Pedro_L Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 i don't know how many times my plans were foiled because oxygen got into the steam chamber, but they shouldn't since Oxygen has a higher molar mass than H2O and therefore should sink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Wait wasn`t that fixed recently? Or am i imagining. I`m almost sure i saw somewhere that they changed oxygen to sink below steam just to fix the steam turbine issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pether Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 A month ago I still had this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been fixed, then that fix was reverted I guess because the devs decided that it should neither "make sense" nor be more convenient for the player.

nyonyonyo Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 No. We need oxygenated steam. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bug in Spaced Out! that made Steam lighter than Oxygen and Natural Gas (and broke some setup in the process) and that was fixed a few months later. I don't have the time to dig through patch notes, but Steam being lighter was acknowledged as a bug. The part that "Oxygen sink below Steam to make Turbine setup easier" was pure speculation from the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of complaining about how things have always been in the released or non-testing branch game then account for it. If there's a chance you can have oxygen or hydrogen inside the steam room, build an oxygen trap. You can delete the oxygen with corner building or set something up to delete gas that is lighter than steam manually if it's a recurring issue. Here's examples of how you build it.

Partly beacause i don`t usually use steam turbines too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurdRage Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Delete the oxygen inside the chamber. Create a liquid bead former with the incoming turbine water at the top of the chamber using an air tile and a mesh tile. There MUST be at least one more empty tile below for space. As the water comes in, it'll delete any oxygen that happens to be in front. It doesn't delete the steam as it'll just push the steam into adjacent tiles.

avc15 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 One way you can make steam turbine builds much more fail safe, is by building them in a place where you can vent the steam chamber to space. A couple specific failsafes have been shown here, for this specific problem. But, mine is a general failsafe: a door on the side of the steam chamber leading to space.

Just as a little question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
