Stationeers Fuelling the furnace

It seems like I have come full circle today as I revisit my first video on using the basic furnace. This time I have learned a lot more and I will be looking at different ways of fuelling the furnace with some tips for using ice and for connecting gas mixers.

Very beautifully explained in this video and also in your other tutorial videos. It's so easy to understand and it's explained so logically and in simple terms and nice examples. You have such a good pedagogicall skill I'm willing to bet you are a profoessor in real life, and a good one.

[@cowsareevil7514]

Thanks. But no, not a professor. Just an engineer who like to build new things. Some work, some blow up, interesting either way.

[@andrewcurtin7003]

Subbed, god speed. Your answering so many questions i have. Cant wait to get home and set up my furnace using that "outlet pipe" method

Another CAE video = Another good day.

[@TheBrookemarley]

Thanks for the info

[@BLKFYRE]

Awesome video as usual Mick. Would love one covering the Heat Exchanger. Thanks for all the science mate

[@absolutenift2234]

This was a cool video. I'm disappointed about the H2O combustor solution though. Maybe a more fair test would have been to preheat it to 800k as it would see continuous use like that anyway? The extra thermal mass of the water would definitely have thrown it off

[@cowsareevil7514]

There was a thermal effect in front of the combustor. I am not sure if that was a visual glitch only or if the combustor is not insulated and lost a lot of the heat into the atmosphere.

[@absolutenift2234]

@@cowsareevil7514 I'm now interested to experiment with it and see if the h2o combuster vs regular combustion releases more heat

[@DreamyBoy67]

Great science ! More.

I don't know if anyone checks comments but I used my furnace for the second time ever and opened the exhaust as soon as I was finished with it, (I used 2/4 ice manually, only smelted maybe a stack of iron and half a stack of copper,) and it started to spit fire. Nothing was damaged or anything but it was definitely a pretty (but still scary) sight. That's because I opened the exhaust while it still had fuel in it, right?

[@XD9rottie]

Roughly 17:30 ish.. Being able to pump fuel into the output side of the furnace - is that a bug or intended?

[@Soldan2905]

Hey man - Great video! I've tried your gas mixer method, using the output pipe. I encapsulated the furnace in a block, but can't seem to get much temperature control over it. Even if I don't encapsulate it.. I seem to have plenty control over the pressure, but none over the temperature. I am having problems making stuff like Solder, since it requires max 277ºC.. and the second I fire up the gas mixer, I get 1000k+ on temp and by the time it lowers, the pressure has dropped too much. Any tips? Thanks again.

[@LeberAdanek]

Hey Mick, whats the plan for a new series? Any idea yet? With all these recent changes to thermals and the ol'pipe trick no longer working I'm interested in how things will go.

[@keyogen]

I thought that the furnace pumps out hot water after combustion. I have not put water ice in my water system for a long time now. My water system is hooked up to my furnace. Then to a cooling array and to my storage tank.

[@Machil77]

Hello Mick, that thingy in your left hand, whats that and how do I get it?

[@Dreamshadow1977]

Likely the creative mode wand.

[@ShannaNL]

It's the Authoring Tool, you can only get it in Creative mode. Creative mode is selecting either the Space world or by Custom World and selecting Creative mode. When in Creative, press; / , type searchbar; Tool , select it then press F9 to spawn in. Use: Same as above but instead of F9 you use the Authoring Tool in your active hand, with the mousebuttons to build/finish if multiple buildstages. Point the tool at an object, press; C + Mousebutton will delete the object from the world. Enjoy.

Oh god your mic.

[@gloverelaxis]

haha, yeah, this video has the highest overall quality to mic quality ratio i've ever seen

[@gloverelaxis]

thank you SOOO much for your effort in making this video. the game's mechanics are so unbelievably unintuitive, arcane, and even nonsensical (gas mixtures don't exchange along one contiguous pipe but pressure and temperature do?!), and they're not explained in the tutorials or even the ingame encyclopaedia, so you literally have to empirically test for them yourself as you've done here.
