what is the out take on the geo thermal for? it doesn't appear to need it to function. I have a couple set up now, but still have no idea what that flashing symbol is for.
@@JDPlays it turns out it's for a bi product anyway, so you don't need to hook it up. you can though set up an awesome power sector via geothermal as it creates it's own mud which can then be refined and turned into gas and power a gas plant. I'm going to try this out.
I don't recommend using the bio composters. You can quickly run out of plant biomass and then you won't have gas for your gas power plants. I'd just try to get fusion power as quick as possible until then use sludge pools for gas power or use geothermal, Wind or solar. Can't really recommend nuclear as well as you need uranium for a lot of other buildings and crafting so it's not the smartest to use it up for power generation given that there are tons of options that give you power "for free"
Agreed. The area neede for the lvl 3 setup will allow you to simply go for wind or solar and you'll lose 1/3 of the power roughly speaking. It's not worth the hassle.
I've seen guide online where they compared all the power options, their effectiveness, cost, space needed... And came to a conclusion that solar and wind are overpowered and beat everything else. Have you managed to come to any sorts of a conclusion like that? That one or two particular power options are above everything else?
From memory Solar and Wind are very very effective, but at the cost of space. And the more space your use the more you have to defend, which then costs more power for more defences. Hence they are the last methods I use for making power.
You can move some of the overhead to that wind tunnel map(Streganos nest?) Default wind efficency isn't that great over there but it gets regularily bumped to 250/500% by the weather change.
I'm on PS5 any for over a week my power grid does not work. I took down my whole bade 11 times and tried everything from gas to solar to wind to fusion power and nothing works. Even I hooked up a single light and five wind turbines during high wind storm and they literally didn't work. I uninstalled game, reinstalled it, rebuilt database even tried on another account. The game is 100% unplayable for me and I don't know why
mk mk so im new, This is very overwhemling to me lol. I just wants to know how to get power within the first 30 mins of the game because I lose it all at night.
Bro, I'll ask you because theres nothing on RUclips. That shows how to do one of the missions. I straight up have connectors and over 10 million power on the mission that only requires me to power up an alien core for 400k storage. So what the fuck am I doing wrong if nothing is connecting?
I tried to do the geothermal and gas powerplants and it doesn't work. I don't understand why, I copied yours and the gas powerplants just aren't doing anything 😒. The energy problem is really starting to piss me off it just doesn't make sense and it's stupid. It's just at the point where it's ruining the game for me 😮💨😑
Examples? Why paste buildings in the middle of nowhere and not show connections/application. I could have gotten everything you said from the ingame tooltips. It's what is not on a tooltip that needs to be addressed.
Definitely needed the gas power plants figured out, thanks a ton.
Glad I could help!
Great tutorial!
But they're not planets, they're biomes! The entire game takes place in the same planet!
The geothermal section at the end made the whole video worth it.
I just got back to the game, and i was using them for so little gain
Should I build base near green pool?
Say you're only consuming 50/100 mud produced by a lvl 1 geothermal powerplant. Does the powerplant still generate 200 energy per second?
Yeah it doesn't matter if you use any of the mud or not, it will always generate the full amount of power for it's level.

This was recorded in sandbox/dev mode so I dont HAVE to hook up any inputs or outputs for them to work

Good point!
Thanks for the reply! ♥️

Why do the biocomposters have infinite biomass?
Since the bio composters don't have an upgrade at least you can set them up early and just forget them, makes a good early setup like you said.
Whoop! Hope to see lots more videos on RB by JD!
Thank you, very useful 😊
Please make a video explaining how to use two growers and harvest station. Because I'm trying to use two, but one always runs out of water. Thanks
What about carbonium power plants?
Its Finite, and doesn't last long. Also as far as efficiently its really bad, highly recommend you skip them!
Can we make a new video after all the new updates and DLC pleaseeee!!!
I've been struggling trying to properly balance pumps/bio-gas things and such
man what a great tutorial
Thanks!
thank you
No problem glad it helped!
Thanks for this video. It is very useful. This game is a lot of fun but it doesn't do a great job of explaining some of the systems in it
😂😂 yes so true. I waited for the alien laboratory to work till i found out it needs water😂

energy storage for night time. solar panels + storage. or, wind...but you need a lot.
Does anyone play this anymore?
I've just started
@@markbutterfield6618 Same here, good game IMO
@@MC-jf6ic Have you tried hardcore yet?
I just started a new game...
New player here - love it!
thank you for this. its very usefull

New to the game and you've probably figured it out by now - just connect the energy grid to the alien core

Do you have biomass?
UNLIMITED POWER!!!
