It says requirements is water, but there's no plumbing option to pump water to it.

Dupes will need to carry bottled water to it. They can bottle water using a pitcher pump (in the plumbing build menu).

Thanks :) Now for another issue, how do i connect water pump and pipes to the pitcher pump? The pitcher pump is in a very bad spot atm with little air

Best answer is don't use the microbe musher (unless absolutely necessary or late-game for tofu).

I get you're trying to use it, post a screenshot of your setup (including the water pump) and someone can help but really, the food available from the musher in the early game is almost worse than no food at all. Literally anything else is better, go look for cracked ground and dig, you'll find all kinds of food like muckroot. Only eat musher food (especially mush bars) if there's absolutely nothing else.

Pee on the floor is the least of your problems ... But there's a Mop command.

Seriously you should watch some YouTube (Francis John is great) or read some guides to get some idea of what you should be doing. You should be making rooms to get the bonuses and you shouldn't have 10 dupes at this point, just for a start ...

Your water pump is fine, the dupes should be able to use it without suffocating.

Seriously though, this base is heading to nowhere's-ville if you don't get a handle on it soon. Those 9 mealwood aren't going to feed 10 dupes.

agree with bokonon. Your base is a good learning curve, but will fail.

You have to much dupes, start with 3 or 4 until you get a base running how you like it. Do not use 5+ oxygen generators, 1 can supply like 6-8 dupes. the generators eats tons of algae, you got like 6t left of it, it also uses water, if that pool is the only water left then...ouch.

mealwood is 5 per dupe i thought, i never used it. bristle berries takes 3.5 per dupe. microbe musher also uses algea and water, a lot, so avoid it at all cost (if you can).

Coal power is amazing isn't it? But do not use it without a smart battery, even if your normal batteries are full, it will keep burning coal, a smart battery turns it off and stops wasting coal.

bad air ain't so bad at all, dupes can hold their breath for quite a while, so don't worry about it and don't put oxygen generators there.

This is the only part I disagree with. There's not really any problem with the diffusers where they are. Just a little further to refill them but it's not that far.

More important than where you generate your oxygen is making sure it can get where you need it, open your staiways (ladder-ways?) to at least 2 wide, preferably 3 (your dupes can jump the gap easily) to allow better flow of the gases. Or put in some airflow tiles if you have researched them, but expand your ladder-ways to 3 wide also so you can put in a fire pole next them and maybe tubes.

A year old tutorials though, isn't those a bit outdated.

Most things will still be fine. It's largely only going to be things that exploit weird mechanics that are at all likely to no longer be true.

Agreed. And there are definitely more recent tutorials than a year ago ...

someone should make a new video, that covers literally anything and everything, just so people will be like "but the video is too long!" so we can go "yeah but it reiterates what all the older short videos go over sooooo."

Too bad wikis aren't more popular. I get that it's harder for a contributor to monetize or get kudos from their work, but it's effective for documenting information, including how out of date that information may be.

Apparently Water Sieve used to output sieved water at 40C, now it passes through without a temperature change. Things like that are important details to design decisions. A revised wiki entry is such an efficient way to communicate the change.
