Whenever I build automated sweeper facilities I try, if it's not a pain in the rear end, to build some kind of containment with a door then lock everyone out of the thing unless something breaks.

Still haven't come up with a way to do this for farming since dupes have to harvest the mature plant. Works good for most stuff though.

Unless things have changed recently, farm crops will automatically drop their harvest on the ground 3 cycles after maturing. However, the additional farm space and resource consumption is a pretty heavy tax for that convenience.

No, but they will melt any phosphorite you have nearby and turn it into liquid -> gaseous phosphorous.

Heat mechanics are confusing. Lower heat capacity is better for transferring heat right? And for gases and liquids lower mass is also better?

Specific heat capacity is about how fast the material's own temperature changes, whereas thermal conductivity is about how well it transfers heat.

I don't know what you mean by "lower mass is also better". Better for what? If you are trying to insulate stuff, then yes, lower gas density is better.

Here's some newbie hints on rolling dupes:

+7 Decorator starter is a godsend. Everyone else should probably be +1 or +3. +3 Research on one dupe preferable. Supplying as an interest is great even on +1/+1/+1 dupes.

Interior Decorator and Gourmet are downsides disguised as upsides.

Thermal conductivity is what moves heat from one side of a wall to the other. It is the "heat speed". Heat capacity is how much "hot" you have to put on one side to heat the tile up. It is the "heat inertia".

For insulating things, you really just need to build insulated tiles. Don't worry too much about what material they're built from, they all work pretty well. If you need to REALLY insulate something, then put a layer of normal tiles on the "hot" side of whatever you're insulating, and surround the inside with insulated tiles. Remember, "contain heat" could also mean "contain cold". Using this mechanic you can hold a tank of molten magma in the middle of your base with obsidian insulated tiles surrounded by sedimentary rock tiles for hundreds of cycles without issue. A single wheezewort will easily keep up with any heat leaking through this. The dual-tiles are because ONI internally applies "multipliers" based on what is interacting with what -- solid vs. gas moves heat differently than solid vs. solid, even if the masses are otherwise the same. Definitely don't let dug-out piles sit on your insulated tiles, that heat transfer is all kinds of broken.

But, just as often, you want to move the heat instead of contain it. This is the basis behind radiators, another prominent heat-management aspect. In that case what's most important is carrying a lot of thermal energy, so you want to move gasses/liquids/solids-on-conveyor-rails with the highest heat capacity that you can get, with a "suitably high" thermal conductivity. If your chilling room is 0C, and your coolant is leaving the room at 0C, you've "filled up" the coolant with chill. If this happens in the last 1-2 segments of pipe, that's perfect. If it happens in the first 1-2 segments of pipe, then you are wasting a lot of cooling capacity and need something with a higher specific heat.

The last kind of heat transfer would be on a conductive wall. I build these frequently, a room full of wheezeworts in hydrogen just awkwardly in the middle of the base. In this case you want a low specific heat material with a high thermal conductivity. You don't care what temperature the tiles are, you just want the cold from inside the wheezewort room into the environment. Use tiles of granite/obsidian very-early game, and ASAP move to refined metal. Lead can be mined as refined metal, but has pretty poor thermal conductivity (15 IIRC). Refined gold is the best early-game material with the granulator, with a thermal conductivity of 60 and lowest SHC. Steel is the best pre-space material at 54, unless you have access to aluminum (205!). Thermium is the best overall at 220 (!!).

According to the wiki the lowest value of the two objects exchanging heat is what's counted. So isn't high values kinda irrelevant unless you are making chains of stuff to transfer heat?

Nah, if you need to really insulate something (see also: volcano) have two layers of insulated tiles with a layer of vacuum in between.

With insulated things, yeah. Otherwise it's the average. There's still weird hidden multipliers too.

That's a lot harder to build than 2 layers of tile, albeit even more effective. Really though, 2 layers of tile, one insulated and one not, just ... won't ever leak heat in any meaningful way. An insulated gap won't leak heat ever, but this is a 0.001 vs. 0.000 situation.

The second benefit to pickled meal is that it is more calorie dense in terms of kcal/kg. So it takes less fridge space. Meal lice has poor calorie density.

I won't say this makes it a worthwhile option, but when I have made it was so it would take less space in the fridge. I haven't done that in a long time mind you.

90% of the time I don't plant meal lice, ever. It's absolutely worth a few cycles of sickness to charge into a cloud of polluted oxygen to get some mushroom spores as soon as you reveal them on the map. I almost always jump from initial survival supplies/muck root right to fried mushrooms. Maybe a few cycles of fried mush bars in between if I fall behind.

With this game out I guess I have to give it another shot! I've tried a handful of colonies throughout early access and usually fizzle out once poo poo hits the fan and I start losing control. I also generally have no idea how to work the more complex systems like air/water control through vents and pipes and whatnot but, uh, can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs (killing a whole lot of colonists) right?

Play on easy mode if you’re having trouble. It’s less that the game is hard and more that if you make a serious mistake, you’ll only find out fifteen cycles later when it’s almost too late to fix it.

Also what are good food options for mid game other than mushrooms? I don’t want to plant a giant shroom farm because I already did that. But I feel like there aren’t many other options. Bristle berries are pretty water intensive, waterweed requires salt water which is even worse, and sleet wheat is a pain in the rear end. Maybe hatch farming would be a good alternative,

Morale is less of a problem in the early game though, and certainly not so pressing an issue that a 70% boost in artwork creation speed would be better than any of the other skills I could get on a starting dupe.

Bristle berries are usually my next step after mushrooms, and typically where I stop. You can do end-game morale requirements on stuffed berries pretty easily. They do take a lot of water but eh, few geysers and you'll have plenty.

Oh absolutely.

That’s a complete waste of potential. A +7 researcher, a digger, and honestly, almost anything else is vastly more important than a creator. Those guys always turn up in the press at some point way before cycle 200, when I find morale starts to be a big deal.

If you’re a new player, pleas don’t be throwing one of your initial three guys away by selecting a +7 decorator. Research, a digger, and either another digger or an athletics guy. Those three dupes will give you such a quick early game. After which, you should be in a great position.
