Water naturally supercompressing?

[amas]

Somehow I got a tile with 24t of water in it. I dumped a big body of water in an existing pool and somehow gas got trapped within the pool and it's super compressing water. Don't know how useful this is, but it seems kinda neat.

The tile above has CO2 in it that's why it does it.

Be careful having an non-  insulated geyser that can produce uncapped can be very dangerous for the temperature of you’re base and then there’s the chance that the co2 moves thus causing a minor explosion.

Yeah I saw that gas was trapped in the water. Though it's Chlorine and Natural Gas.

Thanks for the heads-up! I will build a chamber of Insulated Tiles around it.

I use a trick like this all the time to deal with my geysers.  I'll attach a link to an image.  I find it very useful, as I no longer have to keep massive pools of water..  I don't think I have ever seen it in nature before though. That image requires study to determine why it works so well... As I understand, the water has gas under it so it should have nothing preventing it from displacing the gases.  I would like an explanation of this.  I can never keep gases underwater like this.

It’s important to understand the fluid exclusion principle for situations like this.

 

Tiles in ONI can only ever have 1 type of fluid (gas or liquid) in them. So, if you have even a single gram of carbon dioxide, it will occupy a whole tile unless it can find another tile of carbon dioxide to merge with.

 

These gas tiles generally displace liquid above them and rise to the surface of the liquid, but if there is no surface, or if the surface is a gas the bubble can’t displace, they get caught. If you have several gasses, you can create a gas bubble stack that no fluid can enter.

 

This won’t stop liquids from dripping down through the gas tiles, since dripping  liquids never actually occupy the intervening tiles. With nowhere to go, the dripping liquid compresses in the lower tiles.
