Under Pressure [Ostranauts S1 EP3]

[@Diarmuhnd]

Cheers Greenbeef, have a fun weekend!

[@Greenbeef]

Same to you my dude!

[@gregwenzel2871]

The ship is slowly coming together. Excellent!

[@Greenbeef]

Better than quickly coming apart!

[@jeffreyvandoren3740]

Nice bit of progress.

[@Greenbeef]

Slow and steady

[@StarlasAiko]

One of the earlier items you want for your ship is either a EVA suit or a CO2 scrubber. As CO2 builds up in your ship's cabin every time you take off your pressure suit helmet, you have less and less time in the suit before triggering the CO2 alert.

[@Greenbeef]

Finally read up on the CO2 problem. Definitely a priority to solve that issue on the ship. I find an Eva suit soon, just need to start using it.

[@Melganor]

Ooh! Nice!

[@Greenbeef]

🤌🏻

[@MrMaltavius]

I'm only 5 minutes in, but you are holding your PDA and your lamp is on your Clip point. Switch them around and you'll see more stuff, you can even drop it lit in an area you're working in.

[@MrMaltavius]

Haha, one minute later you turn the light on.

[@Greenbeef]

Slowly learning each mechanic as I fumble through the game, hah

[@ManuelSLaraBisch]

I'm calling it now, 45 episodes from now Lucas Hansen dies from tooth decay aboard his luxurious space yacht because he never found another toothbrush.

[@Greenbeef]

Space cavities are a slow but insidious killer.

[@IstvanK_PC]

It puts the floorplates in the cargo, or it doesn't get the hose again! You need to build a second airlock now after the current one, so you don't depressurize a huge chunk of your ship every time you leave it. Always be nice to your ship, you never know when its ai will rise up against you. Building around the bridge is a good idea I think, you still have easy access to your airlock. Helmet on the station floor means free helmet. 5 second rule and all.

[@Greenbeef]

Yeah slapping a second door there would work. I just need a door that takes up less than 5 tiles. It’s a bit absurd. Who knows whose boogers are smeared inside that thing.

[@Brandurful]

Scrap or dismantle doors and walls if you don't plan on using or selling them for faster access. You can use your last door as an airlock if you step on the doorway, wait until it closes before you step through to the derelict. The blue pressure you see is the N2 pressure, press "G" to see ALL you different gasses ! Oh.. and thrusters are good value for the space they take so don't scrap or dismantle them, repair and sell them instead.

[@Greenbeef]

Ah, need to start using the gas overlay. I really need to get a co2 scrubber so I can get more done each trip.

[@Brandurful]

@@Greenbeef Having no or very low CO2 and high O2 (say 23-24) pressures will let you stay out much longer in your pressure suit. Or just get a real EVA suit. Always check fixer in old emporium, he gives a LOT better prices, but won't always buy everything. Check his inventory refresh timer as it sometimes is just minutes before he changes and could actually switch to buying whatever you are trying to sell !!

[@Greenbeef]

Finally snag one soon and the requisite consumables. Game changer.

[@joelmitchell7597]

I ditched my crowbar and scrap or dismantle any doors in my way. They give up useful scrap that can be used to fix things that sell for 4 digits or better

[@Greenbeef]

It seems like a redundant item if you have a welder and some batteries.

[@MrMaltavius]

Repairing when connected to OKLG costs money in docking fees, so if you have O2 and Battery Charge, just go slowly back to OKLG and spend the time on repairing.

[@Greenbeef]

Valid point.

[@StarlasAiko]

You closet up your growth section with walls too soon. If you had left it without walls a bit longer, it would have been easier to grow the floor space further. Decide on an outline/size and don't place walls until you get to the final border. Alternatuively, if you need the atmo in that section and it is going to be very large, have a double-door section (fake airlock) in the new wall, so you can get out there to grow your floor without constantly decompressing.

[@Greenbeef]

I’ll have a single door towards the end. Spend a ton of time working on a single big derelict and get it built out on the other side soon. Next big expansion I’ll use that method.

[@sirnirvikingur]

You're on fire man. but the thruster needs to be connected to an intake and then put an N2 tank in front of were you see the arrows on the thruster.

[@redrcl]

Nope your thrusters will pull from any intake. It doesn’t need to be adjacent to the thruster.

[@Greenbeef]

Interesting. I’m guessing it just needs conduit.

[@sirnirvikingur]

@@Greenbeef Ok i think you dont need to be precise on were the intake is, i think it can be anywere lol.

[@sirnirvikingur]

@@redrcl Ah good to know, thank you mate

[@MrMaltavius]

The 233K is Kelvin, so it's negative -50C or -58F, you don't have a heater

[@Greenbeef]

Definitely need to get all the atmospherics setup.

[@Jinxswift]

Woohoooo! Another episode 🎉

[@Greenbeef]

More spaceman shenanigans.

[@MrMaltavius]

My character went to sleep on the station and didn't wake up, he had a cracked rib and died from internal bleeding... this game is rough.

[@Greenbeef]

Oof, that is pretty brutal. I went through about 7 characters before this run.

[@bulletstop100]

This is getting interesting.

[@Greenbeef]

Really has a lot of potential to get quite complex, I feel.

[@SageWon-1aussie]

Man, the excitement in your voice when you said "floors" was disturbing...

[@Greenbeef]

Don’t underestimate a middle aged dude who starts a renovation project… just to leave it 90% done for 10 years.
