Oxygen Not Included - HARDEST Difficulty #16 - Oil Refining - Launch Upgrade (Aridio) [4k]

I start a new base on one of the hardest asteroids (Aridio) using the hardest difficulty settings possible. It should make for an interesting playthrough. Can we survive in Oxygen Not Included?
In this video:
set up an oil refining room to make petroleum
added pincha peppernuts to soak up polluted water
broke into the frozen core

[@mrohach]

they always stand at machines where the power outlet is. so thats how you can figure out where to put the pressure plates

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

That duplicant that just stands around looking at oil thing has the worst job, it remind me of those lifetime dead end jobs F

[@Premortal_Blight]

Do the cold map! I've been working through it on my own, and I've loved it. I'd love to see how you solved some of the same problems. Also, do you know if there's a ONI discord/do you have a discord?

[@GrindThisGame]

Ok! I have a discord see vid description and yeah oni has one. link in their forums.

[@Joao-ds2nh]

I think you should connect all your Natural Gas Generators (geyser and oil refinery) to the Natural Gas Buffers before feeding it to the Power Generators and that grilling thing. That way you get a more stable flow of Natural Gas. You also forgot the Hydrogen geyser xD Nice gameplay btw

[@GrindThisGame]

Good idea. the nat gas cavern is sort of my buffer right now :)

[@JJS563]

Love your power setup. Also, because youve shown you can cool your base without the ice core means you now can use the ice core with no guilt. Geegee

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah Im going to tame that icey beast.

[@firerazer383]

Hello! Thanks for this quality content! Some random remarks that hit me on this vid: - There is a decor malus for non-sweep items... instead of building more statues around the refinery, sweep the place will help a lot also ;) - I question the fact that power activation windows are not overlapping for power generation on smart batteries, especially when you say that if needed, all machines will be functioning at full tilt. If you want to have that, all machines should start at batteries below 20, coal stop at 40, petroleum at 60 and natural gas at 80. This will be en efficient "all machines works at the same time when power pic". but this means that all will work, and coal will not be saved and will be consumed. So having all machines running when power pic and resource-saving to use the more abundant first seems to not be compatible with the automation batteries offers... Anyway, you should let the systems overlap "a little" on their automation window to be sure to not trap yourself into a unique power mode :)

[@Daeon108]

You know what would be cool if Klei added in "reclamation" tiles. letting you restore the natural tiles from your inventory of stuff. That way the asteroid wouldn't look like swiss cheese at the end of a play through.

[@DeepakGuzzula]

Finally caught up. I usually watch your vids over a nice cup of Coffee and it's very relaxing and had to cover your previous unfinished series and this one. Really enjoy it. Also two things I wish to suggest if you read this 1. I know you have to play at max speed to keep your vids at 1 hr and you are also recording but maybe pause or slow down every 10-15 mins to reassess. Might cut down silly errors or things you may have neglected 2. Do build a conveyor system for storage mainly cause I wish to see one done from scratch and it will help later when you move to rockets. Also Subbed!

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks and will try to do both suggestions.

[@DiggerDan]

Thank you for this series Grind This Game! It has been a great joy to follow! Also congrats on 45K!

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks. 50k is 30 days away at this pace!

[@rehmaja]

I'm voting for Rime, we don't need another toasty map. The only reason I would want oasis is to see a larger cooling loop but maybe you'll expand the one on this map?

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah Rime will be next I think. Should be fun and new and "cool"

[@helstromh]

You can put a door in front of you exo suits to limit the dupes that can use them. That way, only dupes with "exo suite training" can get an exo suite.

[@rexawrex4947]

Frozen asteroid definitely. I'm doing one with that right now and it has very different challenges to the others. It's surprisingly difficult to warm anything up, the heat output is no match for the cold surroundings

[@anonviewerciv]

Think I'm definitely starting to see a progression in this game. Metal and oil processing seem to be a sort of intermediate industrial stage before the more technical developments of space travel.

[@GrindThisGame]

yup there are definite phases.

[@andrewmorden9528]

I say Rime next..Almost all the other streamers are doing oassis so its got the been there done that feel

[@GrindThisGame]

Leaning towards rime based on feedback.

[@HeikkiOhinmaa]

25:40 actually the way you set up the minimum activation percentages in the batteries, it will never all come on at the same time, which is also why your natural gas was backing up while burning ethanol.

[@GrindThisGame]

I will review that thanks.

[@edwardji-dev]

54:45 Grind This Game: max difficult isn't hard for me, it just slows me down. Always me: normal difficulty is hard enough for me...

[@larrylindgren9484]

Should make a battery floor in your power grind. That why you power plants aren't running non-stop. It would smooth out the power draw.

[@Ylistalo]

If you want more difficulty next time, then disable the care packages. Also do Rime next.

[@Trixz79]

Great work, learning alot as a new player (if only I can remember it all). Anyway, the things that are freezing at the core I guess is the core melting at the top, and when the water starts till fall, it freezes back to ice. So it's ice drops that keeps falling. Wonder if each piece is a separate object in the game, if thats the case it will start to lag things up over time I guess. Keep up the good work!

[@GrindThisGame]

The core is sealed in abyssalite which transfers 0 heat.

[@Trixz79]

Grind This Game but you just put down a ladder through it?! So the heat presses into your hole, melts the ice, starts to drop, turns back to ice. Forgot you just did that? 😉

[@Trixz79]

Look 55 min into the video

[@johnmason19913]

Thank you about your guides! It's really helful.

[@paweh.3681]

Voting for Rime! Also would be nice to see some transit tubes.

[@GrindThisGame]

will be adding soon...and plastic beds

Ha! Snappy saved Red!! Redeemed!

[@Flahart02]

34:38 I love how Red build the block to lock herself

[@GrindThisGame]

Dupes do the silliest things.

[@centopus]

The ice one next. Use them heaters!

[@silphy2677]

I don't know if that helps, but... in my last game I got slickster eggs from the portal so I made a room inside my base for a ranch. I pomped all my CO2 into the room (I didn't even bother making liquid lock). At the beginning pressure was high (like 10kg high), but as soon as they multiplied I run out of CO2. I mean if I am not wrong their consumption rate increases very much when they are tamed. It would probably be enough if you just made a ranch down where you have them now. Ya, it takes some dupo-time but worked very well for me.

[@GrindThisGame]

Did they stay the oil making variant without being hot?

[@silphy2677]

@@GrindThisGame At first sure. I have not seen longhair slicksters for some tens of cycles. But with time there started to come some eggs of them which I immediately cooked. The CO2 was pomped from my petrolium generator, plastic making and so on. It was quite hot. Room was isolated and started at around 40C. I was also using eggs incubator for slicksters eggs. I'd have to check but I believe that despite the temperature, their reproduction ratio don't change dramatically.

[@larrylindgren9484]

Your really don't need the cooling loop that cold. 25 is more than enough because when it turns on and comes out it's 10. You're going to end up freezing the water in your loop then you'll have more problems. Frozen core for what? It's ice. You don't need the ice. You've seen ice before:)

[@dovenart7546]

Do the Rime map next! I haven't seen anyone else do it yet :D

[@GrindThisGame]

Ok :)

[@magnuscarlsson9969]

Oassise will probably be boring to record, since you can't do much unless lucky with Printables since the heat will kill your dupes outside of the start biome without at least cold shirts but preferably exosuits and the start biome don't have any access to fiber. Unless you do something cheesy like adding salt oceans and Large glaciers etc. I'd say rime with Frozen core + Large Glaciers for the super cool world effect, cold won't kill your dupes if you decide to do some exploring. My Oassise are pretty cold now thou due to the mass cloning of Dense Puft's those little buggers keep being cold and inhales hot oxygen and poops out ~20 degree oxygen which makes them fly around like wheezworths deleting 50-60 degrees like magic... I just keep releasing them instead of eating them, making them reproduce themselves each one I release manage to lay one egg before reverting to wild when they will just lay one more egg. However It's two more permanent critters, think there's like 80+ of them now.

[@steeneugenpoulsen8174]

You might want to sit down and really look at the priority system. Tidying is a seperate Job Category, setting a Tidy job to priority 9 is NO DIFFERENT than setting it to priority 1. Tidy/Mob and Disinfect is the 3 things that is covered by Tidying,. The smart thing to do is to set Tidy to Very High Job Priority and have most other jobs avoid very high priority, that way you don't have to set priority EVERY again, but can just make tidy/mob/disinfect jobs, making 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 priority is ALL the *same*.

[@GrindThisGame]

when I set it to 9 they seem to do it right away vs. 1 .. never.

[@alexandersen1372]

i really doubt liquid locks would ever be gone completely. technically a 323 box of water with a small wall jutting down the middle (hence not a true 3x3) would make a liquid lock even if they "fixed" the current version. again if the airlocks actually worked this wouldn't be a problem, then again there are several things that would be nice quality of life things (like a liquid tap that could get liquid out of a pipe in bottle form) edit: hmm if you dumped the natural gas geyser line into the tanks then output the tanks to the generator/ general output then you would have less backup. even if it did backup then you still have the "natural tanks" where they are located. but then again you could just make more generators. personally i think its best to have buffer tanks and filter pipes (to prevent problems) but then designing things right the first time prevents that. (for example

[@colamanodoy4775]

how about the wallpaper to cover the pipe and cable? is that helping with the decor? or not really?

[@LWT1331]

I can't get the turbine/aquatuner setup to work. My tuner overheats even with steel. Maybe my radiator loop is too big and I need a second setup? Also the turbine gets too hot (100 degrees celcius) very quick.

[@GrindThisGame]

how much steam do you have in your aquatuner room?

[@NadiaCBorba]

Do you stream while recording your videos? Just curiosity =)

[@GrindThisGame]

Nope...I do stream very rarely on KZbin though.

[@McNamaraHerp]

Diamond tempshift plates... what was their decor level?

[@menasadek9398]

if you put more water in the aquatuner, would it make the steam turbine push out more power and cool the loop more?

[@GrindThisGame]

do you mean more water for steam? not sure. it depends on heat and pressure but I dont know the perfect ratios. I guess I should google it :)

[@MyPoken]

The cold one, whatever it is

[@GrindThisGame]

ok. rime is it.

[@beepboopKP]

Oasis seems like it would be fun. Plus oasis just sounds cooler haha

[@kalez238]

Do you really need an atmo sensor for the carbon scrubbers? They stop working once there is no carbon anyway. I would like to see you play the cold world next.

[@helstromh]

I believe they are more efficient when engulfed with carbon dioxide. That means, if you have the spare refined metal, automate it to save on energy.

[@fatmanflying]

Rime. next would love to see the need to heat things up instead of cool them down.

[@kryptonikhd3550]

Who else facepalmed when he forgot to enable auto bottle for the liquid lock

[@GrindThisGame]

I did.

[@Old-Space-Engineer]

Love the cooling system been meaning to test it my self, No we need to wait for klei do add is to age the dups too ie hard core lol would be cool.

[@GrindThisGame]

aging would be neat. generations of dupes every...110 cycles?

[@MascotCoding]

A vote for rime! Nice video!

[@helstromh]

Rhime is n"ice", but there are volcano's on the planet that you can tame fairly easily for heat. Also the liquid tepidizer is an awesome. On top of all that, the planet is slimelung free, due to the cold killing all the germs. As a matter of fact I see him trying to cool things off more, which in rhime, you can almost ignore. I do not believe he should have any problem.

[@MascotCoding]

@@helstromh Yeah, sure, I don't belive it's about finding the most painful scenario. I'm pretty confident, he can handle what comes on any map but everyone is playing oasis right now. It would be great to see something different and maybe he could invent some homemade rules for the map to make it more exciting.

[@timolive1]

You can make decor levels better with wallpaper

[@rattslayer]

whats a little high voltage electricity and water?

[@GamingToastVarietyChannel]

Why don't use abyssalite tiles like you say in basically every guide doing with heat

[@stealthkillertoxic4090]

Why do you make 2 bottle emptiers for liquid locks

[@GrindThisGame]

good question....1 would be enough.

[@coldwetn0se172]

One vote for Oasis. ;)

[@eziognc9426]

is there any use for chlorin?

[@kefaise6313]

You can clean polluted water out of germs. Feed it to pufts, which make bleach stone, then fertilize waterweed.

[@GrindThisGame]

and make food for gassy moos

[@S_Black]

There are some plants that only grow in chlorine. It also cleans infected slime in containers within a cycle or two. It's a bit tricky though. If the air pressure isn't high enough the slime will gas off polluted oxygen and in some way the chlorine is actually consumed then. Best stored in a very small room only accessed from the top, so it doesn't drift around. Generally it's a nuisance though and hard to get rid of

[@withertdm]

You should stop mealwood u have good food now And put fertilizer

[@drivecFC]

main ladder looks like its not connected near the middle
