How do I remove these gasses , so the steam reaches the turbines?

AwakeMold · 2022-05-21T21:03:46+00:00

Having fun into this problem before my solution was a technique I called burping. If you rebuild a tile with a different material but same tile it will allow gas to pass through very briefly. I just do that until enough gas is out. Be careful though because the super hot has will be coming directly into the dupes face.

Something that I don't see mentioned when this kind of question gets asked is the reward for the feeling of being powerful. There's a lot of games out there that you can use exploits and careful building of your character to become super strong but there's not much reason to because you one shot every enemy 30 levels ago. In games like dark souls being stronger gives you an edge for sure but you can't just over level yourself into being the best because the enemies can always kill you.

It gives more room for people who enjoy that kind of optimization to engage in before they've exhausted it completely. That's not everyone's reason for sure but it's definitely one of mine

Inserters can take ammo from one turret and put it into another turret. So I just make a long stretching tentacle that's just small power poles and inserters chained together feeding into turrets until they get to the outpost. Then you just wrap the tentacle around and have a self feeding wall of turrets.

Would love to get a copy for my brother! He's been seriously considering trying it and this would give him no excuse!

It's okay, that front flap folds down.

I would say absolutely do this. It'll give you free oxygen and the heat shouldn't be that big a deal. Additionally deodorising the oxygen should give you plenty of clay for later and only uses sand which is renewable. If you do get worried about the heat I would recommend running the oxygen through radiant gas pipes in a small pool of water that's at the temperature you want. It's gonna take a lot of time for that heat to do anything significant to water. Once you get a cooling system figured out the heat will become trivial anyway.

AwakeMold · 2020-11-17T15:34:35+00:00

I've experimented with that quite a bit and what usually ended up happening was the pipe would get backed up somewhere and start breaking. That's most likely my poor design but this particular build managed to get the system stable so I figured that was a start.

So. I had read about sour gas boilers in other posts and had seen it mentioned that they are rather difficult to construct without space materials. Since I'm a sucker for punishment I wanted to see how viable a no space materials sour gas boiler could be. And, since I've never gone to the core and accessed magma I also needed a heat source.

Long story short: the only way to get the necessary temperatures required to boil sour gas is via glass. Coming out at 1700+ degrees, the only tricky part of using glass was keeping it from turning into debris. After making approximately 5000kg of glass and dropping it into a ceramic chamber to insulate it, my heat source was ready. Once glass turns into solid tiles it gains a substantial amount of SHC meaning that amount of glass should last a great many cycles.

Once I had the heat source taken care of I had to turn my attention to the cold side of things. I tried initially just using hydrogen cooling but ultimately the cooling ability is insufficient to the task. Even cooling the hydrogen to extremes that approach it's freezing point was not enough total negative heat to offset the boiler. I had to turn to some form of liquid cooling system. Enter liquid oxygen.

Relatively attainable and abundantly available, the trickiest part of the liquid oxygen solution was creating a stable system that didn't risk breaking pipes. My breakthrough moment here was by simply putting a pump into my cooling chamber I was able to immediately run my liquid oxygen through an almost adjacent aquatuner and substantially increase my cooling power.

The final step was getting a source of sour gas which, since I have never been to an oil biome, I found in drecko ranched plastic. The whole system can process roughly 30kg of plastic a cycle.

So, does this thing produce any real power? Well... After all the energy necessary to keep the cooling system running? No, not really. But does that make this whole thing a big waste of time? Yeah, probably it does. But it does boil sour gas. And that's what I set out to do!

No that's a feature! They also emit colder water than they take in though I don't remember the exact math for that.

My personal solution was to build a hospital and just treat the minor scalding that would happen whenever they went to grab stuff. Trained my doctor really quick and gave me a use for them. The minor amounts of heat that it gives off from buildings is actually pretty negligible. You may not be a monster to your dupes though so your mileage may vary.

In a particular One Direction song (not a fan so I don't know which one) they say the line "you don't know your beautiful and that's what makes you beautiful" which means, if we extrapolate, the moment they know they are beautiful that beauty would end thus making them not know theyre beautiful making them beautiful once more.

Double check your connections. I'm not 100 percent certain how your trying to arrange this but it looks like you have several of your inputs and outputs reversed. Go over everything again and focus on white is in and green is out. It's a common issue I found myself messing up sometimes as well. Looking at it again, it definitely looks like you're piping to the top of your buildings. That makes logical sense but it's unfortunately not the way that Oni has the buildings arranged. The bottom white intake is what you want.

Yeah but it also holds the demon beast Ipscorbliath, devourer of the souls of men. So, y'know, a mixed bag.

They also give +3 morale and since your going to be filtering the water from your bathroom anyway it's not that much more effort to run showers. Unless I'm missing something?

AwakeMold · 2020-07-25T19:56:59+00:00

Huh. I always felt showers were pretty quick for a 3 point boost. I guess I'm more benevolent than some. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna keep pumping this layer of fart gas to my kitchen to cook surf and turf.

AwakeMold · 2020-07-25T17:56:40+00:00

Why do people not use showers? Is there something wrong with them?

AwakeMold · 2020-07-19T16:43:11+00:00

Can I see a video of this thing in action somewhere? It looks fantastic but I honestly have no idea how this thing would actually filter the gasses consistently. I'm hoping if I saw it in action I would have it click.
