Better early radbolt collection with power?

Thanks for the sunlight solution, just means I have to keep digging up and down like I did in the past. 

Up for the energy of sunlight, down for oil for my plastic.

Here's my rig right now. I'll be trying to raise it higher when I get it closer to space so the vacuum can erase gases.

"Erasing gases" will melt the radbolt generator quicker...

So what do I do...?

It will cool down just fine between the two wheezeworts if you have a medium pressure of 1000g-2000g of oxygen and surrounding medium temperatures 20-30C. Why do you need it to be in vacuum? (encasing the build in insulated tiles doesn't help either...It will heat up quicker)

My current setup, 170 cycles since it was built

*There were some... minor "radbolts to the head" incidents so I made the generator shoot diagonally up like some builds by others did  
No dupe has a reason to go between the generator and the materials study terminal but... I know there will still be a smart dupe that will try it at some point...

Radioactive contaminants will not hurt your dupes if that's what you are afraid of. You could counter them using buddy buds that produce floral scent germs instead but it is not necessary.

Also, radbolt generators are power hungry. It would be better to have a stable power source and put them on a separate wire (if you are only using regular wires) connected to your main power source through a power transformer. Radbolt generators don't stop working and they always consume 480w. If they ever stop working, they will lose rapidly all radbolts they collected.

to avoid hydrogen leakage.

[sakura_sk]

You will need some kind of gas pressure above 1000g in that room. If you want to isolate hydrogen somewhere else, you could put oxygen in there. Hydrogen was suggested because it has better Specific Heat Capacity (SHC) and wheezeworts will cool the atmosphere more efficiently.

okay, I got confused earlier. Someone said that gases are bad for the room. Guess I'll remove the air pump out of the room then.

lol I am such a noob in Spaced Out

I had no idea that you cann get radiation from Wheezeworths.

I have ended up building solutions around sunlight and previously from Sunbugs.

Anyway - it did work.

 

Well it's pretty good way to make radiation, at least it was, now after few last updates shine bugs outputs less radiation compared to what was before.

 

And I'm kind of disappointed in this topic, because everyone talking only about wheezworts... And in SO there is starting world's with no wheezies at all. And there are beetas which can be fed CO2 and fall asleep and while they sleep they outputs a lot of radiation... Best way is to keep your radbolt generator some place lower than the hive, and always in CO2, and if there is uranium nearby your radbolt generator, then eventually beetas will come and fall asleep right next to your radbolt generator. As for numbers, one sleeping beauty - beety can generate up to 140 radbolts cycle, but in usual hive you will have 3 mature and 2 young beetiny, beetiny give three times less of radiation and only have 2 tiles range. So it's not resources wise to spend your CO2 on baby's sleep. It's best to arrange your CO2 pit/rad-generation where only mature beetas can come, then eventually you will have 3 beetas by your generator giving you something between 300 and 400 radbolts per cycle.

It should be possible to make the room vertical so sleeping beetas always sleep in a predictable place. Then pump CO2 into the room whenever beetas mature to collect radbolts. There should be some creative design options to handle that.

well, there is allot other solutions as-well, @minespatch decided use those at beginning like you see that in his first post

there is shine bugs, there is satellites, there is a sun, there is a reactor, now there is also dupes. they all produce radiation

I went to combin wheezeworts with shinebugs and that really helped.
