When you are trying to cool a solid, it is also a good idea to run it in a loop rather than dead ending. If you have it dead end, and that end of the room is warmer than others, it may never release. By keeping the conveyor rotating, everything gets to equalize temp.
How to build a Conveyor Loop... This is a lot of trial and error to find the easiest solution... Build a loop of conveyor rails. At some point place your Conveyor Shutoff leaving the loop. Within the Loop, immediately after the shutoff place a bridge that sets the direction of travel for the loop. (delete the segment under the bridge of course). Then you can place a conveyor loader anywhere on the loop (after the bridge). Hope that is clear. Please ask if you have any questions.
I strongly recommend that you set up a tamer for the iron volcano, and cork up the magma volcano (Coal temp shift plate over the tile of interest will turn to a tile of Refined Carbon after next eruption, re-sealing the volcano. The amount of igneous rock it produces is trivial. I can't remember exactly, but I think an average volcano could only produce enough igneous to feed 3 or 4 hatches?
@@zelusinsanitas8125 I just noticed that. You can deconstruct all those tiles you have filling in the nowhere down below, or deconstruct some of your drywall. That stuff is expensive. Also, each TSP is 800kg. Some of those cases where you went overkill on the TSPs, you could deconstruct half of them. You still have lots of stone, it is just temporarily being used. I don't think you have anything that consumes stone (other than possibly a few hatches), so your planet should have the same amount of stone it had when you started. It's just in different places.
@@zelusinsanitas8125 You can run space missions with cargo containers to bring back stone if you really need it. Generally you focus space mining on the rare resources, but if you need stone, that's easy enough. A few steam rockets running to the closest planets should get you back in the game.
@@zelusinsanitas8125 You can also replace the floors and walls in the base with Metal tiles made from gold or lead (whichever you have more of). It increases dupe run speed +50% and has +15 decor in a 4 tile radius (+22 if gold). Replacing any insulated pipes with normal pipes where you can, will also free up lots of stone.
Uhhh... You don't have a steel door to stop the heat from the right when your steam is over 200c. That means that you will have steam easily over 1000c Bad things may happen.
I think running Crude oil through there is a very bad idea. If it ever gets over 400c (ish) it will flash to petroleum, breaking the pipe. That petroleum which is now on the ground will then flash to 1500c Sour Gas, overheating everything on the right side.
Great job stopping at a sane amount of water for the steam room :)

Yes but......
I hit rock bottom on my rock supply, sooo I kinda need that trivial amount of rocks. D:

Bad things may happen.
Your mini pump is also made from plastic. If it has to handle gas over 150c, it will melt.

Oh yeah it breaks the pipe. If it didn't that would be SO easy to make Petroleum :)

@@zelusinsanitas8125 Sounds like bad news.
