TOO MUCH WATER


Recommended Posts

Help me, I got too much water & it keeps growing (from the geyser). I have 4 electrolizers and its enough to keep the base full of oxygen. I can't put distilled water anywhere and polluted water tank will be full soon. What should I do? Put more electrolizers? I've thought of that but it consumes power, and i don't have max power all the time.

(and i can't reach water)

 

(also i have a small overheating problem with those thermo regulators) (i'm using them because the entire base is 40-45 degrees) (is wheezelworts a solution?)

Any tips?

 

eyy klei, have you thought of making water --> electric? pls like a turbine or something that consumes water and give electric, pls

1. close off the steam geyser area, it will only produce as much water/steam as you consume if it is closed off.

2. pump the water from the geyser area directly to your electrolyzers, use abyssalite pipes so they don't heat up your base

3. close off the regulators with abyssalite tiles and put weezeworts directly next to them. fill that room with hydrogen

4. use automation to turn on/off your regulators based on the gas temp you want to cool and the gas temp in their closed off area. you generally don't want them to heat up their area more than 90C

5. your water tank is overflowing. first make space for a bigger tank or just start dumping some of the water (top 5 tiles) to a different area.

6. cool your hot water tank with the help of ice/snow for a short term solution: put storage on the ground of your tank and start filling it with a bit of ice and snow. don't fill them too much! Then disable the storage so the ice gets dropped on the ground. The ice will melt over time and create new water tiles, Cooling your whole tank.

7. A long term solution for cooling water is to use an aquatuner with automation. Seal it off like the regulators and put wheezeworts next to it. Use automation to control the temp in the sealed off area and the water tank.

As clickrush mentioned geyser will stop making more water when over-pressured at 5kg+

So you can put them in closed areas and when they are under water they stop. Use pump made from gold as water temperature will go to more then 75C.

(that on the right I am not yet using and it is no more producing any water)

hydrogen is easy to get through electrolyzers and it has a high termal conductivity, meaning it will transfer heat very fast. A sealed off hydrogen room with both heat generators (regulators/aquatuners) and heat destroyers (entropy thing/wheezeworts) will even out the temperature quickly so the heat destroyers can easily keep up with the generated heat of the cooling devices.

Actually the main reason is that hydrogen has a higher heat capacity. Since wheezeworts always cool gases by 5 degrees Celsius, using them with gases with a higher heat capacity makes them more efficient at cooling.

Yeah more or less! First I'd just test it to see if it does what you want. My thoughts:

doors and heavy wire bridges are conductive. You can avoid the doors by placing 3 abyssalite tiles in front of them and the bridge by using regular wires. As soon as you've set this up correctly you will never have to go in there again anyways. I don't believe you need that many wheezeworts but it if you have that many to spare then why not.

I usually leave a bit of space in between everything so I haven't personally tested this with such a tight placement.

I can't see if the piping is paralell or serial. If it is serial then you probably rather want to combine the termal sensors either by just using one or by using AND/OR gates. I personally use the termal sensor to steer the pump/shutoff valve that leads into the cooling system rather than the regulators themselves, and then I combine that signal with the one that determines wether I want to cool or not (for example the room temperature of my base).
