Quyzbuk Posted April 12, 2025 Share Posted April 12, 2025 And what did the vents spit out afterward? Was messing around on my first Frosty Pack colony (non Spaced Out), and saw upon completion that it would spit out different things depending on how hot the materials inserted were. So after unplugging the sealed vent and getting sulfur, I decided to use the hottest thing I had available to me, molten glass. Made a bunch of refiners above the pump and had it empty directly into it at ~1890 C. The vents spat out a variety of refined metals as well as some wolframite. Not much mind you, but it sated my curiosity at the time, even though I had noticed that the thermometer on the pump wasn't maxed out. So, has anyone bothered pumping anything hotter into it? I might sandbox it at some point, but if anyone has already done so in the interest of saving some time, what were your results? Anyone try some molten steel, niobium, or tungsten?

NewWorldDan Posted April 12, 2025 Share Posted April 12, 2025 I used molten uranium. I forget what the max temp is, but when you reach it, can get some rare resources. There was a post that went into more detail on this.

Quyzbuk Posted April 12, 2025 Author Share Posted April 12, 2025 I see, that might have some interesting practicality for certain RNG situations. How about the other end of the spectrum, anything for near absolute zero super coolant?

Nothing special for being too cool. So not much sense in it...

meekay Posted April 14, 2025 Share Posted April 14, 2025 The wikis have breakdowns of what gets output based on the temperature of the inputs. If you want to go arbitrarily hot, it is very easy to hook up a glass forge to it. Since the output is based on the average temperature of the inputs, you can mix molten glass with cold water and achieve any desired temperature between 0°C and ~1900°C. You need an input of 330°C to melt the lead plug on the one emitter.

Quyzbuk Posted April 14, 2025 Author Share Posted April 14, 2025 Well just in case anyone wanted (additional) confirmation for the extreme low, I loaded in a bunch of -270 C super coolant and the only unique thing I saw was random frozen ices.

It is not "unique" it is same kinds of waters you get always, but if you get them below freezing point it will be ices, if you get them above boiling point they will be steam and dirt/salt, heat it higher and dirt turns into sand, then salt into molten salt, then to gaseous salt. But it is same 320kg of salt water and 400kg of polluted water, just heated or frozen Also, there are no randomness in result. You get exactly same materials each time you use geothermal plant, spread evenly between pumps. 8% of material lost, 150°C added to cold liquid and removed from hot (below or above 1376.85 °C (1650K)) and exactly same materials in exactly same amount produced. Well, it may looks like something changed, for example because granite heated to 520°C became magma and freeze to igneous rock, but it is same granite just transformed by temperature Last useful effect for hot liquid appears at 2226.85 °C (2500K) spawning 3kg of Fullerene and 5 kg of Niobium (in addition to everything else) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/165314-whats-the-hottest-liquid-youve-put-into-the-geothermal-pump/#findComment-1814422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
