Massive Change to PW Tile Off-Gassing (Not Bottled)

Mwhahahaha. :)  It looks like you'll have this mass duplicator perfected before I even have time to open the game. :encouragement:  Definitely something I'll happily help campaign to eliminate if it remains longer than Monday. 

FYI, I love the new rank, "most edits." I've also loved your icon progression over the years.

Should we post this on the update threads, or submit a bug report, or keep it quiet and enjoy the nice mass duplicator.  Hmm...

@nakomaru, I have my valves set at 10g/s, and each hydrosensor shuts the vent next to it at .1kg/s (so 100g - smallest possible). The valves are not open all the time, so I'm using less than 24kg/cycle water (though occasionally I do loose 10kg to refill when a tile drops below 1000kg, every few cycles it happens). I keep hitting around 310-315kg/cycle oxygen (so right on par with your 312ish from your first test). Not sure how you got 495kg O2 in a single cycle (though you didn't say it was a single cycle, so no worries). If we could set the hydrosensor lower that 0.1kg, we could get a higher multiplier with closer vents and more sensors.

Nice! That's really efficient. There's some variation of course, but in my final build I originally got 395 polluted oxygen in one cycle (oxygen generated in report divided by 0.9). There were no changes since then, but I came back after a while on super speed and it was producing more and consuming less, giving me around the current numbers.

Basically, variation, the effects of super speed, maybe some extra time needed to stabilize, and calculating PO2 rather than O2 should account for the differences.

In hopes of preventing things from ever needing to be refilled via the 10kg backup, I swapped to 30g/s flow, and counted the number of seconds each vent was open over a cycle (I missed a few seconds, but this is close).

It averages out to somewhere between a constant 15-16g/s flow, but the larger flow will prevent the large 10kg backfill events from happening. There was 342kg O2 produced that cycle, or about 380kg PO2.  That means around 38kg PW generates 380kg PO2 (so x10).  I like the 10g/s option, but the backfilling of 10kg chunks of water happens more frequently. I guess I could test it on ultra speed for 50 cycles and compare, but nah...  

The x10 rate seems to be a pretty decent benchmark that agrees with both our findings. Thanks for the fun. I enjoyed testing this contraption.

So is it normal for Klei to fix this or is this the safe route we should all go now? :D 

Because it seems that Klei WANTS us to do this.. other methods or producing oxygen are quite.. disappointing. 

Polluted water evaporation has long been a normal method for producing oxygen, so I'm certain it will stay in the game. This new bug/exploit is surely not intended, and they have a history of fixing matter creation bugs. I'm sure nobody knows how long we get to play with it though.

Did some extended tests at superspeed. Can't beat the 10x multiplier, and 30g/s valves work best for this layout too.

Valves at 25g/s for 17 cycles: 56.1kg PW per cycle used, 516kg PO2 per cycle produced.

Valves at 30g/s for 11 cycles: 51.5kg PW per cycle used, 516kg PO2 per cycle produced.

Valves at 35g/s for 21 cycles: 52.9kg PW per cycle used, 503kg PO2 per cycle produced.

Valves at 50g/s for 17 cycles: 53.9kg PW per cycle used, 503kg PO2 per cycle produced.

This would be perhaps the biggest reason to kill the bug.

I´m I the only one just thinking about the implication that duplicants can (finally) selfsustain their oxygen need.

 

[I just mess with the old ways of torture to increase the (polluted) water yield of my duplicants, maybe we can produce enough to cover food consumption aswell^^]
