I have tried by all means to play ONI (Space Out) in this Difficulty Level and fulfilling all the achievements, but without support packages and a large map in Aridio because it seems to me one of the most difficult scenarios. until now I had not been able to find a gameplay like this that is quite close to what I am looking for.

You might make a mini pod there and grab another digger. 2 should be able to survive on Muckroot alone for a while. What a great challenge! Keep up the great videos, Francis. I'm a big fan of your work

[@annoyannoy]

@@FrancisJohnYT That's what i thought too, but I was playing the flipped planetoid and somehow got drecko eggs as a care package. Either it's because i encountered a biome where they'd usually spawn (caustic(?), but it didn't have dreckos), or the game just bugged out. It was great for getting atmo suits, but then i got bored of the game again :/

[@sicariusdracus]

An early game morale booster for your dupes you may consider is the Party Line. +1 if talking to self, +2 if yslking to someone on same rock, +4 morale if talking to someone on another asteroid. And its recreational. So you can make a greathall with a 1x2. It also generates a bit of heat.

I cannot even lie … the moment I saw the toilets my eye might have twitched juuust a bit

[@harrin1982]

I did some testing, and the original estimates of difficulty isn't accurate. Steel is possible, because inside the radioactive biome, there is rust, which can be used to secure iron ore. Fish can spawn, I created a couple of maps, and while it's infrequent, it can happen. More so on subsurface oceans and frozen core, but that is kinda obvious. To tame, you can easily ship algae over from the flipped asteroid, and you'll have a pacu tank up in no time. This lead to an interesting surprise, you can get a map that doesn't spawn any Pips, and will be stuck waiting on the printing pod to get them! Also, if you go with the Geodes trait, you can get packets of massive resources. I've seen natural gas, hydrogen, water, iron ore and gold amalgam, to just list a few. Not a bad trait to grab. From the star map, the planets actually tell you what geysers are on that location. I hope this helps! Especially the tip about the rust!

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Oh good point about the steel, we are going to need that for making rockets, no atmo suits but we should be able to work around that. The pacu died, it got to cold and froze. But that steel should allow us to do a bottomless rodreguiz and feed that hot salt water geyser into it, giving us hydrogen for power.

[@coreyalexander4101]

When I got this achievement on normal difficulty, I was running like 4 hatch ranches, a drecko ranch, a pip ranch, and about 12-16 incubators, I think.

[@Scott_Burton]

I am glad to see im not the only one who has that "construction order for a storage bin lands 1 tile higher or lower than I meant" issue

[@arturmonteirodacosta170]

Francis, you could also use the pip ranch to produce lumber and turn that into ethanol, that can't be burned before your achievement is unlocked, but could be a different way to tackle power than you usually do.

[@duende29]

If you stablish a second colony on the Flipped Asteroid you can scratch the achievements faster. Dig it out for the free hatches and make the ranches there instead of sending stuff back. It's micromanagement hell though, but getting two colonies so early should be great content.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

I know I should send someone over straight away but I keep having to do just one last thing before I do, at this rate I'll never send someone over.

[@burntjoint]

I won't have a chance to watch this till later, but im really appreciating the daily videos of this series. Thanks Francis.

[@azulcrescent]

Probably a bit late, but you can lock pips in a 9 tile wide section by using a door, an airflow tile, and a drop of water on top. The 9 tile wide section is enough to put 2 arbor trees in with 2 tiles in between, enough for 8 pips and theres also space for a grooming station and a critter dropoff. I do this cuz it saves a lot of time from pips having to go around the entire room, and also allows a single autosweeper to cover the entire ranch It goes: Door-tile-tree-tile-tile-tree-tile-critterdropoff-groomingstation(2tiles)-door with airflowtile and water.

[@azulcrescent]

Re: Reproduction rate: It would turn out to be exactly one egg every 6 cycles for an ideal, permanently - happy hatch. In reality it'll be marginally slower than that. The tooltip sadly rounds the values to whole percent (17%) instead of keeping at least two decimal places (16.67%).

The incubator room was tucked into an out of the way corner of the base where no one would just randomly wander and the first incubator was set on a timer sensor.

you should try using lumber as a source for everything, with ethanol refining you can produce power, oxygen, and food (if you really like slickster ranching) at the cost of less polluted water per cycle than a regular electrolyzer setup's consumption of water, meaning you have, with sublimation stations used, more oxygen per kg of polluted water, some nice power to self-power the system and maybe produce a little extra for your base, and lots of CO2 for anything from early-game rocket fuel to slickster ranching Also, incubating a lot of slicksters and just stuffing them down south of your base without grooming them is a decent way to produce oil or petroleum, you would need an actively groomed ranch for the eggs to initially supply the system, though.
