Target heat, oxygen, and pressure?

[Bill Garthright]

I searched for an answer to this, but there's nothing recent. How do we tell how much heat, oxygen, and pressure we're TRYING to get on the planet.

We have no more blueprints to discover by increasing heat on the planet. Is that enough, then? There appears to be at least some ice which hasn't yet melted (I won't mention where to avoid spoilers).

And we have enough oxygen that we don't need extra when we're traveling around. However, there IS another blueprint we haven't unlocked. So, clearly, that's not enough, then? But how much IS enough?

We're still a long way from terraforming everything, and our biomass remains pathetic, even though plants and trees are appearing everywhere in the world (wonderful!). But how do we figure out the appropriate targets for the individual machines, here?

After all, TOO MUCH heat might be a problem, too, I'd think. Well, we're just trying to figure out what to do next. And I just can't tell what we most need more of.

Thanks.

It all depends on how fast you want to get to the final stage. If you want it to go faster, build more. You can not have to much of anything. It all goes toward your Ti total.

Well you can have too much in one spot, especially near your base. Most people's FPS will drop if they build too much near their base, so spread it around.

Don’t deconstruct anything, by the end game I usually have 8 t5 heaters with a triple optimiser thing going same with pressure, once you have unlocked all recipes the heaters will still increase your TI overall to complete the game, if your biomass is low work on getting the best things for biomass and send up rockets for plants and insects if you have them

However much you can get. Everything contributes to its own category, as well as Terraformation Index, as a whole.

Not in this game.

Almost all the science in the game is wrong. Ignore what you know from real life.

In terms of Heat/Pressure/Oxygen, more is better. Aim to get the numbers high. There is no 'correct' number, just higher numbers are better.

Your best protocol to 'win' this game is to look through your unlocks display, find something you want to play with, and work towards unlocking it. That's it. You will eventually unlock everything, so your choices are just down to what order you choose to do it in.

Yes for instance, every time I've died in real life, I haven't respawned and I can't spontaneously build big metal buildings out of thin air either.

OK, thanks! I'm not a big hurry to get to the end game. I just wondered how to tell that I'm too high - or two low - on one metric compared to the others. Apparently, that's not a problem. Good to know.

Thanks again.
