Sadly, this proves to be the end of the playthrough.
I did finally receive a farmer (Jennifer - also interested in suit wearing, and is really strong), but it proves to be too little too late. Whilst I was prepping the Coal plant area and working on moving into a new biome (collecting chlorine), we were running out of food. I tried planting new crops, but it didn't help in time. The first to fall were Steven and Edain. Swiftly followed by Derek and DaveJ... At that point, I called it a day, as losing 4 dupes in such quick succession made any kind of ongoing success seem unlikely.

This is the first session from a playthrough of Oxygen Not Included. Simple Terra map. Unfortunately, the resolution on the video isn't good enough to read the text!
My first three dupes are James (interested in Building and Supplying) who is a Gastrophobic Binge Eater, DaveL (interested in Researching and Operating) who is a Germ Resistant Vomiter (and apparently Balloon Artist, so I'm looking forward to seeing that if he ever becomes happy) and Steven (interested in Digging and Tidying) who is Anemic but has an Iron Gut (also a Binge Eater). Food supply is clearly going to be an issue with one dupe who refuses to cook and two who need more food. DavidJ joins the team around cycle 3 (interested in Decorating and Building) but brings one of my biggest initial problems with him - he's flatulent, which means nobody likes to work in the same room as him! He's also germ resistant though and will, apparently, cover things with stickers if he gets happy. Finally, we get Dale (likes to Tidy and Supply), also germ resistant, but squeamish. Unfortunately, for the whole initial 12 cycles, I don't get the option of a farmer or cook, which makes things a little hairy food wise for a little bit, and the starting biome is quite small - I'm going to have to be a little constrained until I'm ready to venture out. I'm clearly also a little out of practice, making some silly mistakes with my starting layout. However, by the end, I do have a fully plumbed in water reclamation system for my new washroom - a little later than I'd like but still there. No deaths yet, but we did have a close call at one point where a dupe refused to dig themselves out of a problem... Planning to move deeper in the next session in order to start looking at coal power, rather than relying on the bikes. |
