Vilda Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I find it interesting that so many people are obsessed with a vacuum when CO2 works just as well regardless of it's temperature. Which is what bothers me with this system - 200°C CO2? Nah, no problem, it is sterile, the food will be okay indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka CO2, Hydrogen, Chlorine out of regular gases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilda Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Good to know, but these there are the main ones you will probable meet. Having steam as storage gas seems fun, but duplicants would get cooked every time they pick up breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigggy2000 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 If fridges could cool water as well as freeze water to ice then that would give them a bit more use I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like that items in cold environments had a nice delay in spoilage (the way it is right now) and sterile environments have the same treat instead of stopping spoilage, I would also like that fridges halve spoilage and completely stop it if you freeze food, that would need to be defrost to be edible.

Risu Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 They actually both modify the spoilage rate in the same way. Though there appears to be a bug with the refrigeration modifier. Typo likely. if (this.UnrefrigeratedModifier.Value != 0f && this.ContaminatedAtmosphere.Value != 0.5f) { this.RotAmountInstance.deltaAttribute.Add("UnrefrigeratedModifier", this.UnrefrigeratedModifier); } if (this.ContaminatedAtmosphere.Value != 0f && this.ContaminatedAtmosphere.Value != 0.5f) { this.RotAmountInstance.deltaAttribute.Add("ContaminatedAtmosphere", this.ContaminatedAtmosphere); } Either way they both need to be dealt with to stop spoilage. Actually looking at it again, it would appear that CO2 is incorrectly deactivating the UnrefrigeratedModifier. When the temperature is bad it has -0.5 and a sterile atmosphere is 0.5. Because of the sterilization it can't apply the -0.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are saying that everything but iron gas, mercury gas, tungsten gas, carbon gas, and oxygen gas are sterile? Also, contaminated oxygen and phosphorous gas have the special contaminating quality so storing food under them will always rot, regardless of temperature.

Normal is 0, Contaminating is -0.5, and Sterilizing is 0.5. Somewhat confusing but that's kinda how the game is now. As it's unlikely they would allow rot to be removed by sterilization I guess the point of having 0.5 is to cancel out the temperature modifier, somehow. Otherwise there should be no advantage of it. They kinda are doing this now but it looks very much like a hack or bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilda Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 So if I understand how it should work. Refrigeration and sterility provide 0.5 bonus and when both present it stops rotting completely. Just does not work that way now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a while to understand it, I even had to make a table to see how the possible values interact, and to me it seems that the first if statement is a copy paste of the second. The first condition should only check whether is refrigerated or not. Deleting "&& this.ContaminatedAtmosphere.Value != 0.5f" should make it work as intended: Completely stopping spoilage occurs only if food is in a sterile and cold environment.

Except there being a 0 has same effect as 0.5 so being in oxygen is just as good as CO2 to prevent contamination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octyabr Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Oh my! you are right, I just short-circuited Sterile = Not Contaminated which is half true... Well, since it doesn't work as intended, better do a bug (exploit?) report about it using your findings if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
