Bloxxed Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 This is my cistern. In the upper left, four natural gas generators running 100%. Just below those, a drip-cooling apparatus; this no longer runs at 100% because the system is "primed". All of the sewage is a chilly 14*F (-10*C [263.15K for nerds]). Sewage makes great coolant. In fact, I constantly drip-cool four natural gas generators' wastewater with cold sewage, causing a positive feedback loop of decreasing temperature. Nifty. But who cares about temperature? I only want to prevent my cistern from overflowing - it's already coming close. I need a reasonably quick solution to my long-term problem. Oh, wait. thimble reeds do. Brr! I could stop pumping in wastewater from a swampy region, but that pool of water is what is blocking my access to the oil pockets. I could stop running natural gas generators, sure, but coal takes duplicant labor. I could dig a deeper basin at the price of compromising my oh so aesthetically pleasing symmetry. So far I am leaning towards the coal solution, but I'd like to get a few different perspectives on this. I also have a design that uses airlock doors to compress fluids, but I have no idea how to implement it without compromising symmetry. I do love it when my base fits snugly into a perfect rectangle, but I am willing to accept the fact that this may not be possible.

Lifegrow Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Use some sand, purify it, feed to bristle blossoms and give your dupes some nice food for Christmas?

The problem with this is the fixed output temperature of the sieve, but thinking over it, this may work because of the water "storage" inside of the machine affects temperature. At this point, I have decided to use automated airlock doors to condense my sewage for PO2 production.

trukogre Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Just build an intercolony piping system and ship it to this guy: You can probably extort some diamonds out of him for the dirty water, I'd wager.

Cool the farm by piping sewage through it before it gets to the sieve.
