New Colony | ONI Spaced Out | Max Difficulty Ep 1

welcome back ladies and gentlemen today we start our max difficulty game the patch finally hit to add rhyme back to the world and that's what we're gonna use unfortunately it's not in the spaced out size clusters it's actually only available in the classic clusters which means our main planetoid will be bigger they've also re-added the individual planetoid traits i'm really excited about this because it really adds an element of randomization to your gameplay part of the reason why i love ani so much is every game is different speaking of randomization we're going to be using random numbers to decide all sorts of things for instance when we are ready to pick up a new dupe out of the printing pod or in this case the features of our planetoid without further ado number six it is so the first thing we do is head over to our rhyme cluster and then we would normally pound this six times because that's what the random number generator told us to do but then i saw something i didn't like that and that was that our planetoid came up with geodorman we can deal with a regular oil and metal pore and other things that just make the map more difficult but one thing i did not want to deal with is geodorman because if the planet is geo-dormant well then i'm going to have less content to actually produce on that planetoid so i want to get a map that is either standard or geo-active i'd prefer it to be geoactive because then i would be able to produce a ton of content on taming each type of geyser and vent so despite our best wishes on using rng or planetoid selection i think we're gonna go ahead and just make sure that we have a planetoid that fits our bill and i think this is the perfect one for us so yes it's geoactive so we're gonna have plenty of geysers and vents we're gonna be able to produce a lot of great content because of it it also has some geodes with some rare materials in it which is kind of a cool bonus unfortunately it's gonna have a lot of volcanic activity we're gonna need to make sure early there's no abyssal light breaks otherwise rime won't be cold for very long and then finally it has an alternate pod location that could be bad too if we end up spawning right next to another biome that has the volcano in it and then all of a sudden we're not growing crops and this is the shortest series that i have put out some other features of this one is looks like our swampy asteroid will have slime molds and medium boulders our tundra asteroid will have a subsurface ocean that's kind of cool and then finally the marshy asteroid is metal pore the rest have no unusual features so without further ado let's get this going so after doing some thought i decided to stick with digger rancher and researcher now having a digger dupe and a researcher dupe at the start is not abnormal the rancher dupe might be a little abnormal but we're doing this because whenever we decide hey it is time for another duplicate we're gonna roll the random number generator and then go into the printer pod and whatever number that thing comes up with that's the dupe we're picking up which means we may not actually have access to a rancher for a long long time i'm already nervous enough about getting a cook a cook at least is only one skill point into any dupe and then they can learn cooking but for ranching you really just need a rancher additionally our rancher will do a little bit of farming work so it's all good now we'll respect rng's last number with the number six and we'll roll these each six times and here's what we ended up with joshua's not bad plus eight to excavation molans and a small bladder i'll take small bladder unfortunately our rancher is not great yeah they have some digging and some cooking which hey that might come in handy they have a bottomless stomach that was our worst fear that means nicola here is going to consume 2500 calories per cycle thanks nicola and then gene is a researcher who really loves building things sorry gene you're not gonna get to build too many things as for names we heard a lot of great suggestions i think we're still gonna go with sort of a comic book feel it seemed to get the most likes so meet thor black panther and dr banner now if you think of better names for dupes as they come through the printing pod or these three dupes themselves let me know in the comments below because you can always change a dupe name and i kind of like the name that they gave the colony but we need to put something about max in there so max paradise it is and finally without further ado oh the start of a new colony let's go ahead and pause it instantly and then give it a zoom out first thing i notice is the average temperature around here is about 15 degrees there's a nice little algae patch up here our duplicants are disease prone which means hypothermia it's gonna be a thing you can see they start with a germ resistance of minus two in addition since they're under frankly depressing they're gonna be stressed out all the time we're gonna have to build like massage tables and stuff to keep these dupes chill and then here's black panther's beautiful bottomless stomach consuming 2500 calories per cycle now the water situation is a little grim i only see these two pools so i think we're going to start off by using this pool here i'm a little worried what this leads to though because i don't want all this water to drain we're going to be using it maybe eventually we can make a sort of water storage down here but until then i think we'll have to do with what we have these are the first dig commands as soon as they end up getting a little bit of sandstone we'll be able to build the old ladder system i think we'll just go straight down with it and then we'll break into here and put a beautiful picture pump actually that's too low we need to go up a little bit higher so we will break in right here i think that's better and why are we so concerned about that because every little bit matters for instance our dupes already have a four percent stress so anytime they get wet or anything like that they're gonna get miserable we'll also dig down a vent shaft oh yeah the carbon dioxide is already doing a number i think we'll go ahead and put in a few cots here we'll build one to grow on and then we'll build our bathroom somewhere around here that way it's close enough to the water so it takes some less time to transport it while we still have the old bathrooms and based on these floors i think we'll go right here this should be good while the dupes continue doing our digging we can actually go ahead and set things up i think this will be good here two sinks two out houses and a couple of doors now this is a giant cavern it's got a lot of carbon dioxide into it so i want this carbon dioxide to kind of flow out and down before we start walling this in i do want to get them that morale bonus sooner rather than later but for right now we'll leave this open as a matter of fact we probably need to dig down a little bit to make a sort of carbon sink so we'll just put a few more ladders down and let all the carbon dioxide sink into here speaking of which we have found plenty of more water now is that double set of sand gonna be okay was that water gonna leak out i know it would definitely bust if we for instance dug that out so why don't we while this stand and everything is still there put a tile right there let's do it here too just notice that we found one mealwood seed one i'm hoping there's some more in here either way we need to get research going rather quickly because we want to get something to plant that mealwood in so i think we'll set research up right here perfect the blocks are going in just fine as panther works on getting that next block in hopefully it goes okay oh beautiful let's get our priorities set we want four to do a lot of the building and digging panther is eventually going to be doing farming and ranching so we'll just upvote them on both and then dr banner yep you're our researcher in fact why don't we go ahead and tell everybody they're not allowed to do researching at all other than dr banner but since there's not a lot of ranching and farming to do right now when you're not doing that you can do some supplying and some storing all right our power and research area is all cored out for us let's go ahead and pause this make sure we do it right all right i think this looks good for the start we put the wheel by the entrance because we want all the carbon dioxide that's being generated while the dupe is running on the wheel to go right down the shaft so to kind of help that out we'll send the manual generator right here we left a little gap in here that way when we get our jumbo battery we can put it right there in place and we have enough room for our super computer when it's time end of cycle one we didn't get as much accomplished as we normally do because we needed to dig so far down to get to our water supply we could have always put the water pump over here i plan on using gravity and taking this water and dumping it into here eventually so for us it's better to use the lower water source but one thing to say though we are definitely not going to be in a hurry when it comes to running these dupes around because even a minor mishap could spell disaster and black panther is eating again because of course he is speaking of which let's go ahead and set up some priorities alright we set up four additional shifts and then we assigned two dupes per shift to start with only because we have two wash basins and two outhouses and this setup will get us to eight dupes before we need to start adding more shifts or what's more likely will start tripling and quadrupling up dupes on the ships which brings up the question of total duke count i have no idea the planetoid is going to tell us that long before we are able to figure that out if the planetoid can support 16 dupes well looks like we're having 16 if the planet toy can go as high as say 24 well that would be preferred because that way we'll have plenty of dupes to send off to other colonies unfortunately it looks like this is gonna turn from bad to worse because our outhouses aren't up and the dupes are ready to go to the bathroom we got the first out house in the second one's coming along just a minute too late apparently it wasn't just a minute too late because thor decided to pee his pants instead of using the outhouse that is fully stocked and ready probably because panther was using it while we're getting science online we're gonna go ahead and set up some digging primarily because we need to find the muckroot as for research itself i think the first step is going to be basic farming and since we're here we might as well go right into meal prep that way we can get our mess tables online oh wow something i just realized this is very cold dirt we're gonna need to stop that right now this is -9 degrees this is minus 1.3 we have ways to combat that we'll start by putting some batteries here and then we'll just connect them up and that way it'll warm this area up just a little bit because eventually we need to put crops there now for now we're going to be starting with mealwood unfortunately we've only found three seeds so we need to put down this mealwood as soon as possible everywhere where it's warm we did find a blossom seed too so we can do some berry blossoms here which means we need to deconstruct this so panthers decided to eat inside the latrine which it's great we have the latrine because it's giving us another plus one morale bonus we have something dangerous here it's a hatch that hatch will eat everything that is important to us specifically the nutrient bars and the muckroot so we need to get those moved as soon as possible so here's our plan since we don't have any food storage yet we're just gonna box this hatch in we'll put a priority of six on that hopefully they will complete it before that hatch wakes up and starts getting hungry for nutrient bar so we're going to try to dig this area out relatively quickly to try to get all this food stuff moved in the meantime we've blocked the hatch in that way when they wake up they're not going to try to eat our nutrient bars at least i hope so i believe the hatch has to be sitting on the tile with the food in order to eat it all right it's new dupe time and this is how it's gonna work we're gonna take a look inside this printing pod which i already have and in this case i really like stinky stinky would be beautiful it'd be a second rancher it's another mouth to feed but they have gourmet and they're a ludite not too shabby but the only way we'll be able to pick up stinky as if our old random number generator says we're allowed to pick duplicate number two so back to powershell we go and because we want a range of one two or three the command is minimum one and maximum four and let's see what we get we get duplicate number three so now we come back here and duplicate number three is frankie so we can decide whether or not we want frankie or not this is obviously not as hard as picking a dupe every single time but playing max difficulty and selecting every dupe every single time the pod comes up that's not something that i believe would be very enjoyable and in this case we're gonna pass on frankie we're gonna have to make do with three dupes next up on research i think we're gonna go straight into power regulation and since we're there we're gonna go grab internal combustion as well and i believe after that we're probably gonna get into advanced research because i'd like to get smart batteries online as soon as possible so that way we can build a sort of power plant of sorts all right our ration boxes are completed to start off we're putting everything in there but this brings up an important point we need to get that grill online that way we can cook the meal lice because our dupes eating meal lice raw has a chance of giving them food poisoning and food poisoning of this difficulty is not as pleasant but now that we have those ration boxes up we could let down this wall and let this hatch out but i don't think that's the best idea we took away the two-door system because we wanted to put some additional planter boxes here and then i realized something the beautiful light that we're using from our printing pod to feed our berry blossoms well it goes three to the right and only two to the left so for now until we get our light bulbs we're only gonna be able to have four berry blossoms i suppose it's time to get some oxygen online uh everything's looking kind of not good we'll put our beautiful oxygen diffuser here somewhat centrally located and then we'll put a storage bin right next to it for all the algae there is some more mealwood up here and a berry blossom so i think we're gonna dig all this out which will cause those seeds to drop there's also a bunch of little scattered things in here too hopefully some more seeds now the disadvantage is it's right next to this ice which is what's causing it to be so cold and i would say we could insulate it in but you'd have to insulate this entire area because it is just not contained looks like all that carbon dioxide is floated down so i think we can go ahead and finally make the barracks into a room that should be that and also on our off time we're going to be digging up there's a bunch of other muckroot and everything like that over here so we want to grab it loving this algae patch we'll be able to survive off of oxygen diffusers for a long time so here's one of those geodes it has a bunch of gold amalgam and some diamond this is beautiful it's gonna be a while before we have the skills to dig to it but still looks nice all the less this area here is also pretty warm it doesn't start dropping until around here so we're gonna dig out a little bit of this to try to put some more mealwood here look at us we're already up to six mealwoods that's depressing now normally our mealwood that gives us 200 calories in a cycle because it produces 600 calorie meal ice over three cycles and 200 calories per cycle normally we were able to feed a dupe off of just five meal woods well because these are hungry boys now it takes ten mealwood per duplicate that is insane hence the reason we're in a hurry to get down as much mealwood as possible now berry blossoms can actually get a little lower they can go down to 5 degrees versus the mealwoods 10 degrees so i think we're gonna throw a little blossom ranch in here since we're starting to talk about food we're going to put our electric grill in a weird little position here and the only reason we're putting it here is because it's kind of close to the ration box now this is a very temporary setup because we have a lot of stuff we need to get online as quickly as possible before you know we starve to death i hate running this huge copper run but hey could always be worse next up on the research getting ready to build our mess hall which means we need some flower pots and stuff so why don't we get the ceiling light and then go into hanging pots the ceiling light that way we can continue building that bristle bar some farm all right it's going to be a while before our blossom farm is fully populated but i wanted to take a second to show you how it looks some of the key features because we're using a planter boxes it actually raises the height of where the plant is so by taking a look at the light map you can see that's the reason why the lights are spaced out the way they are if we were using the farm tiles we could actually put two more plants per light because you could go down another tile i don't necessarily want to put in farm tiles quite yet i'd rather leave the natural material this is quick it's easy it'll work another great feature is these two batteries here you can see that over here it's minus 20. so we're using these two batteries as sort of a chill barrier and so far it's working temps in here range from 8 to 20. so it's not too bad now eventually we'll get some insulated tile and we'll have to put some insulated tile around our base rather quickly because we're going to be dependent on these crops for quite some time but we finally finished our electric grill which is great because it means we can start making pickled meal so why go through the extra process of taking meal lice turning it into pickled meal well for a couple of reasons meal lice spoils in 8 cycles pickled meal spoils in 32 so that's a huge bonus but also the act of cooking the food on the electric grill gets rid of all the food poisoning germs now all we have to do is go up into consumables and make sure that no one's eating meal lice as a matter of fact while we're here we'll make sure they won't eat any bristle berries either and then the last step was just to take panther and put him into grilling now hopefully eventually we will have a dupe that is a dedicated cook that way panther can get to the business of ranching and farming for now this will do nicely in fact we'll even give them their hats dupes love their hats we've had a couple of round of dupes but quite frankly i don't want to take on any more dupes right now until we know we have the colony's food supply settled until then taking a dupe right now would just be like shooting myself in the foot all right our first bristleberry has came which means we can actually now select gristleberry and save forever and it's with this point that we can actually figure out how many gristle berries it will take to actually feed her dupe now our standard dupe in other words everybody except for black panther in his bottomless stomach needs 2 000 calories per cycle and we can see that the gristle berry actually gives us 2 000 calories so then just looking at the domestic growth where it says in six cycles it'll produce one bristleberry that means we need six bristle blossoms per duplicant so for three duplicates that's 18 bristle blossom plants well this is 15 here plus we have four here which gives us 19 which is perfect because the timing is always off a little bit because the 18 plants is only if as soon as that bristle blossom was ready to harvest a dupe came over and harvested and planted another one it never happens like that so having one extra is really nice we're also going to continue to grow this mealwood we already have 72 tons of dirt i'm not too concerned about finding dirt and having extra food on hand for when we do have another duplicate will be helpful now all this is not taking into account the bottomless stomach dupe it's not too big of a deal considering that we have some extra millwoods going now we might be able to core off some other areas for some future farming for instance over here and we'll do that if the needle rises i'm hoping to be into hatch ranching by then but we'll see right now it's definitely getting tight though we're down to 8 400 calories so we're gonna keep doing some digging in the background to try to find more muckroot until all this farming gets online but i feel like we're there i think our first few cycles were a success and the colony's not dead yet big win in my book so here's the start of our blossoming new colony i hope you enjoyed seeing it from the start i know i'm looking forward to this series i hope you are too and i'll talk to you soon [Music] you
