Infected Oxygen Vent

[Whispert]

So I keep getting this type of vent on my seeds. I haven't seen anyone talking about how they deal with these. In my current seed it is located on the edge of a cold biome. If I were to vent it into a chamber in the cold and let it stay there for a while would it kill the slimelung off faster so the O2 would be usable? I was thinking of putting some deodorizers and a germ sensor in there. 

I'm not in a pinch for O2 I was just trying to think of a way to make this useful. Maybe it could give my O2 room/power needs a break

The easiest way to deal with it in the short term is to seal it until you can deal with it.
Medium to long terms the best way to deal with them is to feed them into a sealed stable with pufts. To prevent any air escapingI use a three door thick airlock. The middle airlock is controlled with a pressure plate and filter gate so that after a dupe passes through the airlock the middle closes and opens briefly and deletes any trapped gas (this is a bug/exploit).
Additionally I keep a deoxidiser on the outside in case of a little spillage.
This both keeps your pufts fed/prevents extinction, provides food (eggs) and turns the infected Oxygen into a useful product.

You can make a liquid oxygen system.

[Kabrute]

was gonna suggest a lox build as well.

If I recall, cold does kill the slimelung fairly fast on top of the quicker decay rate for being in clean oxygen.

@Smithe37 The puft idea is a good one. Although I also have a polluted oxygen vent that I would rather use to avoid spreading slimelung around. As far as sealing it off. I really try to avoid wasting the resource that way. If a geyser/vent is outputting and I can find a way to reserve the output until I am in a position to use it I try to go that route. Especially with the long dormancy on some of them. That's why I was considering just venting it into a tank in the cold biome for now.

@Kabrute I like that idea and the small one seems doable early on (bangarang on that massive system though that was a fun read while I was bored at work). I assume the output temp of the oxygen pretty low, is it easy to get it up to the temperate range? Do you think I could just use the hydrogen from my AETN room instead of the thermo regs?

[Kabrute]

no because the aetn never gets below -173 and you need -186 but you could use an aetn instead of using weezeworts to cool the tower, by the very end of the post sequence I used integration of metal plates for counter current exchange and ditched all temp shift plates as they slowed interactions.  This resulted in steadily decreasing cost to cool.....

Can you explain using metal plates over temp shift plates? I am new to Oni.

[Whispert]

Hmm.. OK thermal regs it is. So would metal tiles be necessary on the smaller scale (the origin of that post)? I was thinking of moving the infected O2 into a tank in the cold biome and while that's chillin' in there killing off slimelung I could process small packets of lox to maybe send to my excavation tunnels/outposts or use it for cooling elsewhere (since that's what it's intended for). 

[Kabrute]

the super efficient design dumps the liquid onto the side of the conversion line, letting the cold lox convert to o2 in its own chamber, but using the metal rail to pass its cold to the PO2 you are converting, this warms up the O2 before sending it to the colony, it took me a little over 20 tiles to pass 95% of the cold to the PO2.  Temp shift plates make an entire area =.  Metal rail provides a gradient effect that lets you trade energy between sides over time, its super efficient because you are recycling your cold.  The super deluxe edition sends the lox through an aquatuner before sending it to the rail further boosting the cold on it but thats for the industrial model.  The efficiency boost from the rail though more than makes it worth while.

[Whispert]

OK I think I got it. so basically the metal rail helps transfer the cold from the (lox converted) O2 to the PO2 (soon to be lox) saving me energy as I try to cool the PO2 and also helping me bring the temp of the O2 up so I don't have to use energy to warm it.

Thank you so much for being so patient  Now I'm really excited to get to sit down and try this over the weekend.
