[video] Simple way to make a vertical liquid lock / airlock

[GhostEcho]

I was experimenting with how to create a vertical liquid lock (or superior water lock as it is called in the wiki) and all suggestions and tutorials I found involved a lot of mopping near the place where you build the lock. Which I don't really like.

So I found a way to separate the mopping from the construction, and made a video tutorial for this.

 

Let me know what you think, is this useful?

Nice. I've used this trick with naphtha to get max size droplets for single tile liquid locks, but hadn't considered using it for stacked liquid locks.

Another useful trick is to pour the bottle emptier down a staircase to create lots of droplets at once.

nice. As usual I'm doing this one (with vacuum in the middle):

Can this bottle trick be used to make a three tile tall jump lock?

yes but you need add  tile to bottom, you may try without that but it may fail sometimes.

you can destroy bottom tiles after that when all liquid is added

same way you can make also 4 tile lock if needed, just add another tiles to bottom

Soggy feet takes effect still unless you do a jump 3 tile high
