Petroleum boilers designed to run on either a regular or minor volcano. Requires zero maintenance or space materials. Will process 10kg/s of crude oil to petroleum indefinitely.
IMPORTANT : This boiler is not designed to run below 6kg/s, if you try running it below that the heat exchange is to long and you will get burst pipes. If you need to run it below 6kg/s replace half of the last leg of the heat exchange (at the top) with insulated pipes to reduce heat exchange. Another side note try not to change the flow down to quickly, switching from 10kg to 6kg in one step can result in damaged pipes. Drop the flow by 2kg at a time and then give it a cycle to stabilize before dropping the flow again.
A nuclear reactor and a few other bits and bobs. It's amazing how much you can cram into a melted rocket. Once you have the bare essentials you still have loads of space left over.

A quick tutorial on steam rockets, well I tried but somehow managed to make it 20 minutes long. I try and cover using both regolith and an aquatuner to make steam. But the most important bit is the preparation to move away from steam. If you build your first steam rocket the right size and in the right way the migration to petroleum is painless and natural. Also the acquisition of the necessary research in the right order can make your life easier.

It's really hard to not collect everything you see. I have just been making chests to storm more stuff I don't need. I collect Iron so I can make those chests, while at the same time collecting everything near the iron. So I end up with more stuff that I have to store in more chests. Maybe the Recycler will save me. I am kind of done with all the leaves we are getting.

We are in the end game now, all the pieces are in place. The question is can Randy throw enough insanity at us to break a 200 strong base. Casualties are a given with this style, but another question is how many and how much will it hurt moral.

Put the Steam vent tutorial in a separate video, this video covers some of the details and mechanics that I left out of the Oil and Steam vent videos to help with coherency.

That was the toughest thing I have build since the Mini Base run. So many little things that needed to go right to make it work. I'm still worried that I have missed something and it's going to break while we are in space. But I suppose that is half the fun. Next up, lets go source some supercoolant.

Today we get to look as some wonderful bases showing a wide variety of styles. I'm totally stealing several of the ideas present here.
First up we have OmniXBro with their map AllDoneAgain which contains a unique oil boiler and a super awesome sour gas boiler among other things.
13:48 Then we have Jason with the map Preservation, where true to it's name they have preserved most of the natural biomes and have had a minimal impact. While simultaneously reaching space and implementing liquid hydrogen rockets.
20:18 Then We have Mack with The Diseased Crater, where everything natural has been stripped out in pursuit of glorious industry. When I say everything I'm including all the gas with that, the entire map is a vacuum!!! Add to that there is not a natural tile left and mass liquid and gas compression going on. Including compressing mama. This is a labor of love.
I'v got several more bases left to tour but if you want to send me in more the email is in the about section of the channel. I'm going to get around to them all this time, no compromise. Apologies for the delays and for all the great bit of bases I missed, time is a harsh mistress.

We have to wait for the Dercko farm to come online before we will have enough plastic for our planned industrial brick. We also need plastic for steam turbines to tap into the magma volcano's. So time to explore and acquire as much resources as we can while we wait. First up Oil biome which we quickly demolish. Then onto exploring the map to locate the majority of the vents and geysers. We run out of time but next up hot industrial brick.
