141 Dupe Challenge 7 : The cost of survival : Oxygen not included
The horrors of peace are upon us. To keep 141 dupes oxygenated we have some hard choices. Some of them are a half measure, some are to far away and one is just morally dubious to say the least. So to salve my conscience I am going to leave the decision to the comments. Though I have to admit the oxygen deprivation hotel intrigues me. In theory you could support as many dupes as the map could fit. Literally hundreds, the possibilities are mind boggling.

I'm beginning to look forward to infestations, lots of kibble ingredients and a lot of insect jelly to sell. They are turning into a resource instead of a drain. Due to some time constraints I only get in a few hours play so the video is a bit short. But we do get to raid a quest settlement which was helped by one of the attackers overdosing on go juice and falling over before even starting to fight us. The plan is going ahead, wall in the map and get 40 pawns. Going to have to stop being so picky.

Time to have a look at what our locality has to offer. Long story short it has everything we want and more. Drecko are going to solve two of our problems and Iron is going to make steel production way simpler.

Artillery are amazing. Though I think we may have not played the game quite the way it was intended. When you own the whole map it's a little easier to slow down the incoming hordes and unleash the full power of a maxed out mech. I'm interested to give the Survival mode a run it looks like it would be very very difficult, well at least until you get the hang of it.

That was a bit to much monster meat for our team to handle safely. With that many hit points you just have no way to killing them fast enough. Well not when they drop right into your living room. But at the end of the day being able to revive from death does help take the sting out of the occasional loss.

That was a lot of slime lung. I can see now why people are a bit disappointed in how dangerous it is. Our dupes are pretty good so they managed to power through the illness. We have now secured plastic, gold, reed fibre, Enriched Uranium and steel. Time to start the late game projects.

Can't seem to put this game down no matter how I try. It's got that super addictive "Just one more thing" going on. I'm not sure it's a great game but it is a great time sink.

To many awesome bases and designs don't get the exploration they deserve so I thought I would try and show off their features to the best of my abilities. If you have a base you would like to share my email is in the about section.
Huge thanks to Bradlee and Valendr0s for sharing their beautiful bases with the community. You are truly great people.

This is the last episode of Oasiss, well spoiler warning so don't read any further than this. Seriously it ruins the episode so stop now if you don't want to be spoiled. I don't manage to freeze the whole core in time, I run out of time. I'll have a short video out next week with the core fully frozen because lets face it, once you start you have to see it to the end. This video mostly goes over some comments, answers a few common question and takes decor to extremes the devs never intended. Oh and a rocket out to the dimensional rift.
Save game file, fair warning this save is a chunky monkey and at best will cause a good computer to start sweating.

I would like to point out again, this is a silly design challenge and has no real use outside of this specific scenario. It was however a fun challenge to wrap my head around, I think we got a solid design out of it in the end.
