nafeasonto Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Normal Vent: 1000G High pressure: 20 KilgoGrams The difference is insane. The "tier" difference is stupid. There needs to be an in between somewhere. Because before getting plastic it's just a pain to work with vents. Can these be tweaked please? Have a Medium Pressure vent or something to that affect that doesn't require plastic, it's a little dumb. How did no one in Early Access complain about this, it just makes no sense to me.

Because everyone has always find a way ? If your playstyle desperatly needs 20kg vents, then rush glossy drecko earlier... ? Those are rather simple to ranch.

I don´t have a problem with the current vents and I am 100% not your opinion^^ Normal vent: Up to 2kg [Used for living areas, to prevent popped eardrums.] High pressure vent: up to 20kg [Used for industrial applications.] Why would I want something in between ? If I would want a new vent, it would be one that allows me to go above 20kg without using an exploit. [Some liquid on top of my vent^^] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmilohill Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I prefer them where they are; the higher tier vents can lead to popped ear drums and a host of other gas problems. Things someone who already has plastic can probably handle, but someone just starting out probably can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, it's 2,000g for the normal vent. Second, why do you need something in between? What are you trying to do? Whatever it is, I'm sure we already figured out how to do it without some random vent that pops eardrums at 5 or 10kg of pressure. We didn't complain about it because we didn't see a need.

Lurve Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 33 minutes ago, nafeasonto said: How did no one in Early Access complain about this, it just makes no sense to me. The best early game advice for gas management I have is to not use vents at all. Dig a basement to store CO2 and CL, an attic for H2, and put mesh tiles in your base wherever things aren't venting properly. In the mid-game you want to delete gases, not store them; skimmers and hydro-gens and saltvines, oh my. You'll probably need some basic vents to move oxygen inside your base, because dupes in the middle will be breathing it in faster than it'll diffuse down. It's only LATE game that you want to store things at tremendous pressure, and by then the high-pressure vent is cheap compared to the rockets and aquatuners you're making as well.

NoQuitting Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 it's like 1kW wire vs 40kW wire matches the design of the game. you get extra small fries or a supersize me. Yeah there is 2kW wire but it's confusing enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 3 hours ago, nafeasonto said: How did no one in Early Access complain about this, it just makes no sense to me. There are a few reasons. Early access players found ways to deal with pressure early on. One of those ways is digging out large parts of them map, to lower the pressure. Another was using airflow tiles to help gasses equalise pressure around the base. Next one was using carbon skimmers to get rid of CO2 and thus reduce pressure. Generally you hardly ever need the high pressure vents, and you really don`t want to pump oxygne into your base with them. I could also blame one of the popular exploits allowing overpressurizing normal vents but i`m not going to talk about this one. (if you want to find it there are a lot of designs out there using it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go higher pressure than that it starts to hurt your dupes. The point of going over safe pressure is for specific industrial uses. In those cases there is no advantage to going under 20k. In fact for most those uses the more gas you can squeeze in the better so people have found tricks to go ABOVE the 20k. There is literally zero use for a middle flow vent. You either want safe pressure or you want as high a pressure as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone bring suggestion everytime, so devs will implement new stuff if it matchs with Klei's vision of the game. You asked for the devs to code the vent, then most of us here asked for the devs to save this time to code other things that could be more useful to the gameplay. They will settle, don't worry.

It's only conceivable purpose would be to make life easier for new players who can't get plastic. To me, it seems like the purpose of a high-pressure vent requiring plastic is to push new players to look for a way to make plastic. Providing a cheap version would take away that push and result in more players giving up in the mid-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, should you need it for some reason, you have gas shutoffs automated with pressure sensors, very simple to setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobucles Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 There was never much complaining about vent outputs, because there isn't anything particularly wrong with them. Low tier vents have no problem filling up a good chunk of real estate with high quality breathable air. They deliberately avoid popped eardrums which is a huge issue for high difficulty modes. High pressure vents give a good amount of gas storage without risking any tiles breaking and creating a gigantic gas explosion inside your asteroid. Everything in between can be solved with pressure sensor automation, and everything above can be solved with exploits. There's no complaints because there's no gap in the air game. A "middle tier" pressure vent won't solve anything that can't already be solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Falken Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Maybe a more useful and flexible solution would be an "advanced vent" with an adjustable pressure threshold (0-20,000g). To balance it a bit, take up to 2-4x the material cost in refined metals and occupy a 1x2 or 2x2 area. Either way, a mod for a mid-tier vent would be more likely than an official game addition.

ONIfreak Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Easy answer. Normal vents for living areas high pressure vents for storing and movong gas around. If ypu want something in between it is easy to achieve with automation. I never had problem to have something in between as with higher pressure than 4k dups has issues.

Vents (unless "tricked") cannot exceed their exact max pressure rating, There is practically no way to do this with automation with such precision. That would be one advantage if such an application was needed, even though I'm unsure when that would ever be... I myself am certainly no stranger to automation; I was merely presenting an idea that would be more useful than a single pressure mid-tier vent as OP is suggesting.

Going from 2000G to 20,000 is a huge jump. It being pretty useless is a good reason I'd say. You're focussing too much on the numbers and not actual usage. There's a vent for standard use in a base and one that gives us as much pressure as the devs are willing. There isn't really a need for anything in-between.
