Showering remove the dirty water modifier.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that, I thought they only reduced the chance to get diseased, I've made showers before and it didn't prevent the sorta infinite stress spiral, but perhaps that's because I made them too late into it. I'll give em a try.

Wound up having this huge cave under me. Pretty neat.

Wow Aklyon you really messed yourself over by digging away a lot of your oxygen generation.

Unless Oxygen rocks go away on their own... Which... I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

They slowly evaporate, generating oxygen in the process. I don't know if digging them also releases the O2 or not.

[Criptfeind]

Yup, if you dig them up they still release the O2. Although I think you loose some of the rock to the void (IE: you dig up a 50kg block and maybe only get a 30kg rock) but they release it much quicker, since the amount they release is based on surface area.

Doesn't matter much either way, the oxylite is really just a very early game stop gap to give you enough o2 until you get your algae up.

[Neonivek]

But isn't Algae a limited resource too?

[Teneb]

But isn't Algae a limited resource too?

Yup. But colonies consume them really, really slowly.

[Criptfeind]

Everything is a limited resource, the death of your colony is inevitable eventually, at least how the game currently is.

They do, and I've hardly dug up any oxyite. Pretty much all the consumable ore is coal.

[Neonivek]

Well I am going to stay out of this game until it stops being a "Long road to death" game.

Those ALWAYS rub me the wrong way.

I understand that the game will probably always force you to move further and further for resources mind you. I'll just wait until it has an endgame or a way to not eventually die.

[Puzzlemaker]

I haven't bought it, but I thought you could compost and recycle all your materials?


Edit:  Looks like sustainability is one their roadmap of stuff to add.

[The Scout]

Strangely enough it tells me that my specs aren't good enough despite blowing the required ones out of the water. Also crashes when selecting New Game, so that's not a good start.

[ThtblovesDF]

Alpha stuff, eh? I had run into some crash points, too - also it seems to really enjoy a restart every now and then to keep everything fresh, kinda like prison architect...

Edit: And another save that crashes 5 sec after load...

Using titles that allow gas to pass as floor with a big farm undernearth makes things nice - sadly once you start to mess with liquid flows, filtering and all that the game usually shits itself...

[Drakale]

This game got good potential.

I'm kinda stuck in my first game since I ran out of coal and I cannot possibly sustain my colony with the hamster wheel. I tried the hydrogen generator but it won't run for any length of time on the weak hydrogen gas I got floating around. Definitely agree that there need more option to sustain the ecosystem, it quickly get to a point where you need to expand really fast to get resources and any mistake or unlucky placement is hard to recover from.

I think my next game I'll try to enclose my living space with a good oxygen management system and not print new replicants quite as fast.

Funny thing is that this game has been made before. It was called Diggles
