Saturnus Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 It's a buffer. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exa Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 I mean what's the point of theses buildings instead of regular storing into a pressured tile room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimgaw Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 You can think of them as 500 tiles long liquid pipe or 150 tiles long gas pipe. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exa Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 when you use it with all connected input and output, does it begin to store gas/liquid before to send it back to output or does it act exactly like a pipe and starts to fill only when output is blocked or unconnected?

I am not sure, I assume it fills and empties at a constant rate until there is a backlog. Which then causes it to fill. You can have them inside your gas storage tank to save space anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argelle Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 If it's acting like a long pipe, how does it not need a pump !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything with output (green) works to push packets to input (white). Closed toilet loop works without pump for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exa Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 you can mix liquid and gas in it, but no ideas how it sorts it at output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimgaw Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 So, what's the point of 150kg gas tank if you can use 5t liquid tank to store gas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closed toilet loop works without pump for example. OK so the reservoirs are acting like a long pipe with bridges at the ends. And like toilets, a pump is needed to push gas through. It does not save a pump, it saves a bridge and a vent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saves space though in that regard, instead of having however many pipe tiles, you can have one of these and its less pipe tiles for the same job. I am gonna try building them for other uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimgaw Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 2 minutes ago, Argelle said: It does not save a pump, it saves a bridge and a vent... Well, I don't have a pump connected to my toilets. Just toilets, sink, sieve and vent. No pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, they hold 5,000 kg of liquid or 150 kg of gas? 40 minutes ago, Argelle said: It does not save a pump, it saves a bridge and a vent... It does save a pump: with a storage pond you need a *second* pump to extract it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
