There is no feeling quite like discovering an unfolding disaster, and then tracking down a chain of cascading failures across the colony all the way back to a single miscalculation. Absolutely brilliant how much chaos one little critter can cause.

[@ketsuekikumori9145]

"This is for the safety of the dupes cuz as always duplicant safety is priority #1." The number of osha violations would disagree.

[@Shadowhawkdark]

Pretty sure he's meaning the "in-game" priority system.

[@samuelrabens3702]

Yea 1 is the lowest

[@Vyrewolf]

You know, if you had properly contained the poor slugs, for their own safety, the dupes wouldn't have been hurt...

[@HappyAspid]

Safety of slugs or dupes?

[@bettyxplace3196]

Probably both

[@Vyrewolf]

Yes

[@Seafish84]

If he had contained them it wouldn't be an echo stream though.

[@spanishlefty]

Those tanks are sooner or later 1000% exploding because of liquid pressure. Just waiting for it to happen 😅🤣

[@pankpanthergaming5397]

It genuinely feels like an eternity between posts because each video you post is a gem

[@samueltrusik3251]

FINALLY! A crisis of some kind to make things intersting!

[@lechking941]

tbh he had a piss crysis a epasode ago or 2

[@whsteve]

If the polluted water run from the carbon skimmers is too much spaghetti, just drop the polluted water into the brick. The water will flash and you can move polluted dirt out via rails, different kind of spaghetti.

[@Itslikehime]

This is what I was thinking. He already has generator that make polluted water in there anyways. No needs for the extra pipes.

[@alanwilliamduarte5617]

But them you would dump a ton of cold water into the dirty brick, and have the risk of steam getting below 125°c

[@whsteve]

@@alanwilliamduarte5617 Touché, I wounder if there would be enough heat to counter act it? Might also be a good use for any clean water that hasn't been chilled yet.

[@icelotus]

and infinite steam pressure, which after a while would make it very hard to heat even beyond the cold water issue

[@Itslikehime]

@icelotus that is true however he could also have pipped the steam output into the vent then it would old be 95c and no extra water.

[@commonsense-og1gz]

for the chlorine vent room, all you need is to open up an edge tile, install a conveyor chute, and drop in sponge slug eggs.

[@ReptillianStrike]

You mean, the sponge slugs he just killed? 😂

[@commonsense-og1gz]

@@ReptillianStrike he could have ranched them, and dumped their eggs in there.🙂🙂

[@voltsnbolts8879]

Or just build a solid square beside it and mine out a liquid lock, you're in easy peasy

It's gotta be a vole, right? No other critter has such chaos potential Edit: I take it back, sponge slugs are much worse. I did NOT know they can hook themselves up onto liquid pipes

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

Lol.

[@scisher3294]

Pure chaos, induced by the vile slugs! Bwahahaha 🧐

[@jAfr0Thunder86]

For the Chlorine vent: You may have already solved it, but if you make a liquid lock set-up below it, prepared to ladder up into it, then pump a fair bit of salt water out (Just free up one tile for the salt water to fall into), you can get in from the bottom and then go in and mop whatever is left. Then you can push or destroy the chlorine back in after.

[@DreamyDuskywing]

This made me laugh! I've not seen the sponge slugs before good work on putting out those fires Echo!!

[@chrismitchell-Auxo]

New studio sounds exciting. I can’t believe a single creature caused SO MUCH drama. Wow!

[@JoeCoolFlyingAce]

16:56 Chlorine Vent: Build a room under the vent with a powered door in the floor. Pump the fluid out. open the tile to let every thing drain. Mob up remaining and seal it off.

[@venus5106]

This series brings me so much joy, I've been following along after watching your beginner series and it has been a delight. I'm glad to see someone so much better at the game than me is still dealing with "perfectly clean and tidy" spaghetti XD Love your work and dw about being abit slow, get the episodes out at your own pace and we'll enjoy them when they arrive!

[@Adam.s..]

I feel the action taken where bang on. they are like coyotes 😂

[@sammygraves7127]

Whilst stressful, it does make for an enjoyable episode. Also saving for later as your laboratory setup and explanation has really helped me in understanding how to set up mine. I love this game, but it can take a while for me to truly understand certain aspects.

[@TheAngryForest]

Good afternoon Echo! The lil dupe and I are loving the series. I cannot wait to see the new studio setup, more framed pictures perhaps? Keep up the great work and can't wait to see the next episode!

[@ghostrider654321]

I love these series and true to our moto, chaos is beautiful when it happens!!!!

[@ColdWindPhoenix84]

Both the slug variants are complete jerks if not properly taken care of. I feel your pain.

I was thinking this title might be clickbait but NOPE. This is legit my favourite thing in Oni, trying to solve massivle failure cascades XD

so much water and yet the whole colony is on fire

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

lol

[@EnbyAxolotlOfficial]

Really glad you left that little hallway under the tanks just in case! Otherwise your dudes may need to do a little maintenance in lava!

[@Y2KNW]

On a lark, I put airflow tiles under some oil wells and they contained the natural gas and let me kinda channel it a bit, while preventing overpressure, becuase the gas had somewhere to go even when the well was completely submerged.

[@wolfguy423]

love the vids, i like the calm problem solving. it helps me understand the game mechanics a bit better :)

[@sha46327]

Critter Chaos!! Good gosh did they make a mess of things. o.O Fun stuff! Hope you and the fam are having a great week! Best of wishes.

Chlorine vent: May sound mental, but have you considered pumping magma in there and solidify it?

Obligatory Jurassic Park reference: "Life... ugh... Will find a way"

[@SarahFearnley958]

As soon as I read the title of the video, I knew it was the sponge slug! A very similar thing happened to me.

>13:05 What can I say, except "You're welcome!" 🎶 Yay my dupe!

[@vojtechsejkora1554]

Can Spung slug go throu the dorrs? if nto, maybe you can jsut build door when the filration unit starts and do not need to kill them all. After all you promise to tame every critter at the end :-).

[@beaub152]

You should move the petroleum gens to a new insulated place with the slicksters, and just transfer the heat to the sauna using radiant liquid/gas

[@deanyanev453]

You can get in the chlorine vent box with a blob of naphta stuck in a corner. You don’t even need to try in sandbox, just start few tiles away and make a tunnel to be sure it’s holding well. When done, mop it, deconstruct and all is back to normal. GL

[@TheAntoine185]

It's CHAOS time!!! :D

[@overlordkye]

Oxygen may not be included, but disaster certainly is! XD I hope your own home base retrofits are going well!

[@nazgu1]

>19:15 If you replace middle ladder segments on the right of each floor with tiles, drecos will be able to jump from the right wall directly towards the stations. Right now they have to crawl all the way around the room to do it, which means slightly more time for ranchnng tasks.

[@gcl2783]

Slugs, slugs, and damned slugs.

[@user-dv9ux6gd1s]

put around of the chlorine gayser.. an extra row of doors :)

[@HyperVegitoDBZ]

I didn't even know that the sponge slug didn't have to use a vent, he just sucks itself into an enclosed pipe?

[@ghostrider654321]

I just found out sponge slugs exist!!!

[@christopherg2347]

I thought all slugs work with pipes/vents/power lines. What you connect that line to is your personal decisionm

[@joshuadbybee4906]

LMAO thank you

[@Killzad]

solution for the oil well can be achieved by constructing a line of air tile from top to bottom on the left side parallel to the wall from the inside so gas has always where to move. Or you could build the air tiles on the outside then another layer of insulated so to extend the left side then deconstruct the current wall.

[@chriswhittington5790]

Echo, if you're running mods. There is an air lock door that requires power. If not then powered mechanical doors and duplicate checkpoint with a atmo and hydro sensor connected to an "and" gate so that the checkpoint won't let dupes through until that room is a vacuum and absent of liquid.

[@rodgersullivan3274]

While not as an expansive system I too have had the same frustration with the sponge slugs moving materials I dont want into contained systems.

[@BSG99]

Just had a similar issue. Accidentally hooked up a polluted water line to the clean line (due to a miss click) and it broke my SPOM and filled it with a load of polluted oxygen. So I have just finished a big clean up with numerous liquid locks. This is why I always use easy access SPOMS. This was the one time I didnt... 🤦‍♂️😂

[@skilz8098]

It's the engineer's plight... fix one problem only to discover or create three more...

[@brianmccracken4880]

That carbon skimmer should be hooked up to the steam turbine output, and the polluted water should be put back in the steam brick.

[@kaiduwinter5795]

This is the reason I usually put all my wild critters on a isolated 1 tile sanctuary lol

[@phatbman]

When I worked on an oil field, we called it "the oil patch"

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

[@PyrokineticFire1]

thank you. this video makes me glad that i don't have those critters. no spaced out

[@ReptillianStrike]

I'm still partial to The Slick Brick

[@Sam-hv8zr]

i think you should start dumping the co2 into space, youre already destroying it with a skimmer

[@jonathanvanhouten6423]

18:03 you could put the auto sweeper on the lower layer and supply the farm tile directly from below

[@wChris_]

you can probably do a reverse liquid lock typeof thing to get into the underwater gas vent. sort of like an A shape instead of a V shape.

[@kellswalter]

@echo for your chlorine geyser you could use diamond or obsidian because of hardness level. Or use air flow until pressure becomes more reasonable. Or you could double wall, best to use insulated because of mass. Hope it helps x

[@neronakamori5041]

Chlorine gas’s room you could install manual airlocks around it and then lock them shut we use them for infinite liquid storage so the pressure won’t break them

[@anibarukyouran1145]

In case you need another reason to hate plugslugs and their variants XD also I actually like this new schedule, each video feels like a treat each time it comes out ^^

[@theegodkingmammz1595]

I know. Build a 6 by 6 brick out of regular tiles next to the vent and then demo your way in making use of the existing liquid as a lock, alternatively you could build straight down to a liquid lock from the top where theres air and break into the chlorine vent that way.

[@auto6485]

5:05 - for the dirty brick carbon skimmer.. can you just hook it to the output of the steam turbine then dump in the sauna?

[@meesoedontask5562]

OY VEI ECHO!!! One Slug and Hell... WHY!!! The ONI gods do not approve of your farming colony or something... SMH!!! So much havoc off one wild critter...

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

Oy vei indeed.

[@blazerfox22]

I don’t know much about oni water physics but if you take out that damaged tile and use ladders you should be able to get in from below

[@nazgu1]

>11:10 If the natgas line backs up, the filter will stop working.

[@coconut9497]

Just passing by :)

[@PaddyTheGamerPop]

Wall around the chlorine vent using doors, they won't be damaged by the brine pressure.

[@Bushman4]

I think you need a buffer gate on that material study terminal logic... as it stands now, as soon as the terminal is full it will turn off the generators, which means that whatever they have inside them will never be launched past the first disabled reflector to the second terminal.

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

Good idea.

[@joehelland1635]

Thats why you always cap your tanks. :)

[@guru42101]

If you go into the chlorine vent from the bottom the brine shouldn't get in due to the amount of pressure in there relative to the pressure of the brine. I don't think the chlorine will be able to push itself out, considering my liquid lock of 300g of naphtha held back 20 kg of O2. You'll just need to stairway up into it.

[@willonapop6184]

farm the sponge slugs. you must its in the name of the colony.

[@kylejennings8824]

@echo - to vacuum/clean out the chorline geyser, do a 3 wide column straight down to it, then replace the middle row with a ladder...create an liquid drop single air lock with crude, clean out and reseal then remove the column like nothing ever happened.

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

That is a big tunnel but a good idea none the less.

[@dpodpodpo]

Anytime i have an important liquid line going somewhere i always throw an element sensor with a not gate to pull anything that isnt the right liquid back out to be resorted.

[@Sheaker]

Pressure damage depends on material as well. It looks like Igneous Rock is harder than Granite.

[@backwardcard6457]

I know it would be a lot of work but seeing that cooling loop for your water tanks makes me think you could change the design so it spells out "ECHO"

[@EchoRidgeGaming]

+1 Int idea.

[@fortheregm1249]

Death penalty indeed ! for the Brine tank you are pumping out for filtering, do a Liquid element sensor followed immediately by a liquid vent (sensing brine), So you don't have to pump out all the brine and have to pump it back in.

[@imazined]

The issue with you industrial brick is not only a "too much of CO2". Petroleum generators delete steam also ...

[@johannstein5199]

cant w8 for the next one

[@shakenbear4549]

For the chlorine vent if you build in 1 tile diagonally from the bottom left corner you can repair the damage tile without releasing the chlorine gas. This will still have the chlorine vent as an infinite gas storage. As far as getting in and removing the salt water you could use a multi-liquid liquid lock (using air tiles for the physical tiles except for where it connects to the chlorine vent). If using the inverted triangle liquid lock and use crude oil the salt water shouldn't be able to push it out of the way. I would double check this in sandbox mode though. This should allow you to remove the salt water from in it. For submerged liquid vents I would recommend surround it with air tiles. For submerged gas vents I would surround it with 2 layers of regular tiles.

[@shakenbear4549]

For the submerged vents I would corner building to not have to deal with flooding and just try to ignore the lost igneous rock. If you want to recover the igneous rock I would use the multi-liquid liquid lock again.

[@LGSyrus]

Make the liquid tanks wall thickness double. No more pressure damage in normal circumstances.

[@Lightman0359]

Could you do a series of powered mechanized airlocks, like 5 in a row for safety next to each other, with tiles above and below, that only allow 1 dupe through at a time to make a crusher lock? It should behave like a gas crusher as the 1 dupe walks between the airlocks, preventing more water from getting in your chlorine chamber, at worst a small blob may follow. this assumes you can crush liquid like you can crush gas.

[@theegodkingmammz1595]

Hey- i had a thought… if sponge slugs still offput hydrogen, would it not be a worthy endeavor to have them sit in your water tank with a gas pump up top to harvest the hydrogen they offgas? Put a string of dummy pipes with an outlet on either side to just drop the liquid back into the tank? Hmm…

[@alonsogutierrez3214]
