Steve Raptor Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hey folks, Long time no see. I'm back to making videos and I would like to present you my design for a Nosh-bean farm: Il be happy to hear what you think about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Not bad, personally I adapt my sleet wheat farms for nosh beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, you can easily extend the farm by building another farm chamber below it and extending the pipe loop. Or instead you can extend it horizontally by making the farm chamber wider. To add another distiller you can do the same to the machinery room, build another room below or extend the original horizontally, and extend the ethanol feeding pipe through the original ethanol distiller.

Maxposting Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 can we get the nosh beans from care packages finally? Those are the only plants that aren't accessible on Terra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Block Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Not need to cooling ethanol. Cooling with polluted water is more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This requires messing with valves and packets to feed exact amounts of ethanol to prevent heating the crops and ethanol build up in the tiles, this usually results in pipe spaghetti, especially when you have a very large farm. I do not like this method, so I used a different solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Ever thought about cooling with wheezie worts? I made a post about farming sleet wheat with warm water. The same design can be used for nosh beans After some testing I wanted to see how hot I can get the water, seemed 85C was the limit so Ethanol straight from a distillery should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most maps with ice biomes has between 30 to 50 worts If you have reached a point to need farming 60 nosh beans like in my farm setup that supports over 40 dupes with spicy tofu. If you have reached that point good chances you have explored most of the map and have the 32 required worts for this build Up to personal play style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooling with polluted water more effective than cooling with ethanol, 4.179 vs 2.46 kDTU/g/C 2. Not need to cooling ethanol, plants controls body temperature, which depends on the gas temperature. Plants consumes warm liquid, and remove the heat, not the cold. 3. Is my scheme too complex?! In the worst case, which does not happen, you will cool ethanol to the same temperature as water, but more economically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tried it, the plants quickly overheated with hot ethanol, despite the room temperature being -20 degrees, So i'm not sure where did i go wrong, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polluted water near the root of the plant? Can you give your scheme that did not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Raptor Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Ok, so after playing around with PW/Hot ethanol that's what I got: 1) The room temperature struggled or wasn't able to keep up with the plant temperature and most of the time they wilted 2) The aqua tuner worked for long periods, 70-100% compared to my design ~10%-30%, so while Ethanol is less efficient than PW, the aqua tuner works a lot more. 3) PW freezing point prevented me to cool it to a lower point to compensate the hot ethanol.
