SSST (Self sustaining steam turbine)
tzionut posted a topic in [Oxygen Not Included] - General Discussion
Tempering whit my accidental discover pumping gas without a pump i present the self sustaining power efficient, pump less steam turbine, without blocked ports, and power efficient steam turbine, or how i like to call it SSST. It uses the rule (one element per tile) for moving the steam up. How it works : I drop petroleum at 200g/s on the tile occupied by the supercolant (100gr) and petroleum drip on the wall creating void under pushing in this way the steam up. I put an element sensor and a not circuit for limiting the pump working time and be more power efficient. When the steam reach over 3kg and 230 Celsius degrees, the turbine start and the battery are charged. I attached the savefile it you want to further test and improve this design. I design this for fun and for see if is possible, It uses the one element per tile rule and the same principle that moves liquids up if you have 2 gases (the cascade effect). I call this the drip effect that push gases up if you drip liquids on a wall using the conflict between 2 liquids. Best regards and have fun whit it. Power free steam turbine.sav- 10 replies

Do you like your long term base?

Hello colony managers, After the full release of QoL II I'm considering to drop my 1700 cycle colony to start over. (that itchy!! is it just me?) I have hundreds of hours spent in the game already but I feel there is so much to learn still (this tells a lot about the replayability of this incredible game). I do better each new save I start and I've been increasing the number of duplicants I can take care of. As I'm no engineer nor super creative inventor, I need to take inspiration from others work to improve myself in this game (truely amazing systems I meet here everyday, thanks for sharing). Differently from the single systems people most commonly post, I would really love to see pictures of full old well stablished bases to take ideas of better ways to develop my own next colony. I think my colonies don't age well. Things are too far from a main core and duplicants spend most of their time traveling and sleeping. Simple tasks in space biome take an eternity. Also, I feel like maybe I'm doing excessive exploration and digging way too much. My map is ugly and inefficient. Do you have an old colony you are proud of? I would love to take a look. Cheers!
