Overview of NEW Bionic Booster Pack DLC - Oxygen Not Included

[@GrindThisGame]

Should I start a new playthrough with this test DLC?

[@thejerre]

looks like a lot of new stuff to play with

[@carrieactually2561]

Yes pls

[@giacomo97jack]

YES, please! :3

[@Upemm]

Haven’t played in awhile so would be good for me

[@BIGJATPSU]

Strap a minature nuclear power bank to the back of a robotic Dupe and have it help around the base, why not! Judgement Day here we come!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DyrianLightbringer]

When I heard about the bionic dupes, I had hoped it would be new research that enabled you to augment your dupes, not alternate dupes to be printed.

[@viktoranderas9541]

Yeah me too. But this still seems really cool.

[@GrindThisGame]

A way to convert a dupe into a cyborg would be cool.

[@Stephen64138]

It could have been much much better if that was something like overcharging the printing pod, allowing you to customize your dupes in some way or another. I'm really not sold on that. On a metal poor planetoid, all of this looks more like a handicap than anything else.

[@MrRafagigapr]

they seem to basically be upgraded biobots

[@Stephen64138]

@@MrRafagigapr While biobots was a niche funny thing, this is an entire DLC..

[@TheSighphiguy]

it would be cool if the dupe operating the remote worker used the same animations as the remote worker itself.

[@GrindThisGame]

That would be a nice touch.

[@midnightraver666]

Cleaning the plumbed bathrooms breaks my heart. One more thing requiring dupe labor and maybe crashing the toilets. But all the bionic stuff is neat.

[@seedlesswatermelon566]

I'm not sure if thats right... He didn't properly stop the bionic dupes from accessing the bathroom. While I haven't actually tested this, I assume that the bathroom clearing only happens when the bionic dupes use the bathrooms when they're not supposed to.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah I'm not sure... more testing needed.

[@Nettechnologist]

Like licking 9v batteries to make sure they are still good

[@GrindThisGame]

We gave a tried it.

[@realsushrey]

i am very excited for this DLC. This will breathe so much new life into this game. So many new ideas for how to do things in game.

[@GrindThisGame]

Ooops it is EdWIREdo.. not Edweirdo.... I think I may continue to call him Edweirdo though.

[@azrobbins01]

I thought it was Edweirdo when I read it as well. I kinda like that better was well, even though it makes more sense the other way.

[@fruitbatcat]

He will always be Edweirdo to us now :)

[@carlosromero2839]

Are the hot and cold tolerances the same as standard dupes? Do the bionic dupes also come with a Frost Proof trait? And Klei is slacking. This is a prime chance to make the bio bots clean the toilet by having the morb exit the suit and "eliminate" all the filth.

[@arigatoespacialsuperadmiti7316]

I heard their weakness is getting wet.

[@GScully42]

I gave it a try after watching this, it adds some fun to the game and more stuff to do. I'm at cycle 30 ish and found that the plant pulveriser uses slime to make oil for the biodupes. I'm probably going to get it when it releases. They added blueprints to the wire colors, I guess that could help with something.

[@GrindThisGame]

Nice tips. I will try the slime thing out.

[@cheetah2003-z5w]

Great sneak peek at the DLC. Thank you!

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks for the visit

[@LagiacrusHunter]

Judging by the Gunk being purple, it looks like if Bionic Dupes use Lavatories they'll ruin the toilets and need servicing. Best to make sure they can only use the extraction station. I really hope the power banks can recharge Rovers and Flydos, since it looks like the Flydos interact with the power bank system. Sending a whole squad of robots to a planet using the new Robo Pilot and fully prepping it for colonization would be amazing

[@sethkaye7897]

"Dreaming of Electric Sheep", I like it.

[@SebastianPerezG]

You misses the automatic Robot that you can use to fly a rocket !!

[@GrindThisGame]

oh yeah!

[@alamrasyidi4097]

regal bammoths are renewable source of gold _ore._ probably one of the best cheap material you can get our hands on. even if you dont need to keep making batteries with ore, it sure looks possible to do. though its probably DLC locked in that case...

[@GrindThisGame]

Nice! I think you can just charge batteries.

[@thommy261291]

or just drill asteroid fields

[@soundspark]

​@@GrindThisGameThe eco ones, right?

[@GrindThisGame]

@@soundspark yes

[@WandaGagne]

This is so amazing. So Precious. Bionic Dupes and robobuddies. Would love if there was a kind of Sentient Remote Worker, or a Ghost(Dupe) In the Machine situation, robotic variant of The Hermit to recruit. Also a Defragmentation Berth ; crops or animals to produce metal, fuel ; Bug-Fix something or other ; and higher grade lubricant that doesn't use gunk. Possibly Bionic Upgrades to standard dupes.

[@soundspark]

Next time my Pod prints I'm going to save-scum until I get my first Bionic Duplicant.

[@arigatoespacialsuperadmiti7316]

I think remote workers are gonna be so good, and maybethe little flying drones too depending of a few factors. Like if the remote workers can just use machines or if they can make deliveries. Still, having them operate some annoying things are gonna be amazing, in hot and hostile enviroments. Possibly even ranching.

[@PeetHobby]

Are the microchips the Bionics great the same as the microchips the power station produce?

[@GrindThisGame]

They are from what I read.

[@Dtats2]

I love the 230 Million Ohm resistor sitting at the top of the power bank charger. you gotta love the detail they've put into this game!

[@GrindThisGame]

do the bands indicate 230M Ohms?

[@Dtats2]

@@GrindThisGame yes. when you read the bands from the full side to the empty side, the bands have a value for each color. there's charts for them, but in this case, it's Red=2, Orange=3 and Purple=10^7

[@vitorfray]

Aw man, I wish my PC was working to play this gem again.

[@toddblankenship7164]

what happen to it?

[@vitorfray]

@toddblankenship7164 old age, motherboard fried on its own.

[@GrindThisGame]

:( losing the MB is rough.

[@oran0663]

Do the other Ceres critters have new morphs or just the bammoths

[@GrindThisGame]

Didn't see any notes about others

[@oran0663]

@ oh well, bammoth is nice on its own ig. Will have to look to see if it does anything new that will make me change ranch designs

[@Y2KNW]

Regal Bammoths were part of the update with the buildings that let you dump liquids and gasses directly into pipes. The last quality-of-life update.

[@oran0663]

@ ah, I did a play through after the initial ceres update but haven’t done one since. Gonna do another soon tho I think

[@azrobbins01]

Maybe Meteorites for metal ore? But then that won't work for a lot of maps...

[@GrindThisGame]

Good point! They can be recharged so it's not a big deal.

[@Shadow_of_Christ]

Unless there’s a way to convert them I’m not really interested in them and some sort of “bed” should be available so that you aren’t wasting metal for power banks you should be able to charge them without having to craft battery’s over and over.

[@GrindThisGame]

I'm pretty sure you can just charge them.

[@Shadow_of_Christ]

@ I hope cuz they are kinda a down grade. On one hand tho this is a way to stop colony death should you have a problem with that. Just trap on cuz he can’t really die.

[@johncundiss9098]

Needing to clean the bathrooms rather sucks. Now you will need to build twice as many because there will always be one or two down at any one given time. And here is the big question.. Bionic Bug Dissociative. What the H E double toothpicks does that mean for a stress reaction? 18.33 in. I can't even say that word let alone know what it means. lol. Good video. Thank you for the sneak peek. P.S. The flying robots will kill framerate just like flying critters and dupes in jetpacks. Wonder if they gonna fix that.

[@GrindThisGame]

He probably just stands around. I don't usually let me dupes stress out so I rarely notice :P

[@Hanmacx]

The bathroom probably only needed to be cleaned be he mixed Gunk with the normal bathroom setup

[@theeutecticpoint]

an interesting variation on the game.

[@ivanmarcusdegoeslopes1705]

this video is quite the mess, can't tell if these duples are worth the trouble. but some info is better than no info.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah I'm still learning and it's still in testing so subject to change.

[@Hanmacx]

Check the properties of Gunk Can it be heated up into another oil based element?

[@GrindThisGame]

I'll investigate.

[@karliversen1072]

Is this a real dlc from klei or a modpack somehow?

[@GrindThisGame]

a real DLC coming soon.

wait... wintermute?

Yes?

[@Serpher1]

Why do robots need an oxygen tank???

[@GrindThisGame]

Because they are part organic?

[@Serpher1]

@@GrindThisGame I wonder then what's their usefulness. They could end up like biobots.

[@somedude5951]

You missed lots of new buttons, on the bottom of the screen.

[@GrindThisGame]

I will take a look thanks.

[@ihyaakmal5995]

I just saw that dlc mentioned in the steam game page. I thought it's not new, and just unpopular and whatever.

[@yaki_ebiko]

ooh, now we can work under extreme radiation with that remote thing. I felt like this is a proper DLC now and frost pack is just a rushed version of it.

[@GrindThisGame]

I'm going to build a cyborg army :P

[@MrRafagigapr]

frost pack has 3 new planets new critters and a few buildings and the geothermal plant frost pack is more new places the bionic dlc is more uptimization and more ways to play existing challenges , both are good and their content multiplies by each other by interactions like for example new regal bammoths being a souce of infinite metal for bionic dupes

[@alfonsneumann1878]

Hopefully it comes out before Christmas .. this year !

[@GrindThisGame]

I guess we shall see.

[@Tester-lk8om]

Come on, man, I'm not even three minutes in and spotted several wrong information. If you make a showcase, please ensure you know what you're talking about.

[@GrindThisGame]

What was wrong?

[@Stephen64138]

Not 2 min in and... Yeah... It require metal ore and there's no easy renewable source of it. And in you spawn on a metal poor planetoid, you might not want to waste so much of it. I'm definitely not sold on that DLC. Very out of place for me and very far away from the mostly good Frosty DLC.

[@GrindThisGame]

You can recharge them.

[@vikmar44]

the bad overview I saw, bro) You don't work)

[@jake1082]

First

[@GrindThisGame]

FAST!

[@jake1082]

@ I saw it on my notifications instantly when it popped up on my phone, while I was watching futurama also

[@basyapupkin3444]

Looks like least intresting DLC imho. Unnecesary fiddly.

[@Stephen64138]

Very much agree with that. I would much rather see innovations and new things on planetoid features, new geysers, events, new maps and stuff than a bunch of rainbow cyborgs with their lot of issues.

[@GrindThisGame]

I need more time with the features to see if they are worth it.
