jwa1776 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 So I started a new colony and found that volcanoes had become a thing since I last played. And you can't build with abyssalite anymore. How do you deal with heat now? The heat is just going straight through insulated tiles.

Neotuck Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 don't dig out a volcano until you are prepared to deal with the heat using a vacuum to maintain the heat is the preferred method of taming a volcano Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/102003-help-too-much-heat/#findComment-1145260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwa1776 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 yeah, too late on not digging it up. So I should try to dig around it and use a gas pump to create a vacuum?

Neotuck Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 might want to load an earlier save from before you dug it up, depending on the heat the gas pump will break so it's unlikely you'll be able to use one to create a vacuum now Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/102003-help-too-much-heat/#findComment-1145262 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can alway just layer a few sets of insulated tiles. 3 or 4 layers of igneous insulated tiles should keep the heat leakage to a minimum.

KittenIsAGeek Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Two layers of Ceramic will do a pretty good job against most heat sources. Volcanoes.. Could be rough. However, insulated sandstone or obsidian or granite will not be useful at all. Insulated ceramic is the best pre-space insulator, short of creating a vacuum seal.

DemainaNyx Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 It's time consuming, you but you can make a vacuum doing the diagonal tile trick. Build a + out of tiles and destroy the center one to get a vacuum. To extend it just add tiles to surround the next one you want to destroy and continue. You will not be able to recover the materials you use to make that center tile in the vacuum, so make it out of something you have a lot of like sandstone or whatever.

ONIfreak Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If you don't have ceramic yet surround volcano with 1tile vacuum. It will create heat barries around it untill you have materials to deal with it Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/102003-help-too-much-heat/#findComment-1145300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacuuming is best but leaving an unvacuumed gap between insulated tiles is also sufficient.

Christophlette Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If you have enough obsidian you could try to put a three layers insulation around the volcano. Obsidian is not a good insulator but it will not melt with lava. The first layer would be at 1500°C then the second would be 800°C or so and then the last should not be too high and should be cool enough to not impact your base too much. Edit : Or you could build a single obsidian insulation layer and create vacuum between the insulation and a regular tile wall. Anyway, when dealing with regular volcanoes, obsidian is your best friend.

JukedByLife Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The best way would be a layer of obsidian on the inside followed by a layer of insulated ceramic on the outside. This will prevent any heat from leaking out. Hope it helps ;D.

Dont fret about it too much, if the heat bothers you a wheeze or 3 can help I've never had a magma volcano on my map. I've had iron and gold volcanoes, and I've worked with the magma at the bottom of the map. Ceramic melts at 1849.9c and the magma at the bottom is 1500c to 1600c, well under the melting point of ceramic. Gold and iron volcanoes have not been a problem either.
