Recommendation: Siesmic Sensors.

I wouldn't mind a seismic sensor that could send signals based on geyser/volcano/fumarole activity.  While limited in application, this would give us a bit more flexibility on when and where we pump gasses and liquids during active and dormancy periods.

Or if you look, they are a little machine on the volcano/geyser after the analysis, a automation signal can come from here active if it active and inactive if it's dormant

Interesting. What would that allow you to do that you can't do now with pressure/temp sensors? It seems like those can do the same job pretty easily, at least if you set things up for that purpose.

Speaking personally, I'd like to siphon off a bit of gas every cycle during active periods so I have more reserves to get me through the lean periods of dormancy.

Yeah, that could work.  Or build the sensor so that the art asset fits seamlessly with these instruments.

Yeah could be fun, analyse the geyser and only after you can put a sensor on it if you need it.

Siphon off a bit of gas every cycle and do some math to know how you can use each cycle, take a little less and if you dig large next to your geyser, your reserve naturally slowly increase.

It's sure possible with automation do a counter for the geyser but it will be a big chaos of automation gate :D

Cool idea and how about you can only do it once you research the geyser/volcano/fumarole? Then that gives you another incentive to research it.

Agreed. They already have a little machine doohicky relaying information to the HUD. They should have a similar active/inactive HUD or something similar to the auto battery with an automation output.
