Red Oolong Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I'm about 400 cycles into a game of Spaced Out, and I'm finding that my sand reserves are starting to get a little bit low. Without regolith, is there any to produce more filtration media? Or am I going to have to make a pollute water boiler on every planetoid to keep bathroom loops running?

Pyrex042 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 There are a few ways, but none that are easy/high-volume. The easiest way is to ranch Pokeshells and feed them polluted dirt, but that doesn't produce very much sand (70kg/Groomed Pokeshell/cycle, which will feed roughly one Deodorizer per Pokeshell). The high-volume way is to heat up a steam room to ~350C, run Dirt through the room on Conveyer rails, and when it cooks to Sand you use Thermium Robo Miner to dig the tiles and load the sand onto a 2nd rail to take it out of the oven.

Steve8 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 You can crush rocks into sand, but it's pretty labor intensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass, sieves and deodorizers. Did i forget something? And if you encounter an volcano, the ressource is unlimited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Well, I let some deodorizers run and now I have 150t of clay... I think long-term, volcano-taming and crushing the rocks you make is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRup Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Don't forget table salt... Making it does free sand from the regular salt. Mad scientists will have noticed table salt melts back into regular salt ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWorldDan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Use a volcano to cook dirt into sand. It converts at 326C. Granted, I never do this intentionally, but it's happened a few times when I've built a volcano tamer with polluted water. For polluted water, I use an aquatuner/steam turbine to make a water boiler. Produces dirt as a byproduct. Kind of an awkward build, you can realistically only get about 4kg/s on the output until you get supercoolant, but arguably well worth it because it becomes a zero labor device.

n_t_p Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Cooking dirt works well with arbor trees. You need to cook the pDirt anyway to avoid the dupe labor of compost flipping, so you may as well bring it up a few more degrees to make much more useful sand. Potentially labor free.

I was wondering about that, because table salt is pure salt deletion. How the hell you get sand from salt? I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
