The RBLF is pleased to see the Splitsie is finally starting to appreciate the importance of having Batteries and providing them with power. Batteries are Glorious, long may they Power Us. Ohm Ohm Ohm…

I love the way of having "clutter" everywhere in those early stage of bases. eg dead filters in some airlocks, empty cans, some not digged out well enough frames, etc. Those things only happen when its hard enough that you don't have time to focus on cleaning up the base. Stationeers is really a great game, even with all its flaws its having. And also - I find the fact, that after finally building a tool maker, Splitsie still didnt update its mining and tool belt :-)

Ah, those poor trader bots. Called down by Splitsie, then being ignored an left rusting and melting in the hot corrosive venusian atmosphere

3:42:30 - RE cable safety, I've found that the best way to handle that is transformers. You only need two of the large transformers (which are 10 steel and 5 electrum each) to give a maximum of 100 kW allowance for a cable (each large transformer can supply up to 50 kW), and that will _completely_ prevent the wind generators from trying to provide more than 100 kW to your batteries. And as long as nothing else draws off the cable line with the wind turbines on it (ie. prior to the transformers), that also means the cable network on either side of the transformers will also not ever carry more than 100 kW of power and thus won't burn out any cabling. I use a pair of large transformers both before and after my battery bank, to limit input and output to that network to safe levels, and then small transformers (5 kW each) for step-down from my primary heavy-cable spine to secondary normal-cable networks per room/building/etc.

What I recall from Venus: Bedrock is not that far below the surface. I think on average about 3 frames or so. So digging down for more space, as someone suggested, is possible but limited. Single walls are strong enough to withstand the outside pressure, even when you have a vacuum inside the base. Windows however, will not hold, unless you have the reinforced ones. Power wise, you might want to start sectioning off parts of the base itself, preferably colouring your cables to keep track of what's on which circuit. Same with the gas pipes, particularly when you start pumping them into and out of rooms you want to breathe in.

According to the game files, bedrock is 5 cubes below the average surface level for Venus. Good callout on that, can't dig down much there.

That death loop about 3 hours in - you were doing so well! It's moments like those where Stationeers drives home why astronauts go for 10,000% overkill rehearsing procedures - One lapse in concentration at the wrong time, one crucial mistake -> it's curtains! What I like is that you can have hundreds of hours in the game, yet times like that can still induce panic! - You're in a pretty good position right now though, with power for now sorted. I can see why people avoid using the traders if possible - two long sessions and no basic seed trader - oof! - Once you've got your eating room up and have enlarged the landing pad to 5 x 5, maybe you could install the medium dish for traders - that way you can track/lock two traders at once - Another thing you _might_ consider is a Cryotube near your O2 tank - Gives you somewhere central to heal your avatar that is handy to all your current airlocks - If you loop off your O2 line to a pressure regulator (101kPa) to a 'T' pipe, other long end of the T to a backpressure regulator (99kPa) and thence back to the O2 line (via an atmospherics filter to get any CO2 out), then the "tail" of the T b/w the two regulators goes to the cryotube - that should flow gas through the cryotube

I am now glad he moved where he had the air vent to vent the furnace room. I thought I was not understanding his setup, but he admitted he had it wrong. So I felt more confident about understanding what is going on. But, then he shattered my confidence again, by putting the "empty canister" in the exact same place as he had the vent. Since it's full of hot oxygen, should it not used the same canister holder as the fuel canister extractor? -- Oh, he spotted it near the end..

3:58:00 - Seeds are always bought in packs of 3, iirc. Except maybe the temperature ferns. But food seeds, you always get 3 seeds from a purchase.

wind power follows a sine wave throughout the day, it's nothing super fancy. Small turbines generate a couple of kw with storm winds and the big ones generate 10 kw in storm wind.insulated things can neither gain nor lose heat through convection or radiation, insulation is perfect. emergency suits don't break down if they're worn. mk 2 portable tanks have a burst pressure of 20 MPa.

4:58:31 - you can use the mini beacon with the omni power transmitter and a wireless battery, and that does not take a lot of power.

You can use the large extendable radiator to warm things up outside. Never used it on Venus, but it works pretty decent on Europa.

This clone is not lung for this world.

I'm really surprised you not build a safe room first to eat and drink . That's 7 deaths now ?

As I recall there is an igniter now that you can install into a pipe which ignites the volatiles and nos in pipes

@KaedysKor

Ай бұрын

There is, but it's rarely needed for volatiles + NOS, since that mix auto-ignites at only ~50 C, which is below the point where the furnace stops processing and thus stops offgasing ores. Volatiles + O2 is where it's a bit more handy, since that takes ~300 C to auto-ignite.

3:16 The mkII can hold more pressure than a regular canister

Thought my mouse had tremor the other day...then looked over and saw my cheap controller sitting with something half across it....oh righhhht!! Interested to see how you use the heat exchangers. Still just mucking round with radiators on Mars. They work but not super efficient or fast. Very entertaining. Keep up the good work.

You get better output from solar than wind (even taking the large turbine into consideration), but wind also produce at night so a more steady supply. You'd have to go to Europa to get more power out of wind.

smelting ores for sale is one way to turn profit, mining them gets more but i would if i needed it buy the ore. smelt and sell back to the merchant. you can also sell off the excess gasses. put them in a carry tank and offload into a portable tank or small tank to save on piping through the base again.

i personaly think drinking is faster if you take smaller "sips." dont hold r click the whole time just a couple quick bursts

until you solve the atmosphere sit, maybe build a tiny room that will vacuum out to eat in. just need a hole n the wall, a door, and a powered vent. ->open door, enter, vacuum out, eat/drink, open door-> and wont be a waste, as once things stabilize, you have started your access to a new room

Not sure if your playing on the Beta branch. But they've added the insulated In-Line tanks and also adhesive insulation tape to upgrade the standard pipes.

@Splitise, can you use a bank of transformers to split the power from each bank of wind turbines across a set of ‘bus bar’ circuits to charge all of the batteries? Or maybe program a switch to cut batteries out of the output when they’re below 10% or something?

he has 30 invar in far right shelf

If Futurama has taught me anything is that RNGesus saves those who save themselves.

Would it not be better to use the iron frames under the wind turbines, since they don't need to be the better ones?

you can move the whole vendingmachine inside. it do not need to outside...

Makes me wonder if it might be worth writing up an IC program to have the dish automatically scan for and interrogate traders for you passively in the background. That means you needn't waste precious time interrogating traders manually. Also, that cardboard box you printed is a storage device. Could always cram in some extra ores to extend your mining trip or some unneeded junk to free up shelf space...

Deaths to Charlie? Two!

Seeds may require larger landing pad

G'day Splitsie!

In Venus, you have to use traders and everything else to be able to survive the first couple of days. Specially in stationeers difficult, in normal difficulty it will use less but still not enough to be able to build a run for gas, food, cooling all at the same time without any external source like traders, and specially, you don't start with the necessary resource to self sustain Venus is hot enough to smelt copper and gold, leave one furnace open to Venus atmo, and use it to smelt them and to off gas the others so the actual heated furnace don't lose to much heat. And yes, the hitbox of the Wind Turbine are wonky as fu@#. They should work fine with a grid with 1 space between, most of the time you can build, but sometimes it won't allow, some times I have to remove another entity nearby, place the turbine, then place the entity back at the exact same spot. Terrible ahhahaha Powered vents to empty large spaces, also caring a gps card you will never get lost again

You could do with a number of days since last accident sign

Is there gases in the atmosphere you could use for a gas generator?

Finally managed to catch up with what I couldn't watch live - why did I leave just before you de-skulled yourself, three times in a row? Just by the way - you can drag ores onto the backpack icon itself to put them into it, saves having the bag open on the (already) quite busy screen.

Looking Great. May I sergest that you start digging down a few layers as you exspand your living area. yes your tunning into a mountain but I would still ramp down just to avoid any unfortunated repaits of the body pinball. also we need to get you a chair of bones, you could use yourown :P

With high density atmosphere the wind does not necessarily blow faster but it has more weight, so carries more force which means wind turbines could be connected to a heavier load to produce more power. Alas, the game does not consider this.

at this point you are mostly past the heat issue but if you needed to generate a ton of heat could you make a 1 block room like an airlock and then turn on your welder and then vent it to the furnace?

Hey splitsie, I recently started trade school for becoming an electrician, and I was wondering what games you might know of that might help me learn some things electrician related. I was also wondering if this game is too technical for someone who hasn’t played too many games like this before. Thanks and loving the content as always!

So i started playing around with an all electric advanced furnace. It can make every ingot in the game. The only downside is it takes GOBS of power. However i was playing on mars so my starting temperature was very low. Also i use a large transformer as a power switch to turn the heaters on and off.

Would it be better to have several furnaces? encase each one with its own internal atmosphere such that it wont radiate energy? That way you could set up like a Solder and waspaloy furnace since those are low temp high pressure and have 1 be a stellite furnace where it is super hot inside its cage and the gases in it are set up to make stellite? That way you hopefully only spend the electricity a few times but afterwards your furnace stays at temp?

Hey splitsie! wouldn't making a room that you can breath in be a good idea so you are not killing yourself every half hour?

Sorry for double post, so whats your plan for pressurizing your living space? I noticed a repeat alloy right before you ended so will you sell more ores and invest that money in some water and gases so that you can finally take showers inside? Hopefully seed trader rng finally gives you one or else Venus goes from hardcore survival Splitsie to enterpreneur Splitsie. As funny as it would be you would have a room where you would grow seeds… if you had some xD. Edit: Yes you can bring the dish inside and it will still work correctly.

I haven’t finished the video, yet. I’m just putting this down so that I don’t forget. Could you (temporarily) run a pipe from your oxygen cooling line into the inner airlock. With a powered vent to pull cooled oxygen into the airlock, so that you can eat/drink. Then reverse the vent to put that oxygen back into the system? If you’ve solved this problem, already, please ignore me. Lol

I wonder how long he could Survive on just using the same air from a single canister, don't need a whole system, setup, just a canister filler and two pumps? 1 to push air into the canister, one to pull air out of the caninster. **Edit** Actually, you could do it with just 1 pump.. Open the canister in the room to air up the place. And then put the canister into a filler, and pump the air back into the canister.. And just keep repeating that process until the canister itself becomes unviable. Put the canister into the filler/emptier in the furnace room to empty it out, and then put a fresh supply of oxygen from the main tank.

I wonder how you can complain about power, yet leave at least 2 out of the 3 crafting machines on almost all the time, and never turn down the broadcast power on your antenna. 1:34:51 "I don't know what to do with this cardboard box now."
