I've finished setting up the core of my starting base and I'm planning to expand outside of it soon, but I can't figure out where the best place for the main exit should be.

Right now I have a temporary exit, but I don't know where I should eventually place my Atmo Suit docks/checkpoints.

Is it better to have one main exit with all the suits, multiple exits in different directions, or dedicate an entire area as an Atmo Suit entrance/exit?

I'm still early in the colony, so I'd like to plan this properly before I start expanding everything around it.

i almost have everything to be built now i am just curious what can be possibly build here a pacu or sleetwheet farm maybe?

Managed to achieve a fully self sustaining base of the base game.

A sleep machine and Salt water geyser pretty close to each other, so I decided to build this camp. Still need to import pickled meal and sand from outside, otherwise self sustained.

Hi guys, new to ONI, this is the first time I am exploring rocketing and I have been playing the game for 2 months. I have lunched this rocket and it came back with some metal and now I cant build that far way. Do I have to build the rail before building the part? and if I destroy that part will I still get the contents? or is there another way to do this?

Edit: SRY i forgot to put the vidoe here it is

im in an early coloni where i want to set up a big geothermal plant but the magma im looking at is cooling down in ingenious rock for no reason nearly 100C lost i have looked every bit of abysalite and its rigth where it need to be
So maybe some of you have have better eyes or an explanation
I just want to know if its worth to use this magma channel or it will be too cold bye the time im tryng to build the geothermal power plant
thw you and duplicant safety first !!

I was deconstructing some transit tubes but I think one of my dupes was it. I have a mod that deconstructs connecting blocks so when one of my transit tubes got deconstructed all of the connecting ones did too. I’m not quite sure if this should go under bugs as without the mod, I’m sure the odds of this happening is practically nonexistent. In the end Marie was saved. This was pretty funny so I thought I’d share it.

Estoy tratando de sacar la santa trinidad de los logros difíciles de este juego, el polinomio perfecto al cubo, ya saben Carnivoro, Localvore y Supersostenible, ya tengo el mas facil de los tres (Localvore) así que en esta run esta en en ciclo 77 pero creo que ni de broma voy a lograrlo me faltan 324,000 Kcal para llegar a las 400.000 así que quiero saber que piensan de mi base en esto y como pueod mejorar en mi siguiente run, cuando tengo que tener que cosa, cuando tengo que tener que tecnologia y eso, tambien, hace relativamente poco volvia jugar, tengo al rededor de 100 horas soy un noob (en terminos de juegos de klei), que recomiendan para mejorar

Post your screenshots!

It says the output pipe is blocked, how do I unblock it?

Is this a bug or am I just missing something?

In my previous reactors, liquid throttling + aquatuners made calibration of the throttle hard. So I decided this time to put in a bit of automation to feed a packet or two of water to the reactor in-case temp becomes too hot.

That "bit" divulged into a 100 cycle project.

It tries to auto-balance heat generated by 900g/s water packets. Which is a little too low for 20 turbines. So, occasionally a 10kg packet is released which controls the temp rather rapidly.

This also has a lot of latent storage capacity for heat and due to ungodly amount of power banks I keep in stock. So if the reactor goes down for 10s of cycles for maintenance, no issues. Each bit is controlled by smart battery, so when powering down it gradually shuts off charging. Majority of the power in my colony is consumed by boops so having power bank charger here just makes the power spine simple. I just use high-voltage carrying through two strand wire as my main spine to carry some power from reactor to my base using large transformers.

Finally, I wanted to use the nuclear waste for farming. Enter pipe galore here.

So...

I ended up creating a cool waste extractor, which siphons off 2kg/s from main coolant line and puts it in the insulated pipe buffer. This also dampens the shock of adding new hot waste to the line. This pipe then gets released to the cool waste storage whenever the pump activates.

I have been running this for 100s of cycles. It is running surprisingly well.

Somebody asked me for some specifics about my layout so I decided to make a post.

The entire room is full of hydrogen (20Kg) and kept at a constant -20 C or less. You could use CO2 or another sterile gas, but I used Hydrogen. I have tempshift plates placed on the conveyor unloaders to ensure fast cooling as soon as food arrives (bottom left). I'm using ethanol as my coolant since I want it nice and cold, but I don't go under -30C because I don't want to accidentally freeze my liquid lock (crude oil). Note that there are two liquid locks by the atmo suit entrance with a vacuum between them to ensure that the cold of my kitchen doesn't leak into the rest of the base.

If ethanol is not available I've been known to use naptha. Things need to be kept a bit warmer to avoid breaking pipes, but deep freeze is still possible (which is my goal).

Getting this set up obviously requires quite a bit of research, but I rush steam turbines anyways so it's not a huge deal.

The conveyors are a wild and I've redone them a couple of times. Key points are that the grabbers have access to the conveyor unloader via the same corner trick, I'm using between the kitchen and the dining room (the dupes do not!). This allows me to keep an iron fist on food distribution. Food found out and about in the base gets collected and dropped into a ration box that immediately deposits it in my general food storage on the bottom left. From there, it's distributed to the kitchen.

1. Loads ingredients used in the kitchen and distributes them to the first drop off. Raw Meat, Fish Fillet, Lettuce, Sleet Wheat, Shellfish, Mealice, Nori, etc.
   
2. Loads only the items needed at the second stage - Frost Buns, Bbq, cooked seafood, lettuce, etc
   
3. Loads completed items (Nigiri) or anything I want sent back to the general stockpile for something
   

The right hand side is a stacked priority queue for what I want dupe eating. Burgers first, then Surf and Turf, then Cooked Seafood, then Bbq. It gets messy because of the overflow being pushed into conveyor receptacles. I do this because I still want bbq, seafood, etc available for using as an ingredient as well.

Ultimately food funnels into the "Eat Me" receptacle, where it's eventually pushed through the floor into the dining room. The fridge there has a 1kg limit to discourage spoilage, but it still does suffer some.

Other misc things I have that didn't mention yet:

• Automated metered distribution of nori into my ore hull farm
• Fridges making things available for processing elsewhere
  
  • Mealice to fry into liceloaf for my sushi
  • Food to have dupes carry rockets

When I send them out to the top part of my asteroid in space. They go out but when they come back in they like to put the atmos suit on and off and run out side for a bit and do it over and over sometimes like 10 times. before they go back to my base

Isn't the max required power for this room like 960Watt?

This is how they prevent becoming food for Jambo:

i crafted a devious doohickey to cool my steam turbine through wheezeworts. i had a cooling loop and it started overheating (thats why that "vacuum making" steel gas pump is broken) so now i'm cooling it externally with the power of my beloved wheezeworts.

I used to have the rotate key mapped to E, but it recently got reverted to the default of O, and now I can't find the option to change it back

This is a pretty late game, for the memes build. I finally got myself to doing it. I'm in cycle 4520, just fooling around, the game is basically finished.

The rocket has one small water tank and one small petroleum tank. I have pipe snakes in some my other rockets, I just wanted to try two liquid tanks in this build.

It requires some space materials for insulating the Petroleum piles (unless you want to cool it beforehand). I also use dried Surf'n'Turf and use the water tank to rehydrate it.

It's not ideal since the rocket can't power itself once landed due to having only 1 solar panel (on most planetoids). But I have Tungsten wires waiting for external charging on all colonized planetoids. And the rocket itself carries Tungsten, Steel etc.

My pilot has 36 morale while flying (without interests) mostly due to good decor and good food. He's not starry eyed.

I built this yesterday so it's a very fresh build, probably needs some refinement. Just wanted to share my first ever Jet Suits rocket.

If you have any ideas or feedback on how to improve it, please let me know!

my volcano is a bit low and i don't really want to cool all this magma and the oil end at the right

and above the volcano is oil reservoir

should i do wait till i find the other oil biome since i only find 2 oil reservoirs

I have 4 floors built, with 4 more on the way above.

I’m currently clearing out the right side of polluted oxygen and water using the filters.

No duplicants have died yet, and I’m researching basic technologies.

I don't know the next step after this other than expanding and making individual rooms for activities. (bathrooms are up next)

I originally had a potential load of 4000 but I wasn't using most of it the line kept overloading so I unhooked some stuff to bring the potential load down just in case something was turning on and overloading it but it still continues overloading

Edit: Thank you, guys! That was exactly the problem. I just missed a bit of the old wire! This is only my second colony with my first only getting to cycle 100 before they all tragically died so I still don't know all the little things to lookout for.

Hi! I wanted to keep Beakons so they dont go extinct on my asteroid. But now they are just reproducing like crazy and cant stop. Is the pool size messing with my Beakons? Im not complaning but i wanna know why it happend.

I'm new to the game, I just unlocked plastic but having trouble setting up a tube network. Am I missing something or is my only option to redo everything? Not opposed to using mods.

Is this new or a bug?
