Two hints. 1) If you accidently open a volcano you can reseal it with a temp shift plate made from coal. The volcano will erupt and convert the coal temp shift plate to a refined carbon tile with only a little leakage of material from the volcano. It even works on a Niobium volcano. 2) The bypass on your thermal aqua tuner is in the wrong place. The path though the aqua tuner is one longer than the bypass path and you can have stuttering under some circumstances. I noticed this a couple of years ago but Francis John also pointed it out not to long ago as something he had been doing wrong for years. Thanks for the content. I really enjoy it!
Hey Doug, I'm glad you enjoy the content! Thank you for your two hints! I was actually unaware of the coal temp shift plate trick, I don't think I ever opened a volcano on accident, so I never had to think about it, haha :D But it's definitely a great trick to have up your sleeve, thanks for that! I don't think I entirely understand the problem with the aqua tuner bypass and the stuttering. I don't think I have ever seen stuttering, at least not that I was aware of it. Could you tell me what needs to be changed and what exactly you mean with stuttering? I'm always open to learn something new and teach my viewers best practices :)
@@BierTier I wish there was a way to show a picture here. The normal facing of the tuner is input on the left and output on the right. In your build (and all mine until recently) the bridge input goes directly below the tuner input and the bridge faces right. The tuner output pipe goes down one and then to the right to meet up with the bypass output. In the revised arrangement the bridge is vertical over the tuner output. The input pipe of course hits the tuner input first, then goes up and right to meet the bridge input. The tuner output pipe goes down one tile to meet the bridge output. This makes both paths the same length and eliminates the tuner turn on stutter. There is also a problem when filling the loop that goes away with this change. I hope that was clear.
While I love the Rodriquez for oxygen, I thought one of the main points was for it to turn itself off when there was enough pressure so you didn’t have to store the excess (the reason for the atom sensors). This also helps keep your water from running out. If you want infinite storage, I like the submerged o2 generator setups. Great job!
You are right, it could do that if I used it differebtly(as a SPOM). I'm not using it that way though. I want to capture all the hydrogen for later use when needed. Currently my coal alone supplies sufficient power, but that will soon change. For that I need to store the hydrogen, and therefore also the Oxygen :)
21:45 - this is why i typically waste a little bit of metal on manual airlocks on a number of builds. When my dupes are done building, lock the door behind them. Of course if you're actually concerned about temperature exchange, this doesn't work so well.
You mentioned the air flow block and out it in place so the petroleum can spread out, what’s the difference between that and the insulated tile? Just started playing this game and love your videos
Here's hopefully a way to explain what everyone keeps trying to talk about with the aquatuner bypass: if you compare your aquatuner, such as at 5:02 to this image: cdn.forums.klei.com/monthly_2019_09/image.png.f280608456950d3d323362cd9cf62c8f.png yours is like the top one, which can leave gaps as the aquatuner turns on and off the bottom one won't leave gaps, this is the way people keep trying to convince you to do instead BUT, with the bottom one, depending on if the aquatuner is running or not when you fill the loop, you can get a packet that just sits stuck in the pipe right after the input, in the bypass, while the aquatuner is on, which on occasion might not be ideal so the "perfect" bypass would have 2 bridges, like the ones in these i.gyazo.com/06375d94aea03932592895cfc064dd1d.jpg
so in otherwords nearly all of the time the bottom one will work just fine, but in the case of "being extra careful" or loops youll be changing later, you might want to do the "perfect" ones

You don't need this optimised output when you have a liquid reservoir connected to the cooling loop.

You're my new favorite oni TH-camr
Thank you for this insane compliment 😊
Mine too 😊

Here's hopefully a way to explain what everyone keeps trying to talk about with the aquatuner bypass:
if you compare your aquatuner, such as at 5:02 to this image:
cdn.forums.klei.com/monthly_2019_09/image.png.f280608456950d3d323362cd9cf62c8f.png
yours is like the top one, which can leave gaps as the aquatuner turns on and off
the bottom one won't leave gaps, this is the way people keep trying to convince you to do instead
BUT, with the bottom one, depending on if the aquatuner is running or not when you fill the loop, you can get a packet that just sits stuck in the pipe right after the input, in the bypass, while the aquatuner is on, which on occasion might not be ideal
so the "perfect" bypass would have 2 bridges, like the ones in these
i.gyazo.com/06375d94aea03932592895cfc064dd1d.jpg
so in otherwords nearly all of the time the bottom one will work just fine, but in the case of "being extra careful" or loops youll be changing later, you might want to do the "perfect" ones
Thank you for the links, I appreciate it! That makes sense and now I actually see what they meant before. Will try to implement that from now on :)
Great content.
Thank you!
As a relatively new subscriber (and a new engineering student) I want to say that your content is amazing! Keep at it!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it :) And best of luck in your studies to become an engineer!
aha, finally caught up with the series
Nice :D
