Sasza22 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 A few times i got to the late game i found myself overproducing oxygen when compared to hydrogen leaving me with too much oxygen and nothing to use it for. Venting it into space feels kinda wrong. There should be some sort of thing i can sink it into. Like a material that is created out of oxygen (maybe aerogel) that you could use in large amounts. Maybe for insulation, just a bit weaker than the super insulator. Or maybe some kind of super glass that needs bottled oxygen added and lets 100% light pass. Maybe some sort of building using oxygen. Like a more effective combustion generator using oxygen and refined carbon for superb power efficiency (maybe more of a midgame tech). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lali-Lop Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Although I'm not sure if they consume a sizable amount of oxygen, you could always breed longhair slicksters to help get rid of some excess while getting some eggs/meat in return (which is better than nothing?)

(I Admit i had the idea of a matter destroyer before but then began dumping to space and felt its alright that way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredhp Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It's not wrong, just wasteful. Before QOL 3, i dumped ultra hot steam into space for easy heat deletion (with this new turbine that wont be necessary anymore) Almost all my bases, i send CO2 to a slickster ranch. If it gets overpressured , ( > 20Kg), there is a long pipe venting the extra CO2 to space.... its better to lose the CO2 than clog my nat gas generator with CO2.

It`s supposed to be about managing the oxygen, it`s like burning extra food in Don`t Starve when you need extra ash. Feels wrong. Like i know that i can freely vent it wehn i have way too much but i`d prefer if there was something i can sink it into and not feel like i`m throwing it away.

It is something easy to mod we have a oxylite refinery it can produce something else. Also it would be possible to feed oxylite to a critter. Just add some ideas to what the product could be.

Sasza22 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Imo the best thing would be some sort of material you can build tiles out of. Like aerogel or some sort of transparent plastic you can use in space as a window tile with low thermal conductivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not look into making new materials i think it should be possible now but looking will take time and delay adding it. Thats why i thought on a material thats already ingame.

natanstarke Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 we Have oxylite refinery, stock, vent, longhair slicksters and dense pufts to make use of it, if you have all these and still with excess, just let buildings overpressure and economize energy!

0xFADE Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Liquid oxygen for rocket launches seems like a pretty good late game sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a rocket mod maybe suggest it in the issues page: https://github.com/lfricken/oni-mods/blob/master/Mods/RocketOverhaul.md Well i could do: Pacu diet: oxylite -> water (but less than is needed to create the oxygen that way you get a cycle that can create hydrogen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maremick Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Oxygen can provide a moral boost in a better way tahn the massage table. Oxygen can be use to clean polluted water. A dupe with oxygen mask can work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.L.S. Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Refined metal + o2 = metal ore + heat. this could be useful in late game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you are using petroleum as fuel. If you use hydrogen engines you will produce 8 times the amount of oxygen you need compared to hydrogen. 14 hours ago, D.L.S. said: Refined metal + o2 = metal ore + heat. this could be useful in late game. Maybe a burner machine. Changes metal to ore (except gold, that should need mercury) organics to carbon, phosphorite to phosphorus and maybe a few more. Powered by oxygen and using power.

No need to overcomplicate, i was thought about just adding recipes to klin, its already release heat while working, playing with time of production and materials mass it can be tuned for required heat output per kg of metal(different for different metals ofc, each metal its own recipe). just add metals and botled oxygen and it will process it some time releasing heat and eventually drop metal ore. Need more heat output - just put 10, 20, 50 klins and run them simultaneously. btw good addition about carbon and phosphorite, maybe also hydrogen to burn it back into water.
