A ton of fun and a bunch of facepalm moments as you realize you got your toilet overflow setup wrong and your dupes all pee everywhere because the bathrooms are offline, or that "oh god no" moment when you realize 98% of the map is CO2 because one piece of your oxygen production turned off because you left your desalinator sitting on dirt and weren't paying attention when you ran a pipe past it (buildings don't work when not supported and you can't run wires/pipes through "natural" tiles so it dug it up on me.)

danmerillat ah yes, the fun of ONI. Gives you laughs and pain

I got it two weeks ago and I haven't slept. Send help.

You'll have an honorary engineering degree if you win

I read your comment. I felt the same hahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!

With rocketry it's just 2D Kerbal Space Program.

@Dale Reay SHUT THE EVERLOVING HECK UP NOBODY CARES RIGHT NOW AND THEY NEVER WILL NOBODY WANTS YOUR VIRUS

@Jeremiah Colby oh my _god_ you are an idiot

@@TinyDeskEngineer they're bots/multi-accounts

@@Elelicksa well that explains why I see so many comments saying they're trying it out

If the insulation melter has taught me anything it's that with a metal refinery you can achieve just about any temp you want. You might want to make sure you have lots of iron and poke shells to provide the necessary steel heat.

What a great idea!

One other players sent one in but it would not spin up correctly unfortunately, as far as I'm aware yours is the only functional survival one in existence. (That I'm aware of). Hell of a build.

​@@FrancisJohnYT​ Brothgar built one in survival one year ago

@@wolfy1398 Had no idea? You got the link? Would love to take a look.

@@FrancisJohnYT kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLacmtRhuJfadKc.html he also did a molten salt reactor kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nsh4ZtiA2amdaKs.html this is the most iteresting video

@@wolfy1398 Ah I remember that build it's a batch processor, you do chunks at a time. Koen's does 20kg/s, requires no player interaction and came out 3 months earlier :) Don't get me wrong Brothgars build is fun but Koen's is a practical build I have ever yintention of ripping of.

🤣🤣🤣

I think it was about accurate.

It was on my list of things to do and... yes it kind of was.

I always make a sour gas boiler in survival mode, and I only play on hardest settings on worst planets. My last sour gas boiler didn’t use any space stuff. I cooled ethanol to -90 and then had a hydrogen loop to get to -160, and I snaked the sour gas pipe through the methane channel just like the crude oil pipe snaking through the petroleum back flow.

Why did you share it! EVIL!

Made me jump

Just one ear!

I'm still trying to find the style of the channel, maybe a different style for each game. ONI is green text, Rimworld is orange. Different music as well. Give it a week or two and I should hopefully find the right balance.

I like Rocket chimney but I though Regolith melter has a better rhythm.

Cryobrick, or 'ice cube' as we used to call him in the early days of his career

Brothgar is a good egg, glad to see him getting back on the horse since the hack.

Can't wait to see all the bases submitted during this self isolation time. People are bored more than ever. We're gonna see some insane stuff thanks to this. There are already people recreating the entire world 1:1 in Minecraft. ONI won't be an exception.

Give someone a steam turbine, aquatuner and enough power and you can freeze any map to it's core.

@@FrancisJohnYT Given enough time of course. Anyways, as another goal, I've been thinking about wanting to try to give my dupes a wide variety of food options besides the usual Barbecued Hatches, such as Sweet Wheat and Bristle Berries to make Berry Sludge for example. Of course, I'd need dirt (and (polluted) water, though I doubt that it'd be a problem to get that sustainably) in order to be able to sustain crop farming, but boiling polluted water (either from dupes using the bathroom, or by carbon skimming to name a couple) to get a little bit of dirt (in addition to the steam), using a composter to turn polluted dirt (possibly sourced from Pacus) into regular dirt, or heating up slime collected from Pufts into dirt (or distilling the slime into polluted water and algae, then heating both up) should have me covered, right?

@@ShadowWolfTJC All of the sources you listed produce small amounts of dirt. The best way to produce dirt in bulk is ethanol production. The other option is wild planting with pips, I supported an army of dupes on wild sleet wheat.

i think someone made a 3 conveyor line (all you can get out of a width of the map) regolith boiler

I still make that mistake all the time.

That poor actor had no idea what he was saying half the time, still been is some cracking good films.

O'Brien was the Transporter Chief abord the Enterprise so likely fixed very little. It was the Deep Space 9 Spacestation he was Chief Engineer of

@@cookeymonster83 forgive my mix up

That is pretty good.

Glad to help out, their is a lot of fun to be had with this game and if you can help someone get to all those fun bits it's feels good.

It's probably someone really powerful, almost godlike (like creators of the game) got bored of supercompressors with millions of tons of frozen chunks of natural gas in storage just tried to implement laws of physics and thermodynamics and chemistry and accidentally got almost full integer number of tons in natural gas and in some point it met a single fire... bam. half a planet blown off

Nickola Kulikov lmao I genuinely can’t tell if saying whoosh was a joke or if I am being double wooshed ):

@Nickola Kulikov no its not nobody likes people who r/whoosh people

@Nickola Kulikov Good

Some of them are not viable, you can cook ceramic but it forms a tile you have to mine and you lose half the mass. You don't need much refined carbon, a simple way to get a lot is to accidentally leave some coal under a hydrogen or petroleum rocket when it's taking off. The most fun is the regolith melter in my opinion, it has a very bulky feel to it.

This game is a bit addictive alright, but in a good way. You get lost in building and designing things. Zero regrets.

I have never build 2 or 3. Even with thousands of hours in game there is always something let to do.

Give them a little time, the automation people are patient. Have you ever seen the Factorio video player in game that someone made? Look up Factorio Sandstorm

@@FrancisJohnYT Oh yeah I gave reverse engineering the old grey goo setup a wirl almost 2 years ago, took awhile to get the combinators to work when the devs kept updating nuclear power and breaking old saves. (it uses recursive blueprints to work and yep out of date every week back then for bug fixing) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqxdYJSJycmzlYE.html heres the original that I reverse engineered from. Took around 400 hours to get it work properly last I checked that save.

No promised just yet, but I would really love to give one a shot and I think we have the right map to make it work.

No it wouldn't. If you'd use conductive tiles, the temperature would avarage out too much. Resulting in crude oil exiting at the top too cold, and petroleum exiting at the bottom too hot. I don't know how to explain it better in text here. Though I can say that at some point I thought the same, tried it, and learned it's better to insulate the rows :-D

Imagine all the tiles were made of a perfectly conductive material. You would end up with 4 "stair legs" each with their own temp. Say 50C 150C 250C 350C. So crude enters at 50C and exits at 350c. But because the tiles are insulated you end up with each tile of the stair being it's only temp gradient. Meaning you end up with about 50 mini stairs starting at 50C and going up to about 400C.

I had to make some tough choices, this was meant to be a 15 min video. There are to many fun builds to choose from.

Just make another video with things you really like! It can do nice mini series of them nice things.

Unfortunately no one sent me in a salt gas boiler. I also had a second regolith melter but it had issues spinning up so I omitted it.

@@FrancisJohnYT I bet someone is going to send you one sooner or later :) Or you are going to take up that insane challenge yourself and make one of your fantastic guide videos out of it, which i have come to see and love :) I have once tried to build one myself but never really managed to work out all the problems to get it running well

For now, who knows what someone will send me in next :)

250 steam turbines can't keep up with that thing, this modded device better be able to eat a lot of heat.

That would be really cool.

Hummm that is pretty much a tutorial. Most of the things you need for survival are essential.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable build to me, no need to explain to why something is necessary. I realized I stopped needing a reason somewhere around dropping an ocean on a magma biome just to see what would happen.

@@FrancisJohnYT lol those where my early experiments. Or, what happens if the vaccuum of space meets the lava core.

Dupes can enter rockets with Jet suits, however they cannot exit for some unknown reason. I avoided jet suits originally to not introduce CO2 into the chimney, but that turned out to be pointless with all the meteors that get in. If I had it all to do again I totally would have used them.

Francis John it started off a good idea then frame rate went from 40 to 5, so i tore that apart, it doesnt matter that dupes cant leave u just take apart the capsule when your done with the rocket and they fall out

Francis John also do you just open and close all your doors above the chimney for each rocket going in and out? I found that the new ribbon automation cable really helps me automate it so i only open the doors for each lane of rockets entering or leaving

@@ShirakuUkashi I have three separate door sections. Left, middle and right for the three rocket lanes.

I'v already committed to thermal power so why do I feel like this is about to become this entire map.

@@FrancisJohnYT whatever you do, I'm sure to enjoy watching you mess around anyway :-) Looking forward to the next episode!

@@FrancisJohnYT I commented on my Badlands Clone game tour that you would do the geothermal better than me!

Don't worry. It will creep up on you slowly. First it will be how do I make steel easily, then next thing you know you have drained the entire magma core of heat to power your stupendously oversized industry. After that things will start getting serious :)

With self cooling Steam turbines of course

In engineering, "simple" is the biggest boon you can have. A simple tube, full of tubes full of fuel. Easy to setup and maintain.

You don't really need that much energy unless you want to run a massive base and make sure they all have access to every recreational building possible.

I still have to go back and look at my old tutorials to remind myself how to build stuff. I have lost count of the amount of times I have went looking for the atmo sensor setting to the SPOM's.

My 80 dupes base slowed my computer to a crawl but it might be possible now with the updates.

Cut out the middle man and build a carbon sink the depth of the map, then carbon skim to make polluted water to sieve. Pretty sure you could get to 10KG/s of CO2 without to much difficulty. Bonus the sink can double as a rocket chimney.

@@FrancisJohnYT Yep that's cutting out the work and middle man alright

Run out of dirt? Options are sieve polluted water and compost the resulting polluted dirt. Cook slime/algae into dirt by heating it up. All the other options are very late game.

It does keep the meteors out, which drag CO2 in with them. In short it makes life in the chimney a bit easier so I keep replacing the doors.

I'm not sure any of them outside of the boilers were ever really relevant. The boilers provide more power than you could ever need. The regolith melter does the same thing but it's just harder to setup. I mean it is a list of Ridiculous builds, for practical stuff you are looking at builds of a more reasonable size like SPOM's or Liquid O2 and H2 setups.

Wow, that actually makes so much sense that never registered with me. My entire life (over 20 years at this point) I always wondered why water did that kind of thing and why it was never leveled out, and you just answered that for me wowza. Thank you kindly!

Thanks, now I just got to make a habit of it.

It’s completely unreasonable, that’s why we make these!

@@epiccollision Even an small chimney? :'(

you can recuperate tons of power with a setup only positioned in Space biome and all water with 3x taller setup, try your best!

In all fairness it was in the early days of insulation melting, the amount of effort to get something like that working is insane.

Don't base it on the silly over the top builds, their is a lot to love about this game and surviving the first few hundred cycles is where the fun starts. I mean you can look at the crazy stuff they build in minecraft and know you are not going to be building anything that crazy but still enjoy the game.

This game is a bit like mine craft, at first you struggle to survive. After you get over that bit it's really just a case of how far do you want to go with your projects.

​@@FrancisJohnYT your video help me a lot , I'm getting better with my food oxygen and power production, now I'm trying to get how to go to planets that are to far to do a round trip...
