Hot polluted steam vent what is it good for?

[Cipupec2]

I am confused what I can do with 343 g/s at 500C. I don't lack for heat sources, it seem too little to make a difference as water source, and inconvenient to handle. Should I just bottle it up and forget about it?

I cool mine to about 45 degrees and feed my puft farm with it

Is late game polluted oxygen that useful that you'd spend so much energy on cooling it? because right now I can't seem to get rid of it fast enough.

If you have one the best thing to do is feed it to pufts if you ask me. cooling it isn't exactly hard, a few wheezseworts and a high enough pressure should be enough to keep it cool?

This is polluted oxygen, not steam, it can't produce water.

1. You can use it for pufts
2. You can use it for clay
3. Scrub it to get normal oxygen - 393 g/s should be roughly enough for 4 dupes during eruptions (I assume it is going to maintain at least 2)
4. While small, it is still a heat source with temperature high enough for most uses yet not overwhelmingly high (e.x. you might be able to use it for petroleum production if you manage to make effective enough build).

still indirectly produce water if you turn the slime into algae

Or more directly by just cleaning it thus saving water otherwise used to make oxygen.
