Watching a video about a concept I'll probably never be good enough to use

[@GCFungus]

I'm sure you'll get there, especially with our awesome community!

Do 20 colonies

Stop bruning your brain and time up on league of legends and maybe you have a chance. Only the right amount of hate was intended. That game will eat you up if you aren't pro.

Thank you for this. BTW, there's a quicker and easier way to get to the Niobium in the Superconductive Asteroid: Steel Rovers can dive in magma without melting. Use them, along with brought or mined Obsidian, to build a solid path of tiles to push the magma around. Then you can partially deconstruct the tiles in the middle to make a tunnel down to the Niobium tiles.

[@GCFungus]

Thanks for the input, that does indeed sound easier - I always avoid rovers myself because generally I think dupes are better, but in this instance it makes a lot of sense.

[@awoodby]

OMG, i should have read the comments BEFORE I just did my first niobium planet! game changer!

[@mrjblacc85]

You can also use rovers to setup a door crusher at the bottom of a (shallow part of the) magma pool. You do still need dupes to actually build the automatic doors, though so expect some scalding and prepare for triage. But I've used this to drain massive amounts of magma in only a couple cycles

[@lairasan7467]

I love how one eruption of a niobium volcano has more niobium than the whole asteroid so its worth taming it early on

[@GCFungus]

True, but also 5kg of niobium can make infinite thermium by using the metal refinery to convert it back into niobium. So as long as you have unlimited tungsten (which you'll need for large amounts anyway) then the niobium isn't that important. That's why I'd always prefer taming the tungsten volcanoes on the marshy planetoid rather than the niobium one, but it does produce a lot of metal!

[@k.w.8496]

I just love these calmly spelled out information in details!

[@IvoryFrank]

Thank you for this tutorial series. I really notice the effort and love you put on it. I hope your channel keeps growing as well as the ONI community 🙂

[@eneskaya5438]

I really love your totorial nuggets series. Please make them more often. I am looking forward for a sour gas boiler video.

[@GCFungus]

Thanks for the support! I am trying to make them as quickly as I can but the production takes a long time to do properly.

[@downey6666]

Masterpiece of effective delivery for beginners

[@Davini994]

I would describe these little videos as "information dense" . Very good!

[@callummcneill6266]

This is a very good series that is more clear than others

[@GramatonMetlar]

Thank you for this kinds of tutorial. Especially for "contraptions" like boiler and tamers and such.

[@sirdart6915]

One note about boiling resin into isoresin it produces another byproduct, steam. This will overpressure your steam room eventually so be sure to have a way to remove steam from the room and recapture it as water you can cool down to reasonable temps.

[@GCFungus]

Yep a good point - I mentioned it but didn't focus on it. Of course the gas level itself will keep increasing, so depends on whether overpressuring is an issue to nearby buildings. But definitely a good idea to deal with the steam somehow.

[@Ghaz002]

"reed fiber will likely be the bottleneck for making insulation in the base game" "oh cool, there must be some crazy fiber farm in spaced out that I didn't know about" > the fuckin resin tree needs 90k calories a day "oh"

[@GCFungus]

Oh yes, and that's only 90k kcal if you give it the best foods. Any lower quality less dense food and you get even less resin!

[@ProWhitaker]

very good, thanks for the video, these recipies have been doing my head in.

[@vanessavidal6520]

Nice video! i love your tutorials, i usually put them on the background while playing ONI, ill just say one thing, in a recent update the insulation material was changed to insulite, Great video though!

[@blacklight683]

when your siblings want some of your food: 7:40

[@NXValiant]

Great tutorial. In my last playthrough, however, I never needed any space material other than super coolant (which is super useful) - all seem to be really limited to some niche applications, or am I wrong?

[@GCFungus]

In general, the need for space materials is certainly limited. Realistically you can make a case for thermium and super coolant, as thermium lets you make builds you can't otherwise, e.g. aquetuner petroleum boilers or sour gas boilers. Insulation, visco-gel and plastium are more nice to haves at all stages, but they certainly are convenient in the right application.

[@gamebuster800]

What stuff were they on when they came up with that tree

[@cowboybeeboopbop]

Is there an efficient isoresin boiler setup that takes the steam out as well? I dont really have any industrial blocks setup on this planetoid yet, I just wanna make something only for boiling isoresin, and possibly making water from it

[@GCFungus]

To be honest I've not made one so I don't have a specific design to share. I'd suggest you'd need either heating method I covered in the heating Tutorial Bite, so an aquetuner or tricked out tepidizer. Then I'd suggest recovering steam with a steam turbine which you can control with a thermo sensor and atmo sensor.

[@cowboybeeboopbop]

@@GCFungus thanks a bunch. Tbh, I built a whole system using a tepidizer, but I put the resin in there not know that tepidizers dont go over 86C, so now I gotta go and re build all my shit. Ill try that out, so what do something where it shuts down the liquid vent if theres more than XKGs of steam or something? Im wanting to make a whole colony on this planetoid to automate the tree and I just need a source of water for my dudes

[@GCFungus]

@cowboybeeboopbop Just be careful with numbers as the tree can make a max of 350kg/cycle of steam. I would use a hydro sensor to control the resin input vent. Then a thermo sensor to control the tricked tepidizer or aquetuner. And I'm not sure if the steam turbine needs to be controlled or not but use that to remove the excess steam.

[@cowboybeeboopbop]

@@GCFungus the plan was to use a turbine to remove excess steam, but ive just been trying to figure out how to do so. Like maybe if i have a atmo sensor and two turbines, so that when its over x amount of steam that it shuts one turbine off that refills the room with steam and turns the other one on? Or is that too complicated and I dont need to do that much

[@GCFungus]

@cowboybeeboopbop I think that's a sensible starting point but you can do it with one turbine. Just route the water line through a liquid vent and set the liquid vent to open if below 20kg of steam. The rest of the water will then just continue down the pipe.

[@renatoalves2296]

have never i ever arrived too late in the game! i'd like so much to work with the materials. i think the isolant is not even necessary how refined metal, because we can work in vacun, and is so hard to obtain.

[@G.r.e.g.g.l.e.s]

They made that womping willow way too hungry

[@GCFungus]

It certainly does take a lot of calories to make an appreciable amount of visco-gel or insulation, so better get working on some giant farms!

[@marcosda4th92]

I can barely make steel why am I watching this

[@GCFungus]

Well I'm hoping you get to make this someday! And I've got you covered for steel in another video.

[@marcosda4th92]

@@GCFungus thank you for that motivational push. I managed to get some iron and steel today after finally pushing through the mid game. All was well until I heated my pool of polluted water and all the pipes burst due to steam. Still, starting new is one of my favorite things in this game. Gonna watch your steel vid for tips, maybe heating/cooling again. Either way, thanks for the amazing tutorial bites.

Sadly my pc usually dies before I get to the point of crafting them😂the second I get to my 2nd planet my pc starts struggling even when I do my best to make it not

[@GCFungus]

Ah sad times, maybe fewer dupes might help a little? Or if not then some sweet new hardware :D

[@blacklight683]

@@GCFungus i mean in that world I only had 7dupes 4on the main planet and 3 on the 2nd one(it was over 600cycels old)

[@GCFungus]

Ouch, that's quite few dupes to be having such performance issues! I guess the only thing that would help at this point is really a hardware upgrade, it sounds like yours must be quite old at this point to be running so slowly. I should also recommend the fast track mod as it did help my performance notably: forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/138444-beta-fast-track-performance-mod-for-oxygen-not-included/

[@blacklight683]

@@GCFungus ok then ty. I will hopefully upgrade it in the next 2-3years😂 until then I guess I will try my best to have as little dupes as possible and not explore the map so it doesn't load in

[@awoodby]

well remember to come back to the game when you update, as eventually happens. I run 4 planets and 40 dupes and alll the stuff. Viewing water flows is kind of chunky but doable for sure.

[@ethanblack5642]

I comment to help statistics

[@shaneh1003]

Super coolant and Visco-gel are the only space material-made items I've ever found a use for. The other stuff is completely pointless. Insulation is a complete rip-off joke.

[@Neon-ws8er]

these sound both cheaty and annoying to obtain

[@GCFungus]

Well they're super powerful late game materials, so I wouldn't really say cheaty, but they are clearly designed to be very good. That's also why they're more difficult to get, to make it worth it.
