How to store materials from space?

have a compactor set to sweep where you want it and then manually sweep it up. 

or have compactor not set to sweep and dupes auto deliver.

for example methane in a nat gas room

I already tried, dupes still not manually use the receptacle and the priority already at 1.

Could you run them through a room full of regular CO2?

That way you get bonus refined carbon from the CO2 condensing.

yeah I thought about this too, i guess for now I have to make a special room to unload the receptacle.

priority needs to be set above 1.  If you default to 5, set to 6 and dupes will prioritize and collect it.

The problem is that you can`t set a compactor to accept methane or solid CO2. Those things are just not on the materials list so can`t be swept. Only way to move them is to change them to liquid or gas and pump away.

I have done it for methane for sure.

When you accidentally freeze some oil pipes in your uber cold room, I'm guaranteed to be spending the next 100 cycles just seeing the solid oil and wondering, how the hell do I get rid of that mess?

 

I was probably about 50% lucky when I recovered some of these materials, my loader was in an area just on the inside of space, so I diverted a stream of warm O2 next to the receptacle and the contents evaporate away.  I have since improved this and solid CO2 etc now just evaporate away quicker.  Real shame to have gone all the way to space, just to bring back trash.

Some materials don't seem to have been fully thought out and implemented yet it seems.
