Introduction

In this episode, we will continue our tutorial series on a game called "Grind". The focus of this episode is on accomplishing a few tasks early on. We will start by draining the water in a specific area and then proceed to create a bio distiller. This bio distiller will allow us to convert slime into algae, which is essential for our mining operation. To power our machines and circuits, we will set up a coal generator instead of relying solely on manual generators. So, let's dive in and get started on these tasks!

Draining the Water

To begin, our first priority is to drain the water in a particular area. This will provide us with a suitable location for a bio distiller and ensure that any slime present has a proper place to go. We will place the coal generator near the CO2 scrubber, as it emits carbon dioxide. By connecting the coal generator to the circuit, we can efficiently power the machines in the area. Adding more batteries to the circuit will further enhance power efficiency, especially since the coal generator consumes coal rapidly.

Creating a Bio Distiller

Next, we will set up a bio distiller. This machine takes in slime as input and produces algae and polluted water as output. Since we already have a polluted water line running through the base, we will place the bio distiller close to it. Connecting the machine to the power supply is crucial. By doing so, any slime in the base that gives off polluted oxygen can be processed into algae, which is a valuable resource. To maintain the flow of polluted water, we may need to fix any broken liquid pipes along the way.

Setting up a Coal Generator

To ensure a steady power source, we will construct a coal generator. This generator provides a more sustainable way of generating power compared to manual generators. By placing it near the CO2 scrubber, we can utilize the carbon dioxide it emits. Connecting the coal generator to the circuit will enable us to power the machines effectively. However, since coal is consumed quickly, we may need to consider adding more batteries to the circuit to optimize power usage.

Reorganizing the Circuits

It is essential to structure our circuits efficiently to ensure smooth operation. Currently, we have two separate circuits—one for the massage tables, ducks, and power wheels, and the other for the musher, deoxidizer, air scrubber, and pump. The coal generator primarily powers these circuits, with a small contribution from a nearby power wheel. To improve functionality, we may need to rearrange the circuits or add more batteries if necessary.

Improving Ventilation

Proper ventilation is vital for maintaining a healthy living environment in our base. By reorganizing the floors and allowing CO2 to flow down through the base, we can enhance the performance of the air scrubber in removing CO2. Good ventilation also facilitates the movement of gases and ensures a better overall atmosphere. We may need to install additional air scrubbers in the future, depending on the base's size and the amount of CO2 it produces.

Building an Air Scrubber

To enhance air quality, we will install an air scrubber. This machine helps remove CO2 from the base, thereby improving the living conditions for our duplicates. By setting the priority of the air scrubber to a higher level, we can ensure that it functions effectively. While one air scrubber may be sufficient for now, we should consider adding more in the future, as the base expands in size.

Installing a Pump

Proper water management is crucial in maintaining a functional base. By installing a pump, we can control the flow of water and ensure it reaches the necessary areas efficiently. The pump should be connected to the power supply to operate effectively. Depending on the location and demand, we might add more pumps to distribute water evenly throughout the base.

Putting in a Shower

To address hygiene concerns, we will build showers for our duplicates. Griminess can cause stress for them, so providing a clean and accessible shower facility is essential. By routing clean water to the showers and connecting the polluted water output to the existing system, we can ensure a continuous flow of water for a refreshing showering experience. Showers only consume water when in use, making them efficient in terms of resource consumption.

Building a Lavatory

In addition to showers, we will construct a lavatory—a more advanced version of the outhouse. The lavatory requires clean water as input and performs a similar function to the outhouse. By leaving some space between the showers and lavatory, we can add decorative items such as paintings or statues to improve the area's aesthetics. Connecting the clean water input and the polluted water output ensures the proper functioning of the lavatory.

Conclusion

In this episode, we focused on essential tasks to improve the functionality and livability of our base in "Grind". By efficiently draining water, creating a bio distiller, setting up a coal generator, reorganizing circuits, improving ventilation, building an air scrubber, installing a pump, and implementing showers and a lavatory, we have made significant progress. These steps contribute to the overall efficiency and well-being of our duplicates.
