Cycles 1-10: Initial Setup
Duplicants: Begin with a balanced team: a researcher to unlock technologies, an operator for machinery, and a digger or constructor for base expansion.
Digging & Building: Carve out your colony’s initial layout. Prioritize bedrooms, a latrine, and a space for food and water storage.
Research: Focus on essential technologies like Farming and Power Regulation to set the foundation for your colony’s growth.

Cycles 11-20: Basic Infrastructure
Food Production: Establish a Mealwood farm. It’s a reliable food source that will sustain your Duplicants in the early stages.
Power Generation: Install a Manual Generator connected to a Battery. This setup will provide a stable power supply for your initial needs.
Oxygen Production: Deploy an Oxygen Diffuser and begin excavating Algae and Copper Ore to fuel it.

Cycles 21-30: Expanding the Base
More Duplicants: If your resources are plentiful, consider adding more Duplicants to your workforce.
Advanced Research: Unlock more complex technologies such as Sanitation Sciences for better plumbing and Ventilation for improved air flow.
Base Expansion: Grow your base’s footprint, ensuring that oxygen distribution and temperature regulation are adequately managed.

Cycles 31-60: Resource Management
Resource Gathering: Intensify the collection of critical resources like Coal and various Metal Ores for construction and manufacturing.
Advanced Infrastructure: Construct sophisticated machinery like Coal Generators for power and Electrolyzers for oxygen generation.
Waste Management: Implement solutions for handling Polluted Water and Carbon Dioxide, such as Water Sieves and Carbon Skimmers.

Cycles 61-90: Sustainability
Sustainable Food Production: Transition to long-term food solutions like Bristle Blossoms, which provide more calories and require water instead of dirt.
Sustainable Oxygen Production: Move away from Oxygen Diffusers to Water-based Electrolyzers for a more reliable oxygen supply.
Temperature Control: Begin to actively manage heat within your base using cooling solutions like Ice-E Fans and Thermo Regulators.

Cycles 91-120: Exploration
Biome Exploration: Venture into new biomes to discover unique resources and lifeforms.
Geysers: Locate and utilize Geysers for a steady influx of resources such as Water and Natural Gas.
Disease Control: Be vigilant about diseases, especially when delving into Swamp Biomes, and take measures to protect your Duplicants.

Cycles 121-150: Advanced Technology
Deep Space Missions: Initiate deep space missions to gather rare resources and unlock the mysteries of the cosmos.
Colony Optimization: Fine-tune every aspect of your colony for peak efficiency and prepare for any challenges that may arise.

Good luck! 🍀

"This is a comprehensive guide" - I beg to differ

Is this a joke?

Here is my guide at how to win at baseball:

1) Try to score more runs than your opponent
2) Hope that the opposing starting pitcher tires early
3) Hit a bunch of home runs

I mean, thanks for trying; I guess.
