Can someone explain this? Steam turbine can't consume steam, because it's blocked by this.

I’ve noticed that changes to pipe and wire layouts are instantaneous if no new entities need to be built. For instance, this wire layout:

─────
─────

can be changed to this immediately:

──┬──
──┴──

Is the reverse also possible somehow? If I wanted to separate the two networks again, I’d deconstruct one of the middle wires and rebuild them in the right orientation, without the junction. But that can’t be the proper way to do it, right?

This should solve puft ranching, shouldn't it? Also maybe my colonies > 1500 cycles will remain playable without the game dropping critter actions so much that they forget to feed.

I printed Catalina specifically to found the 2nd colony.

I fired up ONI on my lunch break and was surprised to see a popup about a new update.

They added automation ports to atmosuit checkpoints! This is going to make handling suits in rockets so much easier!

Oh and:

• new story trait Grow A Bot: Abandoned machinery uses zombie spores to make robots
• New system for critter moods
  • and they say they fixed pacu feeding
• Food dehydrator/rehydrator: dehydrated food never spoils, but has to be rehydrated to eat
• a new animated short
• plus more

Pretty massive update. I can't wait to dig into it.

Now that we have the food dehydrator I really want a way to base an automation off of available calories.

The update that made high pressure gas vents Industrial Machinery made my normal rocket cabin layout break. Three extra morale per cycle is nice, but I think I can do better. I've always set a target pressure of 4000g to keep the oxylite from off-gassing, but maybe its time to rethink that and use normal vents.

Anyone have a design they really like?

this flower looks amazing

maybe I should get closer

why do I have this stupid bulky atmosuit on anyways?

so beautiful...

Realized yesterday that I must be playing really slow. I sat down and spent half a Saturday managing the construction of my first rocket, the starting steps of a proper industrial brick, and pumping oil up across 2 moonlets (asteroids?). I was surprised I didn't crack +50 cycles in that time. Went from 140ish to 180ish.

I see folks reportng 500 or even 1000 cycles in, and I'm curious how long that takes! Do you pause less and just leave the game at times, etc?

Nice...we're getting ambient light sensors and critter cargo modules for rockets... And we can move critters too.

Every time I unlock steel I feel like I get stuck. I have spaced out and I love it but I'm usually stuck to my first two planetoids because I hate the way I built my base but I don't have enough resources or physical space to rebuild everything before I can start doing more rocketry stuff. Any advice?

I made a complete translation to nl-BE (Dutch/Flemish). Initially for my kids, but perhaps there's another Dutch-speaking Duplicant running around on the globe :). Originally posted on Reddit, but I´ll keep this post up-to-date as well.

All feedback is welcome, surely there's some bugs or improvements to be found. Current state: compliant with latest update "Song of the Moo", 08/06/2023.

Started playing the game a few weeks ago and now understand the basic mechanics of the game, the interface, research, dig/build, etc.

I’m now looking for a recommendation of YouTube vids/channels which discuss beat practices - stuff like who/why to choose dups to print, water, food, gasses, heat, etc- the stuff that I need to learn to progress through mid-game.

Thx

The cannister fillers allow you to create 25kg bottles at a time, and require dupe interaction to do so. If you build a rocket platform, any engine, then replace the engine with a gas cargo tank, plus of course a rocket port loader, you have a cannister filler that produces 11t bottles without dupe interaction.

Using the new move to-command, you can use this to bring 11t bottles of oxygen along with you to oxygenate a fresh base on a new planetoid, using the cannister emptier. 11 tons will last many cycles. Also you don't need to wait the stupidly long times for these to fill when you build them on the real rocket, which could be flying again instead of waiting on the rocket platform.

This is what you do to get rid of carbon dioxide build-up in your base in the early game: Just pump it into a canister filler, hit empty storage for a few times when full, CO2 dealt with.

Also serves as a poor man's gas filter, if you need to quickly grab a bit of hydrogen from the top or a bit of chlorine from a caustic environment. The bottles can be moved around and emptied.

Hi, I was looking at FrancisJohn's video on geothermal power (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyoLDP2tUaI), and tried the trick for building a "spike" deep down into lava (shown off at around 4:30 mark in the video).

However, my dupes do not seem able to build through the closed horizontal airlock. Has this trick been patched out?

Aku makes a comeback, dupe hanging around an active nuclear reactor, bathtub and steam sauna, a background that goes from green to red for no reason but fluff, and a pip running wild. All of that inside a rocket!

Includes narco dupes dropping shovel voles everywhere, a full base (including nuclear reactor) inside a rocket, and other weird stuff.

My game says theres some granite there, but I cant dig, store or deconstruct anything there. It even blocks the light at this point. Is it just a bug or am I missing something?
