Vio2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I was trying to find a way to keep by gas lines from backing up and couldn't find anything to simple but came up with a simple solution by accident so decided to share. Gases mix without stopping typically by the 6th bridge, I believe the speed differential allows a packet on the 2nd line to attempt to mix with 6 different packet along the main line without waiting. Hydrogen seems to aggregate to large packets as well. Comments on how to improve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xFADE Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 You are using the technique of a mechanical filter without realizing it. Go all the way with a mechanical filter at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SackMaggie Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Which one do you want? Spoiler The left side is mechanical filter(using gas valve) On the right is using shutoff automation (shutoff+gas pipe element sensor). The automation approach require some power and refined metal. Mechanical need a little bit of your effort to pre-fill the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cezarica Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Left pipe is Oxygen (actually any gas except Hydrogen since the gas pipe element sensors are set to Hydrogen and the first sensor has a NOT gate on it) and right one is Hydrogen. Haven't tested this but should work. Edit: Corrected a bridge flaw. Didn't test this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try counterflow, which causes two new packets to meet each second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Wow never thought of using valves and sensors (never survived to the efficiency stage of the game yet), that's brilliant. Right now the system I've built in game runs up through a 27 degree water tower so switching to the mechanical I will be able to use a small basin and radiant gas pipes. Thanks for the all the great ideas. I think next i'm going to try to design a water basin with gas tank submerged for the oxy, full of liquid rad pipe that goes to a entropy device or tepedizer based on water temp of the basin. HVAC seems so hard to get a constant temp output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 For some reason I have been unable to duplicate the sensor filter. I notice if gas A is on the sensor while gas B is on the valve opening Gas B enters the valve line with Gas A right behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure gas never stop using unlimited output like @nakomaru example, or put them in circular loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
