I hope others with more experience have much better thoughts or even some proven overall base layouts.

#Oxygen not included base how to

That is all I could think of, and although I have some ideas I clearly don't yet know which are good or how to fit them together into a proper base design. Maybe those areas are just rectangular caverns or maybe they are arrays of storage devices? But I have seen nobody do this so I hesitate, except for at least a central water cavern each for pure water, polluted water, clean with germs, polluted with no germs, polluted with germs (or fewer if I immediately clean it). Something screams to me that (outside or inside the wall? On one or distributed on both sides?) I should place primary liquid/gas 'storage tank' areas and pump all of those gasses/liquids there. Pipe O2 to near the base of each ladder, pump and separate all non-O2 gasses that drift to the bottom or top then send them to appropriate places. Some things (like a power generation center and maybe an oxygen production center) clearly belong outside the insulating wall, on one side. What is not clear to me is what (cheap) material to use for the insulating double-wall., or where to put it (i.e: at the edge of the green temp zone, or how far in/out from there. I think I read that it is possible to do double-walls and a space between that is then pumped to vacuum, for heat insulation (plus airlock to cross). It seems reasonable to enclose the main part of the base with insulated walls/floors. My gut says 3-blocks wide per ladder, but I might be wrong. How much space to leave around a ladder (for slide, pipes, wire and airflow) is another question. One is more compact, the other might allow for more morale and less traffic jams at the bathroom at the expense of longer distances at bedtime. I am not clear if it is better to make a central bathroom, great hall and doors, or whether to have a column with apartment modules for each duplicant stacked over each other with each its own bathroom, 1-bed dorm, 1-table mess hall. Of course, how many columns and what rooms go in what order (top to bottom) for each is a big question. At least one column should be the width of the Max dorm size as there are several types of room of that size. It is pretty obvious that I should arrange my base in columns with ladders on both sides. Here are some thoughts that run through my mind (I might be very wrong about some of this) : So I figured I would start this thread to collect overall layouts that people have found successful, and general 'overall' best practices. In other words where to place such modules in relation to each other. It seems like a good time to pause and rearrange my base before it gets too big.Īlthough I found many posts for how to build popular modules (like power generation) I have not seen much discussion on how to arrange a base as a whole.

I reached aprox cycle 40 with aprox 10 duplicants and I finally feel I have a stable base (although a bit warm in places and I have yet to find an ice biome or use geisers/vents).
