Currently streaming Oxygen Not Included on Twitch and resharing my travails here, among other random posts.

Now that the QoL patch is launched and I'm back from vacation, time to get back into the groove...

Finished reading the Silo series so that I’m ready for the next two seasons (whenever that happens). Howey’s afterword is resonating with me because this is how I want to view the world.

One fair warning if you're thinking of jumping on the test branch: it's definitely buggy. Some of it is amusing, like atmo suits on the ground blowing up in size. Others are more game breaking, like conveyor loaders randomly not working. Back up your saves, or wait until full release.

OK we're going to try something silly here: mercury power. I've melted some solid mercury and want to feed into lamps pointed at a solar array. Here's the start of the build (pending more glass manufacturing).

This became necessary because the wood burners consumed all my wood.

I also found this CO2 geyser spitting out cold CO2. Opened it up thinking it'd be another good source for the alveo veras. What I neglected to consider: alveo veras consume 2 grams per second. This makes...quite a bit more than that.

But hey, nothing a switch can't fix.

Potential fix: wood burners! I've always ignored these because they're evidently bad, but hey, I need something in lieu of coal anyway.

Besides, the flox ranch is up and running. We're getting a reliable supply of wood, I think

Problem: alveo vera plants are running out of CO2 to eat. Turns out dupes don't breathe out enough to convert into sustainable oxygen.

I now find myself on Ceres, employing new and strange strategies of survival. How long until something goes unexpectedly wrong?

The temporal tear is open! And either I got lucky, or I accidentally prepared well for the incoming apocalypse. This is nothing.

Approaching the endgame, which for me means visiting the remaining planets to do a smash and grab of artifacts. And sure, let's demolish the planet while we're at it. Free filtration medium!

Taking a break from volcanoes to focus on...geysers. Anyway, going to try geotuners for the first time, pointing these five at this salt water geyser.

So uh, I probably should not have pre-primed the tamer with a bunch of ice tempshift plates. Not enough heat from the volcanos to maintain steam, which floods one of them. Trying various strategies to deal with this mess...

Back with plenty of ceramic and iron ore! Just need a little duplicant elbow grease...

Tamer the second: three at once! Except I ran out of good materials (unless I really want to use granite [I do not]). And I also need more metal ores for conveyor rails. Local wolframite wasn't enough.

Iron volcano tamer the first. Those tempshift plates are ice and will provide enough steam for the room, making me ready to start collecting iron when the volcano goes active again in...65 cycles.

Omnibus tundra planet development post:

Radbolts for the temporal tear. Power wire is temporarily disconnected for other uses.

One thing I wonder: should I be using lead tiles for shielding? 68% blocking vs. 60% blocking for igneous rock doesn't feel worth importing a bunch of lead, but maybe my math is off?

It's running! The turbines aren't running super efficiently, but I'm fine with that. I care more about the nuclear waste output than the power. Need them radbolts.

#OxygenNotIncluded

The beginnings of my nuclear reactor design. I've seen some designs, but I'm largely winging it on this one, just working with the notion that I need about 10 steam turbines to handle the heat. We'll see how this goes...

Finally landed dupes on the tundra planet, and good lord I underestimated the radiation. The triple-layered tile setup seems to work well for all sources. But man, had to deal with a lot of vomiting to get there.

Three iron volcanoes though. It'll be worth it.

Just be ready for your dupes eardrums to be popped to all hell and back. But it's nothing a little Sunny Disposition can't fix.

You ever have a rocket interior that gets a little too toasty and you want an easy way to cool it down? Consider using solid oxygen! I have chunks of this from my liquid hydrogen setup, and all I have to do is drop chunk inside the rocket and wait a bit.

Ocean drained. There is about 7.5 million kg of water contained within that storage.
