devblazer Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Ignore this post, I have abandoned this design, thanx for all the great comments. Hi all, looking for thoughts on my current polluted water de-germer design. Also any problems, etc, you can think off. I know you can build a smaller one with germ sensors, but with my playstyle I take a while to get to plastic. For clarification, the circuit is set up so that the 'current' tank is full and holding germed water in the chlorine environment to kill germs, while the previous tank is draining and then next tank is filling. As soon as the 'next' tank is full, it will switch over to that one as the 'current tank' and repeat. It will cycle through all 3 tanks like this continuously. Essentially, each tank at minimum will spend at least one rotation undisturbed in the chlorine environment, which should be enough time to kill any amount of germs possible.

Saturnus Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Or you can use the tried and tested method that requires no automation, no power, no special materials of any kind, and has full pipe flow rate at 10kg/s. https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/152495-water-purificator/?do=findComment&comment=1680522 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/153160-polluted-water-de-germer-design-proposal-abandoned/#findComment-1687314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
squanter187 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 this seems extremely over complicated.... just fill the space with chlorine, have two or 3 tanks hooked up sequentially (one empties where other is full).... just DO NOT use liquid bridges- there is a 'bug' in this 'feature' where if you have a water bridge across a pipe, pipe is no longer 'surrounded by gas' and wont disinfect the liquid inside btw- why is this still in the game? its the most abused exploit, we should have a building that does it by now... but yeh critter fountain (w/e it is) was very much needed Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/153160-polluted-water-de-germer-design-proposal-abandoned/#findComment-1687321 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnus Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 There's mods for that but in the base game, yeah, completely redundant to disinfect your water supply. Doesn't mean we didn't perfect the technique years ago when germs actually did matter.

Charletrom Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I use a single reservoir with a door underneath it and a liquid shutoff. Each is controlled by its own cycle timer. Room is filled with chlorine. I like this setup purely for size reasons. Throughput is far less than 10kg/s.

tuxii Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 You were on the right track. I made a video about a similar build; the dGerm. It used to be that this was the best way to kill germs, but it's so much easier with radiation now. Radiation Lamps can kill a lot of germs with just a little uranium ore.

Orzelek Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I also kill all the germs (usually with radiation - shine bugs even) but thats also more OCD atm I think.
