Neotuck Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks to all the suggestions from my post yesterday I have made an improved liquid airlock that allows dupes to pass though without getting wet so they don't get stressed. The liquid airlock is crude oil, petroleum, and water stacked at 10g each. By having the dupe jump though the gap it avoids getting the wet debuff. The vacuum in the middle also prevents temperature from crossing as well NOTE: I didn't come up with the idea for this, credit goes to @Xyer and @Kasuha from my last post As you can see after Nails passed though there was no "soggy feet" or "soaking wet" stat This water lock can also handle the extreme temperatures of volcanoes as long as you maintain a vacuum in the chamber holding the volcano. Make sure you have exo suits too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimgaw Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Seeing as you're mentioning practical applications, how would you set it up in non-debug mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for creating a vacuum use air pumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutzkhie Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I guess you need to set it up like a regular liquid airlock once all liquid is poured (oil, petro, water, or polluted water), you will remove some tiles and make it look like on the picture I saw a similar design on youtube but it was only oil and water and it was just a 2 tile high of liquid airlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatGameDota Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 People have tried this before and don't dupes breath out while in the water lock so that it breaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabrute Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 the jump action seems to bypass a lot of things, I say post a bug report as unintended side effect of jumping like with the hatch jumping through a closed pneumatic door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifegrow Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Sorry @Neotuck - you know I love to get onboard with new and interesting builds - but this is just impractical faff Also, slightly more pedantically of me - the lock isn't "handling" the temperature of a volcano - it's separated from it by the wonders of vacuum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repseki Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Does it have to be those specific liquids, or are they just the "easiest" to deal with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not much else you could choose from, maybe Petroleum. So far nothing else is in stable state in normal temperature ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT_20 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Again I don’t see the point of these complicated liquid locks stress is not enough of an issue to warrant the hassle of getting 10 g liquid pillars. I play on the max setting for stress and immunity i use regular liquid locks and my stress rarely goes above 5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrustyFish Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Does this setup work with 2 liquids? with 1 seperated by the other? Such as: Water Crude Water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 5 minutes ago, TrustyFish said: Does this setup work with 2 liquids? with 1 seperated by the other? Such as: Water Crude Water No, the crude oil sinks in the water, which would result in Water Water Crude Oil Then the water would merge and spill all over. You can do this with 2 liquids. You can go Water Crude Crude But this is trickier to set up. The bottom crude oil would need to be full and one above would have to be around 30 g (actually, it can be higher, but I don't know the value off the top of my head). On a related note when constructing things like this, mopping will clear liquid from the tile being mopped and the two adjacent tiles (if they are moppable). Further tiles are not effected. That means you can build these without being as careful if you are willing to have a gap of 3 in your airlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScaryOne Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 You could also do Petro Crude Crude so the liquids have the same temperature range, I think. Crude is easy to get, and 10-30g of petro is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio King Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 All liquids apart from Naphtha (which hold up to 390g) stack to 39g until they start to flow to the sides, naphtha at 390g is "fat" enough for "exhale" bug to not happen. If you use suits they don't exhale, thus do not break the membranes. I've been using that technique quite a while. Its easy to set up legit as well, bottle emptier drops the bottle as soon as you untick it in the list, making the hunt for 39g easy as long as you pay attention. The jump gap adds bit extra to the whole blueprint. Plus mesh door can be placed in the membrane, further giving access control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally made this setup but with pWater instead when the heat from hot biome melted some water and Pwater from the cold biome above it and mixed with oil from my Oil Well and created a vacuum in between too.

AnotherBoris Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Just some more improvement for improved airlocks Just build something like this: Fill by Crude oil and mop it: FIll by water next: Mop water and build remaining parts. Profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albryant Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Are you able to make it one tile bigger by adding a third liquid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siromatik Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 You potentionaly can build 5-6 tiles hight liquid lock, and even more with liquid in debug Just drop few kg/each : Water P. Water Petroleum Naphta Crude Oil and mop the rest. BTW take care about temps liquids range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you want to make a normal water lock - just make a bottle emptier and set it to "enable auto bottling" so that dupes will empty bottles there until you have a large enough pond of water.
