tuordiel Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 What the point to use liquid reservoir. 2x3 blocks but stores only 5000kg of liquid. I read about the bug (or exploit idk) with germs and chlorine. But other than this, what are the reasons to use liquid reservoir instead old storing? Also liquid and gas reservoir dont have automation. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94909-liquid-reservoir/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risu Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Think of it as a long pipe compressed into 2x3 space. Not requiring a pump is a bonus. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94909-liquid-reservoir/#findComment-1078160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it has a green output meaning it can push liquids further into the piping without the need for a pump behind it. Also, you can freely put this storage reservoir (or more) into your storage tank almost doubling the capacity of your storage tanks.

Soulwind Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wait a minute. I can just plop these down and they fill themselves from the local atmosphere? Then auto-pump it to an output pipe? Do they need power? Did I read that right? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94909-liquid-reservoir/#findComment-1078171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djoums Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 No but you can fill a room with a high pressure vent for example, and also have a gas reservoir inside that room. Then pump gas into both.

And when stuff flows again, they empty back out. Imagine a 10x3 typical water tank. Put 4 of these reservoirs in the water (leaving the last 2x3 section for the export pump and liquid vent) and run your input water piping through all 4 reservoirs before terminating in the liquid vent. This results in 50,000kg of liquid storage in a 30,000kg (or less if crude oil, petroleum or any other liquid that doesn't stack in 1,000kg per tile) tank. Once all 30k fills and the vent over pressured, the 4 tanks will fill up. I only mentioned the green output lack of pump as these tanks function as priority and push just like bridges, valves and shutoffs do.

Soulwind Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Ahh, OK. That makes more sense. For a minute there I had visions of huge banks of these sucking in all the atmo in the asteroid.

Good idea! Since a storage reservoir needs a pump (in or out) anyways, just place it in the line of that Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94909-liquid-reservoir/#findComment-1078185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have visions of huge banks of these things keeping stuff in pipes so I don't have to repump everything or restack gas into full packets. I'm wondering what effect these reservoirs make on exchanging heat between the stored contents and the tank's surroundings...

Always have the vision of storing gas into liquid form inside a huge room protected by vacuum wall And this liquid storage making polluted oxygen when you store polluted water in it, so is less efficient thant other storage in this case Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94909-liquid-reservoir/#findComment-1078235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanemadden Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 As noted it makes lots of polluted oxygen when loaded when full of polluted water (unsure if intended behavior) - great for feeding pufts, unsure what the pressure limit is but it seems high. It will also disinfect contents if it's surrounded by chlorine gas (again, unsure if intended), which is handy for a sieve output if there are some hints of slimelung slipping through distillers.

shanemadden Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Something like this keeps the chlorine-soaked reservoir full and disinfecting, only letting excess water out to the supply tank below.
