GuyPerfect Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I dismantled a Polymer Press because I was done with the Petroleum and wanted to retrieve the remaining Plastic from it. In the debris, I noticed something odd: a bottle of Steam: I understand why it's there, but it raises an interesting design question: shouldn't that turn into Water? The broader question is this: what's going on with bottled gases? You can tell a Duplicant to empty them, but you can't move them. In this specific case, it's also preventing a state change that will happen immediately once its contents are released. I'm sure it's on the to-do list, but cases like this make me wonder exactly how things might wind up getting implemented mechanically. Is there really a need for gas bottles? In my mind, the leftover Steam was going to immediately enter the environment, but of course I should have predicted the bottle instead. Are there any situations where a bottle is more appropriate than simply releasing the contained gases? I can understand the environmental convenience, such as keeping those 200 Kg of Oxygen contained when you take down an Exosuit Dock with a fully-charged Atmo Suit in it, but part of me thinks there's got to be a better way.

Tasolth Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I would love to see craftable gas bottles and /or bottler system.Also a compressed storage for them other than high pressure "rooms" for either the gas or in liquid / solid form. Not necessary by any stretch, but a 'would be nice' system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialLolicon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 If bottling liquid is allowed, it wouldn't be a surprise to have bottled gas. Such things exist, but I can't find a good reason why actually. Maybe a place to drop bottled gas? That would nice since I'm always getting bottled Hydrogen from deconstructing Hydrogen Gens.

PhailRaptor Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 A bigger question... when you dig up a Weezewort, it leaves a bottle (or 2) of gas behind. Where does the bottle come from? It's a plant!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have some troubles dealing with PO2 bottles left over from destroying deodorizers in my base after removing all polluted oxygen. So I would also like to have "place to drop bottled gas" as now I can't move those bottles out of my base other then drop them down by gravity.
