Horay! Best part of Official Release? OFFICIAL TUTORIALS by Cryptic Fox! Thanks for the EXCELLENT content!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Thanks Po :)

[@kristelsteemans6748]

Good tutorial for new players. To avoid having water spills when removing the initial setup water intake, simply shut off the pump or when building the set up add a bridge. When destroying the bridge no water will spill. Also you can use plumbers to empty pipes if you have dupes with that skill. Can you do one on automation and setting priorities for the different parts. I still don't get that working properly.

[@chemie7037]

I prefer toilet-sink-toilet-sink as this reduces dup walking vs having all toilets together. If you use a bridge to make the last connection for the "charge" of the system, no mopping.

[@Branwhin]

Thank you Fox! I never do manage to recall which bloody order the pipe bridge goes in. This should help.

[@black-aliss]

[@magnuscarlsson9969]

My favorite bathrooms are simply Backdoor(one way), Lavatori x2, space x2(Granite big statue), Shower 2x, Space for statue, Sinks 2x then door out. Add a few lamps and paintings and you will easially reach max decor + a 100% applied "lit workspace" morale bonus. Then I instead build more then one 4x16 toilet facility if I think I need it At the opposite side of the main base, incase someone must relieve himself and comes from the other end of the world. Combine it with a blossom farm below it(adjusted pipe warmth for perfect crops and trought auto watering tiles) and you also get "smelled flowers morale buff". Then you also save alot of piping since you can run the auto watering system for the plants and the bathrooms on the same pipeline since Blossoms acctually kill germs. The only issue as I see it are that you need to pump in some extra water into the system, which ain't hard if you make fertilizer anyways. By running four scheduels you can fit 4x4=16 dupes on only two advanced toilets(not outhouses, I just do 4x outhouses 4 sinks untill I upgrade).

[@AdamRotering]

I always put my showers first in the door. Because after they have a shower they dont need to was their hands

[@magnuscarlsson9969]

@@AdamRotering Well to be fair the showers there for the +morale. Showers only deal with food poisoning surface germs, while the sink deals with any germ type at the same efficiency. The best is afterall the disinfector, but it's also quite expensive, but removes 2x the germs of a sink. Tbh the only reason why I bother with the whole "toilet" idea are because of the water since I truly loathe mealwood...

[@S_Black]

Putting in multiple water tanks and filling that room with chlorine works really well for cleaning the germs and eventually siphoning off the excess clean water. Put the door into the ceiling and the chlorine won't get out. You may want a germ sensor later to be sure, but the germs are cleaned within a cycle

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep I’ve used a chlorine room to get rid of germs before. I only make the effort if I need to though. For example if I want to use the water for food. Most uses for water the germs don’t matter

[@WolfShroom]

I like this because it essentially fills itself up after the first few bubbles. I'm on cycle 280 and still have outhouses and basic(non plumbed) sinks

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

yeah it does save a lot of duplicant effort

[@VanitasYoutube]

5:54 Correct me if I'm wrong. This loop will eventually back up and stop flowing? There is more waste water produced in this system, so inevitably you'll end up have to change to sending the clean-water back to a reservoir.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yes I described that, and that’s why we built the overflow system using the pipe bridge :)

[@Hedning1390]

You don't need a liquid bridge before the sieve. The white tile on the sieve works exactly the same as the one on the bridge. Yes, the sieve can't take a full pipe, but look at how toilets output, you will never have a full pipe on any normal sized bathroom unless you purposefully stack the water up.

[@CptBubbleMoose]

Thank you so, so much! I always used your old tutorials when I played the game and now with the official release I was so happy to see this in my sub box because I want to play again!

[@swscoobysnacks4784]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to decontaminate everything out of water to make it completely clean again? Also how to cool the temperature of water down enough to be suitable for use?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yeah I'll be updating the video I made about germ management, but the easiest way is to pump it into a liquid reservoir in a room filled with chlorine gas. There are other ways like high heat or super low temperatures, but the chlorine gas option is easiest. I'll have some more tutorial updates coming out as i get them finished :)

[@chiikahda394]

Thank you so much for this video, I've been super confused about how the liquid bridges prioritizes

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Glad it was helpful

[@robertbensch7748]

Just use another liquid bridge for priming the loop. Those can be deconstructed without spillage. As of the last update, the sieve does not add temperature to the liquid so if there is no shower (which adds heat) attached to the loop you don´t need insulation anymore.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep the bridge would avoid spilling :)

[@judewaide8328]

I don't know if this was changed or not but, I like to have a reservoir in the same room as the decontaminator to act as a buffer. I then fill this room with chlorine to kill all the germs in the resevoir. It's a little extra work but it requires no extra fuel but allows you to use the water for anything with no risk of contamination.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep you can decontaminate that way too. I generally only bother getting rid of the germs if the dupes are going to be cooking with the water :)

[@Spoonwood]

Thanks for the video! I enjoyed it! Instead of having the initial injection for the system come from the water supply, I prefer to use the polluted water that the duplicants have been making when using outhouses. It doesn't involve the soggy feet effect (which mainly concerns me because of the time it takes for a duplicant to kick off of their feet), and gets rid of the polluted water that outhouses have made. I make a small pit for a pump. I put a bottle emptier over it. Then I set it to 'polluted water'. Then the pump sends the polluted water directly to the sieve, instead of the bridge. The bridge then I'll use within the loop from the bathroom and sink polluted water, or as the output of the sieve water if I say want to water bristle blossoms. And since there's no polluted water sitting in that small tank (2x2 has seemed sufficient in my experience) after just a few cycles, I can deconstruct and there's no need for mopping also.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

The outhouses don't make polluted water, but you'd get some from the wash basins, so yep that's another way to get your initial water. Definitely more than one way to tackle each problem, which is a large part of what makes this a great game :)

[@Spoonwood]

@@CrypticFoxGaming Oops! You're right. The outhouses make polluted dirt, and the wash basins make polluted water!

[@quinnlee-miller9792]

If you reduce the number of toilets to 2 and use efficient scheduling, you might be able to make infinite clean water; by reducing the strain on the Sieve, you can instead backlog the clean water side and dump the excess into an electrolyzer for oxygen and hydrogen. If done as efficiently as possible, you might even be able to make all this self sufficient with the hydrogen generator to power the sieve and auto filler, seeing as how the H.G stores more energy than it uses, and the auto filler/sieve might not always be running.

[@Nahan_Boker94]

Finally i get the plumbing system work. I somehow mistaken the input and output pipes lol. No wonder theres no water coming in at all.. also creating the plumbing pipe first and later connect it is better than connect it after lol. Thx for the tutorial!!!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Glad it helped :)

[@johnhowitt22]

I learned the hard way water sieves don’t take out germs. Whole colony ended up drinking their own germs. Took a lot of work to decontaminate 😂

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yeah I’ve did that after the germ update haha

[@Levian-Durai]

I had to abandon one of my first colonies when I learned that. I was using a microbe musher, and my entire water supply was contaminated with germy water. My dupes couldn't do anything, they were all throwing up so much!

[@riccardoz2953]

making a closed loop is a good hint. also before piping in liquids from pockets check if are contaminated or not. maybe 2 main reservoire one for contaminated liquids, and one for clear liquids (polluted or not water also). ! thing i noticed is that if i use a liquid reservoire in a room rich of oxygen, hydrogen or clorine the germs are going down. dunno if gases are sort of consumed in the process. but helped me to fix a disease :D. Sadly the sieve isnt outputting clear water at fixed temperature, so dont pipe in water too hot u'll heat the entire colony ;)

[@SpookyWhispering]

@@CrypticFoxGaming How tho?? Everyone mentions this but i can't find a single video where someone actually shows how.

[@lbpfan007]

Yes I am so glad this got an update as this is my main water source when I don't have one

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yeah it’s a good amount of water if you have a lot of duplicanta

[@markdescalzo9404]

You can put a pokeshell in the room with the water sieve. It'll eat the polluted dirt and poop sand to feed the filter. Ship in polluted dirt and rot piles on a conveyor and ship out the molt and egg shell. Once setup, a dupe need never set foot in the room again.

[@markdescalzo9404]

It just occurred to me I could put a germ sensor and loop-back on my collection tank and fill the room with chlorine. No more germs. Guess what I’m doing to my base next...

[@mortor9502]

If you want to use the clean water but you are worrying about the germs, you can place the water reservoir inside a chlorine room and it will kill all the germs on the reservoir, yeah it doesn't make much sense but it works

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep that works well

[@Whitewolf1984p]

There is one extra thing you can do Have a liquid reservoir after the water sieve but before the bathrooms/showers, and have that reservoir in a (sealed) Chlorine room. Pretty much K.O's all the germs, but other than that, its what I been using for months XD

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep that works too. I just don’t bother killing the germs unless I need to for making food or something :)

[@yoloyolo1307]

Please do a tutorial on how to decontaminate the water..I don't want dupes drinking all the water

[@datman2433]

If you have access to chlorine, you can build a water tank in a room full of chlorine. The water sitting in the tank will disinfect in contact of chlorine at the cost of some of the gas.

[@raptor0286]

The pipe should be in a line all output togeter and all input togeter this reduce the heat transfer, the resource,the lag. The water seeve doesnt kill germ at all

maybe some automation that if the water seeve wont work, then opens door to lavatory? just returned to play some more of this game, and i really missed out on a lot. i used to like watching streams more than playing it, especially it was a guy who made all sorts of experiments during stream. once i even sent him blueprints of private rooms for each dupe and he made it work. was some hyper complex rooms with a lot of décor filling each tile. the base was big but actually worked nicely. anyway i like your style and your takes on practical examples.

Im very new to this game so I havent even got to the point where I have switched out the first bathroom yet (about to though). You said that the water liquid res would fill upp asweel. Wont the polluted water loads come in 11.7kg and 5kg packages? Aint there some sort of gate where you can send some of it back from the reservoir when the water sieve have downtime? Also this is wierd. Wont the lavatory actually create water from nothing? 5kg input... 11.7kg output. hmm

[@LucyWucy26]

I need help.... I'm basically copying u exactly. But water is spawning under my water sieve and I think that's why mine is deleting itself .. but I can't get the water to stay away. It seems to be coming from the pipes some how. I do have water under the lavatory but it's not touching the building anywhere right now

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

are you getting fresh water into the water sieve maybe? Are the pipes completely full and not able to move anymore?

[@kupermen5567]

You can put that liquid reservoir in a room filled with chlorine to get rid of the germs in it as that "clean" water contains thousands of food poisoning germs. HOWEVER You do not need to get rid of the germs unless you are using that water to for example making liceloaf or any food product that needs water. Other than that, you can use that germ filled water around your base like powering your electrolyzer or maybe completing research. It is completely harmless and a good way of using that germ filled water...

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep. I almost never kill the germs off

[@pendiicorn]

Is it really worth it creating a whole separate systems for washrooms? I personally pump the pwater into my polluted reservoir and clean it from there in a sieve and a chlorine room and then pump it into my main reservoir. From there i pump it back into the washroom, much more efficient that way.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

The benefit of this setup is you don’t have to worry about water. The water just stays in the loop to be reused over and over and you won’t deplete it accidentally. There’s definitely more than one to approach everything in this game though :)

[@S_Black]

You don't need a polluted water reservoir this way. And you can fill the room with the tanks with chlorine for cleaning.

[@noxustds]

Why not put the overflow mechanism in the clean water pipe? I can't think why you would want to keep polluted water like that

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Sometimes polluted water is useful as a coolant or for certain plants. I generally put the bridge on the polluted side to save sand until I have a use for the clean water

[@Jay-vp3kk]

Why don't you put the tank after the siv so that you are simply storing the clean water and use it as a buffer. That way the system is closed and you don't need to do any additional steps of adding water (which is currently removed from the loop in this version) or deal with sending/cleaning the polluted water you are currently sending to the tank?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

As I mentioned you can put the bridge on either side depending on what your need is, but this system already doesn’t need water added after you initially prime it. It produces more water than it consumes.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

I've never had an issue with how far the sieve will pump, but if every tile in the pipe is full to maximum, then the system will stop flowing. You need an overflow system to allow excess liquid to leave.

[@MikeMoneyGMR]

@@CrypticFoxGaming Huh interesting because I had mine set up like that and even though the output (polluted water) pipe had a runoff the clean water would just stop pumping after going a short way on the pipes to my facilities and hydro farms.

CrypticFox but umm is there any way to make water or do anything to make extra water cause aren’t you just going to run out of water eventually

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

yep and this system does produce some extra water, but the amount extra you get is dependent on how many duplicants you have. Whether you need to get rid of the germs though depends entirely on what the water is being used for. If you're feeding farm times or machines with the water then the germs don't matter. It's only if you're dumping the water some where to be picked up and used for making food that the germs become an issue.

[@thesmilingcroc4656]

[@vakalkas]

Very nice tutorial. Would you say we're meant to do it this way though? I see everyone doing it, but it does low key feel like cheating. Is it too hard toget clean water and skip the water sieve ?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Well this is the common method, and the devs in all of their updates haven't opted to change anything about the impact of germy water in the sinks, so I figure why not. You could add an extra step by having the water go into a liquid storage tank in a room filled with chlorine to kill off the germs if you like :)

[@taylordavis6072]

Will the water get more and more polluted the longer you use it? It seems like it would be a total hassle to swap the water out later. I'm not even sure what the liquid filter is even used for anymore. Great content, though. Very helpful.

No the water sieve changes it from polluted water to clean water. It will get more germy, but the germs don't really affect anything in this system. Doesn't seem to matter how germy the water gets. Glad it was helpful

Hard to help without being able to see unfortunately. Is your pipe bridge maybe pointed the wrong way? If you have the input/output reversed the water would just hit that point and take the alternate path.

For those trying to make a MUCH MUCH MUCH simpler, more dangerous, and disgusting liquid toilet system- The part you're missing is the liquid vent at the end of the output pipe of the lavatory. You still need to pump the liquid into the lavatory. Hand washing optional.

Why would you put the overflow on the WRONG side of the sieve? Storing Germy water in PW is not a good idea, put the overflow on the other side and take water that KILL's germs and store it or drop it into a pit somewhere.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

It’s not the “wrong” side. As I said in the video you can put it on either side depending on whether you want clean or polluted water. I often tend to use the runoff for things like arbor trees that need polluted water. Which side you put the bridge on is dependent on what you need/want.

[@mephi5t0]

I dont effin understand why this bridge makes a difference. I made a fork without bridge but with shut off valve and all water goes there instead, I hate it, this thing is stupid :((((

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

The bridge is programmed with a specific priority. Any pipe feeding water into the bridge prioritizes going through the bridge unless it can't. It won't take another path there unless the water simply can't go through the bridge, and that's what makes it useful for this kind of overflow. Any other place where you split a pipe the packets of water will alternate between the directions, so with 1 split, half the water will go one way, and half the other. With a 3 way split you'll get 33% in each etc.

@@CrypticFoxGaming thanks, I guess the arrow on the bridge make it more vivid. After I placed it it was more usable. I had to redo it a few times because it was flowing in wrong directions. Before this video I had manual shut off valves and those dumbos had to run there and toggle it time to time when overflow happened :D Thanks for the updated video! I should probably play more on debug mode. Otherwise I am under stress that they all die and puke to death :)

This doesn’t work because u have nothing purifying the water. It’s full of germs, aka this set up will make them sick. Does anyone have an actual bathroom tutorial pls??

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

You're quick to judge without trying it ;) I've used this setup for thousands of cycles. The germs in the system don't affect the duplicants. The water only needs to be purified if you're intending to make food with it.

[@SparklyMarshmellow62]

CrypticFox and you’re wrong lmao. I did try it and they all got sick because it doesn’t remove germs. Clearly you haven’t played the game in a couple years lmfao. How about try playing in 2020 and get back to me bud.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

The last stream I had of the game was May 2020 and it was a non-issue. It wasn't that long ago. If you want to clean the germs though, add a liquid storage container into the loop in it's own enclosed room and fill the room with chlorine gas. The gas will kill the germs when the water enters the tank.

[@SparklyMarshmellow62]

CrypticFox yeah, I’m aware. It’s crazy how you have this many followers/views though when you clearly know nothing about the game. Literally google water sieve on ONI’s website. It turns polluted water to pure water but it does NOT remove germs. By washing their hands with germy water they get sick. Period.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

The germs in the water don't matter. The sink will still clean the duplicants hands. Your dupicants are getting sick for another reason. Maybe you have too few sinks and they aren't all washing, maybe the duplicant you have preparing the food is germy and contaminating the food, maybe they're breathing in slimelung or something. I've used this setup for a bathroom for thousands of cycles and they ALWAYS get clean. But do what you like since you're so convinced of your superiority. Better yet, go look up another tutorial genius since you're still figuring out the basics of the game for yourself.

cool. :-)

how to make a bathroom/ simple, you make a bathroom.

You says "ultimately" way too often, it gets super annoying after like the 4th video....

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

I'm aware. I'd be willing to bet you have some annoying habits too ;)
