Different composition between desalinating and boiling salt water

I confirm 25.2% by flash boiling.

Salt.sav

So who's gonna make the bug repport?

[nakomaru]

Not me! This should be a feature of the boiling pathway.

I want my fresh water. Salt's kinda useless. Wonder if we can do anything else with this.

Plus this scales the faster the salt water boils with 25.2% being maximum.

@nakomaru can I use your save?

Salt's not useless! I always run out & I'm not even making table salt. Use deoxidizers instead of electrolysis, never run out of metal again, spend way less effort cooling.

More salt, yes please.

Ya but I also want my water...

Btw are you gonna run out of rust?

not for a few thousand cycles.

Salt is always the limiting factor.

So if we pour it from above it is 2519.5

Put your vents in liquid to get more water? Or less heat, just enough to boil it. Btw, you can use last file from nakomaru in your report. Should be clear enough.

 

Btw, what factor to determine how much we get? Still from @nakomaru last save

both vents in the left 1956.4g. I just disable sweeper.

Theory:

• The bug is related to 5 ticks per second and 5 heat transfers per second.
• The element only finally converts after 5 ticks (1 second).
• Tick 1, the element is spawned.
• With enough heat, the phase change happens on tick 2.
• For ticks 3-5, it is still does the phase change check even though it's already done.
• Phase change happens 4 times. 0.93⁴=0.74805 water. 25.195% salt.
• If not enough heat, phase change starts on 3rd tick.
• 1-0.93³=19.564% salt. And so on

You, I made that originally for you

Ya, might have to do that. Damn I gonna have to do something with this spaghetti.

Thanks, bug report made.

I second that !!! Finally a reason for salt boiler.

In the past, i tried to freeze the salt out, but the resulting efficiency was worse than using desalinator on brine
