Polluted Water -> Polluted Oxygen Conversion

[Revenantus]

Hello!

My long duration base has reached the point where the pockets of polluted water are accompanied by some disturbingly high pressure concentrations of polluted oxygen.

Is it the case that a future update will put a pressure limit on the polluted water -> polluted oxygen conversion, or is this something that I should just start dealing with more proactively? 

Thanks!

It was addressed in the last update.

I am assuming if your world was generated before OC then you will still have these high density pockets.

If it's less than 200kg/tile it's nothing to alarmed about

Yes, this save started before the OC update. If the concentrations won't increase any further I shall stop panicking! Thanks very much for the response.

haha so true. I had a pocket with 659kg just now, I put a small airlock with deoxidizers before popping it.

There's a safe way to deal with such pockets (assuming you have somewhere to send the polluted oxygen to, e.g. a freezer or a puft farm).

Step 1: put a pump in enclosed chamber next to the pocket's corner this way:

Step 2: dig two tiles separating the pump and the pocket.

Run the pump until the pressure is safe.
