Male_zvire Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi, how i can improve production of polluted water? Actually, all polluted water from my base is consumed to produce Natural gas and electricity (im on cycle 500+ and i can't find any NG geyser). My consumption is bigger than production - so my dupes must time by time dig trought swamp biomes and pump extra PW from here... My actual PW production: 8dupes with toilets & showers and few NG generators. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacost Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just to make sure: You use lavatories not outhouses? Good production venues are: * Algae Distiller (Puft + Morb farm) * Mining polluted ice * CO2 skimmers * Consuming natural pockets of polluted water (toxic biome) You could also dig exploration shafts to find your geysers. Also setting up a Hatch-farm to produce coal from useless minerals can solve your power issues. This would make you independent from natural gas.

FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 You can change your water to polluted water quickly by a special design or force dups to shower constantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Male_zvire Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 OK guys, thanks for all tips I'll try to improve with those tips. @SamLogan: yep, 3 fertilizers for 1NG. But 1NG produce 67,5g/s of polluted water and 1 fertilizer consume about 150g/s of polluted water. Its about 382,5g/s of PW deficit. @R9MX4: thanks 4 link! Tons of usefull informations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolthulhu Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Petroleum generator produces 1.25kg/s. If you use up all the water from petroleum generator to make natgas, and then all the water from natgas gens to make more gas, you can run 9 fertilizer generators without any extra water input. If you don't mind exploits, you can make a perpetum mobile by heating crude oil into natural gas, then feeding the CO2 from generators to slicksters to get more oil than you put in.

In my humble opinion, heating crude oil into natural gas is not an exploit, but might be three. Tepidizer works without totally submerged. It's an exploit about submerged status recognition. Gas is hotter than tepidizer itself. It is due to the heat generation mechanism of machine. To cool the tepidizer and hot natural gas, some players, like me, use liquid drip. It is another exploit.

It's clearly outside the intent of developers when you realize it produces more than it consumes and can be scaled into arbitrarily huge number, limited only by slickster count in the world. Once properly set up, it completely wrecks any semblance of energy economy in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
