Deustodo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I know all the info about it are on screen but just for the heck of it: 127 Kg/s of magma for 93 s every 11243 s (which I guess is 93 seconds every 18.73 cycles?) Active period: 11.6 cycles every 39.3 cycles so What do I do with this? use it for a steam engine? Leave it there and forget it even exists? I honestly have no idea. Also I have this steam geyser and I guess I got a lucky with the output + downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Use it for steam generator. that's what I was gonna do, but I cooked my base accidently. With how hot it is I reckon it could give a heck of a lot of steam considering the amount of material it spews out. if you moderate the usage it should last a while, even the igneous rock is hot enough to get steam from for a while.

Cypher-7 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 @BlueLance beat me to it! You could try and use the magma to make steam for the steam generator. It would be a temporary source off “free” power while activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 @Cypher-7 I was gonna use mine to try and power two steam generators, store the steam that's left over, and try to recycle it for as muc heat preservation as possible whilst using as little lava as I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deustodo Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Well I have never built a steam generator, so I'll just leave it there until I have enough resources to even play with it. I have isolated it from the rest of the world so it will spill magma until it gets over-pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlineous Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Throw oil on top of it to get natural gas? I would include a long(er) cooling duct through which you run the crude oil supply pipe to cool the natural gas and preheat the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
