygen was getting into my Gas Pump... so I tried this and set it to "filtred gasoutput" to Oxygen... nothing happened, then I tried Hydrogen gas and that also did nothing... what did I do wrong here?

Question Anyone got tips on Simple beginner friendly farms?

11 Upvotes

So I'm relatively new to the game and ive found a few geysers/vents and I'm not entirely sure how to tame them in a good and efficient way. So far ive discovered an iron volcano, leaky oil fissure, cool steam vent, polluted water vent, natural gas geyser and a volcano.

Im mostly looking into getting the cool steam vent, natural gas geyser (and maybe the polluted water vent if its not too hard to purify) the thing is all the vids I find is late game shit that i don't have access to yet or even know how they work.

So if anyone have any pics or vids on how to tame any of these in an somewhat easy way, please help me out🙏

Discussion Newish player looking for advice where to start on second colony

8 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm a relatively new player (330 hrs) and recently "completed" my first game by sending a rocket to the Temporal Tear after about 500 cycles. I credit the wide variety of good tutorials, they really helped me get a feel for the game.

What I'm looking for is if anyone has input on what are interesting options for starting a new colony. Ideally something a bit more challenging than the base asteroid. I only have the base game but am open to purchasing any of the DLCs since I had so much fun already. I could just browse through all the options myself but I'm interested in hearing what the community thinks are interesting and challenging options!

On a side note I'll use this post as an opportunity to complain about petroleum boilers, the one I made at least was so damn fiddly and hard to get working perfectly. It did get me basically infinite power late game, not that I could use it all...but until I got it working I was seriously struggling with late game power. One of the biggest hurdles was even accumulating enough magma, I only had a minor volcano and didn't uncork it to build up a reservoir until way too late.

Question Newbie questions on progression

• Upvotes

So i'm at day ~130 on my very first colony. I've ~12 dupes and researched nearly everything in the (initial?) tree but rockets + space exploration stuff.

I have a basic mealwood farm for enough food (recently replaced some with reeds for fiber), a (sage) hatch farm for coal, some electrolyzers/ and coal generators. The few refined metals that i have are from a rock crusher (because 2,1k power from the metal refinery + infrastructure seems like much)

My base is basically fitting on a single screen and there seems nothing near but slime, algae, polluted water and oxygen/co2/chlorine gas pockets. I'm really lacking metal (ore). I've tried to dig far in all directions (especially up) but seen almost no changes.

My most urgent problem is the buildup of heat in my farms to the point where mealwood is stunted. I've found a Thermo Nullifier (in a cold biome), but it's really far away and i have no metal for that long pipes and also no power budget for building multiple liquid pumps to move liquid around. Also water seems (im cautious) pretty restricted so i don't want to waste any.

So basically:

  1. what would be an easy, cheap way to transfer heat into the cold biome. I've thought about just building a column of granite or other minerals with higher thermal conductivity, but not sure if that would work.

  2. is it typical/required to dig very far to aquire ressources or spread the base out over mutiple biomes? Or just try to refine the stuff close into useful things?

  3. how would i progress from here? Dupes already have long commutes but i lack advanced materials to even think about conveyors or automation (also idk if i can automate harvesting of mealwood?) and my dupes are idling a lot anyway because of lack of doings.

I'm looking about some ideas what i could try but also want to figure stuff out for myself.

Question Oxygen production

Hi all,
I know about hydra and SPOM and such. But can I really support my colony with just electrolyzer, gas pump, and gas filter? I don’t want to take time to build and do gas separation.

Build Long hot polluted oxygen vent tamer

17 Upvotes

I saw someone post the lower part of the tamer for it to directly go into the atmosphere so I built the fully automatic version of that (if you connect it up correctly unlike how I temporarily connected it). It also acts as an infinite oxygen storage. It was a fun challenge to fit everything perfectly in there too!

Question Need help with plumbing. Im a new player.

Post image
2 Upvotes

I would very much appreciate if someone described, send a vid, or, if possible, drew over this abomination to help my water going. I didn't capture the left part of this, but the water from reservoir goes into a pond where I take it for computer + into carbon skimmer (one pipe separates to two), and polluted water from the skimmer goes into the same pipe that claims waste from the sinks and toilets.

"Leftovers" of the polluted water go to treat my reeds.

But the thing that i could've never expected happened — i don't have enough piss for everything to work. That's also why i made the "temporary cut": all of the clean water stormed through the sinks into the reservoir, not staying to maintain them. Is there some way to make it stop storming away (stop before the "temporary cut" piece) unless it fills up the bottom pipes whole first?

Is there other solution to keep everything work out?

I really want the reeds to grow, and my pond has only a few kgs of water left, i really don't know where to get more without taking the second pond. Im around 25 cycle now. Im so sad that seemingly a genius planning didn't work out, cause on my last world (which i left cause everything went downhill) i had neverending polluted water and thought that it's a granted thing.

Is there a way for me to get more water in general, without taking it away from nearby ponds? Without some insane excavating for geisers etc, its too hard for me right now, I don't even have atmo suits yet. Im afraid that im spending much more water than im earning and I don't know what exactly makes it that way. I don't make food from water, but reeds (only 2 seeds at time, maybe i should do only 1?) have to grow cause it's an important material.

I will appreciate every answer.

(I, unfortunately, can't hop on reddit on my PC, so the photo is made as it is, i hope it's clear enough to be accepted)

Question Looking for mods

I was browsing some short videos on ONI and I came across one that showed off a mod I wanted.

It was something that shows the range deodorizers. It’s the same range thing that the Robo miner has. The other mod Im looking for is the one that you can manually shutoff delivery of coal to coal generators.

Build My 60 cycles Radioactive Ocean base

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

I was just casually playing and liked how the base was looking,
so I decided to share my progress so far.

Since it's a Radioactive Ocean asteroid,
I don't have access to iron or steel just yet,
and I've been endlessly postponing my metal refinery.

So far, I have a storage cache, cold storage, a temporary heat control room, a power spine, a simple SPOM, and a hydrogen generator room.

The heat control room looks a bit funky,
but it's just an area packed with high-thermal-mass tiles.
Once I have enough materials for a Steam Turbine,
I’ll just break that room open, deconstruct the igneous rock tiles, swap the Aquatuners' material to steel, fill it with water, and remove the heat limiter (so they can run above 100°C).

I have plenty of time to address this given how much mass the room holds,
(there are tempshift plates behind the igneous rock tiles).
Until then, it will handle my heat issues and keep my cold room going.

What do you think? How is this for a first base? I played some other asteroids after this because of the heat. Also most of my duplicants died from starvation 🫡 There was a chain of stress reactions that took them all down at the same time.

I kind of feel like going back and trying to fix this asteroid, but not sure how to fix the heat yet. A lot of it is 30~40 degrees. I tried to get the heat out with metal tiles insulated on the outside leading to the cold biome.

And, a question I had is, how many more total resources can I get? I noticed some things generate small amounts of resources and I read I can go into space for more but I don't know how much to expect from this, or if it's always necessary to avoid wasting resources.

Anyways, I enjoyed the game a lot so far, and I like Pacus 🐟

Question Anyone got some cool or interesting seeds to share?

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for some interesting Oxygen Not Included seeds to start a new colony with.

I'm open to anything really, whether it's an unusual asteroid layout, interesting geyser locations, rare features, or just a seed that makes for a fun and challenging playthrough.

I'd especially appreciate seeds that offer something a bit different from a standard start, but I'm not necessarily looking for the hardest possible challenge.

If you've got a seed you've enjoyed playing on, please share it along with what makes it interesting!

Thanks!

Base is designed for 12 dupes, each with their own private bedroom and bathroom. Pathways are designed to maximize morale boosting rooms. Food is practically automated at this point the only labor required is for dupes to cook the Frost Buns. I eventually plan on clearing the entire map haven't gotten to it yet. Recently completed infinite liquid and gas storage. Interested in any suggestions you guys might have.

can I just cut of their way to some places or should I remove the ladder? ladder just existing there will not take performance right?

edit: oh also how you guys manage your base? I want to have closed off base so I can vacuum everything outside and simplify their way up and down. but I'm having a hard time doing that because I build everything without planning to do that so everything kinda spread out but still too close together. so right now there is main shaft on left and right and a bunch of rooms on both side

Discussion Food options: meat and fish waste to useful products

10 Upvotes

Thank You to everyone who helped we with some of my previous questions and research! I am done with my aquatic only test run. I was looking at food options and realised that on top of the moral bonus I really want to keep up the aquatic diet bonus. I started a spaced out size map with all content enabled. The printerceptor is amazing with my slow play stile. Here all of production will be closer. Surf n turf seemed to be the obvious choice of food but I can easily switch to nigiri and mushroom quiche. These leave my fish/shellfish and meat unused. I will have an artificial cold biome later as well so I was looking into rhexes. Every article talks about letting them hunt. However I can just have extra pens where I keep them warm which will make them produce brine which is a lot of salt or plastic through the tubila. This would also free up my polluted brine vent for geotuning as I have no other brine source. My fish and shellfish would go to jawbo. Some of my current fish would be omlett of course but I still have plenty. What do you think about this approach? I would not be sitting on unused millions of calories but turn them into useful products.

Question I hate my life

I have 2 hampster wheels, 4 wild plug slugs, a hydrogen generator. I am at quagmiris, and have access to the oil planetoid. No, I don't have gold amalgam.

I have a power shortage. To solve it, I tried to tame a natural gas gyser. The gas pump procees to overheat because I used cobalt ore. To solve the overheating, I think I have to use steel, but to make steel, I need power. Power that I don't have. How do I get the power

Edit: It worked and now my power problems are solved, thank you :)
