Troubleshooting
When something breaks, stabilize first and optimize later. Isolate danger, restore survival systems, and keep duplicants able to move.
| Symptom | First action | Root cause area |
|---|---|---|
| No oxygen | reopen safe space | ventilation, pumps, gas mixing |
| Too hot | stop nonessential heat | industry placement, hot materials |
| No food | pause expansion | farms, ranching, processing, power |
| Blocked pipes | find wrong input or full output | filters, bypasses, storage |
| No power | cut optional loads | generation, batteries, wiring |
After the emergency, ask which system failed first and how to prevent the same chain reaction next time.
