Hi i wanna learn ways to cool the robo miner . im already using the door crusher from @SamLogan

Hi all. Something I want to point out. Thinking about the fact that an aquatuner is only transfering the heat, but the steam turbine is deleting heat, I've imagined this kind of setup. Please this note this is not a model setup. This post's goal is just to give you the main idea. Then up to you to adapt it depending on your cooling uses. Also note that I didn't calculate anything. I'm not regular with this kind of math gymnastic, but depending of the temp & the quantity of material you aim to cool, and depending of the number of aquatuner you're using, I'm guessing you can calcutate every temperature into this setup, to be sure steam chamber will not be too hot, which could lead your aquatuner to overheat, but more over your steam turbine to spread out the heat excess, and then maybe go over the 120°C limit. I'm guessing some mathematics juggler as @mathmanican should be able to set a spreadsheet about those temp° limit, as it does exist some, at a certain point. Here it is : Those shots are just an idea for you to conceptualize it. The same cooling effect your applying to the liquid or element at the bottom, is used to keep your turbine cooled. If you're bringing element over 120°C to be cooled, and if you're bringing it on a large amount, think about cooling the turbine before the element. But if you're bringing too much heat for a 100% timing used aquatuner, think about adding another aquatuner. The steam then will produce more watts, but you'll consume 1200W more. So anyway it's not electrical self-sustaining, more heat to delete will cost you more watts. This pretty ugly setup I've set is showing the big petrol basin to cool down, slowly but surely, and same for the turbine. That's logical, since I'm not bringing new heat here. But that's demonstrating that it's cooling positive. I hope I'm bringing a new concept to some of you. The idea is to avoid any other external cooling method for the steam turbine, so mainly forget about any wheezewort here. Have a nice day everyone !

Hello, I found this guy pretty close to my base and couldn't resist taming it as early as possible. It's the first time I deal with one of its kind. I was surprised to see its output is shy but continuous. Cute. I decided to use Saturnus' waterfall liquid compressor model for this but soon I realized gold amalgam pump can't stand the 330C oil it leaks. I guess even steel steel wouldn't do the job. So I started wondering if it's possible to use the same design of compressor combined with some cooling method efficient enough to keep damage away from my pump. My initial idea is to run cool pwater in radiant pipes from a cool slush geyser through the pump but I have no idea how to calculate that temperature exchange between the too hot oil from the leaky fissure and the too cold pwater running across it. Maybe Mr. @mathmanican can help with that. I also thought about a more strong setup with hydrogen around the cell, refined metal walls instead of insulated tiles and boxing up 2 or 3 wheezeworts. I'm affraid from both under cooling damaging my pump in the long term AND over cooling (as I don't want that oil to become solid in a couple hundred cycles). It would be a nightmare to undo all the mess and I'll probably drop the colony instead of fixing it. The good thing of being uncapable to calculate results in ONI is I never know what will happen! All is mistery and magic lol. This time I'd like to skip the suspense with some help because oh boi breaking the wall from the compressor to fix the design later can be the end of my run.

Dear community, Recently I started tapping into the metal volcanos with below build from the forums, thank you for the one showing this build, I couldn't find the forum page back anymore, I deleted the bookmark. The build is working perfect for me but I have a question regarding the aquatuner. How can I efficiently cool the aquatuner or contain the aquatuner from overheating and breaking? Thanks,

Hi all, I've just pushed an update to Oni Assistant that has added the new Steam Turbine and Ice Machine to the Oni Cooling Calculator. The math is based on great discussions on the forums and oni-assistant's code inspection. Please do challenge the new outputs, in particular the ice machine. I should note however that the devs declared that they are planning on tweaking the ice machine further. Even after accounting for dupe time, it seems quite powerful. I do think that with the addition of the final steam turbine and the new ice maker, the role of a fixed output temp heat deleter like the water sieve is largely supplanted (unless you need the polluted -> fresh conversion anyway). So I wouldn't be surprised to see that building patched in the future. Nonetheless, the tool is updated so enjoy making comparisons between methods and picking that which fits your use case. If you have any suggestions I'm always interested to hear them. Cheers

Hi all, Oni Assistant just released another new tool to help you play Oni, this time a Cooling Calculator. The tool is built on the premise that cooling in Oni is a two step process: Conduct the heat away from what you want to cool to somewhere it can be deleted. Delete the heat. This tool lets you calculate how much heat energy you need to move and delete, then provides options for how you can delete that heat. Note that if you’re looking to cool an entire geyser, the Oni Geyser Calculator already has this functionality built in. This tool is more felxible allowing you to cool any amount of any element and providing more options for that cooling. As always, I’m looking for feedback on how the tool might be improved for your use. Please let me know below.
