That description is pretty fitting :D i am still recovering from the last try. Glad to see another ONI series from you, and thanks for the comment :)

OH LORD NO You fried your pc once with the take every dupe run Maybe you should try 100/50 dupe start

Omg FJ watching Luma videos

Would love to see you try it, Francis!

@@leeplynter6787 me too

Thanks for the feedback. I try to add them for the larger videos. Sadly it is very time intensive to add those cause of all the timestamps otherwise i would have done it for every video. Glad it helped you with this one :)

Hehe, the 100 worker help alot with speedy building.

Thank you for the nice comment. Very appreciated :)

I agree! The editing was tremendous!

Good train of thought. the seeds were very sparse and this could help over time!

Hehe, yeah the more you play the less you keep an eye on germs. They are not really an issue (except in hard mode). I understand the feeling though. When you start you want to be perfect with most thing. Then later on you just duct tape everything together :D

Cool i did not know that!

@@Luma_plays I figured it would be nice to share, in case anyone else is also starting this challenge.

I wouldn't believe it 'cause it's too similar to Alt + F4!

@@ivanjermakov A bit ashamed to say I might've made this mistake once or twice 😓 It becomes even worse when you consider that Ctrl + F4 spawns a dupe, but Alt + F2 spawns an Atmosuit Dupe!

Also, Alt + F4 removes dupes, actually all of them :)

Hey Marie, thank you for the nice and helpful comment. If i could i would give you 2 hearts. The mess halls are a good point and as you said probably more important than the barracks. I haven't even thought of a farmer! As for the seeds, i started farming every availible seed as soon as i realized i had them and it still wasn't enough. Maybe i should have expanded more in search of burried seeds. Ranching is probably another optimization point.

I still dont know what im doing

Oh that is cool, who else tried the challenge? I do think it is doable but very stressful; and I have seen a reddit post plus 1min video of one person archieving 100 cycles. but that was the only one so far i have found.

I have tried and it is definetely doable. But I have never reached cycle 100 - because by the time I should start my second Rodriguez I want to start a new base and experience the stress and micromanaging of the new beginning :) So I just start again.

That is a good point. We could save alot of power here. I think the oxygen would still be hot since the electolyzer has a minimum output temperature of I guess 70°C if I remember correctly. The second point is the ruptured ear drums giving 20% stress per cycle that we have to counter. Imagine 100 binge eaters, destructive dupes, vomiters etc.

@@Luma_plays , yah the air would still be super hot. You could have just built the SPOM in an ice biome with insulated tiles around it. It would have given you probably 20cyles of cool air. Or better yet, find a ANTN and use the hydrogen and gas pipe cooling loop. That way, your base would not have overheated so fast. ..or at all possibly. And yah, you probably didn't need that many pumps hah. I have 12 dupes in my base and am pumping out 2000g of O2 with 4 pumps from from my 6 electrolizer SPOM and the pipes are always full..even with the the vents just getting over pressure. --But I set the vents to shut at 1500' cause less power usage. --and yes, I know 6 electrolizers are overkill for the amount of dupes I have.. I didn't know that when I made the setup. Happily, I could easily shut some down.

They are almost 2 blocks high and 1 block is supposed to be 1 cubic meter. But they also only weigh 30kg so... yours sounds more plausible. :D

Thanks alot :)

Hey, hey, I thought about that before but decided against it, because it would have made the whole challenge (a small bit) easier. And i am sure a few people would have scolded me in the comments.

I had the same feeling when playing :D. Cycle 3 was further than I normally get by cycle 30.

Glad you liked it and that the chsnnel still gets discovered.

I actually tried doing that. But the raw content was really boring. For example naming the dupes and doing the schedule took an hour. But I really want to try what you suggest. Maybe on another challenge or let's play. The lesd edited videos would probably go to the second channel and the edited shortened version on the main. Something like: >3-more Videos of let's play = 1 Episode of edited Lets play What do you think?

Thanks for the good tips and suggestions. I am just going to adress a few, not in order to defend my bad gameplay just to maybe get more tips :D 1. any specific areas you had in mind? 2. i used all the seeds availible (should have dug more); ranching: yes definitely 3., 4., yes 5. yes (for cooling we need plastic or a cold biome) 6. Not sure about the necessity of a carbon storage but the simply food storage is a good idea. (it will still spoil though if not refridgerated (but it is not as if the food survives that long :D) 7. That might be simplyfied. you would need a large amount of pumps and no spillage anywhere. But if your base is clean it should be possible. Thanks again for the message

@@Luma_plays Airlocks are useful for keeping bad gasses or polluted oxygen/germ from passing between areas. Also you don't need a cold biome, or plastic. Unless radiator pipes need plastic, you should be able to use a liquid temp changer to make water cold and then pipe it through the radiator pipes. Food won't be germed up if it's stored in a pocket of carbon dioxide, limiting the spread of bad germs

@@Luma_plays Aquatuner, that's the name of the liquid temp changing device.

Hey OrangeSheep that should also work fine in most cases. The problem with this is, that other dupes can grab their food away. Even if they do not have a downtime slot. If they decide they are too hungry they can grab it; agains my own priorisation. It does work in normal circumstances but i had to use the - forbid food for everyone else version - more often.

Will probably do that one day :)

You are right. i am not sure why i stopped. maybe fear of more heat and chlorine.

@@Luma_plays yeah, maybe build a wall around the future base first... Maybe even upgrade to insulated, but after that...

I thought that as well afterward. then I remembered that skill points are a big issue. so ranchers are a rarity sadly. maybe I focus on that if I ever try it again :)

@@Luma_plays Getting more skill points is easier with manual generators I believe, since the athletics they build will provide exp each time they get a point. I'm not sure if science effects exp gain as well but that could be a good method. Have designated dupes to always run the manual generators with high science. After turn them into ranchers?

Good point! Rime could be excellent for that. Or it could prevent the farming from starting if we are unlucky. still worth a try.

Tam seni ariyordum buldum. :P

Same :D. Even thinking about it stresses me.

Hey dude, thanks for the comment. As far as i recall: Trees do grow at an exceptable rate when domesticated. They could be an interesting option if you start on a planet that has some. I am not sure regarding the dirt and polluted water though since you need a peteoleum generstor and pips for that. a peteoleum generstor couod be hard to research (can't remember how much resesrch is needed to unlock it) and ranching was hard in general cause we were missing the skill points. But i will keep it in mind in case there is an option that it can save the colony.

@@Luma_plays I looked at the research and the petroleum generator is unlocked along with the natural gas gen and oil refinery. I also forgot that you aren’t on the planet with trees so maybe that isn’t an option. Ahh well, I hope to see another attempt soon, it’s very interesting to see how you build.

Thanks!

Well i did loose though 😅

Thank you alot! :)

Thanks man, i try to remember that one :D. i still do have lots of pronunciation mistakes that i don't even know where wrong. Thanks for pointimg it out. (not sarcasm; it really helps). That way i learn how to (hopefully) pronounce them correct 😅 And thank you for the nice comment :)

@@Luma_plays Honestly, the rest of your speech was quite flawless, just a bit of an accent and that's what makes a KZfaqr unique! Great show mate.

Wit my current skill probably not. I actually have never made Frostburgers. There was no need yet. But if i train it i guess it is possible. exclusively could also mean i push the base with many dupes but instead of feeding all i let all but 1 die? which would make it easier to feed them exclusively 😁

I thought about that, but the fact i would have had to click through all the dupes while having the vital-screen (and other screens)-LAG deterred me. But for the next attempt i will try to do that. Thanks for the reminder. And if you have a tip to identify those Dupes faster i gladly take it.

@@Luma_plays yea- im pretty new but those bonus stat boosters are good and you should sort them out by that every now and then lol

I will come up with a few more challenges and maybe give this one a go again in the future.

Those are some legit points you make here let me think about it and address them: Food poisoning is irrelevant in most games since it is no lethal thing and only makes your dupes slower. Since I am producing mush bars that have food poisoning anyways I did not care to watch out for any other sources to safe time. Same reason why I did not close the water tank from polluted water. the contaminated water is a smaller issue than the time used for the dupes to jump over the 1 tile at the end of each floor. The time wasted could be equivalent to just having the food poisoning. As for the heat I did of course know that the spom would cook the base. But u wasn't able to research cooling with my dupes. should have focused on the radiation research as well maybe. Your ice biome idea is also pretty nice (if the water and p water doesn't freeze accidentally). Ice biome could have also worked by routing the pipes through it. So I will try that if I ever do the challenge again. ATNT also good idea. The vacuum thing doesn't really matter as long as the opening isn't big. the game doesn't suck the oxygen out but moves or presses it slowly from the high to the low areas. And the smaller the passage the slower this goes. Even when you open up a planet completely you need a long time for all the gases to disappear. I probably could leave this open for hundreds of cycles and still would have oxygen left. I was prepared to loose oxygen instead of blocking the dupes with too many doors. It could also be that I expanded the passage and added a manual airlock at one point. but I am not sure would need to have a look again. Thank you for the good points. Everything helps to maybe survive a bit longer next time. The Ice biome and ATNT sound especially promising. :)

Probably. As soon as you can. And dig more than i did to collect more seeds

Yes that is the amount needed. I guess if you get further than cycle 50 with so many dupes the sand might become sparse as well. so no more filtration. But there is alot of ice in the planet.

Thank you!
