a quick question


Recommended Posts

i haven't really used ore scrubber coz i never really go to the slime biome but recently i decided to go there and dig some slime which i shared few hours ago
and im kinda confused with this "supply of chlorine"
Do i have to keep them supplied with chlorine all the time? or Do i have to fill them just once?

like how the hydrogen generator consumes hydrogen for power, the ore scrubber consumes chlorine to kill germs.  Personally I don't like it as the amount of germs killed is limited per use, I would rather temporary store germ ore in a chlorine filled room

I tried to do that but what if a dupe needs slime to fertilize Nd go gets it from the storage before the chlorine kills all germs?

I just setup an ore scrubber but it was slow and when 2-3 dupes pass some skip it when other dupe uses it. (i could set up 3 but didnt do it) So filled a room but chlorine but dupes go grab it before it gets completely desinfected.

i usually fill the room with chlorine above 1.8kg pressure slime wont be emitting polluted water

do conveyors allow slime to emit polluted oxygen?

They do not.  

A better solution is to store under PW in ice biome....kills slime in a couple cycles.

two ways to fix this, use a conveyor rail to transport slime though a chlorine room like a radiator and store it in a compactor underwater to minimize polluted oxygen.  Make sure dupes who dig in the swamp and dupes who fertilize the dust caps are restricted from each other so slime won't bypass the conveyor 

Other way is to setup a puft stable, some reason puft poop doesn't have slimelung (this might change soon, if it does do the same thing as above^) 4 pufts can support up to 88 dust caps

I assume you mean polluted oxygen?

I assumed they do but I'll test this to find out

I just checked and YES they do, in the picture the slime is moving on conveyor rails only and I started with a vacuum.  They started emitting polluted oxygen immediately

I meant you make a PW tank in ice biome and have compactor in there.  Cold kills slimelung and PW stops gasing and wont freeze

Interesting on conveyors.  There were patch notes which specifically said they did not.

My test was current patch so maybe a bug?

Items on conveyor rails give off gas but you can avoid that by running the rails behind tiles. While inside tiles they will not give off gas. Bleach stone, slime etc. @Neotuck. @chemie

most of the time I run them though 1.8Kg or higher chlorine to kill germs, or water

i was testing the ore scrubber and the 10kg chlorine inside the scrubber doesn't deplete at all
and i dont think its a bug but its intended, and its makes sense, if you use an ore scrubber the chlorine inside is only used to "Kill" the germs your not taking any chlorine from the scrubber.

it uses 50g per use that means it needs to be used 10 times or more before it shows 9.9Kg in the scrubber (assuming you are not pumping more in)

EDIT: I just realized there's a bug, after testing the scrubber it showed 10Kg chlorine and used it all up without going down, even when it was empty it still showed 10Kg, I'll submit a bug report

but it does more sensible if chlorine never goes down coz where would chlorine go? are they just delete?
if you leave a slime in a room full of chlorine the germs die and the chlorine is still the same thing as before 
the ore scrubber just speed up the process of "killing" germs
i really hope they make it into a feature instead of fixing it

well they need to fix something, if there is no pipe/or blocked pipe to feed fresh chlorine then eventually it will be empty and dupes will walk past without using it.

The bug is it shows 10Kg even when empty, I have sent a report
