I do modify this a bit, with plan to use that space behind ranches a bit more. a) I remove one tile from right, not left. It makes mechanized door step use one vertical door instead, and I got full 17x4 size empty. I tend to load it with gas/water storage tanks, and use it as either pure or polluted water ready to be piped en masse, or oxygen storage with BIG cap. Its like 8x Liquid Reservoir, so about 40 tons of storage, not bad for usually unused space. gas tanks are nice here as well, I tend to make 8 and use pixel packs to show how full they are. Mostly with oxygen or hydrogen. I tend to eyeball, not do math, so large buffers are nice. b) version here I try to make it 5 high. to make left side 2 rows of storages. Accessible mostly from left side, if made like on vid.

Awesome video as always. With cooling loops, if you fill them with a bridge while the aqua tuner is forced to run or not run you should be fine because the AT itself with give you a packet worth of gap, if the AT switches on and off while filling there's no gaps and the loop will over fill so when the AT switches off there'll be a packet of water sitting in the pipe from the output slowly heating until it bursts. I hope that makes sense. A buffer tank can help this issue too

I've seen other people have cooling rig designs they've used forever suddenly having that exact pipe burst. I haven't looked into it recently because it hasn't happened to me but the consensus seems to have been there's a bug in a recent patch that only affects two tall steam rooms. That tracks for me because I always build mine at least three high because I like the extra sense of security I get by dropping my steam engine output directly onto the thermal regulator.

Is it because of my potato PC? When playing at 3x speed, my filter gate and buffer gate go out of sync.

for some reason my upper electrolier keeps getting flooded. The amount of polluted is at around 900kg... Any ideas??? Great build by the way ;)

Hmm too complicated and didn't give much additional gain. Usually I will keep all the surplus into one room and no incubator.

you never mentioned to connect the pipe with the bridge for the hydrogen pump... that takes alot of time to fix

you can improve it by using the water input to pre-chill the oxygen in the bottom left chamber, and only then feeding them to the electroliers , beautiful design!

this video looks like it took quite a bit of effort to make, appreciate the upload 👏

I've completely mirrored your design, most of the stuff works perfectly, yet I'm having problem with sending the hatclings to the next stable. Even though the automation opens up the mechanic door and the hatchling stands on the opened door, it doesn't fall. Am I doing something wrong ? Also I've looked trough your channel to see if you have a discord but couldn't find any so I'm writing here in hopes of finding an answer. Here is the video of the said issue kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7hmjbWmqsraaGg.html

I'm really glad I ran across this video. I will be looking through all of your videos soon because I don't understand engineering or any of that stuff. And you explain it in terms that I can understand, so thank you

Alternate priming suggestion: Use a gas storage tank instead of a vent when vacuuming out the storage. That way you can fire up the electrolyzers in the SPOM for a bit of hydrogen, and oxygen. When the room's vaccumed, run the tank contents through your filters to prime the rooms. This will eliminate the need for a seperate external elecrolyzer, and also bypass any pressure issues you might have before getting the plastic to make high pressure vents.

I really like these videos and they have helped me learn a lot. However, I think they got away from being beginner friendly after you restarted. For instance, I don't really know how your kill chamber is working, how you set up the vacuum chamber between two liquid locks, exactly how your bathroom works, etc. I can piece together some of it, but it often takes slowing the video down and pausing so I can even see what some of the buildings/tiles are when you mouse over them. I at least would appreciate more explanation, as frankly, your explanations of how/why to do even these simple things are great, and I don't want to go find some worse video elsewhere to figure it out.

A simple design I came up with is getting the rancher in her/his own room that he cannot exit from where he enters, then he has to walk through the room with the incubators and in order to trigger priority, once he enters the sight of the first 2 incubators they activate with a dupe motion sensor, the door locks for 1 second (also there's a lamp), this goes for every 2 incubators and takes some time for the 1 sec door locking in order for the priorty to kick in but it's pretty simple to setup. If you want it more fancy - auto sweepers can load the eggs and so on later on when you have the metal for it. EDIT: If anyone wonders how the automation works: I'm using a filter gate (1 sec) connected directly to the motion sensor and output goes to an XOR gate. The other input of the XOR gate is the motion sensor itself as well. And finally there's a NOT gate infront of the door so it keeps the door open. The motion sensor cannot be in the corner, but the light can be.

Some additional maths for the incubators: since an egg takes 20 cycles to hatch naturally and 4 cycles if lullabied and we don't usually have 20 cycles to wait for each egg, we absolutely should incubate every egg of the bare minimum hatch requiremenet amount. In the perfect scenario an egg will be hatched every 6 cycles. This all means that we need 2/3 (4/6) incubators/hatches. In the perfect scenario for 15 hatches we would need 10 incubators. However the perfect scenario is very unlikely so adjust from there.

Hi, what is the hatchling fall sound effect at 3:02 from? It's really bothering me that I can't remember where it's from...

Hey there - I've just started watching through these and note that you talk about researching and building a Rock Crusher, but I can't find any point where you say why, or what you're actually using it for. Could you point me to where you do, or if that didn't make the video, explain it?

It was a Unique video ❤

I can't seem to get the 4 tiles figured out... I've used brine, salt water, water, and polluted water in 200kg quantities and not had any success with flooding 4 tiles. However with this exact build, I did find an easy way to do the gas vents. Dump 200kg onto the vents, mop them up. deconstruct the edge tile directly adjacent to the vent. Let it drain down the side, then replace the deconstructed tile. Good as new.

Great guide! Except the plumbing and ventilation part, i didnt understand any of that and how it works

There is NO mod that will organize the mods you have installed. I want some mods on some worlds and some on another one. But no, it's either All on or all off. Each time the game updates, you have to start over

Flatulence is only acceptable if they have the Loner trait and you can build a small room near the bottom that will filter the natural gas out of the air in their 120 quality room and they have to put on an Atmo suit to visit the rest of the world. They make free natural gas and if you store that for later, you will have a great power source. P.S. I just remembered that the Loner is planet-wide but they work fine being far away too

It looks great but the new porn hatch doesn't fall down. both doors are open so I don't know what the wrong! can some one help me please?

Do the automation components need to be made of gold to prevent overheating? What about the conductive wire? Can wire even overheat?

What did you set the most top left conveyor loader to grab?

This comment contains nine words consisting of at least three symbols.

What would you reccomend for reneable source of water? I'm finding this to be my main problem

Thanks for another great video

Please make a noob video about Chlorine.

Bro, the "Enable Proximity" and "Room Overlay" absolutely new to me after 40 hours. Easiest sub in my life lol

Thank you so much. I finally found a video that can help me.

I put it into infinite storage mode and apparently, after exceeding a certain limit, which I forgot, because I wasn't double checking on it, the entire thing will just break and flood your base with oxygen and hydrogen. 😢

I recommend making it just 1 tile taller per electrolyzer so that you can climb into the electrolyzer area. Very helpful for when something breaks. The water puddles require a wall 2 tiles high. Dupes can jump 2 tiles vertically.

Hate those design. This is not ONI but pointless sandbox design. Later you might learn that cheating kill your game. One of the game fundamental aspect is colony management and you make design that simply denied that. Sandbox seems to be the name of the game you're playing. Depriving the universe of dimension seems to be the specialty of Human, such failure.

I like pipe sensors and shutoffs but holy HELL are they fussy. I was fiddling with a bathroom/cooling loop the other day and it would just randomly let polluted water through into clean. Probably something to do with mini packets maybe. Anyway, you really have to make sure the flow is v e r y even and the in game filters are nice for reliability if you can spare the power.

I cant even dig out a base without a super drowning..this is...beyond me!

Personally I always thought it was dumb to encase the hydrogen generators. Why not open it up and include a Power Control Station? 50% extra power goes a long way, especially in the early-mid game when you are building this thing. Even later on you are probably looking at like 2-5MW depending on the size, from tune ups alone. I get that there's a small risk of using too much power, blacking out the pumps and electrolyzers, and then spiraling into death. A gas reservoir for hydrogen (because it can feed the generators even without power) and some extra battery storage (smooth out power and prevent blackouts) can mostly eliminate this chance as long as you are paying attention to the game. If you do ever get into a really bad situation, you can just disconnect the wire from the main power and let it be self-powered only until you've fixed things.

This design is probably one of the best designs I have seen in the internet, though I am confused about the wheezewort gas-siphoning effect on gas pressure for plants, has anyone ran into this issue or am I overthinking this?

Hydra can glitch sometimes, especially on save-load and on high speed at later-game stage. To at least partially protect yourself from this glitch hydrogen chamber must be on left and oxygen on top diagonally. Look at your video starting at 3:16. There are little moments where hydrogen appears and stall for a part of second. If at this moment random gas movements happens and hydrogen moves left, you get hydrogen in oxygen chamber. As you see, there are no such stalling for oxygen, it moves nearly instantly. So, left of electrolyzer must be hydrogen, in this case if hydrogen moves randomly it just join hydrogen. This glitch is rare, it needs very bad luck with timing of gas movement and gas production, but it happens and ruins this design. This problem never happens in hybrid design. In hybrid design you place a drop of liquid left of gas-spawn point, so both gases must move up-diagonally, removing any possibility for glitch

Niiiic FSPOM. Question why the buffet gate?

Usage of five-years old hydra design after invention of hybrid design looks slightly outdated. Did you read Compendium of Amazing Designs?

You could use less airflow tiles. You only really need 2 per electrolyzer (unless someone does it with less). Also, I'd recommend crude oil or petroleum instead of water for infinite storage purposes. Dont want your water to turn to steam.

For some reason almost every time I use the liquid trick to fool gas vents, after a while the liquid disappears. :(

You optimized dreckos' movement inside the farm, nice! 9 out of 10 designs forget about it, and while it is not longer that big of an issue ever since Klei introduced critter queuing, you can't really have a perfect ranch unless you over-engineer EVERYTHING! :)

Hey if you have any ideas for infinite liquid oxygen and hydrogen storage, i would love to hear them, I’ve had to use a door compressor system for my infinite hydrogen rocket since Escher waterfalls give me trouble with freezing the two gasses.

I definitely enjoy hydras don’t get me wrong, but as of late I have been leaning more towards brute force mechanical filtering, which is equally as cheeky in terms of breaking the game, just more easily scaled

Very good, I like it! I've using the horizontal version of the Hydra (O2 on top and H2 on bottom) for a while now (9 tiles tall or equivalent to 2-4-tile floors) H2 feeds to a separate room that's a power plant and that powers up the entire base (for the corresponding Achievement). The water to be split is piped across the O2 chamber to try to cool it down a bit using a bunch of radiant pipes, it works very nice as the O2 is a dash higher than 30 °C, which can be later cooled down by other means. There is a ante-chamber on the side that contains a couple of mechanical filters, a water tank and a H2 tank as backups, with a liquid drop and a door, so the whole thing is serviceable and expandable (horizontally). I remembered reaching 1000 kg of pressure in the O2/H2 chambers in my later games.

This is lovely and makes very smart moves to make it automated. Perhaps I wonder how can stuff like the critter condo and the critter fountain be included. I heard they can make the critters happy enough for not having to be groomed.

I just recently started the game and this is a very helpful guide. Thanks!
