Mcleane Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I have seen this misconception often and beileved it myself till i spent 4 hours figuring it out last night. Gas vents are not overpessurised by the surrounding air but what is being pump into them I.E. if more than 100g of air is being pumped into them at one time they will become overpressurised. At the moment at least all vents should be attached to a gas valve to reduce input flow to the correct ammount. However I hate vents with a passion especially after spending 4 hours trying to get them to work correctly I don's suggest you use them even if Electrolyzers are the most effeicient way to get O2 currently.

Tamber Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I solved my overpressure vent issues by having more than one vent on the pipe. Seems the pipe can handle more throughput than a single vent can exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octyabr Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I have overpressurised vents that never been in use, once built they overpressurise shortly afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwerks Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I've had over pressurized vents not attached to anything but pipes. I generally only ever use them to try to regulate temperature rather than move oxygen around though. Valves can be a little dodgy with loss of liquids/gases right now (I believe). Trying to find an efficient way to cool room temperature is a challenge in this game. At least it is for me. I kind of like the way Rimworld handled it a little better. Just set desired temperature on the machine and it will use the power it needs to maintain that temperature. Trying to determine how many machines you need to reach a desired temperature then hoping that number doesn't change is a little messier. But I digress....

Tribal1511 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 i have noticed in my own games that once they do overpressurize saving and reloading will clear that message it seems and they will work fine once again as long as a valve is connected to the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risu Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It's just a UI bug. When vents enter idle state they don't reset the status items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
