Carnivore feels really tight right now. 15 cycles left, and I need to feed 10k kcal of bbq every cycle to get there. There's no easy way to tell if I'm generating that much bbq. Result: tension and micromanagement.
Super-sustainable is coming along nicely. We're about 80kj shy, so maybe 35-40 cycles left?
I will be *very* glad to put those two achievements behind me.
c85. As promised, baby's first metal refinery is up at the top. I originally was gonna use a loop, but I decided instead to run the ph2o through the refinery once, which will guarantee a temperature >0c, then go through a sieve to feed the quad hydra.
Directly below the o2 prod, we've blueprinted in a) the cooling line for the o2, whose outflow *also* sends water to feed the hydra, and b) the top of the drecko ranch.

c94 and we've got super-sustainable! Excellent. That achievement really slows you down, because your dupes have to spend so much time on the hamster wheels.
I will continue for now on the drecko ranch, but will also figure out where to put power. Oh, and put a damned smart battery on those hydrogen generators, too.
c98. Tadaaaaa! Carnivore.
Man that was cutting it really close.
In retrospect, I made two mistakes. 1) Shoulda gone ahead and loaded 4 stables instead of just 3. 2) Should have used many more incubators instead of dropping eggs in the evolution chamber.
Oh well, next time.
So that's locavore, carnivore, and super-sustainable all done, plus a handful of the gimmes.
Time to stop and review my situation.
Right. Let's take stock.
I've started the power grid: the coalgens are up, tho not auto-supplied. I'm running the main trunk down to the left of that, WIP. Below that we have a tamed cool slush geyser w/infinistore, but also some dead space we may want to use later.
Right of the ladder, a quad-hydra. Cuz I was using it for power not o2, there's 250kg of cool o2 inside it. A project would be to start using it.
Below that is the three-story drecko ranch WIP.
In the real base area, we've got 3 hatch ranches and a 5-breeder pair pacu farm, the food control area, as well as our research area. To the right, we have a really sloppy version of a starter base, with bathroom, great hall, cooking, and hospital
