NurdRage Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 For those of us that couldn't watch the stream live, what's the jist of the water tank challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The map started on the first cycle as normal with no research complete. Next to the starting printing pod there are two swimming pools made of neutronium (so you can't pierce the walls). One pool is full of water, the other is empty. The goal was to empty the full pool using any means necessary before the end of the 10th cycle.

midjones Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Attempted to do this using only steam, by heating the water beyond 99 degrees celcius. After 24 cycles, finally heated all of the water up to 85 degrees until I realized that liquid tepedizers only let you heat up to 85 degrees (max temperature).

midjones Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Got it done at the start of cycle 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midjones Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Okay I'm never going to do any better than this -- 4th cycle with no cheats. After playing with many build patterns over several hours I don't think I can improve on it any further. Pushed the water upwards using tiles. Strategy: - made all the ceiling sand fall into the bottom of the pit - pushed all the water upwards using tiles from bottom-up - storage container nearby for storing only sandstone building materials, set to priority 4 so they'll only put things in when there isn't something more important to do - ignore oxygen production and food generation, there's enough of both for 6 cycles - found that building 3 vertical lanes downward was the most efficient, as each dupe could work asynchonously in their own lane (no waiting on a single dupe to finish a ladder or tile before proceding, etc) - found that climbing downwards with zig-zagging tiles instead of ladders was much more efficient, for two reasons: a) no need to deconstruct ladders when filling from bottom-side back upwards to top, time saver b) dupes were able to reach all the way to the bottom using zig-zag tiles method, whereas with ladder the bottom-most tiles were unreachable until enough water was first cleared.

NanoD Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 ok I done it to in 4 cycles How I did it was I did use pitcher pumps and force the dupes to drop the bottles. and then I displace the bottles with tiles. until they ended in the other tank. and then empty them all at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Also made a displacement run in under 4 cycles but displacement seems to lose a lot of water so I consider it cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midjones Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It can also be done in 9 cycles using 4 pumps with independent pipe lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midjones Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Also got it done in 8 cycles using an auto-bottler-only design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xadhoom Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Autobottling only, 7.5 cycles. wanted to try keep a short run distance at all times, think i could have optimized a bit better still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll go well into cycle 9 before you've mopped the floors and emptied the last water bottles. From what we can see in the picture there's at least half a cycle of work to be done still.

And after that you need to mob the floors on your emptying ramps, and those need to be empty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
