EASY PLASTIC TUTORIAL for BEGINNERS in Oxygen Not Included Using Glossy Dreckos

[@TeracomConsulting]

A few things that could be improved or optimized... - If you go with a room that is 6 tall by 16 wide, you have room for 8 mealwood and all the necessary stations. - To get hydrogen into the room, instead of finding hydrogen, and pumping that across the map, just build an electrolizer in the room. Once the top 2 or 3 rows are full of hydrogen, you can deconstruct it. Since drecko ranches are normally in a base, and bases normally have water, I find it much easier to supply some water to an electrolizer than finding and pumping in Hydrogen. - With this setup, I have never had any hydrogen escape (but I tend to keep my bases fairly well pressurized.) - I normally have MANY more glossy dreckos in my evolution room. That is where most of the plastic comes from. Keeping the evolution room in 100% Hydrogen with a shearing station keeps the plastic flowing instead of just giving meat. - You only need 6-8 Mealwood to keep 8 dreckos fed. I'm not sure why you have 13. You are going through twice as much dirt as you need to. - Are you really just leaving the incubators on all the time with no automation? You realize that they only need to be powered WHILE the dupe is hugging the egg... you can turn it off between lullabies. 2 incubators running full time is almost 1000 watts. That's One and a half Coal generators running full time... Or 2.5 dupes on a wheel forever. Anyhow, I hope some of these help.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah my base has a LOT of inefficiencies lol. On the Terra asteroid you really don't need to worry about power or crunching numbers when it comes to feeding dreckos for example, so I don't mind over producing and letting things take care of themselves. In fact, I think the base is a good example of just how easy Terra can be, even with all of the points you made. I'll be starting a new asteroid sometime this week, it'll be fun to have a bit more challenge! Appreciate you stopping by!

12:19 You can save 10 watts and simplify your build if you place a High Pressure vent on the tile immediately after a gas pipe element sensor. Wire the sensor to the vent. You could set the sensor to Hydrogen, add a not gate, and anything that is not hydrogen would be ejected from the vent, while the Hydrogen would keep flowing down the pipe. Same result that you have, just don't need the gas shutoff or the power.

Good point! Appreciate your comment and suggestion!

At this point,I think this should add advice on how to make liquid lock for Drekco ranch , It's not high in temperature and needs simple beginning material. a debuff from dupe passes through liquid should not be much concerned for beginner at early game assume that they play on normal difficulty and don't do something completely wrong.

The reason I don't use liquid lock is because my dupes need oxygen to breath while they are inside working. Arguably you could set up atmo suits ahead of a liquid lock and not worry about the oxygen levels as mealwood can survive in CO2, and then you could hold the entire room atmosphere at a constant level of hydrogen/oxygen or CO2 Your idea is a great example of all of the different ways to play ONI. That's why I love the game! The purpose of this video was just to show how easily you can set it up as a beginner and seamlessly transition to glossy dreckos using the exact same farm. Thanks for the feedback!

With a 16x6 Drecko room, you really don't need a Liquid Lock. The problem with a locked drecko room is getting the balance between Hydrogen / CO2, so the plants don't stifle in the hydrogen. With the open design, there is never the possibility of the plants stifling. (Unless you have chlorine / NatGas at your CO2 boundary, and if that happens to be at the level of your drecko ranch.) It is also MUCH easier to set up. Just build an electrolizer inside it, and done... Hydrogen at the top, oxygen at the bottom.

@@ethanplays-lag agree, the slight on how players do make a different design. It does not matter in the right or wrong or efficiency, just the preference and thought process. I appreciate seeing other people's designs and how they solve the problem.
