Popped Eardrums
Hello all duplicants,
I need help. I am trying to play this game preferably as much as I can. My colonies died on starving, temperature, germs etc... finally I hope I fixed all of these with new colony but there is a new problem and that is popped eardrums.

To produce Oxygen I am using only Algae Terrarium and I found out that this problem is caused due high pressure. I found out that I have in my base some parts with 5kg Oxygen.

Is this the problem what I have and how can I solve it? I don't want to open all doors due temperature from outside.

I am sending screenshots of my base.

Thank you for the help or ideas what I am doing wrong.

If you have low pressure somewhere; build a pump near the terrariums and a vent on the other side of the low pressure area.

If you have sufficient o2 everywhere you should just demolish some terrariums.

The terrariums will continually produce - if you limit their production it will eventually reduce. Generally, with the stress, its too late to fix if you arent a semi-advanced player. I have had to restart a few times to terrariums over producing, so now I either plan ahead to use them, or only use them early game.

Though Hedning is right - pump it elsewhere or store it.

Popped eardrums is just 20% stress. This is negated completely by high morale, so just maintain high morale until your pressure goes down.

Stress is usually a non-issue in that I rarely notice anything above 0%. So during my popped eardrums fiasco, it got to the point of puking, overeating, and generally not working before it was noticed - which was early game being that it was caused by terrariums, which also means hard to maintain high morale. All this ultimately ran me out of food and no one calm enough to make more, or build the vents to stabilize the pressure.

For someone newish, its not as easy to resolve the issue if youre already at the point of seeing the issues.

Well, nowadays in addition to the info in the top left corner dupes will stamp and grunt and generally look very angry when they get close to breaking, making it easier to notice. Also freaking out nearby dupes.
