avc15 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This drives me absolutely batty. I have some high priority bins set up for collecting ice, and this also really confuses the hell out of my dupes. This has also happened in my smokestack builds with a tiny amount of CO2 constantly changing phases inside my cold tank. Not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelfled Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 What's the temperature of the insulated tiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biopon Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yeah @Aelfled is onto something, this has to be the insulated tiles vs debris heat exchange bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avc15 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Anywhere from 44c to 20c. I see. So the answer may be to just let it keep going a while until it stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishoutofwater Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 maybe try build mesh tiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDegow Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If you use a tempshift plate it should help stabilize this ice and allow you to pick it up. Or even better if it works, a mesh tile, when the water freezes, ice should go on top of the mesh tile and be stable, airflow tile would guarantee vacuum insulation.

Coolthulhu Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Solid-solid temperature interactions are orders of magnitude faster than solid-liquid ones. Water is cooled by polluted water, turns to ice, ice heats quickly from tiles, turns back to water. You need to cool the tiles below. The tiles won't cool themselves down, at least not quickly, because solid-gas interactions are much faster than solid-liquid ones. Build some tempshift plates touching the insulated tiles from inside the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
