What's your starting order?

[mattpage84]

Im averaging 30-40 days before 100% stress essentially shuts me down and i restart. I usually rush coal power right away, what does everyone else set as a goal upon starting?

[Apop85]

1. build toilet
2. dig room
3. access to water
4. place tiles in the room
5. maintain power grid (1 wheel 1 battery)
6. build microbe musher
7. build beds
8. research food --> decoration --> power --> gas&liquid
9. build decorations & plant food (5 plants per clone)
10. Add big battery
11. build pumps to transport water where you need it
12. research for water purifier und hydrogen generator
13. build hydrogen/oxygen room and pump the hydrogen from the electrolyzers into a hydrogen generator

if german is no problem or it's ok to translate it with google you can take a look at my guide

I know its off topic, but how do i install this game? It says alpha is available yet i dont see a download button anywhere

[mattpage84]

I can never seem to maintain an adequate hydrogen supply to run a generator

That is a very good, well thought out write up, and surprisingly it translated fairly well. Thank you for the ideas

A few things about the guide which may apply eventually, but seem to not currently be worth good practice for a long run currently.

Contaminated oxygen is more or less free oxygen at the moment. The diseases have so little impact may as well build a base in the contaminated area and just not deal with oxygen generation. (not really suggesting that people exploit it this way, but really the diseases are just almost non existent in the current build). Another thing is the building of the musher. You can rush farm tech day 2 and survive off of the wild food items and rations until the first crop of plants grow. This will save you water from creating stuff in the musher since water is your main limitter at the moment with the only renewable source from making your duplicants vomit all over. Just a few slight optimizations. This is also the reason I never take a cook or tinkerer since they are unneeded in the game's current state.

yeah true atm it makes no sense at all to cook or mush the food as there is no difference in kcal if you eat it raw or not. With any trick in this guide used i get to 100+ cycles without any troubles. And shure you can live in contaminated air but you'll accumulate a lot of stress. But i'll think about to edit the guide

no it doubles its content from raw to cooked. takes 5 meal worms to make 1 block. However since it is really easy to make a huge farm area, it is just a waste of water to process it.
