Male_zvire Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi, actual system - one geyser/vent outputs only one element - looks for me weird. Its simple for use, but weird. What about make geysers what erupts multiple elements? Example: volcano. Volcano can erupts magma in random intervals + very small amount of steam + very small amount of cooper/iron + very small amout od natural gas + permanent outputs CO2 (while eruption with more strenght) I hope this isnt completly stupid idea Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91345-multiple-output-geysers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flydo Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Could be fun, can must be more difficult to deal with it, mabe they will add later some multiple output volcano Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91345-multiple-output-geysers/#findComment-1041107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I also agree, tbh I would much rather prefer having multiple outputs from a single geyser, I mean right now all you need is a single pump and thats about it. Imagine a mud volcano, releases mud, natural gas, polluted water. Mud is too thick to be pumped so needs to either be dried (Dirt) or diluted (Polluted water) this means you need a tool, or a method to heat it up etc. Much more interesting than just a nat gas geyser etc Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91345-multiple-output-geysers/#findComment-1041354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juicearific Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I like the idea. I think the main thing would be that they follow the same temperature range. I think you could vary what elements come out, even what form (liquid vs. gas), but I think the one constant should be the temp. Because I think the hardest thing to do would be to worry about warming up or cooling down the geyser.

Well if you take a molten metal volcano, it can spew out molten iron, magma, steam, and other gasses at high temperatures (Which is more realistic) and its up to the player to design a system which can deal with it and take whats needed Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91345-multiple-output-geysers/#findComment-1041368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern would be if it randomly spewed out -5C polluted water directly afterwards. Because the way to cool down magma etc. (reliably) is to sink cold water into it, and nevermind this making the geyser self sufficient (it warms up and cools back down all its outputs), it would also mess with your heating/cooling system. I'm perfectly happy if it outputs a bunch of hot things. So long as its outputs are similar temp ranges (high - 300C+ / medium - 80C-300C / low - 80C-) I'd be happy. It makes the most sense that way anyways. You'd get fun things like chlorine/NG geysers, carbon dioxide (cold) and slush geysers, gold and hot steam volcanoes, etc. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91345-multiple-output-geysers/#findComment-1041371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Oh yeah they totally have to be the same temp, if it comes out at 2600 degrees or whatever a molten metal volcano comes out at, all the materials must come out the same or similar.

yoakenashi Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Multiple element geysers already exist, well in a way, if you know how to exploit the steam compression bug: I made myself a natural gas/steam vent. The area (not specifically the geyser) generates both steam (condensing to water) and natural gas: Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91345-multiple-output-geysers/#findComment-1044219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
