Czeraphine Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 So, I managed to create 68.3kg worth of solid CO2 (which wasn't actually in the system -that's a massive amount of CO2) by cycling CO2 through 2 thermal Thermo Regulators. Here's the thing though, your game WILL crash once anything reaches a temperature below -273.15C (which will happen since it seems the thermo regulators drop their temperature at a constant rate). Since it seems that gas is created doing this process.. maybe I can do this with oxygen and have a net production of oxygen? Additionally, if the material dropped had ambient temperature emissions.. then it'd be even more efficient at cooling things down. Oh my goodness.. it is now 837.3kg worth of CO2 in that one little ball. It seems there is no temperature emissions though. But that conservation of mass, wow! Super cooled oxygen turns to liquid state, and very quickly sublimates back into gas. Doing so cools down the area VERY quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrCarlton Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 This is super cool (kek) I had experimented with cooling down gases in my save, but survival started getting in the way of my experiments. I never thought to run the gases in a closed circuit, i was daisy chaining 5 of them them together. Only useful thing i found was cooling down co2 to make it keep the temperature of the base at a nice 21 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only useful thing i found was cooling down co2 to make it keep the temperature of the base at a nice 21 degrees. I placed them outside of my base so i'm not affected by the thermo's outward heat generation. Additionally, in my new setup, I attached the initial input to a gas filter. This let me pump out carbon dioxide out of my base as well as cycle cold oxygen down into my plants. I am currently chaining 6 of them. This does 2 things: first, the gas only has to pass through each one of them once in order to reach a decent cooling temperature. Second, it saves on energy as I can simply flip my gas pump on for a fraction of a cycle to cool my plants for quite a decent period of time. I might definitely add another 6 above that so that my vent just drips liquid oxygen and soaks up more heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(very nerd-y!) I actually assumed the -273.15C due to the fact that it is 0 Kelvin haha; though they should really make the temperature decrease from the thermo exponentially reach a limit of 0K instead of a linear progression past that point.. it'll fix crashing problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawtrack Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Fun fact: Gas pump and thermo regulator do not need solid support=> You can stack them in a big room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determination Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 What sort of cooling effect does this have on a base? I plan on doing something similar in my base, pumping contaminated water down near magma to evaporate it into steam and then pump the steam back up and cool it to a few degrees above 0 and drop it back in my water reservoir. I'm hoping that having the cool water between my base and my downward shaft would help keep my base cool as my mealwoods are starting to get stifled.

Not liquid contaminated oxygen, liquid oxygen. It converts back into PURE oxygen. Clean. Someone did it and put it up on youtube, with commentary in mandarin. will try to dig up EDIt: here ya go, youtube video of getting pure oxygen from freezing contaminated oxygen then letting it convert back to gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in theory you could keep clean oxygen in your base by abusing contaminated dirt/CO2 conversion. You'd need to fine a method to generate water, since the goal would be a clean settlement. I suppose you could have a sub-settlement with a couple duplicants with vomiter and no bathroom to generate water for your main people. There would still be the decor issue as eventually your people get over 100 decor needs and you cannot actually achieve that. So you'd need a suicide chamber for those ones.

That actually doesn't matter because a duplicant maxes out at 100 for their current decor. You can see this if you check their stats when they are in the area you mentioned.
