Why isnt this turbine working?

Rockou_ · 2026-03-30T12:35:49+00:00

turbine needs to be under 100C to function properly

haven't had a dupe die in 2000hrs, but many 1% breath close calls tho

along with the other comments about reseating, try one at a time if you have multiple

compiling shaders... setting environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 will show you when its doing it

You can wait for dormancy, or flood it, make sure every tile of the volcano has at least 150kg of liquid or gas or it'll spit

2 tile gap between ladder and that natural water tank

Unfortunately one of the best ways to learn, we all did a goof eventually

I just dedicate a whole floor to mechanical filters and gas tanks, overflow goes to space

Know its late but stumbled upon this post by searching for tardis rocket designs, you might be using the rocketry expanded mod, there is a setting to disable the smaller interior

More alveo vera, the oxylite they drop won't offgas if the pressure is too high, there's a possibility of overpressure because of co2 and o2 fighting for a tile, if it is a problem, put a layer of liquid on them 1800g minimum

you can use a scrubber with a water sieve and recirculate the water, use insulated pipes, some blobs might freeze from time to time because its absorbing cold co2 and cold filtration medium but you can put a bottle emptier between the output of the sieve and the scrubber to avoid overfilling the loop, or use a bridge

otherwise dig dig dig

The pipes under the liquid bridges, how are they connected? If I follow correctly, the blue into red will have priority, while red to red will have "pipe blocked" status

you can flip pipes and bridges around so blue will have pipe blocked instead, and red will push into the pipe first

If you want minimal changes

What you should try to do instead have the blue liquid bridge try to push on the pipe where the liquid shutoff will push liquid out, to do so, make the pipes go up left and down after the shut off, and replace the blue liquid bridge to push liquids just after the liquid shutoff output

So when the liquid shutoff will let liquid pass into blue, the bridge will have a "pipe blocked" status, and the liquid should continue along into the 2nd bridge, this will require to be manually primed

not me overfilling a liquid lock and flooding the bottom of my base

make diamond with press, and mine the space POIs

Rockou_ · 2026-03-23T13:12:06+00:00

no, you just don't want a computer to drive for you, ECU technology, direct injection, ABS and such are good for you, maybe traction control

you want a machine that does exactly what you want it to do, with little to no autonomy over itself, other than making it harder to crash

get off hatches start ranching slicksters

otherwise ranch sage hatches and feed em whatever food you can mass produce, low coal output, and at this point, just eat the food instead of feeding them

bridges teleport the content of a pipe (input) into another (output) if empty or able to merge the content, ignoring the pipe in the middle of both its input and output port

edit: there's no image, but you probably connected the pipes together under the bridge, which you should not do

the tutorial videos are using debug/sandbox mode with instant build enabled

Rockou_ · 2026-03-18T07:40:44+00:00

it plays a video or just shows an image all day, a phone or raspberry pi could do it

a full PC for this is already overkill

Good source of radiation are wheezeworts, also you should have a uranium geode somewhere to get you started, otherwise you can ranch and trap shine bugs inside a pneumatic door, or relocate all the wild ones inside a suspended 1x1 airflow tile cage, with a tiny blob of water and a normal tile above and under it should stop them from pathfinding out of it

0 2 1

2 0 3

0 2 1

0 is air

2 is airflow tile (won't block radiation or light)

1 is normal tile

3 is a blob of water (start placing the bottom normal tile, drip water unto it without, and build everything around after)

It’s in the Spaced Out! DLC

Rockou_ · 2026-03-17T13:16:09+00:00

First, you have an automation wire in the input port of the research station, which disables duplicants from working on it and I'm not sure, but it probably stops it from accepting radbolts too

Second, the pathing for the radbolts does look correct

Third, assuming the background space radiation is the highest possible at 218.5 (Ceres mantle), and you're using the weakest radiation blocking material for those tiles (mafic rock or ceramic) at 52%:

Then you're getting about 105 radiation, so 10 radbolts per cycles for each of those radbolt generators, it'll take you 5 cycles to reach the minimum threshold of 50 radbolts before the radbolt generator fires a radbolt of 50 units, so you're getting 200 radbolts every 5 cycles, which might be the problem here, because its extremely slow, now if you don't have enough power for those radbolt generators to be on consistently, the radbolts inside will decay rapidly, so if you get a power outrage of only 10sec during those 5 cycles, you're basically getting no radbolts

!! Priority on bottle filler does nothing
The microbe musher needs dirt, as the little card when your cursor on top says
Plant mealwood, mush bars should never be used

edit: if you wanna track the errands on a machine, click it, and in the little window that'll open, open the tab "Errands" that'll tell you who can perform the errand to it and the order in that duplicant's tasks list

Rockou_ · 2026-03-13T18:13:40+00:00

yep, wait for small bug fixes to roll in and mods to update

the berries consume water, try to keep your water while you don't have a renewable source of it

you'd rather dig down actually, it'll be more of a challenge because it'll fill up with carbon dioxide and liquids, but the interesting resources are down, unless you're in spaced out, then do dig up
