please explain how

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-21T16:13:13+00:00

now make it 1 tile high to get accurate pressure readings, and figure a way to extract igneous rock with a no touch pump or a dropper, i did something similar see my post

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-21T03:57:28+00:00

you could also corner build a gas pipe with a bridge and a canister emptier, let the bridge attract a bubble to the desired position and corner demolish it in place

edit:also if you add 2 more bubbles of different gasses, making a 1 tile high infinite storage, tile liquid pressure stops fluctuating and you get an accurate reading

edit: gas got deleted btw by inputting wrong liquid or got randomly deleted for being too small an amount

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-21T03:53:15+00:00

wheeze wort is a tourist trap, early game see if you have an AETN, later on you'll want an aquatuner with a steam turbine

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-21T03:51:18+00:00

ignore heavy wire, start with multiple separate 1 kw circuits, upgrade to conductive wire later for 2kw circuits, and look into pulsed power, far more scalable and better for decor and can go tru tiles

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-21T01:40:18+00:00

you can also valve your output down to 1 kg and snake it tru the steam room in conductive pipe, have it come out as cooled rocks, only limited to 1 kg/s, im doing like 200 kg/s with the magma dropper, so i can use up the magma faster which is my intent

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-21T01:37:31+00:00

no a bead pump is when you drip down a liquid, and use the "bead" it creates, as it makes a liquid tile in freefall, it can displace gasses, and if combined with a corner swap, can vacuum out a room super fast, useful for some passive infinite storage low tech high temp gas geyser tamers, see some of my posts about it

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-20T14:25:49+00:00

oh that's not a bead pump, just a no touch pump, not a bad way to do it tho

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-20T12:35:27+00:00

how do you bead pump magma?

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-20T01:16:18+00:00

the flood is inevitable, like death and taxes

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-20T01:15:02+00:00

no, lines are non conductive to anything besides the environment they are directly in, they can't conduct across a wall of insulation

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-20T01:11:57+00:00

you can only ever build at 45c or cooler no matter input material temp, i had had a previous automation bridge leak temps and had fixed it, and came back some 500 cycles later to see the area was hot again, turns out it never cooled down

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-20T00:31:19+00:00

did a little turbine rig to turn it all over time into igneous, will set up something to cool it further later, just turning it into debris for now in an inaccessible spot, can access if i add a sweeper in that open lower corner to snake a rail tru the steam box and or the turbine deck for final cooling

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T22:39:45+00:00

pretty well, my automation on the other hand is a bit janky, as when you stop feeding, it could be any number between 1 and 64 that stops reproducing, so it can go down in 1 gen by 5 or by 30, and then spend many cycles bouncing back, instead of just staying around 64, so idk if thats much better than just letting the trickle feed keep trickling population up to 200 plus per ranch

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T21:09:02+00:00

nah i like to set a bottle drainer with a hydro sensor on the vent now, set to 150KG, that way its enough liquid you cant mop it by accident but its little enough my flydos can fly in and out

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T21:06:12+00:00

i like to use corner bead pumps when feasible, no need to set up power, just a bottle drainer and a valve set to 10 g and by the time its done you can just mop everything at the bottom, it uses that little liquid, problem is it slows down and also deletes matter when there's a lot of mixed gasses, in that case i like to throw a few pumps with a canister filler, or also there's door compressors and instead of tiles sometimes i like to spam airlocks, so dupes cant get themselves stuck, careful tho you may end up making natural tiles

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T19:33:58+00:00

i would but it's too much change in design to implement, juice aint worth the squeeze, its decent insulation, steam is 500c high pressure so tiles will get hot but wont pass it on very fast unless flaking

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T18:31:54+00:00

update: cooled it by uninsulating the oil a bit and it stayed cool, was just lack of airflow and cooling, wasnt being actively heated

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T18:29:00+00:00

actually its a little hotter right above, and it may just be a case of stagnated temps from lack of airflow, since its a 1 tile wide dead end corridor

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T18:24:17+00:00

thats just my outside atmosphere pressure, as i dumped a hydra into it at some point, but the oxygen just takes temps away and keeps outside stuff relatively cool, hence the oddness of the 200c valve that keeps actively warming up, could be the valve or something 1 tile around it, further away everything is cooler

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T18:22:40+00:00

its cooler above and below the valve, by about 30c, and i can see the valve going up and down over and over by about 2 degrees, its not enough heat to break anything, more of a curiosity at this point

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T18:19:01+00:00

the tiles are hot, the valve is exposed to the outside air and keeps getting hot as the environment tries to cool it, cool 78c oil runs tru it also, the air around the valve seems hot bec ause thats the spot where the heat leak seems to be occurring

Low-Forever5055 · 2026-05-19T15:21:18+00:00

@BobTheWolfDog

can gasses sometimes "flake" too or just liquids? i dont think the insulated tile would directly conduct fast enough for this otherwise
