TimHH Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yesterday, I tried to use liquid heaters to kill those germs in the polluted water which has yellow color to suggest it is polluted. However, when I find out that even though the germs have been completely eliminated, the polluted water still needs to be "transformed', or they stay the same, no matter whether there are germs or not. Though, it is not a big problem, for getting closer to out real world, current mechanism could be better. And I'm suggesting that the bounder between polluted water and clean water should be the number of germs in it. Also, having some germs in water is normal, after all, we all drink water with numbers of germs XD. Therefore, water having certain quantity of germs in it should not cause disease. Plus: Why CO2 killer are producing polluted water? There are no germs in both the input water and the gas!!! I think the output should be things like sodas, like coke, and it is a wonderful drink for dupes. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICKA Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I always assumed polluted water was just water with pee, poop, and other such things in it. Not that it was germy water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellilea Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Imagine in this way - put a dump in a pot, fill it with water, boil it, and give the concoction a good shake so it falls apart and mixes. Drinking that afterwards will definitely not infect you with any microbe disease, but would you call that clean water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The issue here seems to be that you are conflating germs with contaminants. Contaminants can be anything from dirt to leaves to whatever else can be dissolved in water. Germs can be on any surface, in any liquid, or in any gas. Depending on your context, germs can also be considered contaminants, but they are not always. It's kind of like the square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square thing. Yeah, it's a little arbitrary, but Polluted Water is not limited to germs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimHH Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Well, I ignored that there also be contaminant even if there is no germ. Then maybe there should be more types of water in the game, like germ-filled water and industrial-wasted water, which are not the same thing. Though it is quite confusing to find that even a CO2 killer could still produce germs, it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't though. If you have germs coming from your Carbon Skimmer, the clean Water you are feeding it must already be infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avilmask Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Eh. I'm totally fine with germs in both polluted and clean water. I only wish there was more uses for chlorine. A way to pressurize gas into liquid, instead of cooling it, so you could use it instead of bleach. And a water disinfection station that uses liquid chlorine.

Though slimelung doesn't survive long in liquids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yunru Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 How should it define it? As it does. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with the current abstraction imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run clean water through a filter it should last longer. The dirtier the water the sooner it needs to be changed. That would be a little more realistic.

CHlorine has also very low thermo conductivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
