CPT-Squirrel Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I came across this just a few minuets ago. I was trying to melt about 6 containers of Ice and snow, with little to no luck. From what I read online, that delay was caused by me trying to "Warm" 20 tons of Ice. I set the containers to only store 100 Kg of Ice and in less than 5 seconds the storage containers emptied!!!!! I messed with a bunch of different max store settings on the storage containers to limit the Dups visits to once per day per container and ended up with 850Kg. Anyways I hope this helps others who are trying to harvest ice!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I tend to set the payload size to 650 - this is as much as one dupe can carry - or at least the usual. Other times I will set the container payload to 2000. It took one full container 70 cycles to finally melt, but it was glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oozinator Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I use icemelting everytime. Very nice to regulate geysir temperatures with that. When i need quick water and no decrase in temperature, i use 200KG max. in every locker. I don't use it on a geysir, when far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGCat Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Melting polluted Ice is much easier than normal ice. And why the hell melts the polluted ice at -20,6C and the normal ice +1C ? Curios! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leoladoudou Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Poluted water contains not only water : it is normal it does not freeze at 0. However, -20,6 is a bit too far, but it's still normal physics. (Same thing with alcohol : vodka contains water and does not freeze at 0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgtyatsss Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Ice is not ice ofc but im pretty sure he is not talking about dry ice also. Salted water is a good example which freezes around -21 C. I gues what you miss is if you freeze it at -21 C you will start melting it at -21 C aswell. water not turning pure when it freezes so no, ice is not ice always, just like water it can contain dissolved material. there is a point they miss tho, as its not pure it wont stay at -21C while melting meaning it wont be all water when its -20 C but it will keep melting until 0C slowly.. its all about purity numbers re correct but the physics re messed up.

Salted water freezes at -21C if by salted water you mean water that's saturated with salt; that's 8x saltier than seawater, or about 23% salt by mass. The real point here is that polluted water shouldn't be modeled as having 23% contaminants, because when you purify it only about .1% contaminants boil out.

Kermack Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Devs need to just go ahead and implement an ice melting machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the only difference it would make, is that instead of an instant load of water, we could get tap water. BTW, vovik's idea with ice sculptures is really cool () and simple!
