Hydrogen Crystal Thermal Displacement Device

Starting a thread for something that has been known and used for most people for over a week. Why?

Because no one has actually included the building's name in their thread title.  You can't fault someone for failing to search for an existing topic when the search yields no matching results.

Shows up in 8 threads when I search for name, one thread even has the title "Hydrogen Crystal Thermal Displacement to cold".

Search -> This Forum for "Hydrogen Crystal Thermal Displacement" only returns TC's thread.  I don't think it's fair to jump on someone for not combing through the additional search options or trying various permutations of the building's name.

They did include the name in their thread title, and then Klei changed the name.When an update has been out for a week it's a 99.9% chance that it's been discovered.  All he had to do was look at the first few pages of the forum and look for anything related to cooling, he would have found it in under a minute.

Come on guys. He post a bug and all what you do is => "Call the police, he has posted a bug, that is known for a week" Come on! :? I have also posted a few times a bug, and yes, he was known. Happens. A day later I found a new one and no one knows it. Maybe u should tell him to use the bugtrakcer to post bugs or similar things, instead of be a police officer :D

Where do you see the bug he/she supposedly reported? All the OP did was make a thread saying: "see this new thing I found" when it's one of the things that is discussed in the original automation update release thread. This thread is pointless.

And pointing it out is less pointless because...

What does the Hydrogen Crystal Thermal Displacement do?

It receives a tiny amount of hydrogen (10g/s) and horribly colds the area around it, you can make solid CO2 with it (among other things).

It can be used to pretty much clean up all your CO2 and Chlorine, since both become solid at the temperatures it can reach, if it happens to become a block instead of an item drop you can just mine it, could probably also help reduce the power consumption of many other cooling systems.

 

Edit - yeah it would kind of be a waste of CO2, but I suppose you can also use it to cool down liquids/gasses to cool down your base.

Pre-cooling PO2 before liquefying it. Or making methane (liquid natural gas). Both are good uses.

I have a fantasy of liquifying all gasses as a method of mass storage, maybe this will make it possible, I have changed a lot on how I play so I am actually lasting longer and trying new things haha, I would love to have liquid natural gas, and store a massive amount of it since I don't use it yet as a source of power. YET!

Exactly. I see a lot of people just mindlessly burning of natural gas to make high power system when they don't really need it. Instead what you could do is use the battery sensor set up I posted a while ago and only use what you need. And then store excess from the geysers for when you need it.

Thats what I plan to do, I currently run my base about 90% Hydrogen and 10% coal, I leave the hydrogen burning non stop and it is enough to slow the drain on the batteries considerably, and once the batteries get low enough a dupe fills my coal generator and it tops it up to nearly full.

What I would like to do is like you said, Store excess large amounts of gas etc preferably in a liquid form for the higher concentrations, and use it as I need it or want to expand etc.

What I´m doing now I set up sensors on high demand systems to open valves with the exact amount it needs to run.

The rest gets stored.

And run the generators on an estimated average. carbon generator turn on once a few cycles.

I'd say the main benefit the device has over wheezeworts is that it doesn't destroy the gases that it is cooling.
Obviously spending hydrogen but that isn't being used for cooling itself.

So in a sense it is destroying gases. Just selectively and reliably. .D

Do you have any more details on the wheezewort gas destruction? I recall reading it had something to do with save/reload...

Mostly related to a gas trying to be added into a high concentration of another gas. It loses the battle.
