[@TheTdw2000]

The industrial sauna is one of the funniest setups in ONI to me. In the real world machinery running in superheated steam would rust to hell in no time, not to mention the intense difficulty involved in operating said machines while wearing a heavy hazardous environment suit. Plus don't forget the effects it would have on the end products, and the power leakage from the batteries. ONI is like dwarf fortress in that the more the game attempts to simulate reality the stranger the exploits, glitches, and utterly unrealistic player made contraptions get.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

It's totally silly and makes no senses in real world terms, but then again moving around molten steel and magma with a pitcher pump is not very sane either.

[@gp6763]

And use liquid steel as a coolant to produce more steel xd

[@TheTdw2000]

@@FrancisJohnYT Yeah but if you're at the point where you're filling the plastic bottles made of friendship with magma and liquid steel you're probably already doing something pretty stupid, even by the game's standards.

[@titanuranus2136]

Great video as always. I'm surprised you haven't demolished the entire map yet! I have started venting CO2 anywhere outside steam rooms and living areas. Eventually the entire map becomes full of CO2, every other gas rises to the top and escapes to space. It takes a while but eventually the entire map is a single gas and you need way less insulated gas pipes, it a bit better for performance. Its also like playing the game in dark mode.

[@timf7354]

After a few (many) runs and setting up plastic production, I now prefer ranching glossy dreckos late game instead of using polymer presses. It does require a few mealwood plants for 8 glossy dreckos in the ranch. But then I put all the extra dreckos in another room to be sheered as well. So, I end up with over 100t of plastic before I even have a oil/petroleum boiler or start messing with space. I suppose the dirt isn't a sustainable resource for thousands of cycles. But I have yet to run out.

[@derekoyama501]

I generally prefer to feed them with bristle blossoms cause you generally already need to temperature control the water anyway so the farm doesn't break just from dreckos heating stuff up with their normal uh heat.

[@timf7354]

@@derekoyama501 I run a cooling loop through their ranch or use a wheezewort to keep it cooled. I think the mealwood makes them grow their scales back the fastest of all the food types they can eat too. But the higher temps would be nice.

[@simaopfontes]

Hey Francis, In the oil well you can replace the liquid lock step with a mesh tile, that would be your liquid lock that never breaks since the oil from the well would always occupy the space. Cheers

[@FrancisJohnYT]

I was thinking about that while I was waiting for the oil to build up in the liquid locks, decided if the oil would not overflow I would switch to mesh. But thankfully the oil overflowed.

[@ChristianHeimes]

For your trip to Edinburgh, I enjoyed the whisk(e)y at the "Whiski Rooms" on N Bank St when I visited the city a couple of years ago. For beer the Brewdog brewery is a good choice. Since you are into digging and underground places, I recommend Mary King's Close, The Banshee Labyrinth, and the national mining museum of Scotland (SE of the city). I got lucky and had a guided tour by a retired miner who used worked at the place from age of 16.

[@deveshilegate1104]

Hi Francis! Love the videos, you're my go-to for everything Oxygen Not Included. Had an idea for a video suggestion so thought I'd pop it here... On your next colony, every open space, unless it is another room or tank etc, has to be a nature reserve. Hope you enjoy creating an ecological paradise! :D

[@grandfremdling3841]

Great episode! 31:24 so, it is salt water. The conversion to normal water is not 1:1! The conversion is more like ~2.16 liters of saltwater = 2 liters of water. You are still safe with the 2.8, but if you want to go for 3 reservoirs, you have to use a little more 😊

[@yaemz123]

With the petroleum boiler, the output of water from the petroleum generators is more than goes into the wells, so he can eventually swap over to using the water output as his reservoir input, for an infinite self-sustaining water/oil/petroleum/polluted water loop which produces more at every step than it uses.

That duplicant dropping a bottle of liquid steel is amazing!! lol 35:31

[@nathanhelfinstine4922]

I like keeping my plastic press(es) inside the industrial sauna, I just have an autosweeper set to immediately grab the freshly-made plastic and put it on a conveyer rail to leave the sauna immediately and get dropped off somewhere cooler. The new plastic won't overheat in the few seconds it takes to get out where the air is cooler. The only thing to watch for is the press directly outputs steam, so the steam pressure in the sauna very gradually increases. That's a very long-term issue though.

[@philondez]

If you want to go above 20 kg of steam pressure in your sauna a trick that I came up with for a slush boiler that I designed a while back was to use meter valves instead of an atmo sensor. Trying to use an atmo sensor was just really erratic due to the pressure fluctuactions and not terribly pleasing from a design standpoint to me, not to mention I wanted more than 20kg of pressure to act as a larger thermal battery. The additional pressure would help with your CO2 issue I think. Basically you just calculate how much excess water you're going to be producing (3kg/s of p water for four generators, 3kg*0.99 to account for dirt, =2970g/s on the valve. You can pull this off of the turbine exhaust with the meter valve and return the excess back to the sauna like normal. You can even automate the turbines to run alongside the generators if you want so that they're only pulling out water while the generators are running, just tie them into the same automation wires as the generators. For my slush boiler power was secondary to boiling efficiency so I also blocked off a few of the turbine ports, you could get away with blocking a port on each turbine and still pull out the full amount of water and save having to reboil some of the excess exhaust To me this is the best solution because you have a constant flow of water rather than random packets, a constant trickle of power to keep your batteries topped off, and you can run the steam room at whatever pressure you want rather than being limited to the atmo sensor's 20kg Also, on the geothermal plant overheating, I think the bigger issue was the steam pulling heat from the abyssalite which was pulling heat from the lava rather than your transformers/batteries. A single layer of abysallite transfers heat just fine. It's slow, but it's far from nothing. It has to be double layered for it to have an insulating effect

"that water goes to the oil well, as well" Francis 2023.

[@S7E_Siriel-Privat]

Maybe using carbon skimmers at the bottom of the steam room would be more efficient and easier. You could use the excess output from the steam turbines and dump the polluted water output down there to basically recirculate the water once more, you'd also get some dirt out of it, instead of just venting the CO².

[@MonsieurBro]

Another good way to consume petroleum is with the new Blastshot Maker (and by extension, the Meteor Blaster building). Note that blowing up meteors instead of letting them hit your bunker doors means that you lose 100% of whatever the meteor was made of, but might be a good way to keep your rocket area clear of debris (AND blow stuff up, Win/win). One Meteor Blaster keeps an area of 33x33 tiles above itself clear (provided it has clear sky/space light above), and the blastshot itself costs 5kg refined metal + 10kg petroleum

[@artur6912]

18:17 Tbh that's Brothgar levels of overengineering. Personally I hooked a pipe feeding my boiler to a tank and a liquid shut off, when it's full, the crude stops flowing, clearing the radiant pipe in the boiler (to avoid the possibility of the crude turning in to petroleum while sitting in the counter flow pipe if I would shut off the liquid vent instead.). I have more water than I could reasonably use from other sources anyway, so I like having the boiler on an on/off switch. Probably one of the reasons I personally never attempted an industrial sauna.

Alternatively I recommend designing elaborate over-engineered self-repairing liquid lock systems. Never mind that they're large, expensive, slow to walk through, and not actually that reliable because they aren't tested very often…

[@KKCrafter]

Love your videos! My favorite pub in Edinburgh is Brass Monkey on Drummond Street, It's got a great vibe

[@packediceisthebestminecraf9007]

24:31 you could probably just use a filter gate instead, it might be more reliable because it wouldn't activate if two blobs of carbon dioxide touch the sensors at the same time. Of course that would be very unlikely, but If you have a filter gate set to 10 seconds or something, it's basically impossible for it to activate when there's no CO2 below it.

[@MathewSan_]

[@JulieanGalak]

Should the plastic presses also be controlled by automation, so they don't use up your petroleum reserves?

[@Varakanok]

Have you ever tried Compressed Fluid Storage? It's been a while but it involves using several automated doors to push your gas/liquid down in a small area with pumps in it for extraction. If you use airflow tiles for fluids (and strong tiles for gas) you can fit thousands and thousands of tons into a 4x6 or 4x8 space.

[@stevenwojtysiak6392]

Another sustainable cycle that could be added to yours is, instead of throwing all the CO2 away, combine some of it with the excess water from the steam engines to make more polluted water that can be fed directly into pincha pepper plants in a Drecko ranch (who will drop the phosphorus needed for the plants). The rest of the CO2 and water can then be used with the pincha peppers to make espresso (or whatever)... You get the idea...

[@Yazra_o7]

Yes! Another ep! 🎉

[@Thaccus]

You mentioned crude oil as a liquid lock. I'm still exploring all the options here at different phases of the game and I see that petroleum has a wider temperature range. Is the reason not to use petroleum here just that it is more work for the same effect? Does petroleum versus oil have other notable considerations?

[@bughouse26]

They are basically equivalent for liquid lock purposes unless you've got 1 side of the lock that exceeds the boiling point of crude oil. Petroleum would be better in that instance. Crude is just easier to source earlier in the game.

[@Sytesh]

Still pretty new at this but lately I've been coring out the oil biome and I was wondering why you build the oil well with a bit of structure around it. Is it just to get a vacuum? Can gas pressure stop it from working?

[@geeksdo1tbetter]

Maybe to keep the natural gas from floating around?

[@samuelpomeroy9672]

You can do some crazy things inside melted rockets. Like: a ranch, water tank, infinite food storage,cooling loop, oxygen generation, solar power, a barracks, latrine, great hall, park, and can sustain 4 dupes for 160 cycles without adding in more water.

[@nobodyofnaught2]

Why burning off excess petroleum instead of just turning off the crude oil input into the boiler?

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Turning off a petroleum boiler is usually a bad idea. The boiler is finicky to turn on and off. It can result in pipe damage but if you just leave it running it will run perfectly. Burning off the petroleum is water positive, the polluted water you get out of the petroleum generators more than pays for the water you put into the oil wells. Since the magma will last for thousands of cycles their is no reason to turn off the boiler.

[@nobodyofnaught2]

@@FrancisJohnYT is this a quirk of old versions? I have a boiler I've been turning on and off with automation that's been working without problem for almost a thousand cycles now

They do not pop the wires themselves, but they will allow enough draw to pop the wires behind them. Their main use is: You have 2k worth of consumers on one side of them, and a 10, 20, 50k spine coming from your source. You can go heavy to normal wires from the main line, and so long as there isn't more than 2k of consumption then you're fine. 4k is only what it limits it to.
