Does polluted water pollutes normal water in the same tank?


Recommended Posts

I have a very rudimentary built for cooling water.

Every time the temperature of the tank exceeds 90 degrees, the water sieve starts cleaning the polluted water and outputs it back to the tank. It works because the water sieve has a fixed output temperature of 40 degrees, thus it is effectively destroying heat. The tank stays this way at a stable 90 degrees.

I assumed such a temporary measure would only last for a couple dozen cycles or so, but every time I check (it's been going on for at least 120 cycles), those puddles of water contain no more than 70 kg of water.

So, the question is - can it be that, from time to time, vicinity to the polluted water causes normal water to go bad again? At least it seems so based on my experience with this tank.

Thanks for replies.

 

EDIT: Just as I was writing this post, I went back to check the tank, and the tile of water on the left disappeared right before my eyes! There's definitely something wrong with the game.

The answer is definitely yes.  Regular water surrounded by three tiles of polluted water will just turn to polluted water.  There's nothing wrong with the game, this is actually a feature.

But doesn't it have negative implications as well? I can just constantly be converting polluted into clean and exploit the fixed temperature of the water sieve.

I think I had this thing where all my fresh geyser water turned polluted rip

Why is that considered a bad thing?  Fertilizer for years, and your pinchas would be very happy.

Both of these are game features.  Working as intended, at least separately.  So, technically there is no exploit here.  After all, I'd imagine the developers think of polluted water is a negative on it's own and the sieve both uses power and sand to function.  So, you're certainly loosing 'something' by doing this.  Of course, you could argue that it's too powerful and you might be right there.  Guess that depends on whom you ask.

Because I had a filter and didn't have a factuality for polluted water conversion
