Vincie Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Well... Metalurgy in this game is pretty unrealistic. What I suggest is: Cu is a metal, that we can find in pure state in nature, so leave it this way - it's a starting thing anyway. Gold is an amalgam with mercury, so it should desire distillation in a special distillery. Iron is an oxide, so we should reduce it with coal. This way it would get more useful, because I nearly never use coal generators. It should produce CO2 in realistic quantities, so air scrubbers would be basically essentia. Wolframite is (Fe,Mn)WO4. It means we need to electrolyse the molten salt. Tunsten is an extremly resilient metal and both with iridium from oxylite (that should be left after it dissolving (that would much higher oxylite density for the same oxygen emission) could be use in a special station to build supertools, that would enable twice as fast work. Or this alloy could be used for nearly indestuctible machinery. Those reactions could use a new chemicall station. Maybe it could use chlorine as well, so we could have a way to utilise it? Iroin is hard, so it should be forged into iron components befor usage (in a forge). Those few features would really make the gameplay much more demanding and I would love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skasto Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I do not want to spam but do you know Factorio? I like to play it and has a good processing system. Take a look and maybe you have good idea..... What could be used in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincie Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 I ate my teeth, playing factiorio, I know every little feature by heart and desingn new setups, while riding the train. Thing is, I can see it not in ONI, ONI seems to me to be about realism in terms of physics and hopefully, one day, chemistry. And I would love to see more diversed machinery one day - every piece of machinery doing it's own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoarion Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Now that I am playing in magma, there is alot more to the metalurgy, granted so far I cant really do anything with them yet but I have found pure gold without the mercury (which has a thermal conductivity of 60, the highest in the game so far) and pure Phosphorus without the sedimentary rock that phosphorite has in it (which has a melting point of 44 degrees so the game called it a liquid and you may be able to pump fertilizers straight to your pincha pepper plants making your hydroponics fully automated) and I am sure to find more as i open more magma pockets. I hope to figure out how to smelt lower temperature melting point metals using the magma, things like gold amalgam have a lower melting point than that of the magma at 1400- 1570 degrees c so I am sure I will figure it out in a few days.

BlueLance Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Can you currently build using actual Gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoarion Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The game says it can be used for power systems however when I go to try to build something with it, pure gold does not show up as a usable resource. I only have 100kg atm tho, however that thermal conductivity of 60 has me hoping they fix that soon. The highest other thermal conductivity that I know of is only a 4.
