Hydrogen Vent

[Oni Noob]

I got hydrogen vent... Whats next? its too hot to be useful any tips?

Build a automated egg cooker using the heat

its actual very easy to cool down, its up to you what you want to use it for

When I have a hydrogen vent I tend to use two wheezeworts to cool the room down.

You will need automation in the room though otherwise if yo pump out too much gas the hydrogen will heat up and break your pump.

Use a gold amalgam pump, A wheezewort on either side usually I use granite pots. And then you want to have an AND gate, one connection with an atmo sensor at Above 2000g, and temperature sensor at Below 75 (Or if you like to live dangerously 100).

This means that once the gas inside hits 5kg/per tile the wheezeworts will cool it all down. Then any gas which comes out of the vent after that will have 5kg/per tile to compete with. Do not let the gas fall below 2kg though otherwise the wheezeworts will just be cooked instead, technically you can have the amount be anything above 2kg, it just means that when it goes dormant you will have more super cooled gas inside it.

Just create a small 4x4 cooling room with the wheeze and connect them via metal tiles. far better cooling result

You can do that as well. but the cooling result wouldn't be better as you have to cool the tiles connecting it which is a large mass, and only the gas in contact with the tiles would be cooling the gas in contact with the tiles in the geyser room.

Once the geyser is dormant though your design would definitely help more as that cool mass will sustain itself longer.

Tempshift Plates, Tempshift Plates everywhere!

You are right that it takes a while for such a system to come "to temperature", depleting whatever heat was already in such a mass.  But over the course of the full Active/Dormant cycle of the Geyser (the way RNGsus occasionally decrees, some Eruption periods will do) to reach the thermal break-even point.

I totally forgot about tempshift, I have never used them so I do not fully unerstand them, but yeah if you use tempshift plates then the cooling would be the same if not better. The cooled mass after dormancy would outright destroy the heat haha. I need to try using tempshift plates.
