Gas pressure, Water pressure vents not included?


Recommended Posts

Hi my suggestion is simply to add air and water intake pipes that do not use electricity, but require a difference in water / air pressure to work.

For air pressure it would be very helpful for transporting the heavier gasses to different areas of your base without having to build an elaborate tunnel leading the heavy gasses to their destination. I think the gas pipe system is very incomplete in that respect.

One of the things I enjoy about the game is early on when you have no technology but you want to move pockets of different types of gas around using gravity and air pressure differences. One of the ways I do that is by putting an oxygen generator in a small space to force crabon dioxide / chlorine to go in the opposite direction etc.

But being able to do this with basic air pipes with air intake vents would add much more depth to the game's ventilation system, and I personally would find it incredibly enjoyable thinking up the 'smartest' way to move gasses around without using electricity or gas pumps. It's similar to roman aqueducts but with gasses, primitive technology :) 

A water intake valve would be nice as well for the same idea, I think it would be cool if you could feed water into a small 4x4 size box, and have the pressure build up until the water is forced into the intake pipe and even upwards, just like a real plumbing system. These mechanics are already in the game so it would be simple to implement I think, but would add so much more depth and a new level of fun.

Feedback on my idea would be appreciated. I really love this game <3
