Zynox Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 So on my 4th run and getting use to the game, at about cycle 120 I completely ran out of sand. I was using the sand for 3 water purifiers and a few air deodorizers. With no sand I'm starting to run out of water fast. So my question is, how do I fix this issue? I don't see any more sources for sand and are there better ways to make clean water? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamjam Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well, I wouldn't say there are BETTER ways ... but there are other ways. If you can manage to evaporate contaminated water, the steam will condense into clean water. Some people direct their contaminated water into a pool of magma and allow the steam to pass through gas permeable tiles into a tank. Another way to do it is to build a huge battery bank and pump your water into the room with the batteries. The heat from the batteries won't be as effective as the magma, obviously, but you won't have to pump water so far away from your colony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilda Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've tried the batteries yesterday and they just don§t have enough heatgen. Hydrogen generator seems more promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elviraa Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 As Vilda suggested a steam room might be a path you shot for in the next base. A few us have been taking crakcs at trying to set up an effective one. See: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
