Been a few years since I picked this up. Haven't messed around with the cyborgs but the oxygen masks and stuff make the Swamp biome way less gay.
I am realizing how much of the stuff you can build is just totally unnecessary traps now. I kinda approach these games as build whatever and figure it out. But you can have dupes survive on the worm wood stuff for a long ass time before you need a better food source.

Been playing off and on for this past month or so. I think its good but not sure how in depth I'll go on automation section. Have some ranches on auto feed then extra eggs to to drown when they hatch for meat.
I am just starting to see some temperature issues. Made a cooling tank with snow that I run pipes to my farm to cool it of. Trying to work out the aquatuner and think that is a good bandaid until I get some geysers able to produce something.
How often do people rebuild their base so to speak? Factorio was pretty fun on that regard but here I feel i am just moving stuff and not getting more efficient.
Just started glossy gekko ranching so will move to plastic stuff next and see where that goes.
Im in the 1st training asteroid or whatever. Assuming when I go beyond there will be better uses to creative builds etc.
For me, not as addictive as factorio but scratches a good itch.

I've never really done large scale base rebuilding. Replacing rooms happens for sure when you stop needing early game products like mealwood for example. Later game l tend to replace all barracks with private bedrooms which requires reorganising walls.
Sometimes you need to move things like in my current game for example I have two volcanos near my printing pod and I built rooms really close to them which I later had to remove to fit in the volcano tamers.
But if you look at a cycle 20 and current cycle 1200 screenshot of my Aquatic planet base they would be obviously the same base with most walls etc still in the same places.
Later asteroids will give you resources for making advanced materials, especially super coolant which is a game changer.
They tend to be harder to build sustainable bases on as they are lacking certain resources and have difficult emperatures for growing food.

An aquatuner cooling loop is not a bandaid, it's a permanent solution to base temperature control.
You run a loop of radiant pipes filled with your coolant (water is fine, polluted water is slightly better) around the perimeter of your base with a temperature controlled bypass so that the water skips the tuner if it's already cold enough. The aquatuner room is filled with steam so that steam turbines can delete the heat and dump the water back into the room to keep cooling the aquatuner. I may be forgetting some details but it's been ages since I played. If memory serves you can use gold amalgam instead of waiting for steel.
