Same from me! 🫶🤗😘

and the most dangerous thing is, that it releases pollutant. important for the atmo INSIDE the base. spraycans releases pollutants too - for the info ^^

I'm very happu to learn that people are finding these useful! Hope you're enjoying the game!

It's on my to-do list, though I want to get through the new player essentials first.

Thank you for the kind words, I am very happy to see people are finding it useful!

Do you use cold night-time atmosphere then compress it to liquefy P and CO2 out to have just N and O2 left?

@@AlekkiPlays Indeed, using 3x Vents (one for pressure, one for base input, one for base pressure relief). For Pollutant gathering I use one vent during the day. Making an exhaust with several one way valves you can raise the pressure in the pipe Networks during the day to continuously condense Pollutant at 5Mpa out of Mars atmo.

Why would someone need condensed pollutant?

@@sashgorokhov Pollutant makes a great expansion/condensation medium for "livable" temperatures. The phase change heat exchangers (which I don't touch on here as they're a more advanced topic) can use it was a work fluid between about -95C and 152C.

@@sashgorokhov Exactly what Alekki ist saying. Pollutant makes for an excellent gas for phase change mechanics betwewn -95 - +150 degrees as it has one of the widest response ranges of the gasses out there. Water would be even better - but only at temperatures above 0° Celsius, not below. I am currently expanding my tampering with vent to actually do Mars atmosphere separation only using phase change dynamics and separating the different gasses by manipulating their temperatures and pressures. Pollutant: needs normal temperature and moderate pressure to condense CO2: needs cold (night air works perfectly) Nitrogen: needs VERY cold (-90°) to condense, but -90° is still within the phase change range of Pollutant, if you manage to somehow get the Pollutant to be less than -10° Celsius on the "hot" side of a phase change system. Voila - only Oxygen left. Clean separation for VERY little power use (50-100W for 1-2x Phase change devices, 100W for an Active Vent and optionally 100W per Purge Valve installed as safety in the system. To make it a really automatic "set it and forget it" system, I will probably need to to some IC10 coding of a few Digital Valves or alternatively use atmospheric filtering units (without filters!) as quasi pressure regulators with built in pipe analyzers (filtration units can read all gas data on both input and output ports.)

Yeah, I am planning to circle back to those systems in a few episodes. Once I cover the basics, I will dedicate a number of episodes to actually playing through the early game in sequence with step by step explanations (first breathable room, airlock, a water system, first temperature control, getting food, etc) For atmosphere I've always used O2 and CO2 in some acceptable mix, with some tangential N left over from the oxite atmosphere approach I show in this video. Now some plants need a little N, so replentishing N may make sense. In the past I also did all my industry in a separate vacuum room so there was little risk of explosions with a high O2 atmosphere in my living quarters as I never handled Volatiles there. With the next update a lot of that may change as it will incentivize not being in your suit 24/7, so a breathable atmosphere in my industry room may be desirable.

If you remove CO2 and Pollutant from Mars air, you end up with the 64/36 gas mix you mention whichbis good enough for breathing. For a more realistic atmosphere you would want to get something like 23% oxygen, 2 percent CO2 and 75% nitrogen, but it has no effect ingame.

You're welcome! Sorry the game isn't working out for you. I agree that the controls are quite complicated. Though if you do manage to get over that learning curve, they become second nature and there's 100s or 1000s of hours of fun in the main systems of the game (plus the devs are very active in adding/improving content multiple times a year so it still feels quite fresh 1100+h in).

Happy to hear these are coming in handy! Let me know if you have any specific topics you'd like to see.

It'll be coming soon. Already working on it - Electricity.

@@AlekkiPlays can't wait, just got it and it's absolutely ridiculous to offer the game w/o tutorial

Thank you!

Glad it helped!

I appreciate hearing that! I didn't know how useful people would find this since usually those in the community have already overcome the initial learning curve, but I wanted to bridge the gap at least for those interested but who are held back by in-game tutorials not being available right now. And it's a fun personal journey of learning about video editing too!

Glad to hear! That was one of my reasons for starting this, I saw a lot of people hit the learning wall and give up before they could truly experience the game. Part 2 on building structures and machines is now up - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGa5g4uofd2Mfbc
