Nature Reserve and CO2 Problems | Max Diff Achievement Run | Ep 7 | ONI

[@fortheregm1249]

" is this gonna take afew cycles to do ? YES . Do we have anything better to do ? YES. But we still gonna do it anyways " i LOVED that comment, sums up ONI in a nutshell. a place where you can indulge all your OCDs as you please.

[@wolfen210959]

Yep, couldn't agree more. :)

[@travisperkins9920]

I'd love it if the Geotuner station could also be used to turn geysers/vents off. Ever needed to break into a tamed geyser to do random repairs, but it's still got 80+ cycles until dormancy? Yeah

[@HyperVegitoDBZ]

That's what atmo suits and imagination is for

[@fuzzypumpkin7743]

Was setting up a hydrogen vent tamer when I realized I'd put insulating tiles where I needed metal ones. Dupes were not happy with me sending them back in! It had already reached about 280F so as soon as a metal tile was down they got scalded.

[@EchoRidgeUnabridged]

I can imagine something like a a cork the dupes would shove into it. Great idea.

[@fuzzypumpkin7743]

@@EchoRidgeUnabridged An actual cork would be hilarious and very fitting for the game style.

[@leog9573]

There is a way to plug the vent/geyser/volcano back up placing a temp shift plate made of I think refined carbon over where it outputs its resources, but plugging a cork into said vent does sound funny

[@bob8mybobbob]

Great episode! The differences between max difficulty and normal are so funny. Normally I see 20% stress and it’s a sign something has gone wrong. But on max difficulty 46% is “not that bad”.

[@llPennywise]

The flipped Asteroid on the other side of the teleporter has a lot of metal ore and rocks - probably worth going there first just for that

[@sirdart6915]

I cannot get enough of a fix with these episodes! I’m doing the same play through of your seed and can’t wait to see what you think as you progress farther!

[@MDay8]

I've been trying to wrap my head around ONI for a while, and I simply deemed it too difficult for me to enjoy. Watching you do a max difficulty run is greater fun than playing it myself, especially the dry commentary (that explains A LOT about the ONI mechanics that I'd wish I knew sooner).

[@kellymoore5517]

Wow, the hustle is real. No dupes died, quality food recovered, logistics are masterfully delt with, moral is up. I've missed a lot of updates from when I played in pre-release. I may come here for some pro tips in the future.

[@v.valclodi8311]

thats a roller coaster of emotion right there (CHAOS settled)

[@draculaant2702]

One thing that could help with the C02 problem (I use this system quite often) is a gas pump connected to 3-4 canister fillers and when their full you empty them until the cO2 problems fixed

[@chassirius2329]

I'm not certain I would survive under such limited resources. But as they say, "Adventure is someone else having a terrible time somewhere else." I'd vote for space as you'll need renewable POIs for the long run. PS. Because it's ONI, I don't hear "When Johnny Came Marching Home", l hear "The Ants Came Marching One By One." 😁

[@turboimport95]

funny thing on my way to work today, I saw a road sign that said Echo Ridge Dr.. I was like no way man, I though of this channel instantly 😂😂

[@krzysztofpaszkiewicz1274]

You know you don't have to force dupes through the park. Just make a small hole in the park's floor (or/ and ceiling), build walls and doors level below and they will get the bonus for going through "the park" but they really go through just only one tile.

[@gallantgabby]

I always forget how small these later planetoids are. Can't wait to see them completely full of stuff

[@bigalex52]

Love seeing the new episode, Im doing my first SO run myself so it's nice to kinda play alongside ;) One thing I did want to ask is why don't you simply vent the CO2 to space? A gas pump can remove more CO2 than a skimmer, plus you save on filtration medium that way. Also, by managing what branches grow on an arbor tree, you can have a pip wild plant 2 trees on 3 tiles and make them fit with all branches. Using that you could potentially have a second ranch on the floor above the existing ranch! Just some food for thought :) EDIT: Nevermind! You took out the natural tiles :')

[@LilTikiBoy]

In my playthrough I'm actually thinking about trying to use the CO2 geyser to cool an infinite food storage since it comes out at -55 degrees. I know it's not a lot, but if I can get a metal tile in a vacuum down low enough using my slush geyser first then maybe it will be enough to keep just my food below -18 degrees. Also, if I were you I would go to the other planet first because I'm not sure if you're going to have enough metal ore for a rocketry program if you don't. Especially if you wanna keep feeding the smooth hatchlings as well.

[@chrismitchell-Auxo]

I’m also a fan of space exploration. Always a fun element and challenge to accomplish.

[@bob8mybobbob]

My preferred nature reserve spot is just under/over a thoroughfare, and then I leave a one tile gap so the reserve extends to where the dupes run (possibly building some doors set to open if the tile count gets too big).

[@mrjblacc85]

Probably best to start setting up some sweetle & grubgrub ranching, as it can ve sustained by the sulfur geyser long term. The grubgrubs are also usefull to get seeds faster for the GMO a okay achievement, which is kind of a pain without

[@DreamyDuskywing]

You can have the nature reserve drop down a single tile into another room. So they don't have to walk the whole room to get the bonus.

[@ethangarofolo8170]

I forgot how good this series was, but on a rewatch I’m being reminded.

[@jonumine6250]

You could make some omelettes with the excessive amount of eggs. >Also not better than barbeque, but when there's 0 calories and ~80 eggs, it's better than mush bars. And I prefer doing the natural reserve as the colony main up/down ladder as it is already wasted space, and they use it almost every time. >Was about to talk about you having a smooth hatchling egg in the evolution chamber, but you've already got to it. Also, look forward to using the gas masks to get to places like the cobalt. Yes they use metal and aren't better than space suits, but are nice for no-oxygen areas at early game.

[@erutryszed2301]

Love your series!! Keep it up!!

[@kestergreen3844]

A quick tip with the water. The brine tank is always being refilled so always pump water from this tank. Add piping to warm the cold brine by routing it backwards and forwards through the salt water and water tanks then desalinate it. This will give you more time before the system needs a heater or another heating method. You can claim back the automation materials and the pumps in the saltwater and water tank.

[@ethangarofolo8170]

Space! Space! Great vid as always, Echo.

[@comedyflu]

Loved the episode. It might be time to boldly go where you haven't yet before... 😅

[@EchoRidgeUnabridged]

+1 internet points for the ST reference.

[@BlueNEXUSGaming]

I don't think he plans to explore what happens when a Dupe swims in Magma though; he heard they find it extremely stressful, and sometimes their head might get stuck in a tile when it solidifies around their head from Magma cooling around their head, so that's a concern too; plus they would complain about wetness, and the heat, it's an entire ordeal … OH! You meant Space! Yeah, Radiation Sickness might prove problematic, needs Thimble Reed, otherwise should be fine.

[@war_storm6661]

Nice just what I need after a 17 hour flight

[@ttimjappy]

It is actually possible to grow 3 arbor trees with max branches with only 1 space in between. Only when planting the 4th you need 2 Spaces. I like your salt Water/brine automation, it is so simple and still effective.

[@EchoRidgeUnabridged]

I figured it was way too early for space travel, since there's no sustainable diamond yet. I wouldn't mind to see how you tackle space travel this early.

[@BlueNEXUSGaming]

With Gusto, and a massive lack of Glass.

[@americanmechanic909]

2:50 suggestion: showers to deal with the sopping wet debuff, and use the polluted water from that to feed additional tree's, or store the polluted water for future use, such as pacu's?

[@JadeTalon1171]

Fun fact! I believe the repeated Et Cetera's are an old forgotten reference from the movie "The King and I" from 1956! The king in the movie repeatedly would say "...et cetera, et cetera, et cetera..." and it kind of stuck in society, apparently.

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

Ooohh, I like fun facts. Thank you for sharing.

[@volondil75]

Use wood to make food. Replant the nature reserve with arbor trees and feed all your wood into ethanol distillers. you won't be able to burn the ethanol yet due to super sustainable, but it will provide you with polluted dirt, which can be fed to sanishells. Furthermore you could potentially use the extra sand produced to feed a couple of sage hatches.

[@TheAngryForest]

Good morning Echo. Love the new nature reserve and episode!

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

Thank you Angry Forest.

[@mario6826]

I almost never bother to do carbon skimmer. Why just not doing pump at the bottom of the base, with carbon detector? Is that not a lot easier?

[@GermanyOni]

Good video, as always!

[@brianfree2977]

hydro sensor connect to water drop off valve turn on vent will close when tank is full. Place two one high one slightly lower with a reset switch when it hits top sensor will close vent. when it reaches lower sensor will set off the reset and valve opens turning converting more salt water. Also saving power not having that desalinator running the whole time.

[@GunGryphon]

Have you thought of making a "databank clowncar"? Just shove 4+ data collection labs and dupes into a rocket for a few cycles to get a bunch of data. It's a bit silly, but that's part of the fun!

[@nightshadedim3396]

that Sulphur geyser is gonna support a wonderful grubfruit and sucrose farm. That'll support a lot of dupes. taming the Sulphur geyser will eventually supply you with renewable dirt, water, and food

[@EchoRidgeUnabridged]

If we can find one!

[@veselinmarkov]

Well you've got all the lava that could be turned into igneous rock... ;)

[@sugarhoneyprincess6025]

It seems mean BUT I noticed that you can remove door access to binge eaters and they won't be able to get to the food storage. They'll just stand around until the stress response is over. You'll just need to keep all you food in on place and keep an eye out for the binge eaters stress level...

Arbor trees will only grow five branches so you can stack em in one-space-apart pairs in a pip ranch still max out growth no problem by selective pruning.

[@TheGamingShark29]

Yey new echo video:)))

[@jadekaiser7840]

"Etcetera" basically translates as "and so on to the rest." It's inclusive of other, similar things, but stops there. The difference between saying it once and saying it twice is that when you say it once, you're saying "and so on to the rest (of the set or group)." Whereas when you say it twice, you're saying "and so on to the rest of of the set, and so on to other sets." It's a result of the subtle bits of the loanword that a lot of people don't really learn.

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

This is a well educated response. Thank you.

[@jadekaiser7840]

@@EchoRidgeGaming No problem! Looking into it a little more, it looks like the exact meaning would be something like "and so to those like it," for the first "etcetera," and then "and so to those like them in turn," for the second one.

[@andrewmorden9528]

The Reason I love pips so much is that they are resource free if you natural plant and being resource starved like you are on the small maps not having to use your mineral to feed hatches can be a lifesaver. Yes not as much meat but still free is free

[@bob8mybobbob]

Yep! I love pips as a free source of calories, dirt, and wood. And dreckos for calories and fiber.

You could put the skill scrubber behind two doors that can only be entered till they are done being shaken, not stirred.

[@AlexSwavely]

They can still get out of the scrubber and won't do anything until their stress reaction is satisfied.

[@poijnve3912]

3:20 well in that specific case, it more of a running sentence / modims. which means a long list that everyone knows, in this case the list of all everiomental events that produce stress on dupes, which is a list most people that play ONI know so insta of saying all debuff, wet feet, soggy feet, sore eyes, suffocating, trapped, too much cool/hot, to much pressure, no enough pressure. you just mention 2 and add etc,etc to make a reference to all stress debuff on the game depending in the context and the previous sentence can mean a bigger list or a list of known items

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

Today I learned.

[@Taimoorabdullah]

Wouldnt it be better to dig horizontally in the cold area to give CO2 more area to cool down at? It gets exposure to more cold area, saving a lot of time while you prepare for scrubbing apparatus?

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

Not a bad idea!

[@fuzzypumpkin7743]

You know, you're so close to space right there in the middle you could just start venting some/all of the CO2 there. I had mine storing into tanks for a bit, but I filled four tanks to use for my data-mining rocket and my short trip one, then needed to move the sink lower due to harnessing a hydrogen vent lower than the sink used to be, so I ended up just extending that pipe system a little higher and lower and pumping it out. With the new snips I can just replace that one pipe segment and snip the other whenever my tanks get low. There's probably an even smarter way to do it involving bridges that you know of. I have difficulty visualizing how bridges change the flow.

[@bob8mybobbob]

For the longest time I always vented my CO2 into space, because I thought the carbon skimmer consumed water. Then I had a map where I could not stop the CO2 from turning to water and breaking my pipes, so I looked into the carbon skimmer again and realized it’s water neutral 🤦‍♀️

[@stefansuch1588]

2:17 Destroy the tile ABOVE your carbon dioxide in the water tank and replace it with an airflow tile! It'll ensure you'll never have carbon dioxide trapped in your water tank

[@BlueNEXUSGaming]

What I heard was: - You've got unlimited Thermally Differentiated Water - You've got unlimited Oxygen (requires sanitation & refinement) All you need is a regular Volcano at this point to produce Magma, and some Metal Volcanoes to produce Metals; otherwise, you've got immortality available to your Dupes, because you can survive on just O2 & H2O1 (Oxygen & Water). You might get Land-Locked, where you will require deconstructing a portion of your base to construct your space rocket; though, if you pace yourself: you should be able to refine enough metal to construct enough material to operate your base effectively, especially once you start building with your Steam Generators converting your thermal excess over to power; is Carbon Dioxide useful for anything in this game? Because if you've got a Thermal Heat Sink, you can re-cool your Carbon Dioxide stockpile down near your magma biome. If I had this game, I'd totally livestream it.
