[0:01]Hey gamers, it's Grine this game here with a quick overview of the Aquatic Planet Pack for Oxygen Not Included, which comes out Thursday, June 11th.

[0:11]It might be out by the time you watch this video. I just want to, I got my base here that's almost at cycle 600 and I've kind of played with all the things, so I wanted to do an overview of all the new things. So, to start out,

[0:24]There's a new way to make oxygen, and that is with these flu coral here. There's wild ones and producing 37.5 grams per second of oxygen.

[0:35]They need light, and there's a new light called uh, the glass jelly ceiling light. You might be able to do it with the other light as well, but I haven't tried it yet. They kind of changed this recently.

[0:46]This new light can do, um, it does it gives out more light and it cost 30 watts.

[0:54]Um, and if you domesticate it and you feed it uh, salt water, you get 150 grams per second. So that's enough for about a dupe and a half.

[1:04]This flu coral, you can get the details in the info here. It likes to drink salt water, 20 kilograms per cycle.

[1:12]And there is a lot of salt water on the map. It also has to be immersed in water. The new, there is new salt water has this weird, well not weird, this cool treatment with the little crystals in it.

[1:23]So that's the new way of making oxygen. You can probably get away with not making a s-bomb, a self-powered oxygen maker. I didn't make any and I had too much oxygen.

[1:31]Because there's so many of these corals out here. I've tapped all of them. They're all over the map. Let's zoom out here. You can see just in here. There's I left most of them wild.

[1:43]So don't dig them all up because they produce oxygen essentially for free. You just have to put them in water and get them light and they'll produce 37.5. So with about three of those, a little less than three of these you can give enough oxygen for a dupe.

[1:59]Okay, so that's that. There's a new tree called the gum palm. You'll want to grow these early on. The, I only, I only started with one. Some people were lucky and got two or three, but I only started with one, so it was really slow going to start.

[2:12]Um, you have to put them in these planters if you domesticate them. Uh, let's just take a look at them here.

[2:22]They require, um, sulfur to be fed to them and they make gum wood. And gum wood is pretty critical because gum wood.

[2:30]Oh, before I talk about that. These planters, they require, if I go to copy it here, you can see it requires glassy and initially I needed to, I only had pearls.

[2:46]And to get the pearls growing you need to have glass, like it's a bit of a catch 22. You need some pearls to make the first one to start domesticating them.

[2:56]But if you can find some diamond on the map, which I did, uh, there's, there was some diamond up near the top. Uh, you can use that as your glassy material as well and then start ramping these up.

[3:07]Now, the gum wood, you mash it in the plant pulverizer to make latex, which is a liquid.

[3:17]And then once you mash it up, latex can be used in a new building called the vulcanizer, which makes rubber. And rubber's pretty important. It's used in a lot of things now. Let's look it up here and I can show you.

[3:31]Actually, rubber is used in. They're making of some new clothing, the swimwear, which protects you from, um, watery things and the rubber boots, which also protects you.

[3:45]But more critically, it makes rubber gaskets. And rubber gaskets are used in many things here. Let's uh, usually it shows all the different buildings it needs, but let's see here rubber. Maybe it's just gasket I have to look up.

[4:01]Gasket. Oh, yeah, here we go. You can make gaskets out of rubber or plastic, but most people don't have plastic early on. So you'll be starting with rubber gaskets.

[4:10]And that's using all these different machines. Some of these are, I think most of these are older, but like the steam turbine for instance, before it needed plastic, but now it needs a gasket. So there's that.

[4:25]And then one other major new addition is are the, these things here. Where are they? Uh, let's scroll over.

[4:35]If I can find one. Um, these things, tidal turbines. These do create 300 watts, not consistently.

[4:42]I mean it's consistent but not permanently on. What they do is they suck in water like this. It's doing that right now.

[4:50]And then it'll squirt out all the water and generate power when it's squirting out water. So you can connect these with, um, just kind of regular wire.

[5:00]Three of them back into a transformer kind of backwards and put it on your backbone if you're going to do it that way.

[5:07]So there's a lot of them on the map. So they can generate a lot of power, especially if you put them all on batteries and we just and and connect them to a backbone with a big battery bank.

[5:21]So what else do we have? We've got pearls. Pearls, uh, they grow kind of naturally or you can domesticate them.

[5:30]Sorry, clam. There's clams that make pearls. Let's see here. Clampm. You can see here.

[5:38]Uh, naturally or domesticate it takes eight cycles, needs to be between 25 and 45. And they take 35 kg of sand per cycle or per, yeah, per cycle.

[5:49]That's quite a bit of sand, but the map has a lot of sand on it. And then pearls early on you're going to be use them, like I said, for lots of different buildings for that glassy, uh, effect or whatever.

[6:03]Okay, so critters. There are a lot of new critters. There are, let's start with the bloaters. These little guys.

[6:14]Bloaters, uh, they produce a little bit of oxygen. Let's see here. They produce a thousand food, but they also produce 15 kg per cycle of oxygen if you keep them fed.

[6:26]And they eat lettuce or water weed. So I've just been feeding them water weed here. Now, I haven't seen this, but if a duplican is swimming through the water, and they're out of breath, a bloater can will come and save their life and blow into the basically give them a little kiss.

[6:41]I want to see it. I haven't seen it yet, but, um, it's pretty cool. Okay. I'm going to go through all the critters first and then some of the other buildings. So the or hall. That's in a new little biome here.

[6:56]Uh, we've got or halls. These guys can be sheared for iron ore. They also make shell fish for food and they eat, uh, kelp pole. Kelp pole is like this.

[7:09]comes from tower kelp. You might see some fishing, uh, like swimming around. So they're kind of, these little things come off the tower kelp. It's kind of interesting.

[7:22]I'll quickly show you tower kelp here. It requires, um, polluted water, polluted dirt, and it makes kelp poles.

[7:35]This is also where you get nori. So kelp poles themselves make nori, which are used in some recipes. I'll go through all the food later on.

[7:44]What else do we have here? We have sea quins, which are like little sea horses. I domesticated some down here. They're very crowded. Here they are.

[7:56]Um, I'll kind of go through what their thing is. They live 100 cycles. They like to eat pearl and they can be milked in the aquatic milking station, which is a new building.

[8:08]And they are milked for ovaline. And ovaline is used in the production of, uh, mucin. Well, the byproducts are mucin and carbon dioxide, but for making caviar, which is like table salt.

[8:24]It's like an addition to their food that just put a sprinkle of caviar on any food and it improves the meal. And that's made in a new, I don't know if this building is new. The gleaner.

[8:33]The gleaner is how you process that. I'm just going to take a quick look at caviar here. What do you get? You get a, uh, improves the quality of the food, I guess.

[8:45]You milk them on this new aquatic milking station. And then I'm sending that ovaline into a tank, processing it in the gleaner, and then everything is backed up here because I've been letting this game run for a while here.

[9:02]And I forgot to say, what do these guys eat? They, oh, yeah, they eat pearls. Okay, so that's the sea quin. And then there's the beacon.

[9:10]The beacon, I have somewhere here. I think I have some up here actually. These are beacon fish. When they're happy, they give off light.

[9:19]Unfortunately, these ones are crowded. Let's try to find some, here's, here's a happy one. So they give off natural light, and it's enough light to, um, make the coral give off oxygen. So that's a natural way to do it without a lamp.

[9:35]But if they swim away, then you, you lose some of the light. Let's just see what these guys are all about. They require phosphorite or they can eat star nickels. These are star nickels here.

[9:52]Growing naturally or you can domesticate them. And they make lime, which is pretty critical. Let's save that here. The star nickels themselves, they require this, uh, coquina. 20 kg per cycle.

[10:10]And coquina is this black looking stuff here. It's a new mineral. These are both new minerals, coralium, coquina. As far as I can tell, there's no renewable source of this stuff.

[10:24]But I have a lot of it on my map. Let's see. Coquina. I have 748 tons of it. So you probably won't run out unless you go like really, really late into the game and you feed a lot of these things.

[10:39]What other? We've got kelp poles, talked about them. The slow go. Slow goes are like snails here. Slow goes, um, they make these shells. Oh, those are eggs.

[10:49]But they cast off shells as well. Let's see. They're kind of interesting to farm because they, okay, I'll, they give 800 calories. They eat salt and they make dirt.

[11:01]And they also excrete mucin. And they, when they're happy, they molt these shells, which can be turned into lime, crushed them for lime. And there's a morph of them as well. They don't have art yet, but by the time you play it, they will have art.

[11:14]And these guys are kind of interesting. You feed them sulfur and they make obsidian, and their shells can be crushed for gold. You can get gold amalgam out of them.

[11:26]So that's a new way to renewably get gold amalgam. Now, like I said, these guys, if they're, if you, if you take up all their mucin, they, they dry out and they die.

[11:38]So you need to leave a little bit of room for them. And if the dupes step in this stuff, they get a debuff, but if you, if they're wearing rubber boots, then they're fine. They don't slip and fall.

[11:51]So that's pretty interesting. Uh, so you got to, you got to have some drainage. This is my main tank here. So I'm draining some and putting in tanks. But I also have all my buildings under mush tiles so that the mucin can fall through.

[12:06]So that they don't go into water. Otherwise, the mucin piles up and it can make these buildings go underwater. So they're cute little creatures for sure.

[12:20]We've got the glou squid, which you won't encounter until later on because it's at the very bottom of the map here in the new Abyss biome.

[12:28]These guys are pretty cool. They make a unique type of food here. They make, uh, well, they eat tublia, and they excrete abyssalite. So this is a renewable abyssalite. And you can milk them for squid ink.

[12:42]And they also produce calamari, which is a really high calorie food. The squid ink doesn't really seem to have that many useful purposes from what I can tell.

[12:54]Uh, it says it has radiation absorption properties, but I haven't really found a use for it yet. What is going on here? Something is bubbling there. I think there's some, anyway.

[13:06]Like I said, they use, they eat tublia. You'll find lots of wild tublia across the map. I got some over here. There's a bigger abyssal biome over here. Uh, this stuff.

[13:20]So there's a, an easy way, once you crack into this biome, there's going to be lots of plastic sitting around because these guys are naturally growing out without any kind of, you don't have to feed them anything.

[13:29]If you don't domesticate them. If you do domesticate them, tublia requires sulfur and brine. And they also have to be in this.

[13:42]In some kind of water and they like it to be above 50 degrees and below 110. So a good way to get plastic early on in the game once you, well not early, mid game. Mid game once you have your suits and you can go into this warmer biome.

[13:59]What other animals do we have? We have the pin pockets, which are also down here. These guys right here, pin pocket. They're kind of interesting. You can.

[14:10]You can get two different products from them. You can crush, crush them into diamond or you can turn them into uni and eat them. And I'll go into the food, all the food in a second here, but uni are really good calorie source and moral source as well.

[14:30]Uh, there's a few other things like this new ball bloom, which is just a light plant. And there's, um, I mentioned the star nickels. There's a pet a poof. I don't know if I can find one of those.

[14:44]Uh, they're probably up here somewhere. This is a decorative plant they added. Uh, do I have any kicking around? Here's one right here. Pet a poof. So I think that's most of the critters.

[15:00]The other thing you'll notice just not a critter, but uh, the backgrounds. So these they've got these parallax looking backgrounds now.

[15:05]They're really cool. This is the starting printer. It looks really neat. And then also there's a different, a few different kinds of them. Zoom out and see if we can see. Yeah, there's this one here, this kind of multi-color one in the background.

[15:21]And what else? I think there's, I think there's another one down here somewhere. Anyway, they're, um, they're also background. This is new. See there's salt kind of in the background here.

[15:34]This is actually minable now. So if you check natural black wall, you can get the dupes to mine the, mine that out and exposes kind of the back whatever the natural back wall is.

[15:47]So this is kind of like dry wall essentially. Like you can put dry wall on the back wall, like I have, you can put like here, but I also have dry wall like in the bathroom here, some watermelon decoration.

[16:05]That means there's a lot of hidden resources, somewhat hidden in these background tiles. Like this is all resources here just sitting in the background. So there's more ore on the map because there's a lot of background tiles.

[16:20]Okay, and also there's a new, uh, geyser in the Abyss biome. These things, they're called thermal gas fishers.

[16:32]And they give off natural gas, but they get blocked up by sulfur. So you can see this one's producing here. But you can see sulfur build up 17%, 18%. It'll slowly go up to 100%.

[16:47]Once it's plugged, it won't produce natural gas anymore. 80 grams per second. And that means you'll need to build a drill on top.

[16:55]There's a new building called the marine, what is it? Marine drill. Requires a gasket and some refined metal. That goes on top. And then the marine drill itself requires quite a bit of power, but they're not running non-stop. They're just running occasionally.

[17:12]And that'll unplug the hole and also produce sulfur. So this is a renewable sulfur source for this new kind of map, this new DLC.

[17:25]What else do we have here? Um, I'll quickly just show you the boots. We've got the boots, rubber boots. Prevents soggy feet and slippery floors.

[17:37]Soggy feet is just from walking in water, but slippery floors is the new if they, if they step in the slug mucin. And then we've got the wet suit. What's it called? Uh, rubber, the wet suit is called.

[17:55]Let's see here. This thing, swimwear. Prevents soggy feet and sopping wet effect. So once you got your dupes in swimwear, they'll be able to swim in the water without any problems. And they can swim really fast.

[18:07]Let's try to find a dupe here to go in the water. We'll get them to come over here and dig this tile here. I'll make a priority nine so that you can see them. Oh, that's some water weed actually. I don't want to, let's get them to go right here.

[18:25]Priority nine. I think there's water weed there as well. Anyway, we're going to speed the game up so they can come and dig that.

[18:32]See, there they are, swimming. Look at them. Very entertaining. They're holding their breath. And there's a new related skill, two skills. So under skills, we've got this new basic swimming.

[18:45]It's plus 100 to maximum breath and some resistance to, uh, eye irritation chilly surrounding. And then there's dive master, reduces stamina consumption when swimming and increases the swimming speed. So, I think I've given most of my dupes, uh, the swimming skill.

[19:10]Pretty neat. Okay, so the food. There's a lot of new food. Let's quickly, there's a new food building, the sushi bar. And inside you can make edamame, um, sushi rolls. I'm just going to, you can pause and check out the ingredients. Nigiri, uni.

[19:31]And now you can see uni here has 7200 calories and morale plus eight. So this is great food. So if you domesticate your pin pockets you can be eating like a king.

[19:42]There's also a mini fridge. I don't have one built but there's under food, there's the mini fridge here. That uses, uh, how much power does that use? 60 watts.

[19:54]I'm not sure how much it it holds but it requires a rubber gasket. I guess we'll build one here to see. Holds 50 kg. Compared to the main fridge that we've always had, uh, 100 kg. So a nice little starting fridge.

[20:13]Uh, other food we have is so can. This is kind of like the meal wood of this DLC. You probably won't, it's not very good, but it takes salt to grow. I've been domesticating here. I guess my dupes have been eating it for 600 cycles, but it's not the greatest food, but it's, it's decent. I ended up switching over to many other types of food like fish and bristle blossoms. I got on the printer, so I use those.

[20:41]Uh, what else do we have? Caviar, I mentioned. It's like a little addition to their meal. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, there's a new communal, uh, dining table.

[20:54]Which, uh, like you can see, it holds three and it gives a little mood boost here. Meal dining plus one. And caviar is plus three morale, minus stress. I'm loving this DLC. It's pretty awesome.

[21:13]There are two new duplican. One is Kai and the other one is part of a like a mystery story line, which I won't spoil. But their name is, uh, let's see here. Their name is Minnow.

[21:29]So there's a little quest line with Minnow you can perform. But like I said, I'm not going to spoil it. Also, if the dupes happen to expire, like let's say they run out of oxygen. They don't instantly die now. They can be rescued by another dupe and given CPR.

[21:49]I haven't seen that happen yet, but it's a thing. And I think that might cover pretty much all the new things, or at least most of the new things. So like I said for domesticating things early on, if you're finding yourself short on pearls or gum wood to make these, uh, planters.

[22:08]Just have a look out for diamond, because I found some diamond up, uh, around here in the left. It's going to be different on your map, but you can use diamond to make your first early planters.

[22:20]So I didn't want this video to be too long, but I think I'll wrap it up there. The DLC is very fun and there's a lot of new things and I've enjoyed, uh, my play through. And I'll leave a link to the playlist of this base right from the beginning to the to the end.

[22:38]And you can, uh, see how it unfolds. Hope you guys enjoyed this. Don't forget to like and subscribe and share it with your friends and see you in the next one. Bye bye.
