It’s always funny to me when people are like “yah we’ll just grow food using hydroponics and grow lights powered by a diesel generator.”

Like, honey, you could store a decade of food in the volume of space needed to store enough fuel to run those grow lights through one harvest. Like, the conversion rate of fuel to electricity, to light, to biomass is … pathetically tiny.

Going to regret putting the generators at the bottom if there’s any sort of flooding. Ask Memorial Hospital in Louisiana.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Oxygen Not Included, it’s that the plants go at the bottom where all the CO2 settles, the laboratory goes over the generators since they’re not affected by temperature, and the barracks go at the top so that everyone can sleep in clean air. Rookie layout, this.

No elaborate systems of traps? How are you gonna keep all the girls out then?

I’ve been trying to convince the wife to let me purchase one of those decommissioned missile silos and fix it up, with a house at the top. Assuming we could ever afford it of course.

It’s still a no, but not as hard a no as years back when I first suggested it.

Hell yeah

To be fair, there is a saloon.

It’s a great idea, but reinforcing the walls for that will cost a fortune (to prevent the ground from collapsing into the basement)

What happens when you run out of fuel? Unless you plan on making the generators nuclear or something, I suppose you could still use renewables on the surface but then it definitely won’t be a war bunker, just ecological/climate disaster bunker. I have a feeling war will take us out faster than ecological/climate catastrophe at this point.
