This map is also pretty old, I wanted to make a crazy petroleum boiler after I saw they changed seeds to potentially have more than 3 oil wells, and the maximum I could find at the time was 36, that was August last year lol. Most of the builds are ideas basically taken from other people, and I definitely spent far more than 493 hours with crashes, systems failing fantastically, etc. I also never played Factorio for those asking. Thanks for showing my map!

"What do you call that much super coolant?" A good start

"Todays theme (...) Guys you should have stopped playing a long time ago bases" *Looks at the rocket chimney, "Let's flood the whole map" FJ video being recommended*

I think you missed pointing out the twist behind the molten salt reactor. Molten salt has a THC of .7, salt gas has a THC of .88. They gain energy by evaporating the salt.

I'm scared of what will happen when Klei will optimize the game way better for multithreading. People with this kind of dedication usualy have insane CPUs. Once the lag barrier is removed, i'm calling it, we'll get automation-wire-based computers and bases litteraly filled completely on all overlays... I am in fear from just knowing this.

22:12 Super poolant? :P

16:05 best sour gas boiler i've ever seen! finally, someone else letting gravity move liquid methane. never understood why everyone else uses pumps for it

15:30 with that much CO2 power I think you can actually move the asteroid from orbit , hehehehehehehhehehe

22:12 call it a "super poolant"

I've been working pretty hard on optimizing my insulation melter and you mentioned getting steel to be a difficult part, just put some diamond tiles under a rocket silo with a vaccum between and then build a few steel temp shift plates with a little insulated bowl for it to land in. Doesn't take long at all, just mop it up and have dupes carry it somewhere.

"American Dream" had far too much recycling in it to earn that name.

Thanks for showing my map, I love your videos! I run an i5 8600k, and I was getting about 10 frames on that base. Don't even ask about critter grooming.... Quick notes on the sour gas boiler. Check out Gamers Handbook's video on gas elevators, that's the inspiration I drew from on the design. It can certainly be made more compact. Some neat features is that this sour gas boiler is ON-DEMAND, meaning you can effectively control it with automation from smart batteries. I did this on an Oaisse playthrough, it starts and stops almost instantly. You can safely turn it off, and back on again without issues. The things you need to control are the natural gas generators and a liquid shutoff for the incoming crude oil/petroleum. The other cool thing is as a side-effect of the gas elevator, there's infinite gas storage, well until the liquid vents overpressure.

At my playing speed not even 10 K cycles is enough to manage what either of these two did.

That sour gas boiler on the first map! Now i havent watched the rest yet, but that has to be the MVP right? Its not confusing francis, its beautiful!!! Such an ingenious way of reusing the temperatures!!

The Sun: "I produce about 4M tons of energy per second." America's Dream Map: "Hold my beer."

i did consider my 8 lines of CO2 a lot, but now im just like, what

The liquid and gas overlays of the last base are gorgeous. Get's my Factorio main bus twitch going... I really enjoy the Base Lovin series. A great way to show off a lot of really cool ideas and also acts a proof there's no "one way" to do things in ONI.

The most surprising thing about the last map you showed was that someone played to 4500 cycles without ever solidifying their molten core! So much potential space just unused...

so i thought of this b4 but when you look at these bases on the power, pipe, and vent overlays then just look like circuit boards these are the people who should be making our cpus

Imagine the big brain builds these guys could do if this game was in 3D and you could build in every direction. Yourself included, I absolutely loved the rocket steam trap generator.

If you go into the material overlay, it should make the shinebug reactor (bright spot) visible so you can see whats behind it

At work, cant hear a thing... aah big ice biome... wait, what?!?! Oxygen... omfg.

I'm 300 hours into one of my own saves, current challenge is just how much power I can produce using only one heavy watt wire. For context, that would be 6 10kg/s sour gas boilers, 2 regolith meltors, another one running at 3/4'th capacity, that 55 kg/s of igneous rock feed to hatches and turned into coal. The biggest problem right now is cooling the amount of steam turbines down taking up too much power. Its peaking just high enough occasionally to cause overload damage. Oh and due to hatches not always being able to keep up do I have a lot of igneous rock, to the point where I'm slowly filling in the rest of the map with insulated tiles made of it.

oh my god, the second base gas overlay is so mesmerizing

I use a mini-sun for my beach chairs ... avg Lux sometimes around 220,000... Its a sun-burn chamber.

5:19 This guy saw what's coming from klei like 8 months ago. insane

39k decor can make you overlook the fact that you have come in contact with slimelung xD poor Mae

how looking at excessive maps makes you reality-blind: -literaly cooling chlorine to liquid "energy free way"

that industrial brick looks delicious.. I need to do that. God Bless America's Dream lmao that's tony advanced regolith design btw

1:58 quick note on why the generators don't overheat, there are a couple of tempshift plates, and they are exchanging heat with the supercoolant running through the aquatuner. I was actually able to keep the temps below 75°C for a while, allowing the use of not gold and not steel, but then the petroleum heated up (because the incoming crude oil heated up) and it reached steady state at 110°C. What's nice is that it provides a constant source of heat for the petroleum boiler, so you don't need turbine heat deletion or tepidizers. EDIT: I tested this on another playthrough, the generators don't need any cooling at all.

My laptop is heating up just playing the video, these builds are just crazy.

Francis, how do we send bases to you? I have a 1400 cycle base with some things that I think might be cool for you, all the fossil is still there though :P

This base is chock full of things you make not because you need them, but because you just want to prove you can.

Hi Francis why dont you do a Flatulent only challenge? Love your vids. Keep up with the good work

hi francis, there are mods that they say they improve tweaks of the game like diseases, decor and traits, thye are decor Reimagined, Traits Reworked, Diseases Restored, it would be nice to include them in next playtrought

that is CRAZY that the one guy was pumping so much carbon dioxide into space that the damn asteroid now has a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere O_o

Roland Ireland’s map is an exercise in using every mechanism, , option, and plant of the game in a map. Amazing

That much super coolant in one place is called a "Murder".

Just a btw, there's 2 TONs of viscogel in the food storage area. I accidentally left the bottle emptier on viscogel with the priority set to 1, and wondered where all my viscogel went, oops.

The end game for ONI summed up: Dump as much CO2 into space to give it an atmosphere at the edge of the universe where it's expanding creating a continually expanding atmosphere due to constant CO2 generation. Filter out the carbon and create a breathable universe, then fly your machine planet to another machine planet to create one single world of all interstellar bodies with enough gravitational force to create a black hole, and with the excess power and CO2 you just rip a hole in the space time continuum and then do it all over again.

When I first saw that carbon dioxide piping overlay I thought this was a shapez.io video

Hello Francis, I enjoy the "you have gone too far" base loving video very much, I hope you will make more video.

13:48 i seen a bigger one, bur the liqued overlay looks very cool i realy want to see ur reaction on my madness

America's Dream: Just imagine if all that CO2 was fed to molten slicksters...

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, isn't it?

old video i know, but here i am just happy i can build a petroleum boiler....

it really seems like that last base needs to steal the trick with putting the generators into space as well.

Jesus Christ this video is absolutely ridiculous! I love it! Best base lovin video ever!

"molten aluminum coolant, that's excessive" meanwhile Me, seriously considering using molten steel as a coolant to then melt insulation, but likely going to just slap down some insulation deodorizers in space to melt it instead... 15:05 I'm a bit surprised they didn't try to just....use a sink-like faucet to vent co2 into space passively instead of needing pumps for it. I see they DO have a working insulation melter!

the second base took the factorio approach

I'm now suddenly inspired and want to drown a map in super coolant. I need to look at my bases and see which would be the best to do that on.

the 90 billion shine bugs: "taste the sun!"

4 minutes, the last time I was this early I was almost premature. So you have a new series of ONI in mind, FJ? I kind of hope you'll do the 100K one, no pressure though.

Nice. I'm playing frantically in order to get my base built/in-order to be featured in one of these someday

That Francis, is a super cool ammount of supercoolant :)

I wish we could dump CO2 into space here on Earth 😆 Those bases are absolutely ludicrous. And I haven't even built a single rocket yet and I've been playing for a couple of dozen hours

I do the same thing with generators, they don't overheat because they stay the same temperature as the CO2 that they give off and any extra heat is vented off. The CO2 generated always comes out at the same temp.

I can't believe this is even the same game I play. and these maps are two years old at this point..

Crazy, pure craziness. Both my brain and my i5 16gb laptop can't handle those

That’s a type 2 civilization!

best base ever seen to see my weakness!!

The "American Dream" map, looks like a microchip or electrical schematic design. I really wish this game had better thought put into the game. Having transformers for 1000w, 2000w, and one for the lower "high power grid". Not sure why there is even a 4000w transformer at all. Pipes and pumps need a "high pressure" version, which can fit 100K packets. (If only to cut down on processing 10x of the 10K lines.) It would also be nice to have an air pump that actually fills an entire packet on both the normal and high-pressure line. But, there would be a good use to use multiple low-pressure pumps on a line too. Circuits need to be built "inside of machines", or "inside circuit-boxes", just to reduce the need for massive circuit building with oversized circuit components. Additionally, a "sensor module", which just has to have desired sensors built within it. Both inside any machine, or inside any single circuit-box. (So you can throw all sensors into a box, where air lines, liquid lines, power wires and atmosphere all intersect. Each respectable sensor interacting with the appropriate item in that single location. Ribbon wires, or just four physical outputs for wires would work.) They need to reduce, or remove, the horrible "random motions", which takes more processing than just simple basic physics calculations. 8,000,000 complex math calculations can be done in the time it takes to "generate one random number", which is what makes all the gasses and liquids "vibrate", to simulate flow and motion. (Totally ignoring the fact that they don't actually flow at all. Often getting stuck, because of horrible random number generators. While simple, real physics, would ensure that they never get stuck and actually "flow".) Bonus for making hot things rise, where they end-up cooling and loosing pressure, expanding... While cold things fall, and compress, exchanging heat faster as they fall. Which is how we actually get a "sea-level" pressure of equilibrium. Love all of the creative hacks in these setups. Honestly, they also need plants to behave correctly... Plants suck-up CO2 in sunlight and spit out O2 and H2O (humidity/low-temp steam). At night, in darkness, plants reverse and they consume O2 and spit-out tons of CO2, which is why we get tired at night. Our oxygen intake is reduced by the rising CO2, which floods the air. The more CO2 you feed a plant, the faster it grows. Also, algae creates CO2, it doesn't absorb it. Algae absorbs O2, 24/7 but more in light. Mushrooms also absorb O2 and spit-out CO2, they don't "like CO2", that is mushroom waste! The worst offender of logic in the game, is the air and liquid bridges. Those just need to be simple bridges, just a span over other pipes. Intersections need to have "flow-controls", like real connections have. (Normally by design, like gravity, or by physical "one-way" flow gates, or automated "priority gates"... Bridges in the game are treated as mini-pumps, which don't actually pump and have counterintuitive "flow" and priorities that just don't make sense some times. They made it more complex than it needs to be, demanding hacks to get things to work as intended. Like the inability to mix wires, based on "down the line loads". We should be able to use 1000w wires, leading to devices that only draw 1000w or less, from a 2000w wire, which delivers 2x 1000w wires to two branches, without the need for a transformer. Power doesn't work like that. Transformers are for increased voltages, over the SAME SIZE WIRES, to reduce the amperage draw, so they can provide more wattage on the same thin wire.)

15:05 this is art.

The 2nd base also had 81 million calories just sitting about for only 22 dupes.

My GAWD, the second base.....I have no words for it.

15:06 would fry anyones brain

Those pipings in the last base reminds me of factorio belt bases lolol

Seeing how space handles all the CO2 at 15:34, I've got to wonder... could you create and maintain an Oxygen atmosphere?

As much as i want to try to beat these overachievers, I know that I'll need to look at other people's builds to get them done. At which point am i really the one beating them?

he tries that decor trick now and the dups die instantly from radiation

"that is some glorious piping" hehe

It would be cool to see you do a mega base like these as a seiries

Those pipes are getting close to "factorio" levels.

2:55 -ESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTH-

Ethanol and chlorine.. I don't know what map type that was.. but if it had nosh sprout seeds why not make spicy tofu and well dasha salt vines for table salt.. It's not needed of course but.. why not lol

Me who never got past fay 200:(*confused hunga bunga*)

15:30 id to think of it as the astroide is the core and were makeing a gas planet 😂😂😂

Im going kinda in the oposite direction now im trying to make super compact but automated and usefull system to avoid to much late game lag to keep the base forever. The rest of the space ill have ill use as playgrounds with ice or magma and recreation stuff

and yet here i am trying to overcome food shortage LOL

Nuts

Hey John How can I submit my base for tour evaluation for base lovin series?

Hi! Just started playing oni and your vids have been a great help. I was wondering if you could do a reverse video, wherein you look at some noobier bases (like mine) and see what rookie mistakes there are and how to fix them.

11:20 And I thought a molten salt nuclear reactor was crazy

Please dont stop making these videos!

Space is having a hard time dealing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Roland you're insane. love your base!

Both bases are amazing 0____o

"When you start your project by melting steel you've probably gone too far" ~ Francis John circa 2021 "we start melting the rocket walls by melting steel using a refinery" ~ Francis John circa 2023

i was having fun in my poor base and now i have questions

My laptop started freezing just from watching the video about the last base.

I love your vids! Thank you! Question on rime. My map has no wolframite..so I can't make thermium. Any idea how to get some?

Wow so cool bases

I wish I could give these glimpses into these minds more than just one like, so I'll drop some info in the comment. Press alt then 2 4 8 on your num pad to type the degree symbol. 4000°C is mental.

I just started a new play through of ONI, and on a normal map of terra farthest I’ve gotten before something killing my food production is like 85 (on easiest difficulty), but THIS map of terra has surrounded my pod drop location in hot 100 degree areas, what temp does meal wood stop growing at? 85, degrees... I’ve learned from my previous mistakes and have surrounded my goal gens in insulator and my oxygen generator in insulator... and to solve the heating problem from the map hating me I built insulator around my base I also have some random pacu in my water, and I have 8 ranched... idk but they make coal, which probably won’t feed my 4 coal gens I also am building a power spine instead of spaghetti Also, why does ONI randomly induce BSOD

That 4525 base is nearly 21 full days....

1st map - you can say that Oxygen is now Included!

Frozen Oyxgen Included

15:00 OH MY GOD

yes!

is there a reason to melt insulation?
