Why is there a sculpting block lol

funny

#

isn't it wasting power to have the steam chamber conveyor shutoff running while the rock cools down?

#

I usually do the opposite, and enable the shutoff when rock is cool enough

vital cosmos Jan 31, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

If you use a temp sensor to trigger the magma injection and the weight plate to toggle the conveyor loader, you can often avoid using a shutoff entirely

#

and there's also the rail temp sensor + chute option to dump it out somewhere the main autosweeper can't reach

#

I'd recommend adding in a storage mechanic, escher waterfall or something similar, so that the setup can be throttled to meet dynamic power needs without risking losing any magma production.

#

also heat exchanger on top of turbines is completely not needed, you can submerge turbines in three layers of liquid and use that space for heat exchange. you will save lot of space. and about losing magma, that's serious, You should redesign everything to be able to store excess magma to use it when volcano is dormant, and probably you would better have 3 turbines and rocket batteries stacked to have where to store energy

#

oh, and that loop of conveyor rails by the turbines where is a vacuum - doesn't make any sense as it is now. there is no heat exchange in vacuum.

#

how am i supposed to make an infinite storage for this

#

for the magma

#

@vital cosmos can i have the automation for this pls

#spaced-out-help message

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

thanks

#

how exactly do you prime a magma escher?

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

Let the magma fill it, then you can reach in to deconstruct pipe segments like in the escherwaterfall tag

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

ok so i have that so far

#

so umm

#

it's got chlorine on the top tile

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

that's fine, any two gases work

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

so do i have to fill in the inf storage tile first?

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

Actually since you already have a gas in you can put a pipe segment with CO2 there and rely on it melting to release the gas

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

wait what

#

but like

#

theres gas on both of them

#

is that bad

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

Oh cool, then yeah just put the walls in and let the magma flow in

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

will that work?

#

what happens if it piles up in the wrong place

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

It should push that CO2 back into the escher I think, as long as you keep the doors closed

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

okay

#

cool

#

i'll put in the automation

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

Worst case you can reload 😄

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

true

#

i had to reduce save frequency bc lag

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

always smart to make a save before doing anything big

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

ye

#

i just have to move this magma biome up so it'll all flow in

#

just pushing it up

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

vital cosmos

what should the weight plate be set to?

#

and the conveyor thermo sensor

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

there's a message with the settings a little below the linked message

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

oh ok

#

thx

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

Also no need to keep pinging

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

soz

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 7:12 PM

#

it's not really working

last crow Apr 21, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

I think that's supposed to be a vacuum, isn't it?

azure raft Apr 21, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

no

#

it's an escher

#

the 2 gasses are meant to be stacked

vital cosmos Apr 21, 2023, 7:17 PM

#

Then yeah you'll need to corner build that CO2 away and then do the gas pipe trick to put one in the escher

azure raft Apr 22, 2023, 7:05 PM

#

ish why does my one not work

#

the door keeps being opened for too long so it fills the weight plate tile too much and it creates natural tiles under the mesh tiles

vital cosmos Apr 22, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

are you powering that door?

#

Also you'll want a tempshift plate above the weight plate

azure raft Apr 23, 2023, 9:10 AM

#

ye both of them

#

just set the temp to be like 210 when the room was like 120c and it poured like 30t into the room

#

i think my usage of naptha because its the only thing i have might not be the best

#

should i remove some of the naptha so it's less mass heats up faster

vital cosmos Apr 23, 2023, 9:15 AM

#

I'd replace the naphtha with petroleum tbh, the low TC us your enemy here. Steam works too.

azure raft Apr 23, 2023, 9:15 AM

#

yea but i dont have it

#

im on frozen forest

#

melting glossy plastic is the best i'll get

vital cosmos Apr 23, 2023, 9:15 AM

#

You don't have steam?

azure raft Apr 23, 2023, 9:16 AM

#

i'll use steam ig

#

do i just open it to the whole room or just put some water in there

vital cosmos Apr 23, 2023, 9:17 AM

#

Put some water there, making all the heat go through that tile gives you fine control

azure raft Apr 23, 2023, 9:18 AM

#

cool

I know I’m days late for this, but what I did was to hook my thermo sensor to a rising edge detector (signal counter set to count to 1 in advanced mode, output hooked to reset), then to a 1s buffer gate, then the door, and I always get exactly 480kg of igneous dropped at a time.

Though technically I have a timer in there as well, just to make startup simpler. So really it’s a thermo sensor set to “green above 238C” hooked to a timer set to 9 seconds green, 1 second red. Both of those go to a NOT gate input and the gate output connects to the signal counter. So every 10 seconds I’ll get 480kg of hot igneous dropped into the petroleum.

If it’s not clear, the timer is there to keep the system from locking up if a single “deposit” of magma doesn’t manage to raise the temp over 238C. Without it the magma dropper will not trigger again.

#

Note my temps are that high because I have a six turbine double volcano setup, and the far end of the steam room gets under 200C if I go colder
