* Many gas vents erupt hot (up to 500 Celsius), so you'll want to surround the area with insulating tiles, have a way to cool the gas down and make the pumps that will be dealing with it out of more robust metals before digging the vent out. | * Many gas vents erupt hot (up to 500 Celsius), so you'll want to surround the area with insulating tiles, have a way to cool the gas down and make the pumps that will be dealing with it out of more robust metals before digging the vent out. | ||
* Gasses pass through airlock doors as your dupes pass through them. To avoid gas mixing in rooms you really want to be pure or to avoid caustic/germy gasses getting into your living areas, the easiest way is to make a small liquid-filled passage with no roof clearance above the liquid level in the middle. Basically, a little pool where your dupes need to completely submerge to go under a wall to get to the other side. These gas barrier pools are often called "liquid locks." | |||
* Water and saltwater are fine to use for your liquid locks in most situations (don't use polluted water, it emits polluted air), but keep in mind the environmental temperature - you need to use different liquids in areas above 100C or below 0C. | |||
* An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It can be a time consuming hassle to filter unwanted liquids from a pool or gasses from the air. It's far better to keep them from mixing to begin with. So, try to plan out where liquids will flow when digging and set up your liquid locks before breaching into areas with new gasses or polluted air. And have at least an oxygen mask checkpoint and liquid lock set up before entering a slimelung-infested area. You don't want your dupes getting infected and coughing out diseased air all over your base. | |||
* Duplicants won't queue up for sinks/washbasins. If it's already in use, they'll just walk on by. So, to keep your dupes from spreading food poisoning germs all over your base, you want your bathrooms to have only one exit and one sink/basin for every toilet/outhouse. | |||
* Stagger your dupes' shifts and you'll need fewer toilets, sinks, and such. | |||
* Compost piles are an early game trap. If your dupes compost the polluted dirt from your outhouses, the "purified" dirt produced will still be contaminated with food poisoning germs. Your farmers will blissfully use this diseased dirt to fertilize your food crops, contaminating them. To avoid getting your dupes sick, wait until you have a germ-killing chlorine gas room to disinfect your old outhouse waste before building a compost pile. | |||
* Conversely, it's fine to pipe your toilet waste water to irrigate Thimble Reeds in hydroponic farm tiles, and doing so can be a good way to both get rid of the germy polluted water and help get your first atmo suits made. | |||
