Algae Terrarium does not consume CO2 (after some time)

@scycos, Note that the AT consumes 333 MG/s, that is 0.333 g/s. In the same time a duplicant exhales 2g/s!

That means you need 6 AT for 1 duplicant to remove all CO2, so for your 7 duplicants you need 42 AT to remove all CO2.

You also have coal generators - they produce 20g/s CO2. That's 10 duplicants worth of coal! so you need 60 ATs to remove that CO2!

Do you see where the math is going? Using AT to remove all CO2 is probably not going to work. I don't think the AT is not consuming it, you're just producing more.

You might consider filtering the CO2 into a chamber(use a logic filter or a normal 120W one) and using it later to feed slicksters (they turn CO2 into crude oil, which is useful!). OR if you just want to get rid of the CO2 - use a CO2 scrubber.

no no, i think he's talking about the fact that in some of the screenshots it clearly says "consuming carbon dioxide", whereas in the others, it does NOT say its consuming (unknown reason why?).

one of five is consuming..... it cannot be satisfied. and it will not consume soon. why I have to be afraid all time with instability of A.T?

They only consume co2 if they are sitting in it. Once they release O2, if it can't go anywhere and be replaced with CO2, then they the AT won't absorb CO2.  You need to switch to a CO2 scrubber and electrolyzer instead of ATs before cycle 100.  And you need to build the electrolyzer inside a room that separates out the hydrogen and oxygen and cools the oxygen instead of just venting both hot gasses into the open air.  Look up SPOM.

 

This issue happens after AT produced polluted water, this bug appeared after ranching upgrade...

I hope this will be fixed soon too

It is also dissapointing to me. Consuming CO2 stops after cleaning polluted water by duplicant. Please fix it.

After leaving early access, I expected this bug was already fixed...

I check & stop played whenever Algae Terrarium not consuming CO2

Look it's not that bad, restarting the game or replacing the AT will temporarily fix it. My best solution is to simply use a carbon skimmer.
