Natural gas appearing out of nowwhere, have i discovered a bug i should report?


Recommended Posts

so i was playing around in my new colony and was revelling in the glory of finally getting a core base together for my dupes. and i found natural gass appearing out of thin air.

Now, i have quite som natural gas piled up in my oil biome, but have literally never pumped a single packet anywhere. if you take a look at this gas overlay, the only way for gasses to enter my dupes' home base is through the vents that are connected to a spom

I had noticed this before in an earlier colony, when i had set up a core base as well, but i was using a gass range too so i figured something must've happened when laying the pipes, no big deal i thought.

But now it's happening again, and i've got no clue what it could be. The only legitimate way for the gass to get in is through my vents. so i vaccuumed out my spom room using debug, and also removed the natural gas. And a cycle later it's there again. Then i went and checked if any of my dupes posessed the flatulent trait. Unlikely since im very careful with dupe selection but still, gotta rule out other options.

None of my dupes posess the trait. So i'm thinking, is this a bug? or are there any game mechanics that can produce natural gass that im not aware of?. i do have a fridge with food in it, some recently spoiled due to me accidentally putting a deconstruct order on one of the power wires without noticing. Could that have anything to do with it

Does anyone else have any experiences with this? 

Edit: I've taken a look at the packets appearing. It's not a matter of a couple of (milli) grams either, there's packets of hundreds of grams, some exceeding even 1kg in mass. 

Edit2: after actually spotting a packet of natural gas appearing out of nowhere before Also disappearing I've put together a bug report and issues it.

Looks like Jean is the issue here.

The game is acting completely normally. 

WHAT

Did you pull my save from the bug report? 

What the ever living hell?! 

I went over my dupes traits twice and I read past it. Whoops now I feel like an idiot. 

At least I know which dupe is going to suffer a horrifying accident now.

Of course. I'm glad you found the offending dupe. Here is a device you could use to take care of the issue (replace the hatch of course)

I've always wanted to have a base of only flatulent people, I have not checked if it is enough power to be anything other than a nuisance.

A regular gas pump only needs to spend about 5.4% of its energy pumping NG to be power neutral I think? Even with the crappy 120W filters it'd still only be like 8.1%.

Thanks, if I ever want to really kill off a dupe I'll make use of this. For now I just dunked her in magma and removed a couple ladders. IMG_20200707_165727.thumb.jpg.4bad704b48913a70c1f27b77740ee474.jpg
