GOTTA BIO(DOME) | Planet Crafter | Let's Play! | Ep 8

[@StyxAnnihilator]

You can place stuff in the Biodome, like storage and food growers (along the windows), saving materials and space for compartments.

[@Ayaron]

Don't ignore the rockets that give a 1000% bonus to things. That's a 10x increase that stacks with other rockets

[@varthaner4617]

He was so close too. When he got distracted by shiny yet useless (and fugly) mapping I almost went Obi Wan on him. Pressure Rocket > Aluminum Extractor would solve his current slump.

[@jsbrads1]

That’s some fat stacks 😂

[@JJII161]

I don't think he's reading these but for anyone else curious (skip if you don't want spoilers), at one point he notices he doesn't have enough uranium to make a rod for a reactor, but do you know what he does have? A rocket platform and the materials to make a rocket that will not only multiply his heat or pressure generation, but also attract meteors with uranium or iridium in them!

[@outlandishmango4622]

Looks at a rocket engine, then 10 seconds later "Am i missing something" lol love to watch Quill over think everything. love this series

[@Crosleyq]

1000% multiplier? Can't be that important.

[@joshuamullins8445]

Your Big 3 multipliers (Oxygen, Pressure and Heat) are the most import things to focus on in this stage of the game; they will unlock the most stuff for you.

[@varthaner4617]

Yeah, especially pressure untill Ore Extractor unlock (and then OE2). No pressure = you're stuck with no alu / alloy like Quill. No OE2 in Uranium cave = you power your industry with solar2 instead of nuclear.

[@urkerab]

It used to be that the T1 Biodome was the only place you could access the Biomass blueprints; right now its only advantage over the Grass Spreader is that it uses fewer Lirma Seeds for the same amount of Oxygen. Sadly deconstructing Grass Spreaders removes the grass. Oxygen notifications happen at 20 and 10 units, but of course if your tank is 280 units that's only 7% and 3½%. (Speaking of tanks, you haven't upgraded to the T4 Oxygen Tank yet.) Some of the names are indeed official in that they show up as a possible starting location, or they're mentioned in the Steam achievements, or in the patch notes. I don't remember whether they all have official names though. Generation is designed to be exponential, but the display is a little confusing as it only jumps by a factor of 1000 at a time, so it suddenly looks as if it's really slow, but at 1.75 MTi it's still probably 1000 times as fast as when it was when you had 1.75 kTi.

[@MrHPlays]

1.75MTi is indeed exactly 1000 times 1.75kTi. The k and M and p etc are all si unit prefixes you probably learnt about it science. Pa is pascals, the si unit of pressure, while K is Kelvin, the si unit of temperature.

[@urkerab]

@@MrHPlays Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough; I was trying to say that the display looks like it's ticking over slowly at 1.75 MTi but it was probably ticking at the same visual speed back at 1.75 kTi.

[@Deathraven693]

I like the balance of what you do between episodes. Doesn't take away from the episode but avoids the grinding.

[@jonreich9483]

I use my biodome for storing some food growing tubes.

[@fives2155]

18:19 yes Quill, that is exactly what has been happening

[@JJII161]

"Because it looked like something else..." Literally moused over one and the word "Aluminum" appeared on the screen. 🤣

[@akivahirsch4343]

Please upload these every day

[@danielbudney7825]

Rockets, Quill. x10 multipliers to Heat and Pressure EACH ONE.

[@Flanor]

Seems like the multiplier rockets are the new aluminium. Let's see how many episodes it takes before he builds them.

[@jaxsom12]

Got the notification while playing Planet Crafter. Quite to watch Quill play it lol. Thanks for getting me hooked on this game.

[@EEVEEwolf1]

Think you misspelled something there. Quit, Quiet, Quite. Three different words but similar with an e moved around. Just giving a heads up

[@Garsemor]

If you do restructure the base, I highly suggest using the 2x2 rooms over the 1x1 rooms your base is currently composed of, because they just slightly more room efficient and convenient to build in.

[@lukassolanko9537]

A bit of backseating: Go scout for aluminium. It's lying on the ground in the biome which you already visited. You got this! :)

[@EwMatias]

I've seen so many people go crazy about the biomass too early. Quill is right to think of the heat, but I also believe the best way to get better heat is to unlock the next tier heaters through Oxygen generation.

[@danielbudney7825]

Best way to get more Heat at this point is to build 3 or 4 Rockets which give +1000% Heat multiplier for each one.

[@Krishnath.Dragon]

@@danielbudney7825 I usually go for five of each. I go for the uranium attraction rockets first, because Uranium is the harder of the two to get on the map prior to getting mining.

[@rogerwilco4231]

It's take time to increase all stats. It is to give you time to explore the planet.

[@demonac]

I still think the #1 thing you should "between episodes" is to build a shit-ton of T1 solar panels, which I don't believe cost any aluminum. Yes, you probably need 4x as many as T2 solar panels, but for no rare materials, I would have built like 30 of them a long time ago

[@Flanor]

Aluminium is really not that rare, quill just refuses to look for it. Also at this stage of the game he can just build nuclear instead

[@demonac]

@@Flanor Isn't this literally the same video where he was like "oops, I don't have enough uranium"

[@Flanor]

He indeed doesn't have it in storage, but there is plenty around in chests over the map or he can build the rocket that says it will trigger a uranium meteor storm

[@Trumpkin777]

The time to gather the resources to make 4 little ones is better spent collecting a little aluminum for way more power output. You make a good point, but having done both ways, I suggest getting aluminum, there's plenty in the Iridium cave at the top of the hill, or the aluminum mine that was the blue area he entered, also super close.

[@tellur808]

I wonder when quill is going to realize that the first two rockets give a 1000% multiplier to heat and pressure. And iridium/uranium on top! GPS satellites are nice to map out PoIs but not really required yet

[@MTGeomancer]

He did see it when he first built it, but clearly has forgotten it. Or hasn't made the connection that it's a multiplier. It turns one heater into 10. Permanently.

[@Trumpkin777]

@quill18 I think your getting the carriage in front of the horse, the next phase is liquid water before you grow plants, I mean logically it makes sense to have water to sustain biomass...

[@OpDDay2001]

So short... it was 27 minutes but it passed so quickly.

[@OpDDay2001]

I know you recorded several in advance, so I just have to hope you realize that you should probably be upping your Pressure output (well, all the things really, but your Pressure is lagging behind and it unlocks a lot of GOOD stuff).

[@willhendrix86]

Focusing on biomass too soon, should be looking closer into the Oxygen, Pressure and heat tech trees.

[@Xoron]

You have been to several locations that contain Aluminium but just have not noticed.

[@Nitrobucket]

I placed my food growers in the biodome

[@willhendrix86]

Rule of 10, build no more than 10 of any particular generation thing. After 10, every additional machine only contributes less than 10% of all generation. Rockets should then be used.

[@Acewilco]

Sounds like you’re not just thinking locally, but you’re thinking globally

[@Xoron]

In this game no building grid is aligned...

[@General12th]

Hi Martin!

[@benjamincorey6259]

He goes to a ship section he's explored , gets lirma seeds and brings them back to home base to build grass spreaders. Why travel home? Why not just build around where he finds stashs of seed?

[@AnotherJRB]

Some people have tried that kind of strategy, but they mostly give up on it after they get more experience with the game. One of the best sources for building higher-tier machines is tearing down the earlier ones, so in the end it's more convenient to have everything nearby. For the grass spreaders, the lirma seeds in particular have more productive uses later on.

[@SolhomGamer]

I know you are avoiding spoilers but I started after you and kinda no life the game. Here to inform you that your base IS safe from the water, even if just barely. I built at a similar height.

[@jsbrads1]

What’s the cutoff? 15y?

[@SolhomGamer]

@jsbrads1 I'm not super sure about the actual height but I can see where I built in his video and eyeballing it, seems like it'd be pretty close

[@urkerab]

26y is definitely safe, as it means you're standing on a Foundation Grid whose surface isn't underwater.

[@jsbrads1]

@@urkerab is his front door 26y? I thought the bottom of his stairs was 15y

[@urkerab]

@@jsbrads1 I think his interior was 19y, which might not be high enough, but I'm not really sure, since I've not actually seen anyone build at that intermediate height before.

[@christophermartone985]

lets gooo

[@Classic_Frog]

2:55 Literally unplayable! >:(

[@zanetano]

It's a nice glass open space. I'd put my food growing things inside.
