Help required: Heat building up in base


Recommended Posts

I an not sure whether that is the case. If my understanding is correct every packet is sucked up in the corresponding second of pumping. I.e. a packet cannot exceed the max input of the pump. This means that if a packet is above 500 g, than the pump sucked up more than 500 g of that particular gas. 

Some small tips for cooling your base...

For start and easiest way to keep heat under control in your base, put some worts on top of your base, later fill worts room with hydrogen. I also have my oxygen production there later. Oxygen floats naturally into base and pumps pump oxygen into exosuits and other areas outside base.

Later you can use nullifer to cool down that are with liquid pipes radiator if you want more advanced system.

Keep all your heat generating things outside of your base. I usually build my power plant into caustic biome (the one with hydrogen and chlorine). Starting with coal generators quite early and adding hydrogen when i get oxygen production going. Lastly there will be nat gas generators. Just cool down nat gas generators area and use its CO2 and polluted water to cool down rest of the power plant area :). as you can see i only need 2 worts there.

Now how to cool down water from geyser. The most elegant and effective way in my opinion: Use aquaturner to heat up your polluted water what you need for pepper farm. For electrolysers i use geyser water directly without cooling. For rest i cool water down to 20C. Into polluted water runs toilet water and pwater for nat generators (remember you can keep that one easily quite cool) and some extra from carbon skimmers. Excess pwater can be sent into fertilizer synthesizer.

@Priitm that is a very nice base I do something very similar to what you do I always have heat put into my polluted water then send it to synths.I like how you made use of the output temp of the nat gas gens.pro tip you can put wheezewarts on sideways mech doors and have it automated to turn off at a desired temp and I use this to always have my gas plant output -19c polluted and co2.
