mr peeps Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Ok so I've been looking around the discussion page, and I keep seeing people talk about some new "dormancy period" thing? What??? Does that mean it will have to sit for a while, then spew a lot like before, or is it they will spew just once?

BlueLance Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 They will spew when they are active and do nothing when dormant. when active they will spew for x amount of seconds every y. So when it is active it may spit out stuff for 60 seconds every 160 seconds. and it will keep doing that until it reached dormancy, which is random if I rem right. My lava volcano was dormant for 97 cycles and active for 50, spewed lava out for a 54 seconds or something every 113xx seconds.

Ive heard that dormancy can last over 80-90 cycles; is that true?

Depends on the Geyser but yes, my Lava one had a dormany of 97 cycles and an active time of roughly 50 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88524-the-whole-deal-with-geysers/#findComment-1013432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got really spooked that they were like, ALL 90 CYCLES. I dunno. Also, what can you do with a liquid Co2 geyser?

BlueLance Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If it were me I would store it in a vacuum so it doesn't heat up etc, or let it warm up enough so its a very cold gas and use it to help try and cool down area,because some geysers are extremely hot, using liquids is preferred but you don't want it to burst your pipes.

Technoincubus Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You can end with geyser working for 15 cycles and then being dormant for 105.

Giltirn Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If you setup the infrastructure to store and ration the output then a geyser that erupts for 15/100 cycles is no different from the same geyser erupting continuously but with 15% of the current production. The issue for me is the initial latency: you could potentially have to wait a hundred cycles before that system starts to produce, which is way too long. 10-20 dormant cycles should be the maximum IMO.

TheScaryOne Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 But what about a geyser that is only active for 15/100 cycles AND only has 15% of the current production? The numbers are rando, and that sucks.

chemie Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The good news...you found a water geyser as your starting water is running low. The bad news? It won't erupt for 100 cycles so everyone is dead.
