I'm only now starting to realize how in depth this game actually is, that is absolutely incredible. Seems to be one of those games you start playing and suddenly you realise it's 2AM, I like it
Correction, suddenly you realize its 7am LOL
Wait a minute! You guys built clocks in game too!
One thing is worth noting - if you set up a vent system to pressurize/depressurize chamber, remember that passive vent transfers heat if it's exposed. I did place my passive vent on the chambers roof, and could figure out why furnace is constantly losing heat ( and therefore the pressure :) )
Built one of these on the moon and pressurized it using the furnace gasses. Something I didn't realize at first, those gasses still contain a burnable/explosive mix, so I lost the walls and windows a few times, also was initially using volatiles and oxite ices to fuel it which made things a bit more explosive I believe. Filtered out the O2 from the room and everything is good now.
Seems like a good way to heat up the new cans of soup too. ;P Hopefully I will stop starting over after this next run, so that I can make it this far.
TH-cam will not let me give this a thumbs up for each time of the 80 times I have watched this video perfecting this system..... thank you soo much *80
Great guide thanks. I've gone wrong somewhere as the temp / pressure between tank and furnace does not equalize. In fact the temp / pressure in the furnace is umping all over the place. From 800 degrees down to -100 and then back up again and ranges in between - all in just a few seconds.
It is glitchy at low pressures. Fire it a few times or put in some ore to build pressure.
I'm really struggling to make Waspaloy. I tried several setups of my own design that could all relatively easily produce every alloy other, but could never get the right conditions for waspaloy. I finally decided to replicate your setup here as closely as I possibly could from what's shown in the videos. I didn't include all the automation. I just used a few switches and regular logic chips to be able to remotely control the different valves and things. But I still can't manage to make waspaloy. I can get the pressure up over 50mpa but it's always far too hot, and by the time it cools down from opening the valve to the cooling pipe the pressure has dropped to 25-30mpa. I can pump more fuel in and get the pressure back up to over 50mpa again, but then the temperature goes right back to where it was. Had about a dozen explosions experimenting with different fuel priming levels and starting temperatures before ignition. Luckily I had the foresight to make a save before I started experimenting.
The only viable solution I can think of is to not use fuel at all and go with an inert gas to pressurize both the furnace itself and the chamber. Then rely on wall heaters to provide the heat needed. It would obviously take a significant amount of time to get the temperature up to where it needs to be, but it's the only way I can think of to be able to significantly increase the pressure inside the furnace without also spiking the temperature way up. It might not be a very viable setup for most other smelting since most things require much higher temperatures, but at this point I'm thinking maybe it's best to have one setup specifically for waspaloy that just stays where it needs to be at all times, and have another one setup more normally I use for regular smelting and making all the other alloys.
You might need to pump in cold gas to lower the temps while keeping the pressure up. I have the option to mix in cryo N2 with an extra gas mixer to control temp. I know it's 1 year ago but still, there you go. Alternatively, throw in any ice manually as an ingredient (not volatile + oxide, just pick one).
Finding the electrolyzer quite slow. Is the speed effected by the temperature of water going in or whether it is pumped in? currently using passive tank pressure.
It's just slow. Not sure if water temp matters, but I'm on Mars and it's slow.
You could add in a 2nd one if you want. Or rig up a tank with some system to stop it from blowing it into the furnace at once.
Thanks so much for doing these videos! I used your code from the gas harvester video and my own feng shui setup for my gas filtration system. The only question I really have is about the filtration units powering on and off constantly. Are they supposed to do that? Thanks!
Yes, If there is not enough gas available to collect, it will switch off to save power.
@@cowsareevil7514 If you're interested, and when I'm done, I'll make a short TH-cam video showcasing my own gas filtration build which is modelled mostly after your own. :)
Please do publish your version. I build it slightly different each time with little improvements, you might have found something I haven't thought of yet.

I swear that everything I try in this game, I re-evaluate my IQ down. I believe I'm into negatives now! For some reason, my advanced furnace/small tank output, does not retain the pressure/temp balance between the two. The furnace just keeps dropping to 0/0. Output: no valves or anything - just pipe to tank; branch off, with a closed pipe valve, to radiatored pipe Input: volume pump, switched off.
Check that you have used insulated pipes for all of the hot pipes. There is a world save linked in the description if you want to have a closer look.
Check the following: the issue I had was actually not having the correct pressure inside the furnace room. Use the active vent outside behind to raise the pressure to something like 40 Kp, then once the room is hot you can get the furnace running and stable (once equilizing with the tank).
Going mad trying to work out pressure in the furnace room as I would pump in gas and it kept dropping back to 2-3kpa...... until I realised I took a wall off and my room was not pressurized anymore..... we are our own errors 9 times out of 10.
Hello, how do you balance the heat and pressure between adv. furnace and the tank in this video? When I turn the pump on it naturally pumps everything to waste, If I don't then tank doesn't get anything to balance.
Thank you for your help.
which circuitboards do i install in the consoles?
Loving all your vids. Should this furnace lose temperature over time? I can't seem to get it to normalize over 1000 Celsius. I can also see atmo leave the front of the furnace when throwing in new ore.
The system transfers heat between the furnace and the waste tank so the furnace temperature should equalise with the waste tank. If you want the furnace to stabilise over 1000C then you will have to burn enough to get your waste tank over 1000 also. The atmo effects are just visual, you wont be able to detect anything with your instruments.
Thx for the tutorial. Really lovinng this. But I am also missing something. How do you lower the temperature of the furnace? It seems no matter how much gass i let out to the waste tank temps in furnace just keeps high
Ah I actually filled the frame where the furnace was, which most likely prevented heat transfer furnace/waste tank. :D
Mick does this still work in the current beta? Not sure what I did wrong, but my waste tank isn't cooling down my furnace.
Do I need a heat exchanger now? I thought you had the furnace incased in a frame but not being sure I tried removing the frame and I still cannot cool my furnace with the waste tank. Thought maybe it was the digital valve causing issues so I swapped it for the manual one but that also had the same results.
Hi, thx for vid. Question, wich circuit board card is in the middle console to show the ingots and how to configure with the disk that ingots show at the display?
Hash display.
Thank you for making this, but for noobs like me could you show a bit more?
Some of the wiring (mostly the ic chip, but consoles to be safe too) and steps had to guess (like the center console chip).
Also had to tear stuff out to add in pipes and wires you could have shown in a better order. Don't mean to come across as rude or the like just some feedback if you like it.
Thanks for the feedback. It is difficult to set a pace and level of detail that is suitable for all levels. The consoles and piping were covered in the basic furnace tutorial so I skipped over it quickly in this one.
@@cowsareevil7514 Ah, that's fair. Suppose you could quickly say or add a text box (Whatever TH-cam calls it) somewhere with some extra details? Might be a middle ground, newer players can stop and read it while older guys can just keep going.
I was able to figure it all out, just took a bit.
Been going through your videos and they've been quite helpful even if had to stop and figure out what you did in some of them. Made my own 1st base with no help and while it works....it's um yeah. So using that as "production" platform to make a planned out real one.
What platine is in the Console?
What would you do now that you can add water to the furnace to clear heat?
Ice will melt in the chutes and overpressurise the furnace room.
Just asking. Does this setup actually work in moon? I mean that Electrolyzer and water. In my furnace first setup and there's almost minus 200 C inside. I don't think that melts anything at the moment. :D
Clicking the activate button will melt the ice
@@cowsareevil7514 Yeah sure. I know that. What I meant was , that does this simple solution actually work on moon , cause there is no atmosphere . Do you have any suggestion for me? I have same setup exactly what you did and it seems to freeze that gas . There is plenty of pressure, but no warmth.
@@Hytizz put some gas in the room with the waste tank, any gas will do but if its vacuum you will lose all the heat
would you please help me build it?
you just jump to the furnace being on. How much are the values input and output set to?
You only turn them on when you need them. Start with low settings and then work up to higher settings as you become more familliar with the build. Or continue with the next video and automate them.
@@cowsareevil7514 I watched, great vids. to clarify you only automate the release of pressure? Add it in to get it where you want then leave it?
Why is the waste tank needed, versus just venting it?
The heat from the waste tank will transfer back into the furnace reducing fuel demand. It will still work without it.
@@cowsareevil7514 Thanks! Somehow I missed that you said that in the video.
I've built this several times and constantly it fails, are you able to upload a save file so I can see how I'm managing to screw it up so badly?? :)
My first attemp at sharing a world save, I hope this worked:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2351501280
@@cowsareevil7514 Thanks, will give it a look and see how I've screwed up!
big logic
My IC housing is blink all time. nothing happen i copy and paste the code from workshop - computer to the chip- i make all settings like in the saved world. and nothing happen.
If the IC housing is blinking then you have pin connections wrong.
@@cowsareevil7514 Maybe. you can make short video for conection and settings ? i try and try again . nothing happen xD
IC logic are looking really complicate to learn,write and read. I mean, sne r0 r0 0. This language is a unique language used for Stationeers. too complicate for me lol, i'll stick with logic circuit.
