Does air cleaners have range or how?


Recommended Posts

Lately, I have become careless about the slime lung if deodorizers have been unlocked in my research. I am however curious about how it all works specifically.

As per tests, it seems the deodorizer does not need to have polluted oxygen right on top of it, and it still cleans the air in the room in general.

My question is, do they have a cleaning range or how do they actually work? I hade a field of cut slime lung in about 20 tiles and 1 deodorizer. It took about 1-2 cycle and most germs were gone. What about Algae Terrarium, is that the same thing or what?

Can someone please tell me or conduct further tests on this, as I am unsure what to think of it.

If I remember correctly it absorbs the tiles adjacent to it, and yeah one of them can clear out entire ares because the polluted oxygen floats amongst the normal oxygen so it just randomly encounters it.

Slimelung will also die off because of the oxygen etc.

It seems they will suck air within 1 tile away (3x3 area centered on deodorizer), but the polluted air itself will move around and circulate like other gasses: it moves freely horizontally and will tend to rise above the heavier gasses natgas, chlorine, and co 2. Over a long period of time it will rise above regular oxygen.

Most of the slime lung comes from po emitted by the slime, and can be mitigated by quickly picking up the slime after mining and consolidating into compactor. If you let the slime sit and off gas you will end up with lots of slime lung. 

One strategy is to fill the bottom of a slime area with some chlorine and mine upwards vertically using ladders; the slime will fall to the bottom and be quickly disinfected, resulting in minimal slime lung.

Just putting it in a Compactor is not enough, I'm afraid.  To prevent off-gasing of either Slime into P-O2 or Bleach Stone into Chlorine, you must store it underwater, or in a room pressurized to > 1800 g.  Similar rule for open pools of P-H2O -- it can't off-gas if the pressure is over 1800 g.

Mini/Big Liquid/Gas pump. range=2

But pumps mini pumps have just 1 spot and normal 2 spots where they detect liquid.

Gulp Fish. range=3

was it changed ? I saw a couple gulp fish far away from polluted water still produce water

They drink Pw from their beginning position, not the current position. I think it's an exploit.

They have same range.

As you can see,this mini pump works well without contact with gas directly

Sry i meant if i place a pump like you

=> liquid pump range to detect liquid^^ (my fault)

 

Yeah your right considering gas pumps^^

I have a crazy and ridiculous guess. The detect and absorb ranges are different.

The red zone is absorb range, and the blue is detect range.

I confirmed it in mini gas pump.

pump range.sav

 

At first, the mini pump can't absorb any gas because there is no gas in it's detect range

Then

I let hydrogen go to it's detect range. It begins to work, and not only absorb hydrogen, but also CO2, which is not in it's detect range.
