They are controlled in sets of 3 each set on separate loop with single bridge bypass. Add a couple of weezworts with tempshift metal plates behind them into the hydrogen ( the longer you can stretch those the better that cold will spread.) Hydrogen changes temp quicker than other gasses. I did not even bother controlling all thermoregulators separately, it will reduce temperature fluctuations and make system a bit more efficient but piping required would be a bit annoying. For a quick heat eater build a room at the top of your base to catch hydrogen. In terms of automation this are 4 separate simple cooling loops with limits on aquatuner/thermoregulator inpit (to avoid freezing coolant) and on reservoir output to set target temperature. Thermo-regulators and aquatuners are steel, water has to be boiled into steam by aquatuners before thermo-regulators are enabled or they will overheat. The idea here is that oxygen is cooled to ~0C by p-water/aquatuner, then to ~-100C by ethanol/aquatuner and then to liquifaction by hydrogen/thermoregulator. It consumes more power than aquatuner/supercoolan one, by probably ~500-1000W, but with how easy power is to come by late game i never replaced it, even when i mostly switched to hydrogen for fuel. It's a bit overengineered, i planned on using 2kg/s of oxygen but only ever did 1kg/s, for which 3 thermo-regulators should be enough. It is also possible to bypass solid oxydizer if you wish to, it will require several trips with steam rocket, but if it's automated with short travel time to nearest destination it does not take long. Just for the sake of providing options/choice - it is totally possible to make LOX without supercoolant and even not as inefficient as it might seem. It's important to build the regulator with steel! The turbine sucks it up and turns the steam intor water again. What happens now is, that the regulator turns water into steam. Put some water in the room with the regulator.īuild a pipe from the turbine output into the regulator room. Put the regulator (steel !!!) in an isolated room.īuild a steam turbine on top of the room. Though wouldn't this eventually turn to steam, then eventually break the system? He did state in the post that he just spawned it in using debug, but didn't really explain how it would "normally" be cooled. The image looks to show him pulling some water to drip onto the regulator. What I don't get: How do you keep the regulator from over heating? What I get: Cool hydrogen down low enough to eventually condensate the oxygen with the tempshift and radiant pipes. I saw an image of how to make liquid oxygen, and the basics are 1) room with radiant pipes/tempshift plates, and 2) room with cooling unit and a temp sensor to ensure you don't liquefy the hydrogen in the radiant pipes. (my reference images come from Neotuck's images: ) Originally posted by Monoxide:Ok, so I have been researching this a bit, and I think I get like 90% of whats going on, but I have some questions.
