PickPay Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 So I checked these 2 posts which are 3 months old dunno if this has been fixed Spoiler and my problem seems slightly different and I wanted your opinion before reporting a bug. The tank is full of 800Kg of p.water yet if you look carefully the pipes show more liquid flowing in the device (small dots between big ones animation) and no liquid is coming out. I have no idea how much liquid that could be ...ah! I suspect its a small amount *evaporating* from the tank into p.oxygen ?

Lutzkhie Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 before the preview branch when the refinery is full it stops, probably a bug, better report it Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88632-metal-refinery-consumes-coolant-when-idle-bug-oc/#findComment-1014411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolthulhu Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It doesn't actually use it up. It replenishes the loss from offgassing. Refineries don't prevent pH2O offgassing.

TheScaryOne Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do you have a debottler set to polluted water? If so, your dupes are taking some from the machine and dumping it.

Because you can fairly easily just put a few metal refineries in a row.

Kabrute Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 the output is still limited to surface area, considering the bottle in the ref doesn't hold more than a normal full tile of pwater, using airflow tiles against pwater still provides more surface coverage and pressurization potential Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88632-metal-refinery-consumes-coolant-when-idle-bug-oc/#findComment-1014666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be better off using doors to supercompress pwater against a ceiling made of gas permeable tiles.

But didn't they make it so that polluted water won't bubble above a certain pressure? I think you are missing a door pump for the polluted oxygen in your build. I like my system. Putting it in buildings felt like it would be a little less exploity.
