I Built a Death Room for My Spare Critters | Oxygen Not Included: Aquatic Planet DLC

Episode 21 of Oxygen Not Included: Aquatic Planet DLC, and I have a critter problem — 11 aquatic critters in a stable rated for 8, so I did the logical thing and built them an evolution chamber. Which is a death room. There is sense to this madness, I promise. Managing a flooded colony means juggling more problems than you can solve at once. This episode starts with a critter overflow in my aquatic ranching stable — too many Orholes and Kelpoles, not enough space — and my solution is a slaughterhouse I openly call an evolution chamber. I set up conveyor rails, auto-sweepers, and a Fish Release to funnel the surplus. My duplicants swim through the corridors to help set it up, getting stuck in doors along the way. On the Radbolt side, I am wiring up Radbolt generators around the Shine Bug ranching area. Shine Bugs produce radiation; the generators absorb it and produce power. Simple in theory. At some point I notice the radiation spreading through chunks of the base that maybe should not be radioactive. Not entirely by accident — the Radbolts need to travel — but my duplicants are mostly wearing rubber boots, so we are probably fine. There is also a Critter Sensor going in to count eggs and drive the incubator automation, mesh tiles to fix a pathing problem, and a Shine Bug incubator that I spend the last stretch of the episode building. By the time I hit 40 minutes and call it a session, the incubator is built but the mechanism that feeds it eggs does not quite work the way I imagined. That is a problem for Episode 22, along with a liquid pump I placed specifically so I would not forget. 🐟 📚 Watch from Episode 1:    • This Flooded Planet Breaks Every Rule I Kn...   (Click any video — the rest plays automatically) ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 12:51 - Too Many Critters, Not Enough Room 23:08 - Spreading Radiation on Purpose 37:44 - Shine Bug Incubator Attempt 39:46 - 40 Minutes In, Still Not Done 🎮 New episode every day. #OxygenNotIncludedAquaticPlanetDLC #ColonySim #SurvivalGame [STRAT: V6]
