krishagen Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hi guys! I've come across a conundrum on my map. Don't know how to proceed to deal with or cool this. Any suggestions are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeamon Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I'd setup a steam turbine(or several) in a cool enough area that it doesn't overheat, I'd additionally setup a heat exchange into the (newly built) steamroom for that turbine to trade heat with all of that nice hot CO2 using either Crude Oil or Petrol as the liquid medium. Best part is the heat exchange loop could be run off of a liquid bridge after you've initially "charged" the loop so it's all gravy from there. I'd probably provision for an Aquatuner to be used to bring at least part of the CO2 room down to below 100C from the less than 125C range. After that, you just plop some steam turbines onto the top of that already existing steam room and let them munch away on all that steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krishagen Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 I was planning on doing a cold power brick, from Francis John, in the cold section above there. So I might do two birds with one stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Note that liquid phosphorous (becomes liquid at 280.45C) is a fantastic material to make natural tiles for a wild plant farm as it becomes solid at 44.15C. So if you can keep your wild plant farm under that it really is a wonderful tool to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theone1543 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Based on my experience, this is about 1000 cycles worth of steam with one turbine. If you want, you can stick turbines on top, cool them with an at/st setup, and then drain heat from the magma biome. You'll have sufficient power for your base for about 5k ish cycles.

Badpip Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I think transfering heat in another steam room with a automated door is the right way if you want all the power it can give you. If you want to get rid of the heat the fastest way possible you can simply put a lot of steam turbine on top ( who need to be cooled down too) you can also build alot of tempshift plate but it will give you no power Edit: you can also build a door compressor and a little room enclosed in metallic tiles( can't have pressure damage) on top and insulated tiles and corner mine and deal with it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenrirZeroZero Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Stick 4 steam engine on top of it and use the electricity to make ethanol. That way you can store the heat as simple fuel and use it when you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilscratchy Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yup. Im in a map right now that basically put a glacier or something in a 100+degree section of the oil biome. I just stuck gas pumps in there and used the additional power for cooling and drained the steam turbine outputs to a basin to get me quite a lot of extra water, which I then chilled a little with an aquatuner. It's time consuming but it yields a nice bonus of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
