zergologist Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 What fluid goes in the radiative pipes? Is cooling your spom down even worth it? Tell me, what do you need in order to make your spom produce cool oxygen?

Tell me, what do you need in order to make your spom produce cool oxygen? I use polluted water as it stays liquid for 20 more degrees on either wide of normal water (-20 to 120). I only cool the oxygen that goes to my base so for the most part, it isn't worth cooling. I just build a decent sized cool of whatever water is available, run radiant pipes through the whole thing, run 2 sets of radiant gas pipes through half each, hook it up to an aquatuner/steam turbine, set the aquatuner to turn on at 30 and ignore it. Keeps my usable oxygen cool, provides the occasional bit of power, ignores everything else.

Tell me, what do you need in order to make your spom produce cool oxygen? The method I use is to run the oxygen output through radiant pipes in a pool of water. Then I run a radiant liquid pipe through the same pool connected to an aquatuner. Put a thermo sensor in the pool (or on the radiant pipe) to control the aquatuner and you're good. If you have a medium-sized pool of polluted water (slime biome, etc), and you put your aquatuner there, you can probably run a couple hundred cycles before worrying about a steam turbine. Once your cooling pool is the temperature you want to get your oxygen the right temperature, the aquatuner will run infrequently enough that you can power it off the hydrogen generated by electrolyzers.

tecnix Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 It works, It just works.
