faraday Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi everyone!. I've tried to make the air scrubber work with no success. Shouldn't the air scrubber take a gas as an input and output?. So, i've tried to install liquid pumps and i can't make it work. Should we compress the carbon dioxide to make it a liquid? or whats the deal?. Btw, loving the game so far.

Criptfeind Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Although I've not used it myself as of yet (instead relying on the algae to scrub the air) what the air scrubber does is use clean water to clean out carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, basically trapping the carbon in the air into the water, creating contaminated water, so you need to pump in clean water from a water pump located in a water reservoir, and then use pipes to move the contaminated water that it creates to a water purifier, and from the water purifier you can move it back into the air scrubber or into your water reservoir or whatever.

faraday Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Oh that makes sense. Thank you!. I'll try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czeraphine Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A more chemical approach to this is that CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 (which is also called carbonic acid). Though, realistically, the reaction is very slow, and the acid is very weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I've seen that those generate a bigger amount of contaminated water: I remember something like "Using 233 g/s of Water" and "Generating 333 g/s of contaminated water" so, maybe those could be useful to generate water.

Attach your water pump to your air scrubber which is then attached to your water purifier which is then pumping back out into your water deposit. Conservation of mass wouldn't apply and you would get infinite water. And, with infinite water comes infinite power and other such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be useful to compensate the destructive behaviour of the algae terraria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the algea terrarium doesn't make too much sense since they also require the additional input of more algea. The point of a terrarium is self sustainance though. And, if it's not enclosed, only the input of water and carbon dioxide would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the plants only need time also, it'd be nice that plants (including the algae terrarium) would consume CO2, produce O2 and need some light maybe.

Elucidus Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Sorry to beat a dead horse, but the water that came out of my filter, not my air scruber ended up being contaminated water. I selected water as the output, so I am not sure what i did wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
