Then you'd have to live with critical, game-crashing bugs all weekend. Sleep deprived with a functional (more or less) beta branch or well rested with a game that constantly crashes until it's fixed sometime on Monday...you decide.

Alfons100 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Neat update, I guess its now we're entering the final stages of the game.. which I find kind of sad. Both glad and upset that they nerfed burning Petroleum this hard. In my opinion, Petroleum should be like boiling Polluted Water, a part of it turns into Steam, and the other into Polluted dirt. If boiled Petroleum turns part into usable Natural gas, and the rest into a 'smog' gas which has pretty poor thermal capacities and cannot be used for anything at all, except for being solidified or liquified I guess. Boiling Crude Oil should still be more efficient than using Petroleum Generators because of the extra effort you do. This makes it so that you end up with an annoying side-product you have to deal with, worse than carbon dioxide and polluted water, so you have to throw it into space. We've been nerfed in terms of power in many ways now, no Fertilizer makers, no boiling oil, Nat-gas makers nerfed as a whole (But we have this Space Cow I guess), the Steam Turbine should be revamped so you dont have to use annoying amounts of cheese to make it work halfly. Because trust me, that is what people do. Or give us a High-temperature Pump or some sort of way to move Hot gas/liquid without using Airlocks to move the scalding gas around for reheating.

Also, it's been mentioned before above but I too dislike the apparent trend towards being given purpose built buildings for problems as opposed to encouraging the creation of large complex self designed machines that rely on physics properties of the world. It was the ability to make these that made me excited about ONI in the first place and what I've spent the majority of my time on in game. It is what makes ONI unique to my mind and differentiates it from games like factorio. That said, I enjoy the plasticity of the game with the regular updates and look forward to exploring this new patch 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'... unless i toss hot steam to space.... (which can be a bad idea, but, if rockets can be used to bring ice or water from space... why not?? ) You quoted only part of that sentence, and are getting the wrong idea from the half sentence there. the water purifier previously 1. caused a magical loss of energy because pwater had greater SHC. (this is no longer true) 2. caused a magical loss or gain of energy because it had a fixed temp output, depending on the input temp. (This is still true. ) So, old water cooling designs will still work, just not quite as effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't speak Science!!! Whoa, whoa, whoa! SHC = specific heat capacity, which right now is 6 on PH20 and only 4 on H2O. How the heck are we supposed to keep our base cool without that?

Or one can exploit some of the variable building based output temp machines to cool your base. oil to NG cracking was really OP, but Klei could balance these overpowered large complex machines instead of just nerfing them to the ground, which is what's actually happening. Is oil to petroluem magma cracking still viable, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was able to figure out what SHC referred to, I've literally never seen it that way before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONI is like Kerbal space Program: there is always some way to solve a problem or to do something!! 17 minutes ago, Saturnus said: Petrol cookers was also more interesting and not quite as obviously OP. I only built complex machinery to convert oil -> ng if the heat source was a volcano, and a steam turbine as part of NG cooling. I never try to convert oil to petrol, just to NG. I simply dislike petrol generator Now i will need to change it to cook to petrol - i think its just a matter of changing some sensors, and a way to effectively cool petrol before pumpit..... In the bottom magma pool i just dropped oil until it runs out of magma, and, later, cool small quantities of NG by using doors and automation. "Almost infinite" energy this way.

I guess I'll be trying to convert my own oil cooker currently in the works, into a steam turbine set up. Honestly, I don't want to be too critical, but oil boilers are very difficult to build. Bit of a dirty move from Klei to just nulify that. They could have simply reduced the convert ratio.

Christophlette Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I think they didn't take the size of bunker doors into account when designing rockets The new critter (gas moo) converts the new plant (gas plant) into natural gas. And the new plant grows in 4 cycles using 500g chlorine per cycle. I guess chlorine geyser will be gold now. 3 minutes ago, BadlyBurned said: I'm totally lost.

Petroleum transforms into Sour Gas when heated in RU (new gas) When cooled, Sour Gas turn into Naphta now. So no way to get NG with cooking. Only via the oil refinery.
