DonDegow Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hello everyone, Here's my design to store unwanted gases (or you could make a bank out of a wanted gas in case you need it for further use), it is applicable to ANY gas as of right now. Witness the power of pipe deconstruction! Cycle 111 : approx. 16kg Chlorine stored (you can see that the chlorine all around will be stored) Cycle 113 : approx. 56kg Chlorine stored, 20 tiles worth of a gas can be stored each cycle. The idea behind it is really basic; 1 - Use pumps + filters to pipe your gas to a vent in a staircase fashion. 2 - Wait for the vent to overpressure and the pipes to fill each with 1kg of the desired gas. 3 - Deconstruct the filled pipes and reconstruct them afterward. 4 - Repeat from step 2. What do you guys think of it? NB : You might want to use greater distances than I did between start of staircase and filters as it will interrupt the flow of other gas storages otherwise when it's (quickly) full. EDIT : You obviously can make the staircase as long as you want to deconstruct/reconstruct less often, but that kinda go against the point of storing great quantities of gas in a small space.

Elrail Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think a automated freezer is better decision because how many personal attention needed for that "Easiest" way. :^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickPay Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Its a neat trick you found. Basically exploiting the displacement of gases. So every time you rebuild a pipe it compresses the gas in the remain space. I wonder if they won't fix that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Why not just have a traditional gas store box? The trick to getting the valves not pressurize is to just not building the side tiles until last and put in an algae terrarium. Deconstruct it. Empty the water bottle left behind, select the bottom tile and priority and wait to eanble until the vent stop showing the overpressure sign. I normally put in a gas pump in case I need the stored gas later. In this case it's my hydrogen buffer tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDegow Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 @Elrail Well at some point you just don't have much to do, this is an occupation More seriously, it doesn't consume close to the amount of power required to cool hydrogen in order to cool other gases, it's super simple to setup and applicable to any gas, even hydrogen. And the plus side, it's unlimited storage, liquefaction is super cool to witness but at the end takes up some space. @PickPay It's even simpler than that, when you deconstruct a pipe, 1kg of gas is released in the contained space, that's it. @Saturnus Yes Saturnus, this is way more convenient but my guess is vent not overpressuring in small amount of water (just like morbs do) is something that might be fixed so quickly that I didn't want to bother with it (next update imo).

And you think that the exploit of deconstructing and reconstructing the inled gas pipes won´t? But honestly. I don't think the vent not overpressurizing will be fixed any time soon as that would require rework of a large part of the code. It's far more likely that the deconstruct/reconstruct exploit you're using will be removed as that requires far less work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDegow Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well, when you think about it, how to fix that? The most brutal way is to not allow a player to deconstruct if a pipe contains something but that would be a real mess for ergonomy and player experience so no. The diagonal deconstruct will sure be fixed but it's harder to do the same with water sealed areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The easiest "fix" to the vent not overpressurizing problem is simply to add another building: Pressure one-way valve, which allows less throughput but allows (almost) unlimited pressurization. Of course, it would be nice if that was accompanied by a mechanism that would actually liquefy a gas over it's liquefation point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafara Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 hmm ... it's EASY because we don't need any liquid to force open Gas Vent. opt for construction site btw, Do gas no longer seep diagnally from Tile corner ? lasttime I try edgeless gas wall, Oxygen do seep out VERY SLOWLY from tile corner. (It happen when inner atmosphere is over 1000g). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
