What to do with those geysers?

[Szczuku]

I have 1 hot Hydrogen Geyser, 1 Chlorine geyser , 2 hot CO2 geysers and a magma volcano.

All I can think of is to use Hydrogen one as a power source for some small machines and to use CO2 ones with Slicksters. The Chlorine one I guess can be used with Pufts

No idea about the volcano. Maybe heating up CO2 to get molten slicksters?

[Yoma_Nosme]

I use volcanoes for turning oil to petrol. Then cool the 400+°C petrol with steam turbine loop. And generate a little power this way. Usually don't go the whole oil to petroleum to sour gas to liquid methane to methane heating, cooling shablam until space materials

Outputs of the Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide geyser are quite low, so it's not very helpful for anything.

I find it's not worth to ranch, but if you want to have sustainable source of bleach stones (to farm waterweeds) then ranching squeaky pufts using Chlorine geysers is the way to go

Volcanoes are helpful if you know how to utilize them: great source of power, unlimited igneous rock and oil boiler (into petroleum and nat gas)

See the hydrogen vent tamer here:

Generates some power from the heat, and then you can burn the hydrogen in a hydrogen generator or two for pretty decent power.

I'm not sure why you say the hydrogen vent is low.  It's got the same output as a NG vent, plus the heat can generate additional power.

[camelot]

So I just checked the outputs of all the vents again and they usually above 300g/s, which is very good actually. I had the impression that all vents, except Natgas have the output around 100g/s when the ONI were launched. I haven't played the game in a long time. My bad

Yeah, they boosted the outputs of most of the low output gas vents to the usable range.

Volcano - tap for heat energy

Hydrogen - tap for hydrogen and heat energy

Chlorine and CO2 - cap 'em and ignore.

There's a lot of fun to be had with Volcanoes of all kinds and there's some good that can come out of hydrogen vents, but chlorine and CO2 aren't typically things you can use an infinite supply of, and they don't come with any byproducts (heat, cooling, or otherwise) that are worth engineering a solution for.

At least, as far as I know.

Bleach stone can be used for hand sanitizers. It helps save the water and removes more germs (as per description) than water sink.

CO2 to make sparkling water for the rec-room.

You'll get more water with p-water - sieve - water because dupes produce more ph2o than they use water when washing with sinks

Dupes produce more water (additional 6kg/cycle, I think) when using a Lavatory. For the sink, same volume that goes in comes out.

Hand sanitizers are also much faster. Time save.

You can also use the CO2 geyser with Oxyferns to generate a ton of oxygen (for some water and dirt). More efficient than Electrolyzers for oxygen per unit of water, but you won't get hydrogen out (obviously). Significantly cheaper on power, though, and it's much easier to cool the small amount of CO2 used by the Oxyferns rather than the large amount of outputted oxygen from an Electrolyzer.

If you're feeling really brave, you can even use wild Oxyferns and avoid the water and dirt cost entirely (at the cost of needing more plants/space per unit of oxygen).

but you need to feed oxyfern with water between 0 and 40°c . Imo it's the most useless geyser in the game.

If that's a concern, you can use Pips to plant wild Oxyferns and avoid water use entirely.

That being said - I'm using domesticated Oxyfern and a CO2 geyser as my primary oxygen source on my current save, and things are working great. It's true that you might have to design systems slightly differently than you would with Electrolyzers, but as long as you do, it's very effective.

with wild oxyfern yes it can be a source of oxygen but there is lot of other co2 source who are way better than a 500°c co2 geyser

Try to involve Molten Slicksters to conver CO2 directly into petroleum

Slicksters give negligible amounts of oil, sadly.

Balancing a slickster population against your co2 production is a great way to eat up your co2 and getting meat and another byproduct, which can rain down on your mid level power setups to keep them from overheating.
If you play with slickster morphs and carbon revolution mods then it makes them a lot better.
