Even though Oxygen Not Included OIL UPGRADE is not yet live (just over a week to go), I just had to start a new base to try out all the new things. It's a bit of a slow start but I'm really enjoying the new room types like  Latrine, Barracks, Mess Hall & Med Bay. I hope they add a "farm" and "storage" room type and others.

In this episode I get the water geyser hooked up and pumping fresh water to the base. I hook up the electrolzyer at the top of the base to get oxygen going. This saves me from using algae going forward.

I also found a spot for my fertilizer setup and natural gas power plant but will save that for next episode. I was able to locate one natural gas geyser so far.

I also caught the dupes dreaming of weird jelly bean things.... do dupes dream of electric meep?

I'm keen to start refining oil but had to get the basic things set up first.
