→ 4:13 "We have a thousand lotus flowers we can't do anything with" - You can and should make lotus flower tea. Get one of these production buildings near your lotus flower warehouse. It gives a bit of a wellbeing boost to the beavers, and it might also be possible to export it with the balloons to get something useful. → 25:06 Let me repeat what I commented many episodes ago when the first mine was built: You can use the normal platforms on top of the medium warehouses to put the small and the medium crappy warehouses on top of each other. It should allow (I think) you to get more levels of warehouse in. (For doing things on top of piles, you need the tall platforms instead.) I'm not sure how high you can stack them, but that's something to try out. → 25:40 If you want to operate the underground laboratory, you might need to get a factory creating new laboratory glassware dedicated to this. → 30:10 "No, it's the same amount of time, no. it's not, it's half as fast" - The supplementary team has only half as many beavers (5 instead of 10) as the main elevator, and takes twice the time, so per beaver it's the same. They also don't need additional power (they just go down when the elevator goes down anyways, I guess). → 35:06 Something like this here should work for the small badwater pump. Explode these two tiles of ground away, pop it in here, build another levee-type building on top (like a water storage house, or just the big builder lodge with the second-floor entrance) to block the water flowing towards the entrance. Then explode a hole down to the entrance. Takes just 4 pieces of dynamite. 51:54 Nooo! - At least put a tank of the pollution resistance factor nearby, so the beavers living and working there can nib on it. → 1:01:34 "But that requires hydrogen, good luck even figuring out how to make that" - It's made (extracted) by one of the other attachments for the abbys escalator. (Not sure whether that's the only way, though.) → If you are still looking for a place for the giant logs: beside the solar cells at least one giant log storage should go in. I think you should also be able to put another one on top of the factories on the advanced sawmill, until you want to use that space for something else. → 1:15:08 "For some reason, we don't have enough coal - but we do." - Your 68 (at this moment, later ~ 80)) non-filled jobs include the 50 haulers in the hauling tower. I guess you don't have many haulers right now working, which might also have an impact on the water situation. You need to look at your jobs, and prioritize a bit. Maybe some of the recent additions (e.g. in the expedition, as well as your mines) don't need as many workers as they currently have? → 1:17:08 The baobab needs a 5×5 space, but you can put paths and the baobab benches into this space.

[@Malijah__]

why not spend time during droughts to put dynamite under the current batteries? drought = power priority and drought = no bad water

[@hasanmahmud8602]

I think the batteries don’t require solid ground so he can easily do with a single overhang.

[@Redneck353]

46:10 don't need a path use the whole place for nananananas

[@Malijah__]

Hydrogen (H2) for the abyss lab is made in the gas section of the abyss buildings

[@Redneck353]

30:38 that one is cool at first to crank up exploration and open the tourism center but on the long term, you sooulhd delete it and use the spot for a gaz one

[@Redneck353]

48:49, if you just remove the "planting order" on the left lane they will spread and cover the place, kinda like the brambles do but not as fast

[@Redneck353]

26:46 making gears and scafolding lets you delete mecha and architect, thus removing population, 2 you most probably want sooner then later, don't stress about the axels, you have a ton of water saved up and oil is surviving

[@PauxloE]

Seeing the ~80 unfilled jobs, I'm not sure that removing population is the way to go here.

[@Redneck353]

14:27 actually, yes you need, tought about it but didn't comment on that, it's a really good advice

[@Redneck353]

23:000 Excess dirt=GOLD need more of those clay pits fren

[@Redneck353]

25:19 the way you did this still blows my brain, such a nice space optimisation

[@PauxloE]

By putting platforms on top of the warehouses, one could get still a bit more in, I think.

[@Redneck353]

yeah on the storage at the bottom, top ones won't accept platfors since they are already on some, at least i think, never tried it

[@Wirdoboy]

hey jc. it might be a good place to experiment with the nuclear stuff where you starting to clear trees and metal. if you get it all to 1 level plain you should have more then enough space to experiment and try and figure it out. i think if you can get it to work that the power output would be a good asset to get, also it will be a way to get better batteries. hydrogen comes from the gas extractor in the mine.

[@Snuggs83]

You also need dirt to use in the GMO growing lab Also, on my play through, I had to keep pausing the drills to get the excess out in order for it to start again

[@Redneck353]

A good place for the solar pannels could be on megaplatforms over the grennhouse, don't forget the beaver has to be in there to have some power produced. the further it is the less output you will get

[@someonek8966]

Frozen Hooman Meat and Wine are bottlenecks you should address!

[@crowaust]

Did anyone else wonder why JC dynamited down that column of dirt instead of using a side platform for the gravity battery?

[@sidmcmillan926]

I guess sometimes we don't see the forest for the trees 😕

[@PauxloE]

I didn't have that idea either. Though it's sometimes a bit difficult to keep the overview of which building requires ground and which can go on platforms or overhangs.

[@Arandombrazilian-ld8rh]

You could use the part of the lake next to the ENS to plant more rice

[@Redneck353]

32:00 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO plz sir, small aquifer, gonna have to reach across the screen and put your nose it it 🥰

[@PauxloE]

You mean the small badwater pump, not small aquifier pump, right? (Or did I miss that the aquifier pump can pump badwater?)

[@Redneck353]

@@PauxloE the small aquifer does, not the big one

[@Lapantouflemagic0]

great video as always 😊 but to be honest it's a bit frustrating sometimes to see you give up on things without really trying 😥 like you looked at the billboard for half a second and gave up, i don't really understand how could a building guide NOT tell you how to build it that... what a building guide is. maybe actually build the board so you can look at it with colors and give it more that 3 seconds to look at what it shows 😥if you still don't get it, fine, but at least try a bit. you have 9000+ science in stock you can set your beavers to make more nursing licenses (yeah they are too expensive, i'll rework that soon). also don't forget that flat-roof buildings are usually stackable, you could have put that forester on the roof of the harvester's lodge (just would have needed a ladder) as for the bad water pumps, as some people have said, point the outside toward the river side, then seal off everythign but the propeller. and good luck with the rest, keep extracting relics and nuclear stuff (centrifuge to turn nuclear waste into nuclear fuel) and you can set the ENS to make either nuclear degrees or robotics degrees 😊

[@JCTheBeard]

Was referring to the process of getting the green stuff, not building the nuclear plant. But at any rate it's probably way too soon to even be thinking about building anything nuclear

[@Lapantouflemagic0]

@@JCTheBeard not necessarily, it comes in several stages and the first one (the base) is really large and requires access to water (bad or clean doesn't matter) so you could start looking for a good location and dynamiting / terraforming what needs to 😉

[@Devilish_Fun]

🥤🦫!

[@Yalsof]

You could always use pit and ladder lodges built in the bad water with the doors matching up with the bad water pumps. No contamination risk, just a little extra planning on the location and some extra housing for builders. For extra power storage, you could dynamite under the gravity batteries

[@Redneck353]

For the abyss, the min/max strat is to stack up to do the tourism center, need to unplug power, build it and replug. I tried my best but no way lapan wanted to make it not suck a pain

[@JCTheBeard]

Wait, stack? You can stack those?

[@PauxloE]

@@JCTheBeard My interpretation of this comment is that Redneck353 means to collect and store ("stack") the exploration points until there is enough for the tourism center. And this goes where your power connection is at the moment, so you need to unconnect and then reconnect the power, so you should have enough stored when you try to do that.

[@Incognitus-Umbra]

🎉hurrah more water beavers

[@rfmee]

Irrigation Tower next to the original Advanced Sawmill.... keeps the Badwater away!

[@a.cunningham4974]

JC Nuclear Reactors are basically giant Steam turbines Hence the removal of the water Its evaporating the water to push turbines

[@hasanmahmud8602]

46:46 hey buddy your harvester can't reach to all of the new bamboos. Can you Build another cottage? Also you need centrifuge to synthesize the Nuclear waste to Nuclear fuel even in this modded faction!

[@bubbles69138]

in that new section you're blasting out, gathering tree's and metal.... that huge cliff... is right across the way from where you already have power run almost all the way there more batteries maybe? ;) ... the factory by the solar array isn't prioritized by haulers, you didn't up priority for the last solar ;) I think the banana's give a happiness boost

[@thomasfplm]

1:08:49 In this case, they are doing a bad job, if you see the shadow of the water-wheels, the Sun is ↙️, but the panels are facing ↘️. (Imagine if the direction changed the amount of power generated)

[@skrymerU]

The badwater pump under the has a productivity of 2%. It seems that something isn't right with it.

[@PauxloE]

I think it's only every once in a while getting a splash of bad water.

[@skrymerU]

@@PauxloE that's probably it.

[@squiredoodad]

A few things missed from the cutting spree at the start of the episode, haven't looked if they got fixed later - A bunch of removed trees by the power corridor are still marked for cutting - EDIT You found the berry bushes :D - There's a few spots marked for cutting by the lemons too, as well as some inaccessible things marked for deletion

[@squiredoodad]

38:15 I think your strong alcohol production fell because you turned your assembly line to robot parts instead of grape juice, so your wine cellar wasn't making any more wine. You can see you also have no gears because it's constantly using them. EDIT: You changed it off of robot parts, but it's still not making wine which is the main bottleneck.

[@thomasfplm]

8:30 Both pronunciations seems a bit strange to me. I think you should take the first syllable from the American one and the rest from the British one. 😂😜 Edit.: The pronunciation from Google translate seems good for me and fits the description I mentioned. For some reason it is a bit different from both the ones you showed. 😂

[@squiredoodad]

41:00 on the topic of power storage, maybe you could blast out under the batteries to store extra power? Might be important to stretch out the channel a little to avoid backing up but it's not like you're growing anything down there. Solar cells will definitely be a big help. Do Waterbeaver windmills work in a power shaft chain like you did in the last Folktails playthrough? That's probably not worth much but it's free power and already high elevation

[@Arandombrazilian-ld8rh]

Great video as aways

[@hasanmahmud8602]

52:19 another thing to note that whenever you need sawdust more, just switch to crude recipe of plank.

[@HideyHoleOrg]

delete the flooded mine, build badwater bailers around the edge, unflood, delete the bailers, rebuild mine

[@BrandonCallen]

You could add more water wheels in the river and you’ll need storage for solar cells

[@BrandonCallen]

More water storage as well

[@BrandonCallen]

Deluxe food time

[@nurmr]

1:08:05 Bananas go into Fruit Bars (made by the Fruit Bar -- one to the right of Mega Platforms)

[@aimelorvi8873]

At the area of "Waste of space" you can build storage for bananas and a little water tank. So beavers can sit on baobab bench and have a picnic.

[@thomasfplm]

48:59 Or you can just unmark for planting, and they will spread naturally.

[@Dktizano202]

4:10 -ish we have our work cut out for us. While in the process of setting up wood cutters I see what you did there😂

[@nEVER4BoRN]

You need to make power you No1 priority because now water and food are linked on power production.

[@bigpace]

How are the haulers doing? Seems like you might be lacking. 😅

[@nicholasmaher1909]

Would love to see that nuclear power plant! Might be capstone of the play through

[@jasonjazzz5]

56:45 Yesterday you said tomorrow... JUST DO IT!!

[@BrandonCallen]

More gravity battery’s on the new side of the cliff

[@rfmee]

Do you have any storage for Minty Bamboo Shoots?

[@nurmr]

1:13:55 You don't have enough tools to make wooden toys.

[@nurmr]

40:34 Nuclear Fuel is made in the Centrifuge

[@jodymartin2730]

You could put in a bunch of engines behind the giant sawmill, for when you get a drought.

[@jodymartin2730]

Nevermind, you put in solar panels there.

[@Redneck353]

RIP Moritz Kolar...

[@Redneck353]

Fun Fact, Ladders have an "injury risk" so if you can avoid using one, better do it like that

[@GwionWilliams]

Nah, mercifully, that's been removed. They're more expensive now instead. Ladders are safe to use.

[@Redneck353]

you sure about that? last i checked yes they were made more expensive but also kept the injury risks

[@GwionWilliams]

@@Redneck353 The mod creator recently said that in reply to someone saying pretty much what you said. And that that was the reason for the cost increase.

[@Lapantouflemagic0]

yeah i removed the injury risk, problem with that thing is that it caused lag, and since giant ladders to the sky are necessary for CWF stacks it would actually make them a beaver deathtrap. so yeah i figured the best way to fight ladder abuse was to make them horribly expensive.

[@sidmcmillan926]

some side platforms along the front and sides of the storage tower at the top to put in a few more gravity batteries? 🤔 if negotiating the power connection to them is feasible that is? 💓💧🦫
