asveron Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Is it just me, or has something changed with natural gas geyser temperature of the speed in which pumps heat up or something? I can no longer leave a gold almagam pump in a 4x4 chamber around a natural gas geyser. It'll overheat now. It used to not overheat in all my previous experiences. Do you guys make bigger room or cool it down before it gets pumped now?

trukogre Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I usually make a 5x5 room and it's fine, I make sure to make the walls out of noninsulated granite and keep the area around the room reasonably cool though, so then that keeps the interior of the room cold enough.

MidnightSteam Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Oh yeah, they overheat now after a few cycles. Not sure if they were always like that or it just started recently. Happened in the last upgrade too. So I've done something like this: Fill the top room with hydrogen Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/84457-natural-gas-geysers-overheat-gold-amalgam-gas-pump-now/#findComment-975973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townkill Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 IIRC, It started after the oil upgrade. just dont use abyssalite on every side and it should be fine Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/84457-natural-gas-geysers-overheat-gold-amalgam-gas-pump-now/#findComment-975998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I ran into this a while back, just before the oil update, when I built abysallite walls around the natural gas geyser. My solution was to replace the walls with granite and stick a wheezewort in there. Yeah, the natural gas geyser gets a lot hotter than the steam geyser.

chemie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 So that fixes the pump but what about the sensor? Seems they all overheat at 50C? What do I use to put a sensor in a hot spot? Never mind. I misread +50C overheat to mean absolute and not additive Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/84457-natural-gas-geysers-overheat-gold-amalgam-gas-pump-now/#findComment-976160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys make bigger room or cool it down before it gets pumped now? It's been like this since OU - I normally just leave a 2-3 tiles as granite when i'm capping it with the usual abyssalite tiles, seems to give it enough to keep it cool. Also, make sure you avoid dropping the air pressure too low - set your pumps on atmo switches.

tecnix Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 this is my setup, one or two wheezewort (i use two), the pump with gold amalgan, all that space with granite tempshift plate, thermo sensor below 20 celsius and the atmo sensor to 1 kg, abyssalite around all thats space Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/84457-natural-gas-geysers-overheat-gold-amalgam-gas-pump-now/#findComment-976200 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In "lategame", the map is more cooling down, then heating up. Some "free" heat is nice. ^^ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/84457-natural-gas-geysers-overheat-gold-amalgam-gas-pump-now/#findComment-976214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
