Tolham Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 First, let me say that is a really fun game! Ok, now that I've been playing for a little while, I feel qualified to make first my gripe/suggestion. My colony has hydrogen everywhere. I'm trying to suck it out of the air to power a hydrogen generator, but the gas pumps are woefully inefficient at this task. I would basically need to put a gas pump on every other tile to properly get all the hydrogen. My suggestion: inverse gas vents, and a revamped gas pump. The gas pump should have an intake point and output point (like the gas filter), and, using an electric motor, it should push gas from the intake to the output. That way, we could conveniently place the inverse gas vents around the colony where there's heavy concentrations of hydrogen, plug those vents up to the input point on the pump, and then plug the pump's output to a generator.

AlexRou Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The bigger problem here is the fluid simulation and we as a community need to push for it. Without it many of the gas/liquid related suggestions would not be possible or even functional. There are many suggestions for things that are a result of bad fluid simulation and this is one of them. If fluids flow as you would expect it to then you wouldn't have a problem with hydrogen being all over the place.

Tolham Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Actually, I need to change my gripe/suggestion: Please nerf hydrogen. It is by far my worst problem, and battling it is so time consuming that I fall behind on dealing with all other problems. I have no issue scrubbing the air of carbon dioxide and contaminated oxygen, it is *only* hydrogen that gives me so much grief. Please, I really need a break here.

alcurad90 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hydrogen will go up in this game So just make a roof like "A" and you can build a pump on top of it Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/76366-there-needs-to-be-an-easier-way-to-suck-hydrogen-out-of-the-air/#findComment-887058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Use gas permeable tiles for floors to allow hydrogen pass through and collect at the top of the base. You can make a separate room for it there, then you need just one gas pump and filter. Another option is having separate chamber for your electrolyzer(s) but then you need to pump both hydrogen and oxygen out of it.

Airget Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Ya,Hydrogen is easy to handle, you just have to be aware that the weight of a gas will influence it's position in the "atmosphere" or in this case if it rises or falls. can't believe I didn't think of making an A roof, definitely a lot more efficient then using a straight line. Amusingly enough though I was working on making a V for polluted water and yet it never crossed my mind to do the reverse for gas lol.

tehMugwump Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 @Tolham, I suggested myself a bit back a 'furnace' type of pump that you could place anywhere you like and plumb INput and OUTput vents all around your base - much like my house is setup with an air IN vent and also a return vent in each room. It would also allow you to more easily move the vents around as needed rather than removing and replacing the huge pump each time. @Kasuha has a great pic though, of how Hydrogen floats to the top though. Several options.
