Please add (Storage Tanks)


Recommended Posts

You can sort of build them.  Myself and friends do.  Insulated storage tanks or similar combined with pumps and filters allow us to compress gases into banks for dispersion or storage.  I dont have any screenies of mt experiment build, alas.  But it was a row of tanks to store liquid and frozen gases.  Alas buggy frozen gasses made it problematic at this time.

In future, if there is more things that require gas like the hydrogen generator, I wouldnt mind a gas compression station that generates bottles of gas versus just running ducts everywhere.  One drawback to that system I mentioned is there was a floor level reserved just for the piping.  Compressed gas cylinders dupes can haul would be very handy for outposts and refueling suits

So if you look at some of the game screenshots on the steam store page you can see liquid and gas storage containers and I am assuming that they are still working out the kinks and the storage will be patched in eventually. In the meantime i have found an great way to store gas. A normal gas chamber can store 1.5 kg of gas per space until vents overpressurize. But when the vent is OP then the gas backs up in the pipe at 10kg per pipe section. So i snaked the pipes leading to the vent essentially increasing each block of space in the tank from 1.5kg to 11.5kg of storage. making the tank in the attached image worth 6-7x its size.
