Ok, but some critures living in more extreme enviroment would be freeking peak. Just imagine making system to keep rock gas or liquid metals stable

[u/Rajion → u/PanPies_]

Agreed. We have molten slicksters, similar high temp versions would be cool. A natural critter for super conductive and frozen would be interesting.

[u/The_Punnier_Guy → u/Rajion]

Im thinking about morphs of pokeshells that live in the magma biome and the superconductive biome. The magma one would shed obsidian and igneous rock while the superconductive one sheds abyssalite and tungsten.

Im not sure what they would eat. Maybe lime or refined carbon?

[u/Beneficial-Flower-82 → u/The_Punnier_Guy]

A pokeshell that eats lime? To me, that sounds like getting a turtle that only eats 100-dollar bills. Even 600+ hours in, I never have enough. And feeding it to pokeshells to get, like, abyssalite... I guess people like challenges. ;)

[u/Y2KNW → u/Rajion]

Some kinda supercold plug slug variant that eats sour gas and farts hydrogen & sulfur?

[u/DecentChanceOfLousy → u/Rajion]

Slicksters that turn carbon dioxide directly into natural gas (25% mass) seems interesting, or maybe sour gas into methane (with 50% efficiency). It would be less efficient than a sour gas boiler with molten slicksters (33.3% mass, and another 16.6% as sulfur), but obviously would be much easier to set up.

But the gimmick would have to be something like "they are born at ~550 K and can't drop below 530k (petroleum boiling temp) without dying", so that you need to get the CO2 to petroleum boiling temps before feeding it to them (with very little buffer).

[u/FurryYokel → u/PanPies_]

Fish that swim in Liquid Metal would be wild.

[u/Weird-Drummer-2439 → u/FurryYokel]

Lava eel?

[u/gbroon]

Ah bismuth, a metal well known for its real life heat resistant properties a bit like lead.

[u/ChaosDoggo]

Bismuth Puft is honestly amazing.

[u/Obi_Vayne_Kenobi]

The German language joke is appreciated.

And a renewable source of Abyssalite would rock!

[u/MaraBlaster]

The german joke is even better ("Puff" = "brothel" in german)

[u/UWan2fight]

I'm imagining a little one tile high vacuum liquid lock with normal liquids on the one side and a blob of like, molten steel on the other isolating the bismuth pufts from the single puft prince, and it's kind of hilarious how ridiculous that is.

[u/Carolina-Roots]

I do like the idea of a puft that can make oxylite

[u/SawinBunda → u/Carolina-Roots]

Well, that one exists, the Dense Puft: https://oxygennotincluded.wiki.gg/wiki/Puft#Dense_Puft

[u/mommed1141 → u/SawinBunda]

I forgot they called dense puft

[u/mommed1141 → u/Carolina-Roots]

It's a real thing if you didint know

I posted it cuz they changed the name of the oxylite puft

[u/catwhowalksbyhimself → u/Carolina-Roots]

People have already confirmed those are real. They are also a great way to make oxylite, once you have good oxygen production handled. Not any harder to set up than the other two types, and actually easier, since you don't have to worry about maintaining a non-breathable environment. The pen can just be in your base, open.

[u/Y2KNW]

I hope the fandom version of the wiki sticks around because there are things there that, while utterly looney, could make for interesting ideas in the future.

[u/MonkeyPanls]

Nyanyanyan

[u/dragonlord7012]

Add puffs that eat sour gas, and i'm in.

[u/Effective-Log-1922]

I think I would kill it just to put it out of its misery.

[u/Carolina-Roots]

WHAT. I have never ranched puffs because… like… why would I? But if they can make me oxylite, I’m very interested.

I tried a low-tech playthrough with smooth hatches etc to rely mostly on husbandry. This would be an excellent addition.

[u/catwhowalksbyhimself → u/Carolina-Roots]

The oxylite puff is indeed real. You have to start with the regular ones and wait for the Dense Puft eggs to be laid.

All three of them are actually quite helpful, to varying degree. Slime and oxygen generation are both useful.

But yeah, they are seriously useful for oxygen production and far better than the power-hungry machine that requires gold. Since they litearally eat oxygen, they are simple to feed and can just be put in your base.

Just put a layer of water on the grown so the oxylite doesn't start evaporating again and the dupes can just collect it.

[u/Y2KNW → u/catwhowalksbyhimself]

Or pressurize the room above oxylite's sublimation pressure. I always found that easier.

[u/catwhowalksbyhimself → u/Y2KNW]

Also an option, but I like using water. Either way works.

[u/Carolina-Roots → u/catwhowalksbyhimself]

I use water for storage, I feel like that’s easier? Probably just habit.

[u/caramel_dog]

TIL some people dont know dense pufts exist

well with how complex puft ranching is im not that surprised
