Here we go again. Let's hope worldgen remains stable this time.
lavish sail
My upgraded design
green sluice
amazingly the wood heater remains on the “holy grid”
just a couple layers down
the new world gen still has not failed the grid
lavish sail
Input door opens once every 2 days for 150 seconds, so everything can get done at once, and the dupes are always allowed exit via the upper door
ill probably have to tweak the timings to make sure everything gets done in the time alloted

Here we go again. Let's hope worldgen remains stable this time.
Out of curiosity, what happened to worldgen?
civic sequoia
They adjusted the base game and SO Classic worldgen for Ceres to reduce failure rates. The second time Ceres worldgen has gotten clobbered.
tribal nova
Ah yes, I see there's even biome changes (I compared against the beta's files)
pearl relic
Quick, tell Methian!
I typically deconstruct that 1 wood heater poi tho 😇
But pn the 1st ever seed we got, I built cots directly beside iirc 🤔 (I'm getting confused between the different august maps + small beta tests)
summer mantle
btw, what is the correct sacred grid approach for insulating a room?
actually, it's 45c at the back (left) of the room, I mght have to de-insulate it soon.
pearl relic
Or desable the heater for a while
summer mantle
Nah, I like having 1 heater available for them to get the buff from on demand.
Though that reminds me of what I did for my PWater/Pdirt disposal area, 20 second buffer from the motion sensor for the space heater, so they can dry off on the way back.
drifting igloo
Wait it got renewed again?
civic sequoia
It did.
drifting igloo
Welp.
drifting igloo
amazingly the wood heater remains on the “holy grid”
You lied to me :(
civic sequoia
The bottom floor of it is. It's only three-high, so it has to break the holiness somehow.
You can keep the heater itself on the grid.
summer mantle
If the top floor was off we could just rebuild it.
I suppose we can just move it once the coat rack has been used but it's not the same.
pearl relic
Vertel, you forgot to pin the seed btw (I know it's the same....still)

Are you trying to keep heat in or (even more) cold out? :D
amber bone
eventually, the heat in. Obviously I'm missing some pieces on the west wall 😄
I had a plan to use the radbolt plate -- until I realized it requires disks I don't have.
summer mantle
heh
amber bone
I want to collect nectar for an external cooling loop for plants to feed the bunnies and floxes, but I am slightly puzzled how.
the seal sucks out the nectar, but that's for ethanol. How do I access it?
summer mantle
pipes.
amber bone
from a ... tree?
summer mantle
It's automatic once the tree hits 100% nectar
You don't want your seals getting in the way, or dupes harvesting branches either.
amber bone
huh, I see.
summer mantle
They make space fun.
summer mantle
Yes. :D

Wondering if it's a mod messing up, or do others see the tree pipe output despite being in unknown fog.
pearl relic
only mods I have : Planning tool, better automation overlay and DSS

do dupes need to harvest the tree for nectar to get into the pipe? or does it need to accumulate enough to output a blob?

so pretty
amber bone
you have 11 in one spot? I did not think of multiple in a tile. Brilliant.
pearl relic
was not expecting to be able to stack them either at first 😛
plucky aurora
files that idea away for near future use
amber bone
okay... looking at the DSS code, this doesn't seem too scary for modding. It would just be the compiling part I'd have to learn.
pearl relic
I need DSS2.0 : replace that button with drop down menu to select interest, give 3 dupes with that interest, no re-rolling 😛

I’m a little surprised to see not to at much food growing in a lot of the screenshots.. I lost a colony (1 dupe died = restart) for ||rushing alveo vero instead of pikeapples||— what are other folks doing early on for food? (I’ll add this is also my first run moving all the difficulty sliders up a notch so maybe that’s part of it)
amber bone
they seem to live off 5 planted, some excess from the floxes, and a lot of wild plants.
occasionally a giant bunny feeds them for a while, too.
amber bone
Whew... pulled it off. It really bothered me to have anything but water. 😉
pearl relic
I’m a little surprised to see not to at much food growing in a lot of the screen...
Wild sleet wheat into frost burn and bbq supplement
The fact that the food is easily stored deep frozen in sterile atmosphere in the open also help a lot
plucky aurora
I mostly ate the big bunnies until after Carnivore. Then frost buns from wild sleet wheat. But I also only have 5 dupes, so don't need as much food.

that is some very inconvenient vent locations. i wonder if that was changed as part of klei's evil plans to ruin this month's map
plucky aurora
I see you scheming Mr. Pip.
green sluice
Quick hide the seed!
amber bone
fortunately, Pips do not actually teleport, so it's safe in the box 😉
plucky aurora
That's why I put the seeds in that room 🙂
amber bone
If you don't have plans for the seed, you can always compost it.
if you do have plans... I'm scared and curious at the same time.
pearl relic
they are a great use in gyms
not the athletic gyms but like building gym
since dupes level while doing a task, reducing the skill by 10 make the task last for about for ever,, helping it level with fewer build commands
amber bone
ahh.
What's the priority? Why would anyone want to set that?
(No, it does not show in the Priority view, either...)
worthy vessel
no priority. get to togglin'
amber bone
yet another reason toggle is double up for everyone...
pearl relic
OMG be sure Klei never ever think of that! It would be the real critter to kill on sight, even worst than those slugs
plucky aurora
If you don't have plans for the seed, you can always compost it.
I have always composted them in the past. This time I didn't. Don't ask me why! Maybe I've lost my self-preservation instinct.

Oh. The building itself??
summer mantle
Which Beetas will do with Uranium Ore doors.
..or at least they used to. Doors are weird.

Yeah. The natural tiles behind doors does some weird things in the game.

If you lock 200kg of ice debris inside a door and let melt, depending on which tile it gets locked in, it destroys the door.

I think trying to build my great hall and bathrooms to the right was a mistake. The random wolframite can't be removed yet.
On the flip side, the dupes currently have the zaniest shaped mess hall I've ever built.

That's a good idea. I've never worked with the bees before - now's the time!
Mind sharing a picture of your set-up?
rich raven
Sadly at work.
But beetiny turn into a new hive at age 3 if there are no other hives in same "room". So I made pneumatic door cage rooms, hive needs 2x3, on same level as traps.
Once the hive starts producing beetiny they walk onto traps. Get eaten and produce hydrogen. If you have extra PWater, I used bathroom overflow, you can setup hydroponics tile for additional traps, just keep them on same level/floor as hives.
plucky aurora
Thanks for the pointers!
amber bone
I'm digging tunnels to funnel the steam to a central location. I have optimism this won't be a horrible thing.
I want to harness the heat of the lower biome, but everytime I have tried, my aquatuner overheated. I wonder if I should do a spike instead.
no, yes, I should definately use a spike. Why didn't I think of that sooner...
amber bone
Hopefully this will work. Somewhat "small" paths to the place under the vent, then compress into that area with a spike. Or this is a horrible idea. 😄
worthy vessel
whats the point of compressing exactly
amber bone
I felt it would help empty the corridors between cycles of the vent going off.
it might not matter, though...
amber bone
if I'm pumping water at a full rate. As this is a steam battery, I might not move that quicky?
amber bone
this is the geothermal thing, not a geyser?
it's been idle for days.
I don't exactly have a way to burn 5kW at this time 😄
my theory is that the water will be routed back the vent, which blasts it back out again. I also sap the heat from the obsidian, allowing me to have free power.
amber bone
although that looks like a smaller setup
smaller setup compared to..?
worthy vessel
it can support like 25 turbines and I only count 2. 30kg/s vs 4kg/s is all

that was temporary to unblock the third vent.
I was planning on six.

I know dupe body temperature affects the water coming out of the toilet, but I don't think it affects water coming out of the sink. I bet that warmth boost is what keeps your toilet fine while your sink water freezes.
jaunty monolith
Hm. Makes sense. And the other sink is -35 instead of -39, so I bet that it's really just a knife's edge
pearl relic
I run outhouses 4 ever (and use the pdirt produced to get some extra oxygen with subliamtion station)
rich raven

Glad I could help. Most other maps that have them, they aren't as beneficial since you can get easy power/hydrogen elsewhere.
amber bone
My base is a steady 20C from a nectar loop, so I have water no problem.
I even took out my wood burners.
plucky aurora
I've been resisting the idea of making an insulated "warm" base for no good reason. I guess I'm enjoying the idea of living in a cold place and also somewhat worried that as soon as any part gets warm, the whole planet will melt. It's probably just conditioning from all previous playthroughs that heat=bad.
amber bone
Once I sealed it off, that didn't concern me. There's a lot of places where it's pretty warm on the planet anyway. As you open those up, stuff melts. Just how it's going to work.
But it's not like I've made a giant puddle of the whole place.
plucky aurora
Unless you carefully carefully double-liquid-lock the hotter areas of and don't break the abyssalite unless you really really half to... just as a hypothetical example 😉
amber bone
I have a giant tunnel system sealed off with 250C+ steam. Seems to be okay, lol.
plucky aurora

I'm at the point where I could, theoretically, start making the infrastructure around the geothermal thingamagigs. But... I think I'll procrastinate for a while yet.

Due to the placement of the geothermal vent, a large amount of abyssalite is missing from containing the oil biome.
plucky aurora
Yeah, I spent a long time insulating that and vacuuming.
amber bone

amber bone
_squint_. Are you using the Fluid shipping mod?
yes.
jaunty monolith

No need for a pit of dirty water. Simply insert right here to be cleaned.
plucky aurora
Also, noticing that we found different metal volcanos. toddles off to explore the other direction
amber bone
yeah? cool. I have six geyser/vents to find.
plucky aurora
How're the narrow steam channels working out for you? I've been thinking about how to connect the three vents.
amber bone
there's only the compression points to really help the flow, so it's a bit slower than I was hoping... but overall, it's working fine.
The three vents have 24, 11, and 22kg of pressure each, which filters down to the 3.7kg needed to trigger the doors.
there's currently 29kg in the central box, but that feels a bit low considering the geo-vent is at 55%. The trick is re-adding the loss each time, but not adding too much. I'm still working on it. Since the time of the release isn't static for me (as I'm using steam as a battery), I am not sure how to add the additional water automatically.
I wish the vent had an automation port that told me when it fired off. The only thing I can think of is a reset detector at one of the vents, but need to figure out what that would be.
I guess the vents have a port... hm.
yes, this will work. Send a pulse from one of the vents to a liquid meter valve and the required new water will be added automatically.

Current task for me is making it to the surface and plumbing the trees there for free plastic.
actually, I think I'm finally setting up rad research first.

jaunty monolith
actually, I think I'm finally setting up rad research first.
That will do.
Wow. And my researcher still uses up those 100 bolts in the time it takes to charge 45 more. (Science 12)
amber bone
what's your rad/cycle?
jaunty monolith
Oops, I cropped it out of the screenshot. 144 though.
worthy vessel
i believe optimal is 2 wheeze worts, offset 2 tiles below for radbolt, then 2 wheeze worts. its a shame the optimal 5-wort setup is the ugliest
jaunty monolith
Switching to irrigated tiles would boost it a bit, but probably not that much.

Like Kathrynn has? Not sure what you're describing.
amber bone
no room for doors to turn off in that setup, either, Nigit.

not in sandbox but you get the idea
amber bone
optimally, I should have made the four the same height, but I did not, because aesthetics.
ah, I thought you meant stacked.
so yeah, kinda ugly 🙂
jaunty monolith

Let no one tell you aesthetics isn't the most important thing! 😆
amber bone
Water world... the column under the base doesn't even go halfway. Why is my water so unbalanced? (Spoiler because geyser location)
worthy vessel
tidal effect 😅
amber bone
oh? Interesting. That's quite the tide.
jaunty monolith
That will do.
I accidentally created a wheezewort pump with this setup. 7k oxygen in the top of this bubble 😅
amber bone
uh, whoops.
summer mantle
oh? Interesting. That's quite the tide.
Liquids under high pressure behave strangely

plucky aurora
I was just wondering what to do about a polluted water supply that doesn't require constant melting of polluted ice... and then I found ||two cool slush geyesers||.
amber bone
what do you need p,water for?
summer mantle
Clay
amber bone
... bammoth waste?
plucky aurora
Yeah, I'm going for crop irrigation. I don't need much, but I do need some. Now I have too much! 😄
I've finally set up some tepidizer stations to keep different farm rooms at different temperatures.
jaunty monolith
I feel like Floxes and Bammoths get stuck in walls so often when trying to move them about.
jaunty monolith
Oops. Too much oxygen. Popped eardrums for everyone...
amber bone
Cycle 545 : getting to the real rockets now. Also water world shenanigans.
green sluice
I hope you're storing that
So many people don't and it makes me sad 
amber bone
The water? Yeah. ^^
jaunty monolith
Ooooh, oops. The "keep plume squash cold by not allowing ethanol to accumulate in hydroponic tiles" only works as long as the plant isn't stifled. If it gets stifled, it stops consuming ethanol, and then you get hot ethanol building up which stops the plant from becoming un stifled.
orchid socket
I hope you're storing that
So many people don't and it makes me sad <:crybaby:32...
wdym storing the water?
amber bone
worthy vessel
liquid duplicating heathen
amber bone
I do what I can 🙂
orchid socket
you know ive never used an infinite liquid storage before. I should try it sometime.
plucky aurora
This is my first time doing infinite liquid and gas storage. My sense of tidiness is winning out over my sense that an update to the game would break my save. 🙂
Meanwhile, I was going to go to space, but then I analyzed every geyser and vent and volcano instead. Then I tamed all but two, each one with its own tidy infinite storage until I'm ready to use it. Maybe now it's time to go to space? cycle 930... and I'm still just running off the pockets of water that were lying around to begin with. These classic maps are MASSIVE.
worthy vessel
you really kept your bases super neat O:
I like how organic it looks compared to a certain grid lover bases
plucky aurora
I'm definitely playing a tidy run this time. Maybe to counteract some stress and uncertainty in my real life 😄 TIDY ALL THE THINGS
fun fact, though, nearly everything (though not absolutely everything) on my map fits into the holy grid. I put floor counting ladder segments with 4-tile gaps everywhere. So eventually when things connect, they'll match up.
worthy vessel
the willpower to resist strip mining the biomes and carefully dig everything out inspires me
summer mantle
I blame the game for having buried objects.
If there weren't buried objects I wouldn't have to dig an extra 47 forks along the way.
amber bone
Hmm. Is my base not neat? I actually have trouble just digging everything out. It feels weird.
amber bone
Meanwhile, I was going to go to space, but then I analyzed every geyser and vent...
Classic makes it so much harder to get to space, because there's so much, dare I say, too much to do on the home planetoid without needing to go to another.
plucky aurora
Classic makes it so much harder to get to space, because there's so much, dare I...
Yeah, that's what I'm finding. I thought I was ready for space, but then there was still so much to do. But! I'm currently digging out a spot for my rocket platforms!
Also, I read the comments about neat bases to apply to both of us, since we each have 1 base. 🙂
amber bone
I was only asking to see if there was an asthetic that was more appealing. I've never understood stripping out the base unless you need the room or materials. 🙂
amber bone
mmm, toasty.
amber bone
Love it... I find the Gilded Asteroid Field after I have super coolant.
amber bone
Reached that phase where I'm nitpicking design choices, which is stopping me from pushing forward.
civic sequoia
Blow up your colony with the geothermal pump, then restart on Blasted Ceres. 👀
green sluice
Lol
amber bone
Is that a thing that can happen?
civic sequoia
With great sadness I must report no. But it was an excellent troll by the devs to those of us code-poking during beta.
jaunty monolith
Not sure if "troll" or just "scrapped".
I have a sadness though: our Gold Volcano is below average. 😦
amber bone
I have a sadness though: our Gold Volcano is below average. 😦
||which one?||
jaunty monolith
||which one?||
||The one east, east-south of portal, in the plume squash biome||
amber bone
||The one east, east-south of portal, in the plume squash biome||
Ah. ||That's the one I tamed, but it seemed okay. I didn't really check, lol||
jaunty monolith
It's ~8% below average. It's perfectly serviceable 😆
summer mantle
But least there is one. :)
plucky aurora
The other one is better. 🙂
Planning to jump straight from Co2 rockets to large petroleum rockets. So.... time to build oil well infrastructure, a petroleum boiler, and some very very very long pipe runs.
maiden heron
cycle 1..
amber bone
Somehow the huge mess I made trying to open the geothermal vent also created over 15k kg of petrol, so I have built nothing, lol.
plucky aurora
Winning 😄
jaunty monolith
Just realized I'm setting up an electrolyzer system without having a source of water secured 😅
summer mantle
How many tons of ice do you have?
jaunty monolith
That's a source, sure, but it's not secured 😆
I'm going for the salt water geyser, though.
amber bone
I set up one when I had 220t of ice. After 600 cycles and even more digging, I still have 165t of ice, finally usually water from a vent. There's tons of ice to dig, and even more melting if you let it.
plucky aurora
I used my "temporary" setup to get water to electrolyzers from an ice melter for... several hundred cycles.
amber bone
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.
jaunty monolith
Jackpot!
jaunty monolith
Unknown! But I'll take naturally generated mutant seeds. I haven't dug to that area yet.
So yeah, jury's out on whether or not it's a good jackpot or a +decor jackpot.
Odds for it happening at all are pretty low since it was only in 114 rads!
jaunty monolith
or Wildish?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're Exuberant.
And the other has a lux requirement of 200, so that's bountiful, I think.
amber bone
But it's dyyyying. I found some wild, but they expired in the fridge anyway. I was sad.
little fog
If you want to store some sleet wheat or nosh bean seeds without needing a deep freezer you could always build, plant, and disable some planter boxes.

But, yeah -- I'm surprised fridges don't have a "forbid mutants" toggle
plucky aurora
I thought through a lot of things as I was planning out my petroleum boiler. One thing I didn't think through carefully enough? That I'd put it in the EXACT OPPOSITE CORNER from my rockets. Sigh. All those pipes are going to have to accomodate one more pipe run.
maiden heron
perfect
little fog
clearly the solution here is to move the rockets to the petroleum
plucky aurora
I mean... it might be easier....
It's not like my "space infrastructure" is very developed yet.
drifting igloo
Oxygen is now included :D
jaunty monolith
I skimped out and made the radiant pipes out of wolframite and not steel. Need to kick lime production into high gear
amber bone
but... gold?
maiden heron
can't make gas radiant pipes from refined metal?
little fog
not without mods
maiden heron
Right
I need to figure out ghetto refinery. I have no liquids.
I guess I could make some water
jaunty monolith
Steal some from the seals!
maiden heron
yeah I am working on some ghetto nectar / ethanol. First time encountering the bonbons
amber bone
oh, right. Mods for the metals 🙂
maiden heron
This was nice until it went dormant. Could use some more gold.
Though I guess what I really need is some iron or copper to make suits because we're ready
I haven't even built a rock crusher yet, much less a refinery
summer mantle

Gold works for suits.
jaunty monolith
...right. Wolframite isn't a refined metal. I meant tungsten. 😅
Really, Iron is the odd one out
Though at current, each of the four starts is represented.
Sandstone: Copper
Forest: Aluminum
Swamp: Cobalt
Ceres: Iron + Mercury
I'm surprised we don't have Silver, I think!
maiden heron
other gold volcano also dormant, but for 9 fewer cycles at least
jaunty monolith
I haven't found the 2nd gold volcano yet
maiden heron
ghetto refinery working just fine
soon we will have suits
ah, but the future is now
amber bone
Here I was worried about leaving five seeds behind.
amber bone
I didn't even name them. 😄
plucky aurora
I've never had such aweful pipe spaghetti. Collecting wild pooped ethanol and wild nectar is quite the construction project!
amber bone
And more show up every shower.
plucky aurora
Go little escher! You can do it!
plucky aurora
Yeah, I've got good ol' Jorge and 2 rovers raiding the planet as quickly as possible, but then I'll peace out as well.
amber bone
I didn't bother with Jorge. I'm still bad with food creation.
amber bone
Cycle 646 : On my way to explore the Tree to Feed. Waterworld has been stripped of Graphite, so ttfn!
viral surge
I like the central pressurised ladder~
plucky aurora
Wow, I've never used eschers before this run. It tidied up the whole water planet in 12 cycles.
fresh vector
They're brilliant, I believe with water they do about 140kg/s
maiden heron
got some plastic and steel and tamed the 2 gold volcanoes. I need a proper power setup. Guess I'll go play with geothermal stuff
Oh but first I need renewable reed fiber. So I think I'll ranch the bammoths somehow
plucky aurora
Cycle 646 : On my way to explore the Tree to Feed. Waterworld has been stripped...
Is that a seal ranch across the top of your water map?
amber bone
Is that a seal ranch across the top of your water map?
it was, but didn't really work out well. I couldn't keep it cold without cooling setup.
maiden heron
Cycle 202. Finally putting in an industrial complex. Base getting hot, so cooling that needs to happen also. Still feeding the spom from pitcher pumps and ice melter. Built a couple bammoth ranches modeled after Nigit's.
maiden heron
Tweaked the bammoth ranches so the evolution chamber actually works. Nigit's original design works, but I flipped it horizontally
maiden heron
OK, supplementing the manually shipped water with the HSV
I really should build a rocket so I can finish research and do whatever else the universe says to do
amber bone
I've never tamed an HSV. That looks pretty wild
summer mantle
They're toasty.
amber bone
Yeah, so I see the single vent for the hot steam. That makes sense.
I expected the turbine to never show over half of the colored line with a single input. I guess that's more of a call out to the amount of water being created, not power?
summer mantle
I believe it's power
It is also picking up some steam from the AT's room after all.
amber bone
But single vent ST vac only generate 425W?
Ooh, I see
It's all covered in there, lol
summer mantle
So the left is 3-4 inputs depending on door, right is 4.
amber bone
Yup, I see now. Thanks.
maiden heron
If the steam is hot enough, you can get full power from just one input
That HSV tamer is Saturnus' design btw: https://discord.com/channels/282741876224688128/1236369482960867469
maiden heron
If the steam is hot enough, you can get full power from just one input
(don't quote me on that... I am rethinking it but don't care enough to research now)
Busy building a cooling box.. why? I don't know
amber bone
The wiki says it'll cap at half power if there's only a single vent.
I was researching this with the geo vent heat,^^
maiden heron
ah ok. heatsink box built
plucky aurora
Is the central box distributing warmth to the water boxes? Can't see if there's a tepidizer in there. If cooling, how does the central box get cooled?
maiden heron
Central box is cooled by AT in a nearby steam box. That's all mercury, not water. Cooling loop is running nectar.
maiden heron
I wanted to be able to maintain the Ceres chill for all the native stuff
little fog
oxygen management with alveo vera sure takes some getting used to
maiden heron
Yep that was a good time
little fog
got my bathroom and great hall taken care of
little fog
Ok, trying to get into flox ranching a bit earlier this time.
amber bone
ah ok. heatsink box built
I've never seen anything like this. Looks nifty.
maiden heron
Here's the pipe overlay. I have 4 more chill loops I can use when I get around to it. One will be for the base, but that's not urgent. Probably one for the bammoth ranches, farm(s), etc.
maiden heron
Eventually, the dupes' own waste will heat their bathroom
plucky aurora
Breaking into the niobium planet. Nearly done with the water planet.
maiden heron
I have not yet built a rocket. I just started up the geothermal thing so that was fun
plucky aurora
Well, considering I'm already at cycle 1530, I'll be playing this map for ... a year? 😄
maiden heron
I think I'm just shy of 400. But I started late, and I'm going out of town next week so I probably won't get far. But enjoying all the new stuff.
plucky aurora
I'm wishing we'd had teleporters enabled just so that I could make this an all-achievement run. But oh well. It's a very good map. I'm getting a lot out of it and having a blast.
maiden heron
There's a mod for that of course. No Teleport Achievement Lockout
I used it when I cared about them.. lately I have not
civic sequoia
Since we're coming up towards the end of the month it's that time again where I start taking opinions on preferences for next month. Anyone got any strong feelings? Otherwise it's Terra Classic for y'all, forever and ever, into eternity. :P
worthy vessel
are remixes off the table as that counts as ceres-specific?
civic sequoia
Yeah, remixes alter worldgen, and we don't want to turn on settings that lock people into needing to own FP too often.
maiden heron
I think I'm going to skip September and keep this world going.
little fog
You joke but perhaps we actually should do a Terra or Terrania.
civic sequoia
I'm honestly seriously considering it. It would be nice to have a more relaxed month.
And it is a well balanced asteroid.
I'd be leaning towards Terrania, since base game would have Terra to complement.
worthy vessel
Terra world, CO2/PO2/leaky oil fissure geysers only
drifting igloo
An easy win
plucky aurora
Oof, I wasn't very interested in my sister planetoid, and now I find that the top biomes have been destroyed by meteors. Luckily, I'm still only marginally interested in that planetoid, but I guess I'll start building bunker defenses.
plucky aurora
Woah - on the other hand, there sure is a lot going on on the sister planet. Maybe I'll care after all.
amber bone
With FFXVI, Zelda, Satisfactory, and Factorio all coming out over the next two months, I'll be skipping the monthly runs for a while.
jaunty monolith
Oh, damn. I forgot Factorio xpac comes out next month
That's going to take some of my time, for sure.
Well, until they add trains into ONI, at least.
jaunty bobcat
October 21 for Factorio Space Age

amber bone
... but 2.0 comes out in October 😛
I dunno if I can play it now, seeing all the changes I don't have yet 😄
maiden heron
Man I am spending a lot of time waiting in order achieve Full Steam Ahead
Maybe I should build a rocket while I wait
maiden heron
finally
maiden heron
The new relative temp overlay is really cool for finding hot spots
That bottom left steam chamber has a whole lot of hot obsidian & igneous from the core biome
way too hot
plucky aurora
I spent many dozens of cycles feeding all the hot debris from my oil biome through a steam chamber and cooling blocks. Also, auto sweeping the entire water planet into my main planet's storage area.
jaunty bobcat
and Sept. 21 for the release of Satisfactory (finally).
September 10 actually for Satisfactory
viral surge
it would be more satisfactory if it landed on 9/9
amber bone
Maybe it will in some timezones
maiden heron
Dayjob killed my colony again
amber bone
For the steam, since I was mixing it all together, and spiking the obsidian/igneous biome, I was running around 275C and blocking ST vents.
maiden heron
Yeah I might block some vents if I load it up again
amber bone
if you run it isolated like that, you want to treat it more like an HSV.
maiden heron
I use this for HSV: https://discord.com/channels/282741876224688128/1236369482960867469
amber bone
yeah, I'll have to find a way to design it without random liquid blobs.
