Hi-Tech Evolution Chamber - Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out! 

Tested a water-submerged rocket. Need to test with lava.

Germs are definitely underpowered. Would need an update with a big emphasis on germs & healing, which would ramp-up the difficulty.

@@greezyhammer764 highly reccomend the mod Diseases Restored if you want germs to he meaningful

@@RobertLutece909 Have never had problems with a tiny 2x1. Sure, use it if you like it. There are simpler, smaller and less fps impacting ways of doing this tho. This one sure is fancy and all, with it's gas glitch and water level rising. Oh and it's not the easiest to set up and time to build can be an important thing for such a system which most likely would be set up relatively early in the game. So yes, it's not the most practical design for it's purpose.

@@tyraelpl You are correct. This can be accomplished with the 1 tile pit and a screen door with just enough water to fill the pit completely. No special resources needed and can be completely automated with no dupe interaction needed.

Thank you! I'm all about going over the top :D

You don't even need an airlock. Do the 1 square pit, 2 squares on each side, put a screen door over it and put 1007kg of water in it. Or just enough to pass the one square line and enter the door's square. This keeps them from floating to the top and getting air but allows dupes and sweepers to pick up the resulting meat and egg shells.

@@DarthPoyner haven't had much success with 1000 kg liquid pits, they avoid it, or it must be just my imagination, never fiddled with the build for more than a cycle or so, though access to the pit is somewhat convenient... Never seen a Hatch walk willingly into a pit it could drown after its Dupe who lovingly groomed it shed a teardrop into the water pit and bid farewell from the other side of the evolution chamber

Good point! I like to over-engineer things. Definitely there are much more compact ways.

@@DarthPoyner Don't even need that much liquid. Even a drop will do you once you close if off with a tile and have an auto sweeper transport the meat/eggs. Plus it's the point of the game. You can simplify or over engineer as much as the game will allow or until the devs change it up.

Takes up more space, costs a ton more energy, and if you are feeding the creatures waiting for evolution then the food. Fun but completely over-engineered.

@@DarthPoyner - Maybe for this, but I'm seeing more of these door pump/pressure up designs lately for different scenarios. Hyper-focusing on the most efficient designs possible for everything can be rather boring and the game is forgiving enough as long as you know what you're doing.

To be tested. Cooking-up something for upcoming video.

Curious what is the practicality of this over just dumping eggs into a pool of water with a door? Is this for super-late game and pumping out calories for the isoresin tree? Feels like you only do this if you're running incubators flat out.

Conveyor egg dropper into a pool is definitely most efficient. But I also wanted to see if the adult critter drop-off pool can be improved.

100% Just had a crazy month, but going to ramp-up videos again soon.

For sure, this was just a proof of concept.
