LESS Airlocks/ Exploding Rocks/ Faster Plant Growth!- Occupy Mars ep.29

[@SidDTheSimschannel]

Don't forget you can use the fuse boxes at the connections to shutoff power to sections of the base that are not needed.

It’s so funny when you lose your rag with the door that is trying to save your life! “What the frig?……oh my helmet!”

I think the apple tree at stage 2 is as far as it will go in the incubator, so I suggest now put it in the field in the greenhouse until stage four, then move it to the dome. You could maybe try moving it at stage 3 just to test that I suppose. Before you plant it in the dome, go to the control console of that dome and raise the soil level to maybe 20? It won’t let you plant the tree with low soil levels and you have to set soil levels before planting, unlike the seed trays where you adjust things after planting. But you don’t know how much it needs before planting - so go big, and you can bring level down afterwards. I got caught badly when it kept saying “not enough soil to plant” so I kept banging soil in the composter. Got to 1000 silicon “wasted” before some kind soul in the comments reminded me about setting the console panel!

In my game I can put two seed cans together if they are the same. In your inventory put 2 cans of the type (IE potatoe 7 4% + potatoe 7 64%) in your inventory and slide one can onto the other. They should combine together and be a single can that is 68% full. The trees in the incubator are done, try transplanting them into the fields of the Greenhouse. then at stage 3 putting them into the domes. Have a Great one!!!

[@gavinhalliday5231]

Detonator probably best used in tandem with the rover and the rock crusher. The explosives topple the tall towers of rock into chunks that the grabber can then collect and deposit in your rover then into the crusher.

[@chapmanentertainment2044]

I had seen other videos where they put all the potatoes into full stacks then split to make new seeds so you get the same bonuses. You could try that and see if it works for you. That way you have a consistent bonus on all your potatoes and it other plants

Cool work improving your base, traveling it is smoother now, also less computer talking :) Would be nice to improve the "footprint" (position of buildings) but that is HUGE work, as all the inventories to move... would still be cool. All the benches would fit nicely into the HQ "2nd floor" (the one with big window), and maybe all those fridges (used for storage) move into canteen? The small incubator is not necessary anymore if you have that big triple unit in greenhouse, and the three double hydrophony racks are also 6x more space than the "old" single one... About the domes, in my opinion the middle one is good enough (two different plants = tree types (all smaller than trees are able to fit into greenhouse 3 fields there)) seems to be good enough... the big dome scares me with damn big open space - its like football field :)

Historically speaking, incubators only go to stage 2 at most for stage 4 advanced plants (or halfway for other plants at less but assume stage 2 for most,) of which when transplanted may need its own attached resources in the moved area depending if it's a field or a box. After the upgrade, plants then make "soil" you can collect like any resource like you did O2 or water in a tank at their composter. The rest is clearly explained in the episode or not to be spoiled here in his future episodes. "Is it really worth it?"--Explosives also are useful for things you want to "mine" but *not be close to* for sustained periods of time. Gee what caves that don't allow drilling have that ;) Many people used explosives to clear obstructed base things before they got L3 grinder. But if you got L3 Grinder first, by all means, use that instead!

[@nocram1975]

Maybe the live changing bit is if you scan the rock use the explosives and rover to grab the pieces to load into crusher not sure if that would make such a difference but you never know

[@kimlarsen1098]

Put the trees in the field and then in the dome. Try the plant gun in the dome to.

[@maireen3517]

@3:00 wont combine cause different amount similar to harvesting crops even if they're same quality the moment the previous stack spoil time ticks the next will start a new stack cause the bar isnt the same anymore @8:50 look down at the transfer tray console screen it shows the highlghted seedling stats

[@mattnicholson9071]

Just add to your comment...use the arrow keys while using the plant crate, to highlight a plant. Showing its stats for that plant

[@Bgruver02]

I wonder if you can use those explosives on the rocks in the cave 52:43

[@kevinreppert3805]

by the way, the blueprint for the large dome can be found. but its hard to find. had to go east to get it. and its a pain to place, cant see the whole dome to see if its hitting anything.

[@cabbageplays6710]

You do know if you hover over a potato in your inventory it shows you what their stats are, this way you can combine the ones that are the same and just use the best ones to make seeds. You should never have more than 1 seed can of any type(not counting the cans you find out in the wild), there is just no need for it, just store the potatoes in a fridge until you want more seeds and then take your best potatoes and make seeds, its easy.

[@kevinreppert3805]

dirt is placed at the control screen in planting area

[@soupwizard]

48:54 27? Entire base evaporates (I do wonder what 1 or 27 would do to your own base)

[@MythicPlutus]

dose the center part of the seed production machine do anything it might combined them

[@vic.clipzz]

Make signs so you don’t get lost in the base in the big rock crusher

[@SidDTheSimschannel]

Trees, I can't win, I haven't been able to find a seed magazine besides potatoes in the world I do know from videos trees can grow to stage 2 in the greenhouse planter, you can plant them in the greenhouse planter to get to stage 3, once at stage 3 you can plant them in the doom to get to stage 4.
