Elongated Domes

[Wuddel]

I just completed my first game. I build every building and researched every tech I could (I know, the breakthroughs are unique per playthrough). I also completed the mystery and my breakthrough bar is filled. So how do I get this elongated dome (screenshot from the trailer)? I this a breakthrough?

I believe it is in fact a breakthrough, so you won't have the opportunity to get this dome in every play. :|

I gotta get me one of those breakthroughs.

Breakthrough building sadly, the option to use two spire would be nice always, but sadly you have to miss it in most of the runs.otherwise this one is barely better than a medium dome, so you still want the mega and the geo one.

 

[Promethian]

Its a nice dome but its not objectively better than a Megadome. The Megadome has something like 8 wedges of space more.

 

[Ri0Rdian]

Better than Medium (quite a bit, has two spires and very slightly more space), worse than Mega. Is a breakthrough. Has niche uses thanks to having two Spires.

It's called Oval Dome and it's breakthrough tech.

All those hydroponics need to go!

I think this would be quite useful for either science (2 science nodes) or farming 2 water reclamation systems.

Specializing a dome for food is unfortunately sub optimal. There is a tech (not breakthrough) that makes farms increase dome comfort by 10. This is effectivly the same as providing a service. So a farm per dome is doubling up on space efficiency.

 

[spannbeton]

True. However people are comfortable enough anyway and if you rely on vaprators you'll have constant water issues...

I got a brakethrough called Multispiral Architeture and it creates oval domes, and i have one of them in my colony, its pretty awesome actually. Lets you put a bar a casino 2 spires so i have a hanging gardens one and a behaviour fixer and several other things as well as a lot of colonists, and all of mine so far are very comfortable and happy. So its definatly worth the long research time.

That is the tech I got too. I preferred these domes over the others just because of the second spire. With an Archology in it, it can compete quite well against other domes. I personally liked my farm version, which did not include hydroponics like yours... Did you have additional crops when you built that?
