I love that you expand the water tank to space and yet leave in the the tiles "protecting" the neutronium. :P You can protect transit tubes from pressure damage with a drop of any other liquid or a gas, similar to what you did for heavy watt joint plates on your Rime map.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Ohhhh how did I forget that. We will have to install some transit tubes so we can collect the fish meat.

You can also just use a gas-lock to keep the liquid in, can't you? (Similar to how you normally use a liquid lock to keep gases from mixing, but the other way round.)

I did the same type of build just a day or two ago with the water tank up the entire side of the base. I added some pacu and set up automation to feed them and collect eggshells etc…there’s an awful lot of them in there now 😅 but they’ve certainly got the space! Instead of vacuuming the tank out, i left it with some chlorine at the top to keep it sterile, but opening it to space for overflow to boil off into the vacuum is a neat idea too!

[@PowerXsardi2]

5:23 You may get rid of 'extensions' by making some overpressure liquid vents at bottom of the tank with a small blob of crude oil or whatever. Also for a concern of getting in tank easily at 7:23 - it's possible to make a U-shaped liquid-lock with heavy liquid that would allow dupes to hop into the middle sections without a risk of spillage. It'd be a bit tricky with already filled tank tho.

[@FerrybigGaming]

Consider making a liquid lock inside the water tank to make a under water access. Make sure to use a liquid heavier than water

[@introprospector]

Digging the igneous rock in the magma biome deletes most of the heat. Just send the dupes in and dig anything 4-5 tiles from the liquid stuff, it goes super fast

When processing Salt Water, then that precaution at 3:00 is necessary, as the temperature for the output materials matches the temperature of the input. But unless the Brine mechanics have changed, there should be a temperature floor for processing Brine (40°C or hotter, if the input materials are hotter). The desalinator has always been a strange one in that regard. Can't verify that ingame at the moment, due to a very much melted GPU.

They changed the mechanics: brine no longer has the 40C floor.

I would build an infinite radbolt loop for the rockets and the diamond presses. Should save a lot of manual interaction

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Radbolts dissipate at a rate of 1 bolt per tile so no matter how you loop it they will always fade away. But we have enough from the rocket I'm not to worried.

and I was feeling happy about my one little diamond press running off of one little reactor XD wow that is broken! love it

[@GluMonkey]

Here is one thing I do feel the infinite storage will be kind of a NEED at some point bc of the amount of processing power but might need to test it. So maybe don't say no not at all but at the same time of it isn't really a noticable difference in performance you still have SOO much space already and that would probably be the only other reason to go with infinite storage

Your methodology, personality, and delivery are why I watch and support you; I don't play Rimworld or Shipbreaker, but I watched your videos. I strongly encourage you to expand and play games that you, personally, enjoy, regardless of the YT viewers! I think I speak for most of your supporters that we want you to be happy and excited about the game; that enthusiasm is infectious and engaging, regardless of the game.

A three part series on the wonders of S.T.A.L.K.E.R is fine by me. But doing a 30 episode series on a game that most viewers are not interested in feels a bit rude.

[@annoyannoy]

Now double the capacity of that water tank with liquid reservoirs :)

[@shimeycopperfield3685]

You can enter the water tank through the side wall by using a liquid lock with any liquid that is heavier than water (e.g. petroleum), because water always float above petroleum, so it cannot push through the petroleum in the lock. You don't need to destruct the radbolt reflector, you can just use automation wire on it, when the signal is red, it will ignore the incoming radbolts. You don't need visco-gel to make vertical liquid lock, you can just use 2 different types of liquid to make it, it is just a little bit tricky to make it 1-tile width. Hm.. I don't know if it will improve the PC performance, but will you consider to vacuum out all the area outside of the living area? You know, the more tiles that contain gas or liquid, the more CPU power needed to calculate the flows of them. I see you don't like to use infinite storage, but don't think it as cheating, think it as performance saving maybe?

[@FrancisJohnYT]

The game is running pretty slow, but I'm hoping when we wipe out a few hundred bees things will speed up a bit. Will have to try the oil liquid lock trick, if it works will save a bunch of time.

Hey Francis, dont suppose you ever figured out a way of automating delivery of radbolts to the material science station. Dripfeeding 50 or even 100 radbolts at a time seems like wasting time and the last few techs are soo tedious haha!

[@ApoNono3891]

I do a dupe motion sensor and a timer sensor into an and gate to activate the radbolts. It mostly works but occasionally you will hit the point where you dupes get through the supplied rad bolts before the timer goes off and you have to manually fill the material station. To accomplish this I put a switch on the dupe sensor side, flip it on and hit the reset on the timer sensor. Oh - I usually set the rad bolts to get as close to 100 into the machine as I can and set the timer to 65-75 seconds.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Have not got a rock solid system that will work no matter what. Their are to many variables. Like even with sensor systems and multiple science stations their is always the chance you just don't have enough rads. Though I suppose with enough stations it should be possible.

Does radbolt dissipate faster when exposed to the void of space? I just put a line of background tile to stop that if it is true.

In real life, radiation would dissipate faster in solids, gases or liquids than in vacuum. I don't know what they implemented here.

Not sure, radboilts dissipate at 1 per tile in Vacuum. In gas over short distances it also appear to be one per tile.

Is there any use for the salt and dirt you get out of the water filtration? You could add some conveyor to pull it out. Would clean it up a bit.

Would need to cool it first and I'm not bothered. If we start to run out of dirt we can start harvesting it.

It looks a little uneven. Needs another one on the other side.
