Ep17 Easier ways to fuel a rocket : Oxygen not included 

“hope you enjoyed, and…good luck” makes me smile every time.

35:30 Here goes a bottle of a liquid super hot steel XD (I was like NOOOOOO! when I saw it)

The industrial sauna is one of the funniest setups in ONI to me. In the real world machinery running in superheated steam would rust to hell in no time, not to mention the intense difficulty involved in operating said machines while wearing a heavy hazardous environment suit. Plus don't forget the effects it would have on the end products, and the power leakage from the batteries. ONI is like dwarf fortress in that the more the game attempts to simulate reality the stranger the exploits, glitches, and utterly unrealistic player made contraptions get.

could use your solar farm to dispose of the carbon dioxide in a slightly closer route

Damn Franics

Great video as always. I'm surprised you haven't demolished the entire map yet! I have started venting CO2 anywhere outside steam rooms and living areas. Eventually the entire map becomes full of CO2, every other gas rises to the top and escapes to space. It takes a while but eventually the entire map is a single gas and you need way less insulated gas pipes, it a bit better for performance. Its also like playing the game in dark mode.

Just finished watching the previous episode, and now this episode is appears. Perfection! :D

After a few (many) runs and setting up plastic production, I now prefer ranching glossy dreckos late game instead of using polymer presses. It does require a few mealwood plants for 8 glossy dreckos in the ranch. But then I put all the extra dreckos in another room to be sheered as well. So, I end up with over 100t of plastic before I even have a oil/petroleum boiler or start messing with space. I suppose the dirt isn't a sustainable resource for thousands of cycles. But I have yet to run out.

Looking forward to the episodes of the ominous "that looks dumb" game. Have a great vacation.

Great episode! 31:24 so, it is salt water. The conversion to normal water is not 1:1! The conversion is more like ~2.16 liters of saltwater = 2 liters of water. You are still safe with the 2.8, but if you want to go for 3 reservoirs, you have to use a little more 😊

Francis always fires up his contraptions while they are still being built. It is very entertaining because I get so concerned. 😅

Mercury must be in retrograde. We get an extra ONI Episode!!!! Woot!

For your trip to Edinburgh, I enjoyed the whisk(e)y at the "Whiski Rooms" on N Bank St when I visited the city a couple of years ago. For beer the Brewdog brewery is a good choice. Since you are into digging and underground places, I recommend Mary King's Close, The Banshee Labyrinth, and the national mining museum of Scotland (SE of the city). I got lucky and had a guided tour by a retired miner who used worked at the place from age of 16.

I like keeping my plastic press(es) inside the industrial sauna, I just have an autosweeper set to immediately grab the freshly-made plastic and put it on a conveyer rail to leave the sauna immediately and get dropped off somewhere cooler. The new plastic won't overheat in the few seconds it takes to get out where the air is cooler. The only thing to watch for is the press directly outputs steam, so the steam pressure in the sauna very gradually increases. That's a very long-term issue though.

35:31 that liquid steel grenade!!! 😅

Hi Francis! Love the videos, you're my go-to for everything Oxygen Not Included. Had an idea for a video suggestion so thought I'd pop it here... On your next colony, every open space, unless it is another room or tank etc, has to be a nature reserve. Hope you enjoy creating an ecological paradise! :D

Enjoy your vacation Francis! Hope your quest for good whiskey is successful!

Hey Francis, In the oil well you can replace the liquid lock step with a mesh tile, that would be your liquid lock that never breaks since the oil from the well would always occupy the space. Cheers

I really liked the overview of the whole petroleum journey! Have a great vacation!

If you’re going for a no stress play through and going threw the effort of melting the rockets for more space and self sustaining rockets why not go for a liquid duplicator, just for the rockets to produce water infinitely for crops and oxygen to have a truly fully sustainable rocket that can go anywhere!

Woah. When I saw that automation wire ribbon I had a flashback to oldschool modded minecraft. It's been a hot minute....

If you want to go above 20 kg of steam pressure in your sauna a trick that I came up with for a slush boiler that I designed a while back was to use meter valves instead of an atmo sensor. Trying to use an atmo sensor was just really erratic due to the pressure fluctuactions and not terribly pleasing from a design standpoint to me, not to mention I wanted more than 20kg of pressure to act as a larger thermal battery. The additional pressure would help with your CO2 issue I think. Basically you just calculate how much excess water you're going to be producing (3kg/s of p water for four generators, 3kg*0.99 to account for dirt, =2970g/s on the valve. You can pull this off of the turbine exhaust with the meter valve and return the excess back to the sauna like normal. You can even automate the turbines to run alongside the generators if you want so that they're only pulling out water while the generators are running, just tie them into the same automation wires as the generators. For my slush boiler power was secondary to boiling efficiency so I also blocked off a few of the turbine ports, you could get away with blocking a port on each turbine and still pull out the full amount of water and save having to reboil some of the excess exhaust To me this is the best solution because you have a constant flow of water rather than random packets, a constant trickle of power to keep your batteries topped off, and you can run the steam room at whatever pressure you want rather than being limited to the atmo sensor's 20kg Also, on the geothermal plant overheating, I think the bigger issue was the steam pulling heat from the abyssalite which was pulling heat from the lava rather than your transformers/batteries. A single layer of abysallite transfers heat just fine. It's slow, but it's far from nothing. It has to be double layered for it to have an insulating effect

"Looking forward to drinking all your Whiskey, Scottish people." That sounds like a challenge there, Francis. ;)

Without this channel F-J this game would fly over my head. Thanks for all you do. Happy Holidays.

About Edinburgh: I've drinked a lovely pint of Guiness in "The Black Rose Tavern". But only if you are more rocky vibes. :) Brewhemia- Thats a good restaurant- good food, lovely staff. I would invite you for a trip around Edinburgh, but I'm going for my holidays from this moday. Sorry, mate! :D

That duplicant dropping a bottle of liquid steel is amazing!! lol 35:31

Forgotten auto sweeper between the Rock crushers.

"that water goes to the oil well, as well" Francis 2023.

Enjoy your Holidays Francis and look forward to hearing some great stories as well :)

It's unfortunate there will be no oxgen not included, however have a great time. You rock

Another good way to consume petroleum is with the new Blastshot Maker (and by extension, the Meteor Blaster building). Note that blowing up meteors instead of letting them hit your bunker doors means that you lose 100% of whatever the meteor was made of, but might be a good way to keep your rocket area clear of debris (AND blow stuff up, Win/win). One Meteor Blaster keeps an area of 33x33 tiles above itself clear (provided it has clear sky/space light above), and the blastshot itself costs 5kg refined metal + 10kg petroleum

Nice :D I love finishing my week with another Francis John's video :D YEEEEEPEEEEE

After 23 years of using liquid locks that always have a chance of failing, I have decided to always use the airlock mod. Hands down my favorite mod since Klei "procured" the pliers mod :)

have a great vacation! thanks for the great videos as always.

Enjoy your vacation, I'm sad no ONI for a week or so but still happy for you to explore!

Seeing that duplicant drop liquid steel while you were filling the container made me jump in my chair.

Literally the first time I've ever seen the automation ribbon, i was so confused what was queued up at first 😂

The way to make glass forges completely break proof is to put them in a vacuum on airflow tiles. There’s an interaction tile where outgoing molten glass will thermal exchange. Place one of the new vacuum heat exchangers on any tile but that one to cool it with your loop.

Oh neat. I initially thought this was yesterday's episode, then I realized it was a different number. sweet.

The definition of "casual playthrough" - Do I need to do it... No. Do I want to... Yes!

Another sustainable cycle that could be added to yours is, instead of throwing all the CO2 away, combine some of it with the excess water from the steam engines to make more polluted water that can be fed directly into pincha pepper plants in a Drecko ranch (who will drop the phosphorus needed for the plants). The rest of the CO2 and water can then be used with the pincha peppers to make espresso (or whatever)... You get the idea...

Francis John is ONI royalty

This episode makes me miss the industrial freezer block

Just finished yesterdays episode, ahh a good day.

Comment is too late, but Edinburgh is a great night out and a decent pint in many a place. Hope you enjoyed it my friend. The Guinness can’t ever be as good as Ireland though, that’s an impossible goal.

Thank for the video, i wasnt expecting it. On point to my lunch, what a timing

And another giant liquit tank begins^^

Maybe using carbon skimmers at the bottom of the steam room would be more efficient and easier. You could use the excess output from the steam turbines and dump the polluted water output down there to basically recirculate the water once more, you'd also get some dirt out of it, instead of just venting the CO².

Not going to lie, back at episode 1 when i've heard that you're going to have a casual playthrough, i didn't expect neither industrial sauna, nor petroleum boiler. And definitely not underground solar farm. I guess some things are just getting engrained in the brain after some time, and you can never go back to refining crude oil manually, etc.

Can’t bloody believe you’ll be in Edinburgh the week I’m away! I live a short train trip and would’ve loved to buy you a pint! Only proper Guinness I’ve seen poured was by my Irish friend in a bar called the Royal Oak, near the Royal Mile. That was 12/14 years back so can’t tell you if they still do it good. Been out of the city for too long but Hanging Bat was a good one for beer selections (other comment’s recommended it as well).

Flaking is definitely intended. And the best-stupid source of Tungsten (~melting Abyssalite) :D Enjoy Edinburgh. I loved visiting it a few years back.

How about a whiskey review of all the bottles you buy on your trip? Or maybe a drinking challenge - one drink of whiskey every time a dupe drops something down the ladder when they take a nap. Would require an alerting system, but I'm sure it would be a fun addition for a casual playthrough.

Visited Scotland before Covid... Spayside is the whiskey part... A family trip around Glenfiddich distillery was nice, Chivas Regal destilary was close also... A cooper shop... Reminds me of the good old times :)

Enjoy your time in Edinburgh. I'd offer to meet up with you as a fellow Irish man but I'm not knowledgable about whisky and my bases though over 1k cycles more than yours are way less developed. Its an amazing city and there is loads to see. I'd say its expensive but your used I presume to Irish prices. Thanks for the entertainment.

How am I supposed to survive a week without you Francis?? Enjoy your holiday!

"I'm doing a whole bunch of experimenting on the side." Yup, still just keeping it casual.

Love your videos! My favorite pub in Edinburgh is Brass Monkey on Drummond Street, It's got a great vibe

great video, can't wait to see the madness of your rocket exploration

Have an awesome vacation FJ! Make sure not to drink so much you don't remember it! LOL

You can do some crazy things inside melted rockets. Like: a ranch, water tank, infinite food storage,cooling loop, oxygen generation, solar power, a barracks, latrine, great hall, park, and can sustain 4 dupes for 160 cycles without adding in more water.

i always get excited when i see you have a new oxygen not included video:)

Have you ever tried Compressed Fluid Storage? It's been a while but it involves using several automated doors to push your gas/liquid down in a small area with pumps in it for extraction. If you use airflow tiles for fluids (and strong tiles for gas) you can fit thousands and thousands of tons into a 4x6 or 4x8 space.

Bed time viewing great way to end the day

Hey Francis John! Great video 😁 I was thinking about the automation of the petroleum tanks. If you combine both wires coming from the tanks into an OR gate. That way you can besure that all 4 petroleum generators are activated to burn the overflow :)

Great video 🔝👍

Have a great holiday, Francis!

24:31 you could probably just use a filter gate instead, it might be more reliable because it wouldn't activate if two blobs of carbon dioxide touch the sensors at the same time. Of course that would be very unlikely, but If you have a filter gate set to 10 seconds or something, it's basically impossible for it to activate when there's no CO2 below it.

Always love your ONI playthroughs. I learned everything I know about the game from you and Brothgar. I wanted to suggest that since you now have a ton of excess power, apply some good old fashioned Brute Force And Ignorance to some problem. What is a simple problem you could solve efficiently if you wanted to, but could instead solve by just throwing 1000 kW at it?

Just a possible tip. I usually do the plastic production inside the sauna, and do use of automation to take it out of the sauna before could melt!

I just finished the last video and I see this pop up, seems like you've got the hunger again :P

Wish you a good time in Scotland and many nice drinks :3

01:45 - "just to make sure nothing crazy goes wrong" annnnnnd that about sums up ONI

Highly recommend Glen Goyne Distillery. Has a great tour and tasting and is an easy drive from Edenborough

Hope you'll have a nice vacation.

Whoah, this episode came fast, and is very welcome

wish you an awesome trip.

Enjoy your trip, Francis! It'll be sad to lack your ONI videos but it's for a good cause as you drink your whiskery 😉 looking forward to the dumb looking game 😄

love your conent. keep it up man

Have a great vacation FJ!

18:17 Tbh that's Brothgar levels of overengineering. Personally I hooked a pipe feeding my boiler to a tank and a liquid shut off, when it's full, the crude stops flowing, clearing the radiant pipe in the boiler (to avoid the possibility of the crude turning in to petroleum while sitting in the counter flow pipe if I would shut off the liquid vent instead.). I have more water than I could reasonably use from other sources anyway, so I like having the boiler on an on/off switch. Probably one of the reasons I personally never attempted an industrial sauna.

if you happen to take a day trip to Glasgow there's a pub called The Pot Still that has more whisky on the wall than any other pub in the UK

Awe no oxygen next week. You'd better have a good time drinking the whiskeys 😆 🤣

Yes! Another ep! 🎉

So I found something out Francis, you can get liquid uranium from melting uranium ore as well as from melting depleted uranium. Why is it useful? Well you only need half as much uranium, since uranium ore is converted to depleted uranium at a 2:1 ratio. Very handy if you're as impatient as I am about getting to superheat things, just be careful to avoid melting the liquid port on your capsule like I did. It broke my save, very annoying.

Wanted to share a discovery with you guys. Know how annoying it is to vacuum out large spaces and it takes forever even if your throwing power at it. Well..... there is a faster way to do it. Still requires throwing power at it. The early game version uses a thermal regulator and the late game version uses supercoolant.... basically you vaccum out a spacw till its. Like 100 g a tile. Then you cool the gases till its liquid then pump it out/mop it. Super fast vacuum and no worries about mixing gases resucing pump effcieny

Once you have access to the superconductive planetoid, I think you should be able to expedite the rocket module melting process. I'm thinking drop magma inside the module until it's around 1400 celcius (slightly under magma solidifying temperature) and then finish the job with liquid niobium straight from the liquid niobium volcano.

If your traveling up near stirling theres a little village callled Deanston that has a very old Distillary. They do tours and tastings and theres a wee bothy for lunch. Good place to visit. its not miles up north and its not one of these new modern distillarys like most of the central belt has. I live there also haha

Hey Francis, have a nise weekend there! Hope you'll share some stories from your little vacation in the next episode.

Have an amazing holiday FJ! We'll watch some reruns while you're gone. Make sure to leave some whiskey for the Scotts :D

Edinburgh is my favourite city! Suggested Attractions: Camera Obscura (optical illusion attraction on the royal mile) Mary King's Close (Historical attraction on the royal mile) Underground Vaults. The Castle (walk up to the esplanade at night!) Palace of Holyrood House (if you like that sort of thing) Scottish Parliament (if you like that sort of thing) There's a hidden away wild west TV set down a back street somewhere (google it) Suggested Pubs/Bars: Deacon Brodie's Tavern (On The Mile) The Hanging Bat (Amazing Selection of Beers) Brewdog Cowgate (Small and friendly) The Auld Hoose (Order the nachos - you wont be disappointed!) I'll doubtless be able to think of more if you're interested!

start dumping saltwater into the sauna to pull heat from the rock and it filters out the salt

Enjoy the holidays francis

Enjoy your holiday mate

So I did the math. The magma Directly connected to your heat spike (1419 tons) would've lasted you for 545 cycles if you Brute-Force heated oil from 50C and it will last almost 10K cycles (9546) assuming petroleum boiler with 380C preheated oil. And it doesn't even consider all the other magma thermally connected via obsidian (which is several times more). TLDR you didn't need this volcano XD.

Happy holidays!

Since you are going full rocket exploits, you could also use them to dump useless gases and liquids into the void of space without needing to send a pipe all the way up the map. XD

Your overflow wire enables 1 generator when it should enable all 4. Then extend it to meter out excess co2/steam at the same time/rate. More reliable imo than the atmo sensor because of pressure spikes.

I was going to give you a hard time about all those temp shift plates, I didn't realise you wanted to keep less then 20kg of steam though :D

Francis as a fellow man of science i would like an experiment where we trow a dupe to the void below the the rockets you know for science

Have a great holiday FJ.
