Stationeers ATMOSPHERICS for total beginners - TURBO STYLE! - Part 2: The gasses / Getting CO2

Taking a whiff of the different gasses, phase change, pipe stress, cleaning polluted water. And getting CO2 for greenhousing by firing up the big bad furnace!

Hahaha that final explosion got me.

Very nice, clear video. Excellent work

[@nathanshooshoo9505]

Excellent videos you've been pumping out, greatly appreciated!

:D :D :D

[@LavenThaRaven]

I was wondering what you were doing at the end xD

[@wowailyich615]

16:50 one very handy trick for the passive liquid inlet: Since the inlet will allow outside atmosphere to enter the pipe network, one can make 100% sure that only water gets into the pipes by building: Liquid inlet --> condensation valve --> gas pipe or small inline pipe tank --> evaporation valve --> water pipe.

[@OwnerOfTheCosmos]

Thanks. I think that setup has the same problem as this one: Just adding a one-way liquid valve, so the first part of the liquid network would have whatever the room has (Which the Portable Scrubber could actually take care of, since the pipe is open to the room!), and the second part would only have liquids. LIQUIDS! Like e.g. Nitrous Oxide or Polluted Water, both of which has happened to me. Maybe your setup solves this, but I can't see how it could.

[@wowailyich615]

@@OwnerOfTheCosmos when the liquids get condensed into the small gas network behind the condensation valve, they do not stay liquid. Since water has such a low condensation pressure, your nitrous or other liquid in the room atmosphere will evaporate while the water gets expelled through the expansion valve. You could add a backpressure regulator set to 12kPa and a passive vent to the small gas network to make sure that any gasses that make it into the liquid drain actually get sucked back out.

@@wowailyich615 Mister Dude Sir! I just tried your setup, and it works marvelously, and I'll feature it (and your comment) in the next video, if you don't mind.

[@wowailyich615]

@@OwnerOfTheCosmos Sure thing! Glad I can add some little insight from my learning steps. I really like thinking about making phase change stuff and low tech solutions work for me, instead of complicated coding and atmospherics. I think this is a great challenge. One humble request for the next atmospherics episode: I have only recently dabbled with programming p-controllers to manage pressures using volume pumps. I see very little information for beginners on how to easily set this up (it is really "read pressure - subtract target pressure - multiply by p-coefficient - set pump to delta pressure x coefficient"). Since handling gasses is such an important part of the game, I think every beginner needs to learn pump management.

[@OwnerOfTheCosmos]

@@wowailyich615 To my shame (Add it to the list.), I've never used this approach: If I find out that "Set to X." works, or "Turn on/off with MIPS depending on measurement.", I do that and move on to the next task, even if it's inelegant. Maybe RocketWerkz could help by letting devices (particularly pumps) take a moment to ramp up to their full set speed, or to stop running. Instead of being digital. ---- I took note.

[@cpeministerial]

Yes sir, that’s what I wanted. Thanks man. You are life saver

[@OwnerOfTheCosmos]

Happy to hear that! I was really unsure all throughout if the information was actually useful or if I should put something else in this episode.

[@cpeministerial]

@@OwnerOfTheCosmos could you please do a full tutorial to create a farm or greenhouse adding the appropriate gases to the seeds that you start with ? As well as to how to control water and gases that pump into your greenhouse or farm. I’m in need of food, real food in Stationeers and still don’t know how to get more food. I will die soon if I don’t resolve this issue. Thanks man

[@OwnerOfTheCosmos]

@@cpeministerial I'd like to, but I have other things planned first, and this video here (Atmospherics part 2) explained some of that, so I don't know what to tell you to get out of the rut. Moon or Mars? What seeds do you have left? What's your station atmosphere and temperature, and can you protect it from going too low or too high? For water, you just need the canister show in the video, will last you for TONS of days (really). The main problem people usually run into is LIGHT (i.e. not enough darkness per 20 minute period (aka "day")). Have you printed the "Plant Analyzer Cartridge" yet? It basically tells you everything.

[@cpeministerial]

@@OwnerOfTheCosmos I have everything done. I have 100 Kpa pressure, last night I set up automated cooling system, ranges between 20 Celsius and 26 no more or less than that. I have 2 grow lights for my hydroponics tray that comes with my lander crates. Still when I plant the seeds it says poorly growing and moderately. I also need to automate grow light (which I don’t know how to do, I will need to look up tutorials about this). I have CO2 already but small amounts. I want more abut still don’t know how to add more and control the gases so they don’t overpressure my base. How do I get more seeds ?. I am currently in the moon only for now. I need helppp

[@cpeministerial]

@@OwnerOfTheCosmos I don’t need the canister since I already set up a water bottle filler and a I’m using the portable water tank that comes with the crate and I have ice crusher to melt oxide and get water and oxygen. I’m using the water tank and ice crusher to provide water to my hydroponics tray, which they need liquid pipe and water to function

[@wisnoskij]

5:30 Will an active vent not pump all the gas very quickly(it does a 1x1x1 cube in like a second)? Does the filter keep up with the speed of the active vent?

[@OwnerOfTheCosmos]

It's quick, but at the end we can see that the streaming of the other blocks into the Vent block takes time. Also, the PressureInternal is limited to ~50 MPa, so it wouldn't suck all the air because the pipe is full. The Filtration unit as well as the Filter can not be overrun with too high pressure, they just work.
