Arash70 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So you have a huge slime biome to deal with? Use this: Input: Coal 5kg/s + Slime 15kg/s Output: 5kg/s Algae + 10kg/s Polluted Water + 100g/s Carbon Dioxide + 412.5W Heat Back in the day it was one of the only sustainable sources of polluted water or water Now it's more useful to get rid of slime biomes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technoincubus Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Why would you do that? Sline is be far one of the most valuable resources, to the point where overcrowded puft farms with dozens of dozens of morbs are needed to sustain slime influx.

Kroning Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Or just put it in storage covered with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, it depends on how much slime you want to process, can also build this with conveyor rails + auto-sweepers 2 hours ago, Technoincubus said: Why would you do that?

Slime -> Polluted Water -> Water Slime -> Polluted Water -> Natural Gas Generators Slime -> Algae -> Oxygen And I'm no fan of mushrooms/puft farms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 this is overkill on the distillers, a waste on coal, and you have no decontamination setup so your algae will be filled with slimelung which in turn will get into your base as you use deoxydizers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran a test of algae that had slimelung. The slimelung output by the deoxydizers exceeded the kill rate by the oxygen. So the slimelung in the base would only die off (after 5+ cycles) once the deoxydizers turned off or they are supplied clean algae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the slimelung in the base would only die off (after 5+ cycles) once the deoxydizers turned off or they are supplied clean algae Sorry - you missed the point entirely. I was talking about the area around the distillers themselves being oxygen rich (due to the deodorizers flooding the area with O2). This would actively kill off the slimelung. Pair that with the chlorine that seems to be kicking around, plus the bleach stone output - I reckon it'd be pretty germ free. Obviously if you just jam a shedload of contaminated algae into your base it would lead to germs in the base - however again, they'd soon die off providing they were running intermittently.

Soulwind Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It's total overkill as the distillers eat slime at a pretty quick rate anyway, but sure. Fyi store the mined out slime in chlorine for a bit before use and the slimelung will sit off leaving safe to use slime and germ free algae.

E.g. if the distillers are only active for part of the cycle - the output algae might be sat on the floor for a period, gently having the germs eradicated. Likewise if the algae is stored in a cool area for even the briefest of moments, again - germ count totally altered. etc etc etc. Your basing this entirely off of "ALGAE SPAT OUT -> DUPE COLLECTS -> INSTANTLY CONSUMED IN DEOXYDIZER" When in reality this is probably not the case.

Neotuck Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Fair point but I like to keep my distillers in a chlorine filled room just to be safe. The 100% death/cycle is better than 13% 25 minutes ago, Lifegrow said: Your basing this entirely off of "ALGAE SPAT OUT -> DUPE COLLECTS -> INSTANTLY CONSUMED IN DEOXYDIZER" When in reality this is probably not the case. I do see your point, I just wish you can see mine, O2 is not a reliable element to kill germs on solids, even if it's not "instantly consumed in deoxydizer" there are still plenty of germs to infect your base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDoroFF Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 One air deodorizer betwen two storages consumes whole po2 produced. What the reason to annihilate each of digged out cell of slime instantly? What hinders to store slime submerged in liquid? Is not it easier than build grotesque factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I found with using submerged storage tanks is that it prevents offgassing, but doesnt really kill off the germs, or does it really slowly, leaving the slime still contaminated when it is needed.
