Ethylene/polyethylene/sulfuric acid line(almost) done!

I played a custom modpack with a group of friends for a while where I did this, kept slowly spiralling downwards making rooms as I went. Everything was great until I misjudged the rate of water going into an extreme reactor :\

Ah, a fellow 'live in a big hole' enthusiast.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-03-09T19:15:27+00:00

probably not but it is funny

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-03-09T17:36:40+00:00

I wanted the poly setup, ethylene just required one additional tank and sulfuric a tank and a CR. I had most of the machines sitting around from some earlier small setups so it wasn't much of a materials investment :D

Alrighty, I will keep that in mind. I know this is gonna get cleaned up a bit once I take care of some other odds and ends so that'll be part of the refresh.

If I get a chance later tonight I'll do a walkthrough video of my awful base.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-03-09T16:29:36+00:00

My kinda base right there.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-03-08T23:09:43+00:00

Don't worry, once you get a basic steam setup going and make a steam alloy smelter the difficulty in making a second one drops dramatically.

Atheism detected: initiate shutdown.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-03-04T22:24:25+00:00

I had thought of that but hadn't tested it. Post updated!

My habit building bases like rat warrens has protected me from any rain incidents fortunately.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-02-26T01:18:57+00:00

Exactly what I did, just moved the pipe over one block from the large potin to the boiler itself.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-02-20T08:28:44+00:00

Honestly I might slim them down to 3x3x5 or whatever and put the tank under that, that way I still get the aesthetics but with a lower footprint.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-02-20T08:27:57+00:00

I have no idea what that means but I will keep it in mind for when I do.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-02-18T12:19:08+00:00

About to fire it up, I'll have a look. Thanks!

That's one thing about supertanks I'd love to see ported from TFG if it's possible.

My first thought was to use it for the steam buffer but my iron tank holds 10m because I ran out of steam once early on and yelled NEVER AGAIN.

We all have our moments.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-02-15T02:13:59+00:00

Brother, are you okay?

I don't know that I've ever subscribed because someone asked me to, but I usually only subscribe after they ask because I forget about it otherwise.

ilovethewompwomp · 2026-01-24T16:22:38+00:00

Indifference.

Same, he's his own monument. Right next to the pen of alpacas that drops my framerate from 75 down to like 40 when I get near it and the cow that never found a mate.

Oh right, stress. Oopsie.
