  • Well sea Ice is turning out to be interesting, the hardest part is the waiting and hoping. We have committed to a strategy and now all we can do is dig in and hold out as long as possible. The question is did we pick the right strategy.

    • @DSlyde

      @@FrancisJohnYT the loss is that you can't feed the meals, as you discovered. So if you normally feed your dogs simple meals, the warg eats 1.2x the food by having to eat the raw meat.
      The massively improved combat stats are worth it though.

  • @michaelpapadopoulos6054
    @michaelpapadopoulos6054 ปีที่แล้ว +131

    Fun fact: you can extend how long a pawn can survive with a set amount of food by feeding them only when their food meter is close to zero. Whenever the food meter is below the notches, it goes down slower. Like 4 times slower when it is below both notches and the pawn is ravenously hungry. You don't want them to become malnourished because then their hunger rate goes up. By completely exhausting the food meter before you eat, your 0.9 nutrition that a single meal gives will be equivalent to 1.4 nutrition eaten when the pawn is fed.
    The most extreme and micromanagey version of this is having a food like insect jelly and letting your pawn eat portions of 2 units at a time right before starvation so that the pawn is constantly ravenously hungry. They can survive on 8 insect jelly per day in this way. Only downside is the mood debuffs and having to make sure that they dont start to starve.

      When I attempted this challenge I would stretch out my food by literally starving my pawn and only giving food when he became badly malnourished.
      I also set food policy to eat nothing and manually had him eat. I found that manageable.
      Excited for this series playthrough!

    • @pite9
      @pite9 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's cool, but there's no way to split stacks, so unless you have some mod, it's impossible to only feed them 2 foodstuffs at a time. Since it requires a mod to work, it's essentially cheating. There's a good reason why you have to eat entire meals. Either way, I doubt it's worth it, considering how much time is spent eating, interrupting your research and limiting your movement in general. Also, on Ice Sea, the only map where realistically starvation is a thing, you only have access to raw meat. I'm pretty sure that snacking like that makes food poisoning a lot more common.

    if you slap another door with a one tile gap from the first door it REALLY helps preserve the heat in the building, also tribalwear is better for ice sheet than pants/shirt

  • @ichifish
    @ichifish ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Oh, the drama in this one is high! Some ice sheet tips:
    You'll need to keep the training up on the warg. Thankfully Fatmanslim has a six in handling and you only need a five. It won't be good for mood, but having your new, no doubt temporary recruit butcher the corpses will extend your training meat supply (and give you something to trade, ewww). Butchering yields more nutrition than raw corpses.
    This is a little exploity, but instead of killing the new recruit straight off you have them settle a second colony to generate events (or you could do this with Fatman). The downside of sending the new recruit is that you'll have the "colonist left unburied" debuff until the body deteriorates.
    Two periods of rest will give ensure that the "well-rested" and "comfortable" mood buffs last all day. It will also ensure you have enough rest in case of a raid. Since you are just researching anyway you won't lose much productivity.
    Leaving meals outside is a good way to lure animals to your door so you don't have to traipse across the map to hunt them.
    If you can get 125 steel a nutrient paste dispenser would really extend your food supplies, but I'm not sure if you can take the mood penalty (and since cooking is a double passion, it's a good way to keep your mood up).
    Tribalwear has very good cold insulation. If you make it sooner rather than later you'll be able to sell your shirt and pants for a higher price.

    • @FrancisJohnYT
      @FrancisJohnYT  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Warg training started, being able to use the attack function will help.
      Not going to do extra colonies, I want to run it as sort of a bottle base where we have to survive on what floats by.
      Split sleep schedule sounds like a good idea I'm going to start doing that.
      As for clothing I'm holding out for a parka, someone will attack us or join us while wearing one. If it gets desperate, as it to cold I will use resources on tribal wear.

      The issue is with the warg that it will absolutely destroy the inside of your base. They aren't like dogs and will track mud everywhere and you will be left cleaning up after them constantly. Not to mention every time they decide to enter the door and go back out they are letting heat out. So they would have to be zoned in to a small area indoors next to food. Which makes eating frozen human corpses a hurdle.

    Do you know the RandomPlus mod? You can set the minimum requirements (e.g. 6 in construction) and then it just randomizes until it finds someone that fills this requirement. I like this mod because it only does the randomizing for you. If I'm randomizing too often I tend to click past the pawn I was looking for, so that mod really helps. And this mod doesn't generate pawns or anything, so if you set your requirements too high, it just won't find anyone.

    If you're willing to "waste" 1 steel, you may invest on a 1 tile of "conduit switch", an isolated power conduit, you reconnect something to it to quickly turn it off, you can bulk connect and disconnect power consuming "stuff" from the grid, it removes the need for your pawn to manually switch, I usually build it under chairs or other non powered buildings

    Ah, borderline starving pawns until their food meter is down to 10%. I've been there. On the Ice this reminds me so much of Frostpunk.
    While your new hut is more material/space efficient with its 39 tiles only slightly smaller than your 7x7 room, it should be less efficient heat wise. According to the wiki "temperature equalization with the outside is proportional the length of the perimeter of the room in question" and now your longest length is 8. Not relevant with current outside temperature, but that might change once "summer" is over and a thing to keep in mind should you ever play on a colder planet.
    And remember, you can take advantage of wild animals going for your meals outside to lure them to your hut. That way you don't have to walk across the map for a single hare.
    Oh and put things of value inside before the raid, otherwise they might just decide to steal stuff ruining your plan

    On my own time on the ice I found you can control exactly what the wildlife will do just by moving a meal inside/outside. If there is no food on the map animals will leave, but you can drive every hare on the map right to your warg with a meal outside.
    Make a silver freezer box and hold the door open when you want to attract the caribou, or close it off and they’ll all leave. Can be useful to juggle the polar bears between hunting you and going for the easy meal.

    1) The cheapest possible freezer would be to add a wall to the "inside" of a corner, and replace the outside corner with a door. Alternatively, add a wall and door to one of the outside diagonals. Hold the freezer door open (unless not trying to lure wild animals) to keep the freezer cold. This would be, of course, a massive investment, so you may be better off investing in a battery instead.
    X = floor, D = Door, O = Wall

    You could make the freezer bigger, a 5 tile + shape, by spending 2 more walls.

    If mood is super important you should consider moving your pawns over to a biphasic sleep schedule. It makes sure they always have their mood boosts when their sleep is split up into two sections.
    One downside is that if your pawns are working a long way away from their bed it will cut into productivity each time they make a trip back and forth. But this is a barren flat field of ice. You are only away from the bed if you are shooting something. You can afford the half second it takes and you lose no productivity.

    Not sure if it was patched but last time i checked there was a cheeky way to kill thrumbo by attacking when it leaves, the logic telling them to gtfo overrides the manhunter logic, so you're free to shoot them down as they slowly waddle away.

    You can forbid your pawns from eating raw meat eggs etc in food policy. You also can temporary switch him to "none" policy which forbids him from eating anything rather than forbidding all of the available food Items manually. It takes only a few seconds to change might be helpful. Also this way you can't miss some pice of food unforbidden.

    • @FrancisJohnYT
      @FrancisJohnYT  ปีที่แล้ว

      The problem is power, a sun lamp requires 2900 watts. To keep it running consistently you need two wind turbines and two batteries.
      That is 440 steel for 2 wind turbines, 2 batteries and 1 hydroponics. That leaves us 10 steel so you can't even build a research bench.
      You could grow nutri fungus as that only requires darkness but then you can't afford a smelter.
      I don't know what method is better yet, but I see a big problem going with anything that is not smelter. You then 100% need a bulk goods trader to show up, that's it, nothing else can bring you steel that I can think of. Right now I can see us scrounging enough steel from weapons or scrap to go comms console given enough time that ensures we can summon a bulk goods caravan if we play our cards right. I like the thought of not being reliant on chance.

    I just started my first ice sheet run yesterday, what a coincidence! By the way, I've found that you can fight single thrumbos safely with one pawn by kiting them to a wooden door and repairing it as they bash it. They dont aggro long enough to break the door and when they wander off you can poke your head out and take more shots.

    You can totally 1v1 a thrumbo in this scenario without an animal. Hit it once close to your base, run inside, repair the door. If you start repair imidiately, the thrumbo will stop attacking the door before it breaks - even with a wooden door. Once it moves far enough away form your door you can repeat it, till it will bleed out.
    If you aggro 2 thrumbos your dead though.

    I have done a vanilla ice sheet on ocean tile before, its tough.
    I find its just over the top to do once you have done it.
    I had my own idea for an ice sheet after that.
    no cannibals (makes it too easy)
    I had a mod that added permanent cold snap on top of another, with coldest planet settings. ( a third stacking cold snap could happen temporarily)
    (I got -45 C to -120 C temps ranges) depending on season, location to pole, and events average -90 C
    I did a pt buy ( for you skills with prepare carefully) limits to what your pawn can have passion in (4 minor 2 major),
    Construction was set at a base of 6 all other skills base of 2 (back ground could change this to higher)
    ( i did 16 pts as my spend with a max of 8 in any skill)
    YOU MUST Keep your starting animal alive for at least the first 5 years or its game over.
    ( tho i got to pick what animal with limits to size, just dont pick heavy eaters fyi)
    (Artic wolf or something that could handle cold or some modded alpha animals if i got animal handling skills)
    I had several rules for creation and starting items but all of it was designed so that it was not making it improbable just barely acceptable for some things. like more steel at start not much but a little.
    I have not put all the exact rules here down but, following this I had more enjoyment of this type of run each time i did it after that first vanilla.
    Then again I use mods a lot now that I would not like to remove even for a challenge cause they help me enjoy the game.
    Tho fishing made ice sheet much easier later on mid to late game.
    Still tho due to mech clusters now, I prefer Ice sheets on rocky tiles for mountain bases still. If i did a run like this. I already achieved a ocean ice sheet run, id rather watch you then do another myself XD.

    • @FrancisJohnYT

      So far it has been easier than I expected, don't get me wrong the first guy died. But I think it's a hold out and wait game, stretch your food supplies and scrap everything for steel. Once we hit hydroponics we get access to fibrcorn which is basically wood you can grow in hydroponics, this was only introduced in ideology. That is a growable building material meaning we can save all our steel for industry.
