I think there may be a mistake, cool salt slush geyser produces brine, and waterweeds only accept salt water so the only sustainable sources of it is the salt water geyser or space poi.

Quality video as always! The Quiche has led me to discover the mechanics of omelets being able to be cooked without dupe intervention by raising raw egg temperature above 72C. I'd love to see your approach to a machine that automates omelet production. I tried it with Pacu since they yield the most raw egg, and had partial success due to my own inexperience. I wish more foods could be cooked that way, it was a pretty fun and unique system to try and set up.

Wild waterweed has the highest production of calories (100 cal per cycle) among all wild plants, and its growing condition is relatively easy to maintain, therefore it is the best option of wild food farm.

Maybe a Tutorial bite on the different type of rad plant variants? I know each variant does roughly the same thing to every plant. But which are best for each plant per domestic and normal grown.
Think Exurbent is the best, but not sure.

Been waiting for this tutorial. Great as always!

Awesome tutorial series, binge watching it and already learned so much to easily sustain my mid game.

How did you plant waterweeds all like that? According to Pip planting there are 3 spaces between each row.

Is the calculation correct? Both the Burger and the mushroom quiche require 400 kcal of lettuce per kg. But 1 kg of quiche is worth 6400 kcal, and 1 kg of burger is 6000 kcal. So you should need less lettuce plants if you're making quiche compared to burgers.

for beginners just usr berry sludge it has infinite spoil time and is +3 of a food which is good for any time so dont just give so much skill on dupes

[Lorens]

I'm not sure about enough practical use for them to farm on a big scale. 3-4 domesticated water weeds is all you need for 10 dupes, so hydroponic tiles is an overkill, considering that you need to cool down salt water from SWG. Wild farming is tough to control, and the spoil time of lettuce is 4 cycles, so it's a waste of time and space.

I usually make 4 aggro tiles for water weeds and let my dupes bring salt water and chlorine stone from their biome, plus I harvest the wild ones there.

Lettuce -> Sage Hatch -> Coal. Just sayin'. ;)
