Oxygen filter causes higher consumtion of oxygen

Hello capsulers,

Today I put an oxygen filter to my equipment. The description tells me, that this item will help me to reduce oxygen consumtion, depending on the state of development of the planet. So far, so good. But now I can't go out of my base for more than a few seconds, till my oxygon tank is empty and I have to reload it. Befor I but this item to my equipment belt, my tank kept me alife for several minutes and I could fly with my rocket-pack around the half of the planet....anyone else have this problem? And how can I fix it? I tried to remove the filter, but no effect. The consumtion is now much higher than before, no matter, what I do....

Regards
Uwe

One more question....I can't find bee larvaes. I'd like to grow some bees, but since I can't find any larvaes of them...I can't build beehives. Any ideas?

There is not a "bee larva" perse ... you have to use an incubator to create bee larva ... the incubator requires an uncommon larva, a fetilizer and a mutagen.

You won't always get a bee larva so have a recycling machine nearby.

As for your oxygen consumption ... I do not experience that.

I don't know if this is a spoiler or not, but I will treat it as such in case: You are terraforming the planet! The more oxygen you produce for the atmosphere, the less you'll use from your tanks, until you're breathing without the tanks all together (unless you're under water).

You will always get a bee larva until you unlock silk worm, only they does the probablity change.
And you still need your T4 tank even with the oxygen filter. It just reduces the consumption rate from the tank. The 'rate' is displayed in the bottom LH corner of the screen. The higher the O2 in the atmosphere the lower the consumption rate, until it become infinite at O2 Atmosphere, but you still need the tank when under water.
If your Atmosphere O2 level is low build more Algae spreaders, then tree spreaders when you can.

there is no unlock point for silkworm, bee and silkworm are available the moment you can set up an incubator

What is your Oxygen Tank capacity?
I once forgot to pick the Oxygen Tank from the ground after my equipment inventory overflew (i removed the Exoskeleton I was wearing to build a more advanced one), and then I wondered why my pulmonary capacity had dramatically decreased :steamhappy:

I was trying to help him without taking all the mystery. I know these things. On the oxygen ... "until" was the key word.
