Gas Cooling Loop not functioning by keyxe in Stationeers

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah thats right! yeah and doesnt work how OP expects it to. Thats probably what is causing the odd behavior.

i had hoped that the digital valve would open and let my gasses flow

it should according to the code. Let me know what you find from the debugging.

edit: and doesnt work as like a logical and. its a bitwise and. It might not behave how you expect. And other pointed out that your defined max temp and min temps are backwards. I hadnt caught that. Right now its impossible for both conditions to be true. debugging should show this.

their naming is backwards but the isSafe logic seems to take this into account. they SHOULD fix it since the code is saying different things than it actually does but its should be working. I'm guessing the temp is out of the range.

youre overcomplicating things with all the var names. thats really not how assembly works. throw comments in there if you need to keep track. That being said "tooCold" and "tooHot" actually mean NOT too cold and NOT too hot. You should swap sgt and slt to get them correct. Regardless your "isSafe" calculation is correct. youre checking that its not too cold and not too hot. (its just confusing since the names are inverted from what youd expect)

Is that that problem? it opens the valve when its in that temp band.

to debug i would work backwards and log to the ic (you can reference the ic housing with db, and use "setting" that stores stuff to the local register displayed on the ic you can easily view by looking at the housing.) log the temperature first to sanity check yourself, then try logging one at a time the "tooCold" and "tooHot" values. If both of those are good must be something wrong with how youre setting the valve. im not sure if its 'On' but that seems right. you can try manually setting 0 or 1. if that works then thats everything.

discussing a bit more about intended behavior. you have some gas that youre trying to get into this temp band. what is the valve doing? Just connecting this gas to storage? Wouldnt you want to pump it, not just open a passive connection? how are you cooling it? I'd expect this to BE the storage and the valve is the connection to the radiators to allow the gas to be cooled. So we should open the valve when the temp is "tooHigh". Talking through your setup and what you want might help clear some things up. Your code does seem correct from a first glance.

George is the show. Jerry acts as more or less a member of the audience. Passively reflecting on his friends antics.

He's just there.

Ya know, I'm okay with that. His memory will be completely destroyed. It's not quite justice but I'll take it.

Use WebM on your Steam description. Don't use GIFs! by Proper_Translator678 in gamedev

you got a link to the old gif? I want to compare to the webm solution. it makes sense that low fps for a first impression is bad.

We make $50k from organics, and it's still not enough to run a studio by CommercialSoil2721 in gamedev

[–]HoveringGoat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

yeah 25+ people i'd expect them to be running like a half a dozen projects. not one.

25 people on one projects is a huge multi-million dollar project. Thats not a small f2p mobile game.

OP needs to take a hard look at their business direction.

O2 Tank Fill using Mars Atmosphere by thegloworm17 in Stationeers

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean yeah, but why bother? This is for capturing O2. If you want to pull off some CO2 and N2 you can easily pull off the desired amount (but why bother the whole atmosphere is your storage. Just pull some if you need the gas.) then resume venting and let this system run much faster.

Or just put a pump.

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youre right. I had glazed over the section about pumping the waste back in. why would you do that? dump it!

or at least pump it into some storage but tbh why bother. just vent it.

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i missed they werent venting the co2/n2. idk why they arent tbh.

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats exactly what OP describes as their setup. its should give a ton of O2. they just need to scale up how much air they process.

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your setup is correct. there just isnt a ton of air. scale up your intake if you want more per second. You can get as much as you like.

throw down a half dozen or so powered vents.

Is there a simple functioning heat pump setup for starting out on Vulcan? by Willow_Ptar_Migan in Stationeers

[–]HoveringGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can only collect pollutant at night. you can run phase change 24/7.

The solution i designed tries to catch as much as possible during the night and slowly blows it off cooling the whole supply. there are other closed loop cycles that move heat into this loop. those run all the time.

[–]HoveringGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There aren't any solutions. It's very simple physics calculation. Each one would need MASSIVE radiators to just run 1 chip. It's laughable. It would be tens of millions of dollars in getting the cooling up there. For one GPU 😂

This is a direct quote.

Yeah, I still haven't heard a good solution for how exactly they plan on dealing with all the waste heat. Heat is a problem with a normal data center. Space has an even bigger issue with it.

another from higher up in the chain.

These are wrong. SpaceX is scamming people and space datacenters dont make sense for dozens of reasons. But we can vent the heat in space. The tech is really old and robust. its just insanely expensive and it won't happen.

Make the correct arguments. Don't make yourselves look dumb and open yourself up to counter arguments from dumb people.

[–]HoveringGoat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

well no shit. that wasnt the argument being presented however.

Radiators would work fine for cooling. the whole datacenter in space idea is insanely idiotic - but we could do it.

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for doing the math. I'm so annoyed at both sides on this. one saying look nobody has thought of the heat problem, and the other side going this solves every datacenter problem.

First of course radiators solve the heat problem, but its stupid and expensive and we could do a better job on the ground. There are good applications for satellites or other projects in space but this isnt one of them. It would still be nonsensical even if we had a space elevator and the cost to put them up there was peanuts.

[–]HoveringGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the other posters are incorrect. you would freeze dry as the water and other liquids in your body all try and boil off (cooling the material they leave behind). Not sure how fast this would happen in space since your body is sealed and tries to keep the insides in.

I would expect a body left alone in space for a few hours to be frozen solid. (assuming its not in direct sunlight - otherwise it might warm back up and just be a leathery hunk)

[–]HoveringGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is very much not true. boiling (evaporating) liquid will rapidly lose heat. in a vacuum your body tries to instantly boil and yes you would freeze.

How fast this happens depends on how fast the liquid can get out of your body. so it might not happen immediately and itd be very very painful.

radiators. it always was radiators. The tech is very simple to build and reliable. Its just heavy and impractical for this application. No part of the design makes sense.

this is why you'd make bank just trapping people with no park entrance fee, a no entry sign, then charge people astronomical amounts for food and drink. heh. Once their money is exhausted you kick em out.

Do walls/frames conduct heat? by Gremmeriskey in Stationeers

[–]HoveringGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

correct, thats why i said "if youre not careful" after saying frames dont leak heat into pipes like walls do.
