FJ, yes radiation from glowstick will kill germs. It's one of the awesome things about glowstick dupes! I play with all glowstick dupes (map name "Glowtown"), and I don't even need working sinks for my bathrooms because the dupes quickly destroy any germs on themselves. Glowstick dupes also have a permanent "lit workspace" boost, and they automatically don't care about light when sleeping. You may have to double check that your glowstick dupe doesn't give himself radiation sickness - you can give him an extra bathroom session midday so he "removes" more radiation.

[@Lightman0359]

Since the glowstick is your cook, you could make a private bedroom right next to the kitchen, so they go straight to their post upon waking and their low rads can help keep the kitchen clean, he might even help with sewage germs a little.

[@Ichyban1]

[@RFC-3514]

3:16 - There are some situations where that can be a problem (ex., if a dupe happens to still be using the first sink - ex., because he fell asleep between the two jobs - when another exits the first toilet, that one won't wash his hands, whereas if they have to walk past 4 sinks, they'll always find a free one), but there's another, more important issue: travel times. Your toilets should be spread more or less evenly across your map, so dupes don't have to walk all the way to them and then back again. There's no advantage (other than saving a few pipes) in having them all in the same place.

[@MrVallant]

I'm used to play with the mod that makes diseases dangerous again (eg. slimelung that can kill) so I learned to be extra careful while carrying slimelung-ridden slime around. Next time, build hand washing stations right at the entrance of the slime biome (preferably with the queuing mod on) and also right outside your mushroom farm (so the people storing up the slime as well as the farmers can wash their hands). Do that and you'll (almost) never see slimelung around.

Not sure if you remember it later on, but if you add any decoration to the massage table room, it will become a massage clinic which doubles its effectiveness.

Thoughts on the bathroom layout. The reason to have all the sinks at one end is that if there happens to be someone using the first sink when the person using the first bathroom comes out, the person using the bathroom will pass by without using the sink. It's a small corner case that isn't terribly likely to happen but that's the reason I group all of the sinks together next to the door. ETA: Someone already said this, I just didn't scroll down far enough, LOL!

[@Ozmundas]

They use the first sink they come to when they are germy... so in theory they should always use their own sink. I always do the sinks beside the door also.. but this method should work just as well. (It's important to have the sinks only usable in the exit direction for this to work, and no second door)

[@alfonsneumann1878]

@@Ozmundas In the rare case one sink is not enough to remove all germs ( if a dupe comes into a bath already germ infested) Ikearbeys argument becomes valid. A small corner case of course, as he mentioned.

[@Ozmundas]

@@alfonsneumann1878 Yup ! It can also be messed up by having less bathrooms than duplicants on the same schedule... and a few other scenarios. With the way FJ plays, so long as the niche cases don't occur - the layout will work. The current germ load from the slimelung being spread around the base may cause this to happen, as he doesn't have sinks on the exit from the biome, so they could build up enough of a load of germs to require 2 washes. Once that issue is "handled" under normal conditions - it won't be an issue. Could see some food poisoning when he goes to clean up the old washroom ... time will tell :)

[@PhailRaptor]

Regarding the fact Slimelung hasn't spread, planting the Buddy Buds was absolutely the best thing you could have done. There's a hidden hierarchy for germs of which is "stronger". Buddy Buds will always kill Slimelung and Food Poisoning when the different germs are present in the same or adjacent gas tiles. It's actually more effective than tactical placement of chlorine pockets. I'm unsure how Sporechids interact with Buddy Bud, so I'm not sure which would win in that situation.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

I don't think I would ever want to put Sporechids and Buddy Bud in a fight anywhere near my dupes. But it might be nice to put a sporchids on display behind a glass wall in our dining area later on.

I have a challenge for you regarding volcanoes, if you feel so inclined. The new Geotuner building increases material output and output temperatures of geysers. Up to 5 Geotuners can target a single geyser. If you geotune a volcano 5 times, it directly outputs Rock Gas, and at double the material output of a non-geotuned volcano. Naturally, my challenge for you is to tame a Rock Gas Geyser. I would love to see what you could do with that

[@Garueri]

Oh god

[@FrancisJohnYT]

That is an awesome idea, we have three volcanoes below the base, we could geo turn the lot of them, link them together somehow and have all our power needs met by rock gas. Might have to worry about over pressure though so would need to do a lot of testing.

[@BWSC81]

If memory serves me, one potential issue with that bathroom design is the outer most toiled only has access to one sink. So if for some reason (sieve maintenance etc) occurs and an extra sink user shows up it increases the chance a dupe could get out with dirty hands. (Though maintenance back there should be pretty minimal, especially once it is automated.) tl;dr the old design just has a bit more redundancy built in.

Francis there are oxygen masks that are cheap and easy to build and you can enter slime biome without risk of the dupes getting sick.

In cleaning slime biomes, I've turned to - whatweretheycalled, I think - Wheezeworts?

I use another (mobile) one to sterilize the slime before digging it out, like you said: paranoia... ;-) It's so fast and easy now, I shudder when I remember my old complicated set-ups ;-)

[@grandfremdling3841]

You have at least one cold steam vent and some ice-biomes to cool it. I think enough water for several hundred cycles 😊

[@nematrec1]

Water pressure is a lot weaker than you're thinking. It has to be like double the height of your deepest pool to start putting pressure damage on even the weakest materials. Random Hydra-SPOM tip I just picked up: Put oxygen to go up, and hydrogen to go down. This way if it bugs out and outputs in the wrong direction the offending gas to float away and will correct itself. The fully concealed geysers usually aren't influenced by the biome they're in. Unless the neutronium is three wide (for minor volcanoes on the small asteroids) and 5 wide (when it's the metal volcanoes on the small forest asteroid and small marsh asteroid), then you can assume all concealed geysers are random. The guaranteed water sources are never fully covered, only random ones are.

You can actually save a morale point on your rancher, since if they have the Tier 2 skill trait they don't need the Tier 1 skill to get the Tier 3 skill. Normaly that doesn't matter, but tier 1 of the ranching skill tree actually doesn't give any bonus to ranching, just to farming. Those vents may be more useful than you think! If you look at the skill tree and newer research, you'll find the Geotuner which can increase the amount of material and temperature output by a vent, geyser, or volcano. You can make some interesting farms with that, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. By the way, did you activate the new story traits? If so you'll eventually need a Master Artist to activate one of them.

For either a press or a geothermal purifier. Also a lot of meat if my eyeball-math is right. Its like if hatches had a sub-species that could eat coal, at like half the rate per Calorie. Gonna feed that tree so many bugs. Instead of cooking it into BBQ, i'm actually thinking to make it into Omelets, because If i understand correctly, eggs/omelettes will auto-cook under the right circumstances.

Yeap radiation kills germs but as I've seen, it only kills surface germs and any that are inside pipes or storages survive somehow, that's why I always make a "walkway" for contaminated water with 1 or 2 gass traps with at least 10 shine bugs in each before pumping it in pipes.

Hey Francis, you made me to start a new playthrough again after a decent while, the DLC in its original state just did not sit right with me, but with the "classic" asteroids its back closer to the game I loved again. That aside, in case no one has advised you on that yet, there's a purely visual mod called "True Tiles" by Aki, that adds textures for nearly all the buildable tiles for nearly all materials. Having used it for a couple hours now it really makes me wonder why it wasn't part of the base game, since for one it just looks gorgeous and for the other it makes it a lot more visually clear what stuff is built from (which came in handy when setting up stuff that involved magma and obsidian).

[@Quyzbuk86]

Rule of thumb that I always follow if I have access to bleach stone, instead of doing just a sink line followed by toilets, I put a hand sanitizer at each end so that I can have unrestricted entrances on both sides without worrying that some lazy dupe is going to wipe toilet leftovers all over my base. One less sink, double the confidence I won't suddenly have food poisoning showing up. For added safety, I also put one at each entrance of my great halls too as redundancy in case the dupe lines to the bathroom somehow manage to let one through or some other oversight creates a problem low on my priority list. Triple redundancy even if I'm running a mushroom farm and the slime isn't already going to be sterilized before delivery.

Can you explain why you are hesitant to overpressurize electrolyzer? It seems pretty convenient. Also really hope you maximize those hydrogen and co2 vents. There has to be a way to benefit from them

[@FrancisJohnYT]

It's more of a future proofing thing at first. ONI had a lot of exploits in the early days that people use to use to play the game. I tried to stick more inside the developers intent (up to a point) so that designs were less likely to be made redundant by patches and updates. Best example I can think of is nuclear waste, I will use the liquid vent exploit to compress it so I can have lots of rads. I just find rad collection annoying otherwise. But for O2 production I can make lots of O2 using a standard electrolyzer setup without any exploits. If I can do something the legit way without it being a chore or more fun another way, then I tend to go that way.

One problem I've experienced with the Toilet1/Sink1/Toilet2/Sink2 type of set-up is if a dupe is using Sink2 while another dupe finishes up at Toilet 2 they will just skip washing themselves up. I tried this because I also enjoyed the symmetry but had to change back eventually. Something you've probably already noticed I figure.

Dupes get sore back if the sleep on the floor not if they narco nap and they get debuffs with sore back as well

You can leave the door open to a room and the dupe doesnt have to wait, losing a second or so of time.

Glow stick cook, extra sanitary

[@mchelpa]

I've been doing a max difficulty all achievement run, I've got the big three done and am now taking my time with the rest. Depends on their exact job, but narcoleptic can be one of the less impactful traits, I've had one as the cook since the start and barely noticed.

[@Garueri]

is the big three oxygen food and morale? also, do you know how long narcoleptics sleep per cycle?

[@FrancisJohnYT]

From my testing way back, Narcoleptics learn skills about 7-10% slower than their non Narco counterparts. Getting interrupted regularly like that causes them to have their jobs stolen from them when they nap, so more walking and less time working and skilling up. Might also be due to dropping items all the time, it's the worse when they drop critters, hot rocks and magma.

@@Garueri The Carnivore, Locavore, and Super Sustainable achievements. Those are the three it’s easiest to permanently miss. Biggest risk to getting all achievements is the low chance a plant or a critter I need doesn’t show up in my seed. Narcoleptics sleep the same, just not always in a bed, and even get a morale bonus from narcoleptic sleep, but it’s the unpredictable timing on that sleep that causes issues. So narcoleptic haulers, for example, will drop things all over the place. A cook that doesn’t generally go anywhere might even be better off than a non-narcoleptic.

@@FrancisJohnYT once a narco of mine slept with magma inside a liquid airlock, depending on what airlock you use and where they sleep, there is a chance he entombs himself and suicides
