Oxygen Not Included - HARDEST Difficulty #9 - Desalinator Setup (Oasisse) [4k]

[@bazerger6258]

When you fill up a loop, you'll want to use a bridge to connect to the actual loop instead, since the bridge exit always yields, it won't overfill it to the point of clogging, and you can cleanly remove the connection when it's full.

[@jrleonicleonard4791]

Can’t help but say thanks. Your videos have me a huge help with this game, and helped me better understand the mechanics. You rock

[@dchiab818]

Can you do a single video where you use sandbox mode to make the best base in your mind? BTW great video.

[@GrindThisGame]

yes!

[@probablynotmyname8521]

For new dupes, give them advanced research first which gives +20% to levelling. Then create a small room with a hamster wheel powering a light above the wheel, put a master statue on both sides of the wheel and put a door that only the new dupe can get through. The new dupe will power through levelling very quickly and have high athletics, just ensure that you stop them getting out of the base. Once i have exosuits i use this method to get the dupes skilled up to use them.

[@MSoave]

That is fine when you have a good established colony, but when you're just getting started you can't afford to feed and oxiginate a dupe who is providing zero labor.

[@Jensenrobinb]

@@MSoave i mean like they are making the electricity

[@DiggerDan]

Always nice to see progress made!

[@sixtoplacencia3576]

Thanks for the videos!! also for posting new ones so quickly.

[@TheGalifrey]

Always fill your cooling loops using a bridge from the source directly to the loop and they won't lock up.

[@MikhailShevtsov]

Also adding bypass solves lock up issue.

[@dyn_sh0tix]

New video out, instantly have to watch it 👍🏽

[@jese3608]

It’s insane how much faster things get done on this play-thru compared to that hardest mode series you did awhile back.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah its refreshing. But in some ways I feel Im using new tech as fast.

[@FDG323]

200kg of table salt per meal seems a little like instant heart failure but I overuse salt so to each their own

[@khaoliang]

you overlooked that the rock crusher turns 100kg of rock salt into only 5 grams of table salt and 100kg of sand. That's why he said "a ton of salt for ten meals" since every meal apparently requires 5g of table salt...

[@commonsense-og1gz]

instead of boiling the salt water, i would use it for a small waterweed crop. the value of lettuce is 4800 kcals, and the tolerance is up to 65 C.

[@jasonhodges9546]

Seriously watched this... when he was refilling the pipe I knew he was going to lock it up the second he stop focusing on it haha

[@xBLiNDBoi]

Doing my own run of this... Irregular oil, miscalculated pod and fewer geysers if I recall right. Got lucky with a cool stream vent near base so I have a good enough source of water for a electrolyzer. Got my base fairly stable but I would prefer my dups to have exo suits. Have not found any drekos or reeds. Exploring and building outside my base is harsh. The lack of gold, sort of forced to go steel for anything important. So in a sense the irregular oil made finding fossils for lime easier... But the heat management is a total ouch at times.

[@mrosiivz4164]

Keep going 🙏❤

[@S_Black]

* You can add a pressure sensor to the mushroom farm. Generally you could work your way up to space and vent the CO2 there instead of skimming it. That saves power and heat * Indirectly, using fertilizer does save slime. Because you need less plants to feed the dupes * Now that you enclosed the electrolyzer you don't need really the second filter. Eventually there will only be two gasses in there. But the easiest way to separate hydrogen and oxygen is passively with a gas lock.

[@stefanb155]

Are mushrooms really worth doing ? I never tried them because imo there are so many downsides. Have to be in CO2, so dupes alway have to hold breath. The slime… Its limited quantity, usually quite far away from base, gases off polluted air, often has slime lung germs. Just nasty stuff to deal with, prefer turning it to alge outside the base over bringing it in for shrooms. I prefer going for some sustainable food like gristleberry or omelette/meat right away.

[@S_Black]

Gristleberry is good, but not here as it needs water. Shrooms don't need much slime and there is lots and lots of it on the map (also renewable with pufts). Mining slime isn't actually that difficult if you sheer the biome into the polluted water pool. Offgassing can be prevented by putting the storage bin in a tile of water or having a high enough gas pressure. The slimelung is more iffy. It doesn't actually matter for the shrooms as it has to be inhaled to hurt the dupes. Dupes that handle it may want to wash their hands though. It's also possible to automate the slime supply with autosweepers later on. My biggest pet peeve is the priority conflict when you try to supply shroom farms with slime and also a chlorine room to disinfect it. Because the game doesn't have a "don't put germy stuff into here" setting. Seems the only solution is conveyor rails

[@fareed1249]

you should tune down every priority by 3 . so you can use priority 9 for real emergency things .. do you remember, you rosted biffa for priority 9 .

[@GrindThisGame]

I did...but he was on normal settings and killing dupes!

[@fareed1249]

@@GrindThisGame ok that's fair I guess

[@EzequielZacca]

you could save a lot of power by either making filterless oxygen generation or making powerless gas filters, i think it woudl help a lot, also you had a great idea for making an overflow bypass for your cooling loop, that wouldve been really smart

[@MikhailShevtsov]

Make smooth hatches farm. They are very efficient in terms of making refined metals.

[@TheGalifrey]

If you are making ethanol then you should farm some pokeshells to eat the polluted dirt and make lime. Best way to deal with polluted dirt.

[@TheGalifrey]

@@bill_the_butcher I used to do the same but coal is fairly useless after early game so sage hatches are usually hatched and murderised now 😂

[@ransia.falavir]

I tend to dislike wasting gas by spewing into space. I use ethanol in an aquatuner cooling loop to condense excess CO2 to feed large slicker farms.

[@S_Black]

Those aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Slickster ranches are quite far in the future here. You can vent into space early on and later redirect the CO2 elsewhere. Also doesn't hurt to still vent stuff like chlorine

[@problame2249]

I’m a fan of the calmer priorities lol.

[@mr.invisible5874]

Thank you for the videos, its very educational :) Also

[@Helicard]

I started a new map right after the full release of the game. I saved to map so I could restart from Day 1 if I got bored. While exploring, I found: - 2 cool shush geysers, - 2 Natural Gas geysers, - 2 more cool water geysers, - 2 gold geysers, - 2 Hydrogen Vents - 1 iron volcano. What more could I ask for. I had everything I needed until February 5 update. I restarted from my Day 1 saved map again and every geyser was changed

[@GrindThisGame]

that sucks

[@adeeeel6]

You should download the pliers mod to help you better manage pipes and wires. It is a must have mod in my opinion and helps improve quality of life by a ton.

[@MagnusFaustus]

Looks like your industrial zone needs a great deal of cooling or you're going to have a runaway heat production problem. Hot machines produce hot products... So if you can drop their temperature down to room temperature or lower, you should make that a priority.

[@roughridersak]

You could create a new schedule for your two Early Bird dupes to get the extra bonus.

[@LifeLong242]

Whats the black stuff going through the cooling oxygen also making and destroying hydrogen sort of mechine?

[@LifeLong242]

I just realized at 17:00 the two closest statues to the portal are... weird.

[@Merkyor]

gasses cool and heat pretty easily compared to liquids. the salt water could cool the polluted oxygen no problem

[@GrindThisGame]

good point. just need a pump that doesnt overheat. I guess its free oxygen.

[@Monopia43]

Could you use the 500° oxygen to boil the salt water seal off the tank and make steam?

[@eyoja7868]

Good and all but you really should enable caves dude. Better explore those ruins as well :)

[@bringtheideas460]

Put aquatuners in insulated room and put steam turbines on ceiling of that room. In theory aquatuners should waporize water and produce steam that would get eaten up by turbines destroying some heat in the proces.

[@bringtheideas460]

I am testing this on my colony. I am trying to cool whole salt water geyser with it.

[@TheGalifrey]

@Silver_Skree put a thin layer of oil or petroleum in the bottom of the steam room. Use Gold Amalgam or steel until you have thermium or niobium.

[@bringtheideas460]

Thanks for your advice. I will try that with oil or just leave it until I have better materials.

[@mirlivaanafor6659]

@Silver_Skree u should oil surface to reduce heatin on aquatuner

[@Pepe-pm6kn]

@@TheGalifrey you will never need anything other than steel if you do it correct.

[@capester]

I think you really want to have the bypass on the aquatuner, that seems to be the nicest way of keeping the loop constantly flowing. I'm also voting for turning down all your priorities by 3 lol. "I'll make this a low priority" then setting it to 6 isn't really "low" since that's still 1 above default ("normal" in my head) priority.

[@stefanb155]

I think your desalinator is running quite inefficient. Only small amount of water goes trough since it only supplies 2 electrolyzer, and it merges with output of sieve as well. But it uses full power all the time regardless. Should put a few buffer tanks in the desalinator output and automate it with clock or liquid pipe element sensors. Same for sieves, you have a lot of them, 2 directly in base. One is enough for 5 co2 scrubbers. Again, i like collecting polluted water in a few tanks, and if they are full, let one sieve run until they are empty again. (Automated) not only saves power, but also dupe time running to them topping of filtration material. Imo you should also use all the hydrogen for power now. There is no point in saving it. Gas tanks take up so much space, yet contain relatively little gas. Better save up lots of water, so that you can turn it to LOX/LH quickly later. (And a big insulated pool of water is also a good heat sink/dump)

[@GrindThisGame]

I will try a few of these out.

[@NK-bf9wo]

for pipes and wires, instead a full line of a pipe or wire draw dots and then connect the dots . in this case you would use half of the material.its a good and fair cheat :)

[@Ikar2022]

Pozdrawiam

[@par1631]

if you leave a tile in between the insulation and pull a vacuum wont the heat have no way to transmit to the base?

[@stefanb155]

Dont even have to build those time intensive inulated tiles in this case ;-) Problem i think is to create the vaccum, forget pumping it out. Best is to make an liquid lock, vaccum out a small space behind it, and dig around the base afterwards from there. (Start digging in vaccum, all you dig out will also be vacuum, unless you hit bleach stone etc.) But i also think that this and double insulation would be overkill. Just dig a „trench“ around the base, so that only hot gas, and not hot solid tiles have contact to the one layer of insulation. And then close it up so dupes will never bring in any of the dug out hot material inside.

[@S_Black]

He already has trouble getting things done. Insulated tiles take ages to build

[@relic7837]

[@josec3170]

GtG what are your thoughts on geforce now?

[@kentwillan]

Why don't you move your mushroom farm out of your base to somewhere cool outside? Because right now when dupe go to work there, they can't breath and it's kinda lower the dupe's efficiency, don't you think?

[@fredyy]

I would bet the starvation warnings stopped, because you stopped using emergencies so often. emergencies force dupes to skip downtime until the work is done. so no time to eat/sleep/pee only work.

[@stormsoda635]

Hey, have you heard about that "litecoin foundation" scam that has been going on? Brothgar has got his channel stolen because of that! So, maybe make a video about it? Edit: maybe make a backup channel yourself
