GUNK Boiler Design #19 - Bionic Booster Pack DLC - Oxygen Not Included

[@rupertbear4447]

I think you need to take 10kg out of that cooling loop for the sour gas. When it bypasses the aquatuner it stalls.

[@GrindThisGame]

Probably yes.

[@rupertbear4447]

@@GrindThisGame I also run cooling loops through a liquid storage as close to the sensor as possible with a few kg's in it to more precisely regulate temps in the loop. helps prevent the aqua tuner from working too hard.

[@petersencb]

Thanks for the tour, some much needed housekeeping - looks like you did one of your throwback "fix my base" type episodes on your own base :)

[@GrindThisGame]

Everything is running quite smoothly actually.

[@ianmalkaviac]

The Gunk can be preheated by the sour gas and the cooling pipes should be made out of aluminum or cobalt as they have higher thermal conductivity. This would also save on the need to make that much steel. Steel is better used in conductive gas pipes as it has the highest thermal conductivity outside of space metals.

[@GrindThisGame]

I didn't have those metals but good idea :)

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

You look away for 5 seconds then bam!!! A boiler for power haha Definitely a well seasoned ONI player

[@zarquan3144]

10:35 Careful, volcano tamers like this occasionally end up with packets less than 1 gram in the loop. These packets don't transfer heat, so the thermo sensor will always shunt it back in to the chiller loop and eventually clog the conveyor loop to the point where no iron can get out. I like using conveyor meters for this, which allows me to use the chiller to operate over the entire run time of the volcano.

[@GrindThisGame]

I'll keep an eye on it.

[@Y2KNW]

I was gonna say you could pipe the sour gas into that solid methane gassification chamber to pre-chill the sour gas, but I'm guessing you want the aquatuner to have to work hard enough to generate the kind of heat required to make the gunk transition.

[@GrindThisGame]

yeah but it still might help save power. It was certainly a v1 attempt :)

[@carlosromero2839]

7:00 You can fix this by putting a liquid shutoff before the liquid valve. Connect an atmo sensor in the hot room to the liquid shutoff to only allow gunk to come in if the air pressure is ok.

[@carlosromero2839]

Or, of course, you can add another gas pump or two... Each gas pump does 500g and you're putting in 1300g.

[@carlosromero2839]

You also might want to keep an eye on the autosweepers in the cold room. Since all the gas is freezing, there's nowhere for the sweepers to offload their temperature and they might eventually overheat. This can be remedied with conduction panels which work in a vacuum. Hint: The thermal conductivity is especially important with conduction panels.

[@GrindThisGame]

All very good suggestions. The 2nd gas pump is very much needed.

[@Reeuwijk78]

Great progress! I noticed you gunk boiler is slurping up 1300g/s and a gas pump can displace 500g/s You need three of em to keep up and avoid liquid vent overpressure in the sourgas chamber at that rate.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yup

[@deatho0ne587]

Small opinations of the system before 5:00. 6 tile wide methane room needs some temp shift plates made out of almost anything. In the next room temp shift plates but also just let the original input go round and round, that way it does not need an auto-sweeper. Instead of using the gas pump of the sour gas room, use a three door system powerless pusher. Would add some liquid to where you are checking the temp of things, will just better get the temp you want.

[@jlashombjr]

Could you pipe the sour gas through your natural gas chamber before sending it to the freezer to save energy?

[@GrindThisGame]

Excellent idea!

[@flytothemoon50]

3:20 you can make timmer 10 sec per cycle and got all of them ship at the same time, it will reduce the electricity cost like 95%

[@timecrash85]

Generally I don't like to work with Sour Gas, not much uses except to convert it into Methane/Natural Gas. I rather store everything as Petroleum, since there are more uses for the liquid.

[@Hanmacx]

13:38 If my calculations are correct, Slime -> Phyto Oil -> Algae (46%) With (30%) Dirt, and (24%) CO2 Has a slightly better converting ratio than Algae Destiller (33%) With polluted water as byproduct (66%)

[@timecrash85]

Without Turbine setup, Liquid Tepidizer is great for Phyto Oil and Raw Egg.

[@Hanmacx]

@timecrash85 Also it allows to transform Slime into Petroleum using Phyto Oil and Gunk

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

So what you're saying is..... BOIL THE OIL!!!

[@Hanmacx]

13:47 I think Crude Oil for Lubrication has a higher Stress Reduction Bonus

[@TheBenlueks]

nice i wanted to see what gunk did. i think u need to do like heat exchangers and you could perfect it.

[@michaelriley9387]

for any builds that have solids on a rail to distrubute temperature, you should use a rail temp sensor and rail shut off to detect if the debris is the temp you want before removing it instead of having it drop on the ground and be picked up again, would probably save power for builds in the long run with the auto sweeper thing you're doing right now

[@michaelriley9387]

should have commented this on the last video cus I've got halfway into the video and you are doing it now

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah I added it for the iron volcano :)

[@andocromn8755]

It's overpressure because your putting in 1300 and the gas pump is only able to push 500g/s

[@GrindThisGame]

Yup!

[@Hanmacx]

5:44 in the Hot Part, Gunk to Petroleum drops a bit of Sulfur? Or are your dripping too small?

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah gunk byproduct when heated.

[@Hanmacx]

@GrindThisGame you might need to remove the Sulfur from the heating Room too

[@uther10]

That boiler is great idea!

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks! Fuel from waste :)

[@ValAllenSamonte]

the overpressure is possibly caused by the sulfur?

[@AKQTPI]

Another fun series. with some bupes. So when does the next DLC come out? lol

[@commonsense-og1gz]

it is fascinating that the new slime based oil is better at producing algae than the algae distiller. one may be able to get better efficiency with the pacu and puft synergy.

[@GrindThisGame]

I didn't even notice it made algae.

[@commonsense-og1gz]

@@GrindThisGame when the oil is heated above 75 C, it produces co2 and algae, with algae representing a majority of the products.

[@Hanmacx]

If my calculations are correct, Slime -> Phyto Oil -> Algae (46%) With (30%) Dirt, and (24%) CO2 Has a slightly better converting ratio than Algae Destiller (33%) With polluted water as byproduct (66%)

@@Hanmacx those numbers do check out.

[@Hanmacx]

@@commonsense-og1gz the only downside that's Dupe Labour intensive

[@Therealtek1]

I csn see a use for the remote dupes. If your just keeping your dupes trap on the base. And they do all task remotely. And zero access once it's built up. So said dupe is always spoiled.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah at the cost of oil, gunk and power. They still need to teleoperate as well. So you save some commuting.

[@Therealtek1]

@GrindThisGame but once it's setup it should work. And to be honest by time your power spike is setup we all have power coming out of our ears. Unless you doing some weird challenge Manuel dupe power. (Looks at Echo Ridge ☺)

[@didyoueatdinner5879]

The boiler may be at little inefficient but it sure takes a lot less management and setup.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah it was fairly quick and easy to build.

[@atlastwo7345]

Love it ❤

[@Helicard]

I don't know why but seeing pipes in an aquatuner room really makes me sick. The coolant in the pipes soaks up a lot of the heat from the steam. I put the pipes and bridges in the tiles around the room and the only pipes that touch the steam are at the temperature sensor and aquatuner input and output. Unless you are using late game materials.

[@GrindThisGame]

Great point. I'll try to avoid this in the future.

[@Azmodie1]

Woooo I am so watching this right now
