How come Base Game gets Care Packages? pip_shock

real torrent
#

Because you guys get frozen biome and they don't. >:(

graceful pollen
#

Ahhh. Huh.

real torrent
#

If I'd had a SO non-moonlet forest themed start with no frozen biome on the starting planet you'd have gotten them here too. Probably. Maybe. Or maybe curse both to go without easily accessable worts. >_>

#

Besides, no-one plays the base game maps anyway. :P

proper vine
#

I should do this

peak tulip
#

I'm gonna do it @proper vine

proper vine
#

And name everyone my friends

peak tulip
#

i'm doing regular difficulty

#

and i'm not going to do all achievements

graceful pollen
proper vine
#

Fearful

peak tulip
#

begone

proper vine
#

Ima be honest idk if I'm making this one

peak tulip
#

whatcha mean

#

gonna skip?

proper vine
#

I'm gonna try it but my starting dupes are awful

#

I hope I can make it 0 deaths

peak tulip
#

got a spom, cycle 13 yay

peak tulip
#

cycle 25

#

11 dupes

peak tulip
#

also i changed my mind and decided to do achievements. so food is going to be hell until locavore is done

brittle stump
#

No care packages might actually be a challenge for me. I'm gonna try this out

peak tulip
#

am i doing this right

peak tulip
#

oh my fucking god

proper vine
#

Pressure bobm

#

||Geodes|| are fun huh

frigid hearth
#

Are geode elements always the same

sour crane
#

there is some variety

peak tulip
#

i think he's asking if it is seeded

obtuse moss
#

Doesn't seem like enough

graceful pollen
late saffron
#

Looks like a dupe murder chamber

brazen canopy
#

wait so im not allowed to run bionic dupes this month?

late saffron
#

You're always allowed to. You're just not allowed to talk about them on here, I think

frigid hearth
#

If you add cosmetics you can’t even tell them apart!

obtuse moss
#

I even got motion sensors hooked into the not gate so the only way a dupe would eat one is if it fired and then a dupe ran over and idled on 1 of 2 specific tiles while the radbolt was mid-flight

#

Oh and the floor just below the satellite has access restrictions

next quarry
#

I always put building where they fit and end up with a messy base at mid game. 😂

brave cypress
#

Aalllright, i've been kinda away for a few months but let's goooo

proper vine
#

Hey can I get a hint to where the water geysers are

#

Gotta get...spom...

brave cypress
#

my researcher is gonna be FUN

next quarry

peak tulip
#

because ||they aren't down||

peak tulip
#

phoodie show me ur base

frigid hearth
#

Draco’s probably on his 44rd dupe

peak tulip
#

31nd

brave cypress
#

Man, this feels empty

#

I guess that'll do for a start

#

i'm gonna do so much pip planting

peak tulip
#

the Big Three are complete

#

and with cycle 100 done, i can finally start doing mid-game things

#

also, I think I have decided to pause on taking every dupe. I think 100 cycles of that is enough to sort of complete the challenge

frigid hearth
#

Noooooooooooooo

late saffron
peak tulip
#

yes

late saffron
#

I don't think I've ever done that in 100 cycles

peak tulip
#

having tons of dupes is helpful for it

late saffron
#

Ah yeah that makes sense

frigid hearth
#

You could have more

#

I live vicariously through your misery

proper vine
#

Playing nothing but solo to suddenly printing every duplicant has put my ass on the line

#

Only cycle 21 and I'm out of food

#

This damn ranch better get going asap

peak tulip
#

ya know, you are allowed to play the game in a way that isn't ass bustingly difficult.

#

you have my permission

obtuse moss
#

Noooo you must take every dupe and get every achievement on the highest settings on every new savefile dupelenny

graceful pollen
#

I would have to check my steam profile to see when I last did carnivore.

#

Because I haven't done it again.

frigid hearth
#

Is that how it works

brave cypress
#

....there is no care packages ? F**K 🤬

obtuse moss
next quarry
#

how can there be so many acorn seed ? pip produce acorn seed when eating it ?

graceful pollen
#

Basically, yes.

real torrent
next quarry
#

ok, my mistake here is I did not harvest the branch, I just wait it fall naturally. so far I only have 2 room ranch pip.

obtuse moss
#

Yeah pips and trees have an actual symbiotic relationship, so wanting to raise one usually requires the other

#

(Though I did end up splitting some seeds to plant these so quickly)

peak tulip
#

CW: Full map screenshot!

My base at cycle 118. Need to set up an oxylite refinery and start going to spaaaaace

peak tulip
# late saffron I don't think I've ever done that in 100 cycles

also yeah, this time I got it ridiculously quick, probably a combination of a super early SPOM, early solar (no meteors make solar easy), and tons of dupes meaning that not only was the SPOM running overtime, but I had a ton of labor for running on hamster wheels

next quarry
#

I am attempting to get that mysterious hermit, I forgot that he need 3 different +4 food.

brave cypress
#

oh no the hermit is Gordon Ramsay

#

the freshest thing in our colony, is that pigeon

brave cypress
#

who need oxygen generators when you got style

peak tulip
#

are you doing locavore things?

brave cypress
#

i'm not really looking at achievmeents

peak tulip
#

well that is one great way to get oxygen early while locavoring. it's also a great way to get clay early too

brave cypress
#

gosh a few months and I forget where to even check achievors. ok found them

#

no, i made farm tiles

#

I guess I'll do super sustainable tho pip_baby

peak tulip
#

you are allowed to play the game however you see fit

brave cypress
#

...I know ?

peak tulip
#

sorry, just some people sometimes seem like they feel they have to play a certain way and if they don't they've "failed" but imo that's not a good way to be

#

and i'm honestly not saying this to like, call anyone out, i've been vulnerable to what i personally call a "toxic completionist" mindset in the past but it's better to just not worry about those things

obtuse moss
#

After doing them once, the "challenge" achievements just don't feel interesting on most starts since they basically just limit your options until an arbitrary number has been reached

brave cypress
#

I think you'll notice from my screenshots, but I'm not much of a "square base" person, either 😆

#

emptying the whole asteroid to make it all lines with corridors 4 tall ? nah. not for me

grand nimbus
#

Started up the map, did a little bit, and then realized I was just going through the motions. Might have to sit this one out unless I get inspired.

brave cypress
#

well, at least i won't have overheat problem, for now

#

plujs it'll help warm up the brine water (not a spoiler since the full geyser list is available on the star map from day 1 in space out mode)

real torrent
#

But now I have to play to make up for it. How could you do this to me.

brave cypress
#

how daaare

#

ooh there's a new (to me) feature to just slide the schedule when making a new one. That's super pratical

real torrent
#

Yeah, that came with the BBP schedule updates. Really nice.

peak tulip
#

yes, yes, embrace the healthy gaming habits, let it flow through you!

#

Cycle 10. It Begins.

#

god the hydrogen vent area is such a mess 😆

#

Everything is ||melting on it|| aaaaaaaaaa

lost tiger
#

hi there quick question, do i enable the frosty planet pack and bionic for this playthrough?

real torrent
#

No, we usually do the monthly maps without DLC enabled. If you use the seed string given it will set all the correct DLC/difficulty/story trait settings.

lost tiger
#

thanks

brave cypress
#

grmbl then even tho they're supposed to be off, my dupes gets immediate debuffs in the cold (just in chilly surroundings), i should check on that

real torrent
#

The temperature mechanics that came in with FP apply whether or not you have the DLC enabled. They were a general update.

brave cypress
#

noooooooo 😭

frigid hearth
#

Yaaaaaaaaas

next quarry
#

finally made some progress

obtuse moss
#

still not pink enough imo

brave cypress
#

why hydrogen ?

graceful pollen
#

Why not.

brave cypress
#

fair 🤷🏼‍♂️

obtuse moss
#

I accidentally left a vent open and decided to roll with it since my core base is sealed in at this point

#

Also PINK

brave cypress
#

Well cool, my main hard drive died and i can’t playyy crybaby

remote cave
#

Going to give it a try. Wish me luck!!

February - March 2025

frigid hearth
#

New map just dropped 😱

heady dove
#

Enjoy~

remote cave
#

LOL Im still on the old map

#

Good news though this is the farthest ive ever made it in-game 307 Cycles

#

Very proud of my liquid network that took me 75 cycles to figure out.

#

It basically cools the steam vent water down to 30 deg using ice biome, then send that for Metal Production, then to a SPOM. Heats the salt brine to 10 in the starting biome before turning it into water. Gets polluted water from the Petroleum Generator and Bathroom/Shower routing that into Trees for more wood for Ethanol. Sorts the Melted Ice and Polluted Ice melted from Metal Production, then stores all of the excess into the Reservoirs on the left.

brittle stump
#

So no new seed for March?

graceful pollen
#

No.

heady dove
#

isn't that a "yes" answer?

graceful pollen
#

Yes.

frigid hearth
