CantBreathe Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Our dupes are suffering sopping wet debuff because pools are the only way to secure rooms from gas mixing. Airlocks (even 5 in a row) don't prevent gasses from passing through. Oxygen gets into my fridge room, or the CO2 escapes out. Currently mech airlocks have no reason to be powered. Could we have powered airlocks truly prevent gas escape? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 There are a few ways how to build an airtight airlock without stressing your duplicants. Replacing water with CO2 is one option. Creating vacuum between two doors is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x4550 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 RIP the door exploit D= This (co2 lock) seems to work. Although, someone please tell me, is the PO2 in my mushroom farm coming from the slime fertilizer? If so, just... grrrrrrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it's coming from slime your duplicants are carrying to the room. Planters shouldn't release polluted oxygen if slime is deposited in them (...anymore. They used to and it was a nightmare). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueV Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Make a vacuum room that filters gases between two zones. You can transition from the liquid lock to a proper airlock using a pump and filter once you have a good source of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummbar7 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Anymore, I only use *just enough* powered fridges to store enough food for my dupes. With meal lice being the only food you need, it's not hard, and there's really no need to store thousands of kg of excess food. I know some people like that though. If you gotta have it your most maintenance-free way will just be to build a very vertically oriented CO2 pit, so that nothing else can really get down into it. Have the entrance at the top left - the natural down-and-rightward movement of CO2 will keep it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevio Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've been even more extreme in my game. The starting food box next to the printer is still my main food storage. The only other food storage I have built is a food box next to a med bed. My mealwood farm produces a continuous surplus so just set part of the farm to not-harvesting to avoid too much overproduction. The rest of the farm's production seems to replenish my food stores fast enough that food spoilage isn't a problem at all, it just means extra fertilizer. Or perhaps I should get rid of my compost and store the polluted dirt in my Puft room to augment slime and algae production... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluxFaraday Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I don't use doors because they still destroy gas. Well, except to destroy CO2 or Cl2 when I'm feeling cheaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 My airlocks are working fine,they even show the Vacuum background, I have 4 of the electric doors, one on each end are Vertical whilst the other two are horizontal, the horizontal ones are where the vacuum background is.
