A use for Lava?


Recommended Posts

Lava is very hot, this heat can be used in a variety of ways, Up till now, it was often used for boiling oil into Natural gas, creating crazy amounts of power this way, this is sadly no longer possible, but you can use it to boil oil into petroleum with a more controlled setup, thus giving you a 1:1 conversion of oil to petrol, instead of 2:1 with the refinery, which also requires dupe operation to work, whereas boiling it can be automated.

Other things that can be done with it is to heat up water/steam for steam turbines, boil polluted water into clean steam, etc.

Pretty much any reason you'd want to heat something up, you can apply lava to it.

work in a vacuum off of abyssalite ladders with or without the suit heat is no issue, so long as you dont actually touch the hot material your dupes are fine. set up a water lock and dig your way in placing insulated abyssal tiles where you need to walk and ladders where you dont
