Stationeers: How To Cool Your Base

[@pretikewl76]

New player here. Been trying to find a simple, no bs, vid that explains how to set it up, and how it works. You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you.

[@RailingMedia]

Your videos are a godsend. Every other tutorial is an hour of talking and a lot of the basic knowledge is assumed. You walk us through it from the bottom up, and I really appreciate it!

[@sirxenon7744]

I've watched a few of your how to video's.. I like your style. no showing off, no waffle and showing things on the basic level on how to do it. Well Done Sir

Used this method plus 4 small passive radiators. Worked well untill one of the tubes bursted open and vented all the gas from the greenhouse, killing all my plants. Seems that some of the gases became liquid after cooling which caused the pipe tu burst. I'll try adding something to remove the liquids from the system.

[@reneherzberger445]

When I tried to do something like that i had the problem that the gass always cooled down until getting to liquid and destroying the pipes. I used low pressure and mostly CO2 gaß

[@murk9111]

The gas changes since I made this video are the reason. It's on my list to remake for that reason. Pollutant makes the most versatile coolant as long as the operating temperature is over - 98c

[@timmuller6542]

The problem is that the vacuum radiator keeps working even when the cooler is off, and will eventually cool the CO2 until it freezes solid in the pipes. I found that having the same pipe setup but with a CONVECTIVE radiator on the interior (instead of an active cooler) works great. But for small interior spaces in early game you may have to remove the outside radiator every few days (or else it could actually get too cold for plants and player). At least until you can create a programmed climate control system later in the game.

Make sure you use Radiation Radiators if you are in a vacuum like the moon. Convection radiators wont work.

[@murk9111]

Yes good shout! They changed radiators since I made this video!

[@SkashTheKitsune]

new name for "Gas Canister storage" is: "Kit (Pipe Utility Gas)" use mouse wheel to change type.

[@lordfluffy9438]

Would putting the pipes under the base rather than on the roof help them cool faster? I'm thinking that the sun may be heating them at least slightly.

[@zzyzxyz5419]

Very nice commentary! Liked

[@wisnoskij]

Why is the waist tank filled with o2? Also dont yoy just start with co2 filters? So how did anything else get in their?

[@HLLTAF]

Do these pipes need to be insulated now? An excellent tutorial.

[@murk9111]

The pipes on the wall cooler should NOT be insulated (unless you're in a hot environment, in which case cooling becomes a whole big problem). The wall cooler works by dumping heat from the room into the gas in the pipes and relies on them radiating the heat away to the outside. In fact once you can make steel you should add radiators to those pipes to speed up the heat dumping

cool

[@murk9111]

Haha :)
