[Suggestion] Gas Container


Recommended Posts

now many here probably create separate rooms for their chlorine, Hydrogen, and other gasses. how about we add a gas Container that can Storage specific gasses, tho only one gas at a time. 
The Container Has a Gas Input and a Gas output so it can be connected to a hydrogen generator or something else. 

Why a Gas container? 

- Having a Gas Container can give players the option to expand further into different places.
- Could fix problems with Gas pumps that keep switching on and off because the current title block has a vacuum that way a certain gas can be stored.
- Back up plan for Oxygen.

How to get the gas container?

it would be a tier 3 upgrade that unlocks with the insulated wires, pipes. 

Wouldn't a Gas container break the game?

No. in my eyes a good way to balance the gas container would look like this:
- Gas Container can not Store more than 10Kg of a gas. which slightly equals a 3x3 tile space.
- Gas Container takes 4x2 blocks space.
- Gas Container Work a little bit like Batteries, they would leak Gas after a Certain while. with a slight difference. if a Container leaks, Bubbles would emit from the container similar to Toilets. Dupes can operate the Container then to fix the Container.
- The leaking Gas Starts off with a low volume like 15g/s which increases further up to 150g/s
- Containers start to leak every 3 Cyles. which means they need maintenance every 3 Cyles. the Emitting Gas increases by 30g/s every Cyle which means it takes a total of 6 Cyles until they hit the critical point. 

 

Let me know what you think of this idea and what your suggestions would be for this idea

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 the 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.
