Colony Makeover, Echo Edition | Ep 6 | ONI - Farm - Verdante 

It would be interesting to try and make this base entirely self-sufficient, with no net loss on resources by getting everything from critters and geysers.

Echo, you should give the dupes a little beach room. Make a little wave generator with some mechanical doors, add some sand flooring, some beach chairs, and some sun lamps. And definitely a hot tub

40 minute episode? Yes! I love the SPOM dedicated to suit docks idea. Going to incorporate that into my own setups.

I didn't even check the length of the video until you said "I should've split this episode into 2 episodes". Time flies when you're watching good content

as someone who barely gets to cycle 50 before getting frustrated, overwhelmed with progression, and resetting colony, it’s fascinating to watch how quickly you progress in each ep lol. one day i’ll have a nice base!

Did somebody else noticed that in the SPOM there is one background tile not decorated?^^ Waiting for the reaction in the future when Echo notices that^^

Echo you're amazing i started the same seed as you but failed 5 times due to lack of oxygen and water. But after watching the last 5 episodes i learned how to survive

All that reed fiber spent on decorating, I would have guessed that was why you had no suits... I totally didn't do that recently. Nope, not me. Excuse me, I have some drecko ranches to set up

Also, wow, a 40 min episode, that's something I haven't seen in a while!

23:14 "It looked too pastel" There is never too much pastel🎀🎀👹👹

I've been loving the quick time lapses in your videos! It goes REALLY well with how informative you are. Love your vibe, I've learned a lot from you. You're great, keep up the awesome work :)

always here for a longer episode

Awesome stuff there! Really like the suit spoms that drastically reduces the cooling / power requirement for the colony

19:27 Yes, they're the only artist, and yes, they have their work cut out for them... but look how happy they are doing it! XD *eta: So much room for activities!! You can get a Laboratory going pretty easy peasy. A Hospital, (under the kitchen) maybe near the bottom entrance just bc that seems like it'll be closest to the hot things. A fun Rec Room with a joined Massage Clinic (on the left)! \o/ Best of wishes to you and the fam. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

One thing that I use for keeping Dupes as safe as possible, is to build a sort of room for the radbolt research. I use Manual Radbolt generators for way too long, but you could use a similar system of "Generator pointed up/left, Radbolt redirector to the right, two locked Pneumatic doors, radbolt redirector pointed down-left at entry terminal." This isn't foolproof, sometimes duplicants will just stand with their head in the wrong position, but it has a very low failure rate. Usually, the big problem I have is queuing too many radbolts. If you want to preserve uranium, you can cut straight to "Redirect down right at entry terminal", but that has a slightly higher failure rate. You also have to make sure to set up an automation system to disable it while the station is unpowered, because it doesn't accept energy while unpowered. And maybe one that also locks off the generator, if you're trying to force autosweeper deliveries.

I typically put the buffer tank on the incoming side of the aquatuner. That way the buffer tank will smooth fast temperature changes preventing repeated on/off of the aquatuner. It also makes sure there are no missing packets on the line going into the aquatuner, again preventing on/off.

Always excited to see a new echo ridge upload!

Love the long episode.

Awesome! Just what I needed to see. I’ve never used an aqua tuner before and now I’m eager to try it out. Great vid.

Wow, I wish I could do that amount of (semi) concentrated work and progress in just over 100 cycles! Good job and thank you so much for putting out such amazing content

7 minute mark - I realize Echo will be doing a kitchen relocation - 230k kCal. 18 minute mark - Echo actually starts the relocation process - 121.5k kCal. 18-20 minute mark - Watching Mess Hall painting being done, while NO cooking is being done - 90k kCal. 24 minute mark I see the KCal count hit 67k and I'm certain after adding 2 more dupes that the starvation cycle has begun. A quick sudden add of 40k kCal kept that cycle at bay for a bit, but 43k kCal at 37:30 convinces me the slaughter is still coming. 40 minute mark - 100+kCal. 😭

Thanks, ERG!

Disclaimer: my wall of text is written as a food for thoughts about perfecting the base layout. The game is totally playable and beatable with less optimization than you did. So: 1. Airlocks leak air when open and leak heat at all times. To properly seal the base you need to put two waterlocks with a vacuum between them. Still, you probably want the pneumatic door in the said vacuum to keep dupes without suit training exiting the base. Since the best waterlock would be with viscogel, yep, I usually do a "temporary" oil lock for hundreds of cycles 2. When dupes go rest from outside the base, the first thing they do - they drop the suit. If it is a soiled one, you get a spill. then the spill offgasses... Yuck. Having a spill trap with a mesh tile + mini pump below the checkpoint is smart. 3. If they didn't pee in the suit, peeing would be their highest priority. So, if you put toilets next door to suits (like, you have enough space to the right from the water tank), they would spend no time running. With your current layout dupes run like 50 tiles after dropping their suits and then they need to run the whole room again to exit it. 4. After the toilet dupes go to the nearest food, then to the mess table. Issue with your layout - for the bottom toilet dupes the nearest food is always the one in the kitchen. Which means that they NEVER pick leftover food. You can actually see the pile of rot inside the mess hall between two mushroom seeds. You want to put the food dispenser after all the tables, so food on the floor will be always eaten. In your current base you might want to replace phones near the natgas geyser. 5. Another issue - bottom toilet dupes climb an empty floor below the kitchen, then the kitchen itself, and only then they get to the mess hall. Conclusion? Mess hall should be an adjacent room to toilets. Directly below is the best, since dupes can use the firepole to get there faster. 6. Dupes spend a lot of time in the toilet and eating. You can speed up both with lightning. 7. And since they do spend a lot of time there, you can "decor bomb" these rooms. Since dupes take the average over their cycle, being exposed to 1k decor will greatly outweight running in zero decor areas. So, you actually want to have a sandwich of "toilet floor" below "mess hall floor" with diamond window tiles, and below them a room full of masterwork statues. Not only they are cute, they reach 8 tiles above them, so they can decorate two floors above them. 8. On the contrary, sleeping dupes don't gain benefits from decor, so carpet tiling everything isn't beneficial. I don't remember if the carpet buff even expires when they sleep, if it doesn't, then leaving a single carpet tile on the bedroom entrance should be enough. If it does, then you need a carpet under their bed, next tile(s) should be metal ones for the fastest travel. 9. If you print pacu, they would be unable to drop into the pool. And it's far from your computer... 10. Making radbolt generators directly facing the researching dupe and ladder system... It's a murder waiting to happen. Come on, it's so simple to put the station to the right from a solid wall, and make radbolts fly at 45 degrees to the acceptor. This way dupes will have zero reason to hang out in the impact zone. 11. Gases do have a tendency to go to the right, as you can see with CO2 being stuck in your kitchen. You want to have a downward path on the right. And maybe something to deal with CO2. Pip planted oxyferns or scrubber or slicksters... 12. You don't need to cool down oxygen for suits. Insulated pipes is enough, they can safely breath in heated by magma oxygen. Makes sense thematically, though. 13. If you are going for serious ranching then you want to leave a bunch of drecko as breeders and don't bother with shearing them - it saves you a ton of time on not waiting while slow drecko would travel a hundred cells of a ranch and significantly simplifies layout(s) and gas managing. 14. Your cooling pipes layout inside the base is boring. You can hide them inside doors or, for example, write a giant word with hem. Like, two floor sized letters.

wow that was long one love it

The farmer in the roid. The farmer in the roid. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The farmer in the roid.

accidental double episode, my favourite

Good afternoon Echo! Slow but steady progress is being made, looks like you got a good setup for the future. Thanks for another awesome video!

Let them free! A Pip for every room!

I use the overflow bathroom filtered water to feed blossoms for berry sludge, works a treat. Its wasting it to use tree or thimble reeds. Germs dont matter in this game anyway. I put Grub Grubs on the blossoms and it makes them grow 50% faster as well. With running multiple pip farms makes sleet wheat a breeze as well. I also feed the drecos the balm Lilly for free food and only feed a small ranch of 2 drecos for plastic creation. I easily get millions of kals of food no issues, chaos seed i got like 28 million i think of food.. This game is really easy.

Long episode 😍

Hey Echo, it would be great to have a puft tutorial when you get to them. The current QoL fixes puft ranches, so It'll be a great way of showing all the potential for critter pickup and drop-offs! Btw, I enjoyed the longer video this time, definitely needed and worth the wait :)

Nice to see the longer episode!

Never ask a man his salary, a woman her weight and most importantly never ask echo what happened to the plug slugs :(

Yay! Glad to be your duplicate 16!

Lower hydrogen generator level of the new SPOM, bottom right hand corner, missing a wall tile.

Old McEcho had a farm. Ee I Ee I Oh! And on this farm he had industrialized processing and slaughterhouses. Ee I Ee I Oh!

Echo did you know you didnt actually need that "sub floor" at 1:00 when a tile that you have created gets replaced by another tile (like a airflow tile to a insolated tile) you dont actually break the airflow tile it just replaces it

Extra long echo episode, oh you treat us

I am 1500 cycle deap into my current colony and i still have no permanent living quarters for my dups, some of them are still rocking the cots i put down at cycle 2😅

>21:15 Typical Echo, first evicts pure dupes out of their old bedrooms (and during sleep no less!), and only after that starts building new ones

SO MUCH DRYWALL! *happy Wiazarr noises

I do pretty much the same, but don't bother cooling the oxygen, simply because once the cooling catches up, it's more than enough when looped around the base. Very cool though.

yay

yayyyyy

15:39 evil echo be like

You should have a few episodes where people with base issues submit their colony and you help "renovate" it. Just an idea

Two small power converters can be used for for a 2k wire, just takes up two more tiles of space and maybe a bit more energy drain. When are we getting 5k wires Klei?

Please, You HAVE TO explain to me why Your polluted water from showers, sinks and toilets is not contaminated with germs? Because in every single gameplay I had so far I had to decontaminate water with chlorine too. What could be the reason? BTW: You should submerge polluted water for pokeshells in any kind of water to avoid off-gassing and therefore polluting oxygen in colony.

38:15 I was literally thinking to myself earlier in the video "man, all these bridges and Echo hasn't flipped a single one. Nice!" It's my fault. I jinxed it.

I get that this would be a big change at this point, but isn't one of the things appealing to people about farming is having a lot of open space and some privacy? What if every duplicant and/or couple has their own little apartment and garden?

Still Want to See the "Minimal" cycles Speedrun to the wormhole

Pokeshells also drop eggshells btw

Hey echo just an idea, would'nt it be nice if all dupes wear spiffy overalls because they look like farmers with those

!THERE IS A WALLPAPER TILE MISSING IN THE SPOM!

Echo, you did not mention anything about the CO2 the dupes will produce by being alive, and how will you sort that out of the habitation brick.

You missed a wallpaper. Bottom right corner of hydrogen generator of SPOM

If you use a move-to command on a 5t water bottle, will dupes only move 200kg? Cause if they move the entire bottle at once, you could just move it into the tank and then empty it.

I'll be honest, I don't see much appeal to SPOMs. Especially since they're not really self powering as they don't power the water pump. But why would I lock the generator in there when I can put it in the power plant instead and get 50% more power out of it, so it actually has enough juice to power the pump too? Or am I just weird?

>19:30, 25:00 IMO, you really need to come up with some fun montage music

if you swap the thimble reed and arbor tree, your sweeper could hit both farm tiles :)

I comment to help statistics

Hi, I'm a new ONI player. Can someone explain me why most people do double doors for zone rooms instead of two tiles and one door?

@Echo, there appears to be a problem with the link to discord!

Put the showers in a separate room next to the toilets and sinks. They don't need to be in a washroom

How do you unlock more backgrounds and paintings? Thanks

you have soooo much power. why not just light up everything and try and use a bit of it t

"Dupa Leesa" uhm... I know that's an english game but 🙈🙈

when are you going to add more rec rooms ?

first 50 seconds after upload

I wish I could play this game without Dupes. there are no other detailed physics sim games like this. but I hate babysitting idiot NPCs

REC rooms rec rooms rec rooms
