Kasuha Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This is such a simple idea I would guess somebody must have posted about it already but I honestly don't remember that. So maybe this could help somebody? I found it very convenient when I want to repair/refurbish something, such as in this volcano vacuum chamber. Step 1: build an appropriate step and make a drop of liquid on it. Doesn't matter how big it is, just make sure it won't freeze or evaporate. Step 2: deconstruct the emptier and build some walls around it Step 3: deconstruct the way through Step 4: enjoy the access as long as you need it.

0xFADE Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Nice though previously I'd noticed that edge locks eventually quit working. Like at some point a dupe drags that liquid somewhere by moving through it. But maybe more stair steps was key.

It's usually caused by the duplicant breathing out some CO2 right when he is in the drop. It's not an issue if your duplicants wear exosuits and for safety measure, you may make several such steps - assuming it's just for repairs it has good chance to last long enough Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89667-single-drop-waterlock/#findComment-1024900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I saw your bug report. How do you avoid flooding of the sweeper arms? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89667-single-drop-waterlock/#findComment-1024943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted two bug reports recently and both are around the volcano. If you mean the design where the sweeper is partially submerged, I have empirically determined that it's not flooded when it sits in 300 kg of water per tile. So I filled the top level to 300 kg per tile. The water level never actually changes since the magma changes to drops as it gets over the edge and directly materializes to solid when it hits the bottom.
