Oxygen Not Included - Northernlion Plays - Episode 16

[@Northernlion]

Hello all! Thanks for the constructive feedback, I have been reading it more closely. On the next episode I gut and refactor my power grid in an attempt to deal with the circuit overloads, and start to sequester my slime (don't quote that out of context) in a hermetically sealed room to quell the spread of germs and slimelung. Thanks for your patience as I slowly go from peanut mind to galaxy brain.

[@sleepingisathing6598]

its more fun that you make some mistakes anyways, when youre mad good at this game the major reason for failure is lag and crashing (+200cycle)

[@crazedowen]

HE’S DONE IT

[@potterinhe11]

Hey NL my Dude you should connect the ladders that are nearby each other in order to let you duplicants get around easier!

[@olasarcasm]

I have no feedback to give. At this point, the game has gone from emergent gameplay to UI confusion mechanics I don't understand. Sorry, Daddy. You did your best and I love you for it!

[@yurromman]

Egg, you have a hydrogen generator in your main grid after transformator, so yeah circuit overload.

[@Ruan-jt6fw]

"The water stuff is VERY VERY secondary to us right now" Oh shit

[@WMriswith]

NL, I want to recommend you start using priority 8 for "mostly important" orders. Leave priority 9 for true emergency procedures. 8 is still ahead of 5, but it keeps 9 available as a safety buffer.

[@kempai]

Your hydrogen generator is on the same line, making it more than what the wires can handle.

[@MatthewGunnin]

I love the sporadic making of 3 medical meds out of nowhere. This is why I watch NL. Does it make sense? For the lay oxygen not included player, absolutely not. But for your average human using only their real world experience, of course it does! More medical beds means less sickness, right?

[@beemic5833]

Too bad there is not some kind of animal that eats dirt and turns it into coal...for essentially infinite coal...

[@-------..--Max-----___..__--..]

He used a priority 7 AND a priority 8, ITS'S A CHRISTMAS MIRICLE

[@jorma8567]

Eggmas*

[@jamma246]

His correct use of the priority system is a priority 6. There are far more relevant things that are leading to his downfall.

[@-------..--Max-----___..__--..]

Small step[s my dude

[@jorma8567]

"There are lots of obsidian, can that be refined to coal?" Yes, solid Lava can obviously be turned into coal.

[@wilddogspam]

Glass and organic matter are basically the same thing.

[@donkeysunite25]

wolfspam windows are made of organic matter obviously

[@AnAverageJho]

Glass is generally made of SiO2, CaO, Al2O3, PbO, MgO and other oxides, none of which are organic compounds. Organic coumpounds would be anything that contains a lot of carbon, such as alcohols, alkanes, alkenes, et cetera...

[@moonlight69]

Always a delight to see sarcasm lost on someone.

[@sleepingisathing6598]

mainittu?

[@soos3685]

It's really heartwarming in a way to see how many people are backing the Egg up on all this electricity min-maxing

[@gamma-smash2157]

NL, you killed all the creatures that make coal by eating left over resources.

[@Xeroxias]

Loving NL's weirdly inspiring lectures about about overcoming failure peppered throughout this series.

[@lagspike7763]

Our child is making Undertale references... They grow so fast.

[@rillip3]

TFW you see his water while he struggles to keep power on with three generators. Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru!

[@Obi117kh]

What am I reading here? 🤔

[@moonmaan]

NL, if the default is priority 5, then anything above it is the highest priority. This means instead of making a thing priority 9 because it needs to be done immediately, change it to a 6. Then if something more urgent comes up you can make it a 7, then an 8, etc.

[@SlashSabercat]

The wattage pulled is displayed over each item in the power view. You can run everything in series, like a chain, but keep it under 1kW for each length. For example, the lights are 30W each so you could have 33.33 (repeating of course!) lights in series on the standard wire. 120W devices, you can have 8 in series, 240W can have 4 or a combo of each but keep it under 1kW. hook you hydrogen generator to your batteries too!

[@kcheckathorn6924]

Welcome back to 'NL screws himself by building 30 batts on day 3'

[@PongzeLor]

IT’S A PRIORITY 8 THIS EGGI HAS BROUGHT BACK A NEW HOPE

[@TheScoutnation]

The egg is blind, but if he was perfect this would be boring. Keep trying NL, keep trying!

[@jacobv_]

This series is going down, and I only want to see what the weird brain thing does

[@aotterino201]

13:42 Cracked me up. Yes, those should all be heavy wires because they're before the transformers and handle more than 1 kw. Can't wait to see the next one where you fix it all.

[@Alex-ec4wu]

Here a tip, run heavy wire as a single unbroken line, then branch off of the main line with transformers. Add a few switch so power won't flow backwards.

[@Marconius6]

Make the entire battery and generator area connected by hi-wattage wires; you're putting all the strain there on regular wires now, so they overload before the transformer can help.

[@Luteloots]

Has anyone been keeping track of how long now his entire base has had slimelung...? Just wondering for uhh "reasons"

[@PongzeLor]

Here’s a tip NL Don’t randomly roll priority 9’s over things. The button makes buildings priority 9’s too. For example you priority 9’d a sweep and made the storage box priority 9 forcing your duplicants to place items in there and waste time.

[@procrastinator7408]

"Although it looks like now that it's a perfect system" LOL!

[@thirdrebirth7683]

Listening to this while not watching I feel like I have it on repeat by the number of times you say "I don't understand power" "I know I say this all the time" "These are really really priority 9s" Maybe I do have it onr epeat lul.

[@JRandRahl]

Doing great NL Ive had this game since you first played this game and you're doing lot better than me!

[@matthewbryant3531]

The numbers above the machines is how much watts each machine use, add the numbers together n make sure no normal wire adds upto over 1000, i think i have max of 5 machines connected to a normal wire

[@ethanharvey6964]

The circuit was overloaded because of the hydrogen generator, no?

[@derram0k]

Nope. You can generate an infinite amount of power and the wires will be fine. The problem comes from machines consuming more power than the wires can handle.

[@ethanharvey6964]

derram so wouldnt it be that if the hydrogen generator is running it is creating more power in the circuit so the wires are unableto handle it

[@Bepositive77]

My guess is that the series ends when the heat from the generators and batteries spreads to the farm he has built right above them. Cooling systems require research into design and knowledge of how the different materials interact with the environment...

[@haideri0313]

First it was 'more battteries!' Now it's 'more transformers!' Just tear down 14 of your 18 batteries and your second coal generator.

[@penapower894]

Hans Flemmenwerfer and have insufficient power?

[@ashardalondragnipurake]

he would have enough power if he just turned off all the pointless lamps those lice plants dont need light which is 80% of his power consumption

[@CasperDar]

Ryan ''This is going to be a priority 9'' Letourneau

[@TheInverseGentleman]

Wire overload is the thing that made me just stop playing this game

[@derram0k]

The overload happens when machines try to consume more power than the wire is rated for.

[@samms9403]

It's an annoying mechanic that forces you to rebuild your whole base. Genius.

[@Luteloots]

Or...just understand how electricity works to begin with and only wire up 1000w worth of devices to a single circuit. All of the devices tell you how much power they use, doing some simple math to figure it out shouldn't be hard.

[@flackbyte]

I agree with OP. And it's not about complexity for me, it's about being forced to do boring work. While other games, like Kerbal, make the math fun to do and learn, ONI just makes it a drag.

[@imbored4615]

Luteloots, go back to watching rick and morty.

[@UrFriendXD]

Perhaps for the power you are getting strain because you are pulling twice the amount of power than a normal wire can handle. To fix this you need to have the normal wires pulling off a grid of heavy watt wires which have enough capacity to allow 2 normal wires to pull off.

[@stopdropro]

use heavy watt wires for battery and regular wires for the out put

[@Mozumin]

Please NL make medical rooms for the medical beds. Put a mess table for each bed and a single outhouse in them too so that the patients can eat and go to the bathroom.

[@9justgaming]

Old video but I haven’t seen anyone talk about how he hasn’t hooked his wires up , white means not connected right ? 14 minutes in an i don’t see him realizing anytime soon

[@Garlant29]

You should probably just start a new colony at this point and try to incorporate what you learned about power in the next one, this colony is just a clusterfuck on so many levels even if you don't see it yet. I mean even when it just comes to the base layout, over the course of this entire series I'd say you've wasted 50+ days worth of algae and water with supplying unused areas of this huge base with oxygen and wasting water producing pointless mush loafs while meal lice rots away in the storage. All of these lamps of yours are completely pointless and just waste power since you don't need the decor boost and they don't affect meal lice growth, and those lamps together with your coal generators and your two dozen batteries heat up your base pretty fast, which will become a problem sooner rather than later when the heat stops your food from growing. Another thing is that you're close to running out of copper, since each of your batteries eats up 400 kg of raw metal that's basically 7.2 t. of copper ore that you're missing right now. You should also think about setting up a water system earlier, so that you can start recycling your water way ahead before water shortage starts becoming a problem, since that's another thing that this colony is close to running out of. There's still a lot of content that you haven't seen, there's a lot of stuff to find in all the other biomes too that you've barely explored yet since you're still in the starting zone. TL;DR: Fuck you egg

[@homer8798]

Fuck your Gar. If you dislike the content then stop watching. The world would be a better place without your toxic iamverysmart feedback. It’s unneeded and rude.

[@PongzeLor]

I, the sane man, will say a new colony start will not happen. He’s not a perfectionist and will never make a long surviving colony. Part of what I watch for is to eventually see his downfall although a little sense will help along the way but not to your extreme.

[@EyeTry203]

Eliot_Chill go back to kindergarten dumbfuck!

[@Luteloots]

I believe he's just a few cycles away from his entire colony dying to slimelung...and I'm not sure how fast he can possibly cure that so this Colony might literally be too doomed to save at this point, so he might be restarting sooner than later.

[@Mysticfateee]

... There's biomes to this? i thought everything we saw when he zoomed out was the actual size of the map and you couldn't scroll left or right to find resources and such

[@disbeafakename167]

I just have this mental image of NL looking in the mirror... "I'm getting fat... Better brush my teeth more often! That'll face the problem!"

[@ComradeAlpharius]

Egg slime lung is lethal

[@PongzeLor]

People are saying the hydrogen generator is the problem but from what I understand the problem is the consumption not the production of power. Am I wrong? I haven’t had this much power in the game before.

[@zephranarx2172]

Northernlion, the reason ot the circuit overloading is because you have all the systems on one power grid. How it works is that you want multiple power grids, with the... power jumpers i believe? which is what the Heavy duty wires are also for. the large batteries are meant for the heavy duty wires, the power jump is simply to take power from the batteries and generators to different appliances. how you could do different power grids: one for lights, one for power, one for ventilation, etc.

[@photosyntheticzee9915]

Pump h2 into the pump that already delivers h2.

[@jaypham3393]

Or make a 3rd series of Planet Coaster?

[@Michizen917]

For power use the huge deposit of hydrogen on the right, build a pump one the top and a generator which use hydrogen where now are coal generators, some gas pipe to connect them (like the hydrogen sistem you have on the left) and voila you have a huge quantity of energy ;)

[@benbrinck6257]

It’s the hydrogen generator that’s making it 1600 kilowatts

[@Nyan1701]

Queue men at work’s highwire

[@nicdani5299]

Make the whole grid that connects the batteries to each other and to the power transformer out of the large wires then there will be 20Kw being pushed to the transformers but only 1Kw going out from the transformer

[@drizzypuffs523]

Start over!

[@ElPared]

Does anyone else buy games NL plays just to see if they can play them better? I did this with RimWorld and I'll probably end up doing it for this game.

[@Nekonixx]

If you want to avoid overloading, just make a few different grids. Puting everything on 1 grid, ofc its gonna overload.

[@Psyrexkc]

one of the coal power generators is no longer connected to anything!

[@DeathByRabbit]

Wouldn't issue be solved temporarily if he just turned off the stone conversion machine he isn't using? I mean it's still using power..

[@rynieryarom4277]

It doesn't matter how much you pump in a circuit, it's how much things USE power that adds load to the circuit. Also you don't need wire bridge to go through ladders. Use to wire bridge when crossing two different power lines

[@HolyDeviant1]

This all makes me wonder what kind of wack-ass clusterfuck Dwarf Fort NL would make.

[@legion999]

You promised an imminent catastrophe, comment section, where is it? It's cycle 55 and I'm still waiting...

[@lowearthsurfer]

Maybe NL makes mistake on purpose just to trip everyone's OCD, it's genius when you think about it

[@noluzhere8319]

Ur hydrogen gen is overloading since not in the grid

[@beckie8011]

NL don't be self conscious about this electricity nonsense, this looks confusing as fuck. You're doing better than I would...

[@stevenunivers9354]

I waited. And I did it.

[@schregen]

Bam! Bam Bam! 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

[@daxbittner8685]

Have the hydrogen generator pump into the batteries and not overload your system

[@samconnor2613]

look at the heat

[@Cameroshaft]

Look around pls

[@nemeanlyan7918]

YO MA BOI NL WAS FEATURED ON iFUNNY

[@LolfoollorXD]

I would never get why NL build a wire bridge and then build another wire in the centre like wtf is the point of the bridge. Aftef that, he change it to heavy watt wire. *Facepalm*

[@frenchexpat5601]

Read the comments, NL.

[@PongzeLor]

NL read the comments

[@Maetthw]

Is your having co2 and coal troubles why not use the hydrogen to your right for generators instead of coal, then drain the co2 in your base to the bottom of that big pit. the big pit which will now e empty because you're using the hydrogen for power.

[@JayRPGaming]

Priority 8.9 XD

[@jaypham3393]

Bring back Astroneer?

[@Vipertooth007]

The development process is really slow on that game, not much has been added to make it worth coming back to.

[@brendanisstupid1]

Sir Yakkinton That's really disappointing. It looked like a hell of a lot of fun. The odd addition every now and again would make it interesting enough to keep going back to.

[@MrSaltycrackers]

I dont get the power

[@d1amxnd]

Please dont upload so late omg

[@Vipertooth007]

Why does it matter when he uploads?
