    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.

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

      Ideally, there would be another floor beneath, to catch that water, with electric pumps. Well planned, it could even act as the waste water management system.

      But it makes sense to put the generators there. Radianting heat rises.

    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.

      If they can read the “No Girls Allowed” sign by the false door should suffice. If not the infirmary is fully prepared to admister the circle circle dot dot, now I got my cooties shot.

    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.

      I imagine if you ever have the money to do that it won’t be a no because you’ll be doing pretty good for yourself.

    I feel like you’d want the monitoring station not at the top level entrypoint where someone could break in then monitor your whole complex and the outside.

    Feels like that should be closer to the panic/shelter room.

    Also like someone else called out, you don’t want your generators on the bottom floor. If you do something like that, you should dig another level below that’s purely for drainage/runoff like a giant water reservoir. You can put a sump pump there to pump it all back up to the surface if you’d like, but you need some way to both collect and excrete water or drainage of some sort.

    I don’t see room for a water processing plant, so I think you’re dealing only with pre-treated stored water in this system. That’s the last thing that needs to be solved for. There needs to be some way to recover water if you want this to be a closed system.

    Radon gas emanation, lack of clean air and sunlight. Besides, concrete emits radioactive radiation.

    A wooden hut in the forest near a river is always a better option

      Radon is an issue only in certain areas, concrete radiation is bullshit, sun and clean air are an issue, but in your wooden hut you probably would breathe smoke from a fire so meh.

        Having a proper air filtration system should be a given here… Radon isn’t an issue.

        Honestly I’d have multiple entry/exit spots for air exchange so I’d always have access to surface air if one gets blocked for any reason, and they’d be sealable from the inside with systems to scrub the c02 for lengths of time if needed.

        Idk I’m already putting too much thought into a shitpost…

          Hey, dreaming about a personal bunker is free and does no harm to anybody!

          We can think about how to scrub CO2 and have a dedicated mushroom growing room and acquaponic setup all day, this is a lot better and saner than doomscrolling!

    What’s really depressing is that things like this will always be just a dream, meanwhile billionaires will never appreciate something like this or do it for the reasons we would.

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

    the first area has to be an expansive creepy liminal mall like area where an easily ignored kiosk hides the real entrance

      It’s beside the desk in the tax office they’d tucked between the food court with a sbarro and 2 Asian fusion restaurants and the movie theater with only two working screens.

      Not under the desk. Beside. Because even long after shit has hit the fan, nobody wants to go in one of those, and nobody would even notice it if you hung neon signs.
