Maybe that's the point, but this episode felt more like an "update episode" (hi guys look where im at) more than a playthrough where we'd experience the game with you. On another note, you might want to consider balm lilies for dreckos, they aren't as finicky with temp requirements, plus they dont require upkeep (only chlprine atmosphere).

"cool, cool, cool, cool, cool" - S5 Abed

Nice episode and good editing ! I sometime just put a cycle sensor and make the heavy machinery work during the day, when solar is available. It's cool because it's in sync with solar without any complicated setup, just set the cycle sensor to be ON during daytime. It's only if i absolutly need to not brown out the oxygen for exemple, but it might be one of those time where this trick can be useful temporary, at least until you got a large rocket battery buffer with a lot of solar panels.

I played v1 years ago, this is crazy, so much to learn

Sorry, skipping 70 cycles kinda kills the let's play. You also haven't shown the automation overlay in quite some time. if I was new to this game starting this episode I would have a hard time following along cause I would have an incomplete SPOM and Drecko farm that missing a lot of info that I'm gonna have to piece together, you don't say the settings for the Atmo sensors for the spom, stuff like that. I'll get them working but a newbie would be overwhelmed at all that was accomplished without walking through each overlay and setting on a device or food that you are feeding or the material that you are using. For example, I know igneous rock is better than sandstone for insulated tiles but it defaults to sandstone so someone trying to follow along would probably have all sandstone insulation in their base right now. Love your channel and don't take my criticism too harshly, just trying to help.
