Stationeers Making superalloys

Today we do some smelting. The new years update has made some serious changes to the teperatures and pressures required for making alloys and superalloys, so today I will cover some tricks to help with creating them. To do this I will use the advanced furnace and automation system created in previous videos.

congratulations, you have created a dream system 👍👍

[@jonnyb6570]

Oh thank goodness I found this! Just by chance its was in my 'suggested videos.' I was trying to use the previous incarnation of your design to smelt superalloys (9-2021 version) to no avail. Could not get it high enough, and now I know why. Thank you so much! I hope everything you changed is in this video.

Been playing hours of this game lately and your content is hands down the best for simple easy and quick ways to understand what to do in the game. Thanks for doing the videos I have gotten more out of these 15 min guides than a 3 hour live stream from others.

Health & Safety meeting tomorrow. I've been running the new software with the old "advanced furnace" design for about a month. I almost blew up the base making Invar. Everything was creaking and groaning. The iron window behind the main storage tank was the only thing that blew out. Good design!

[@scottwhitlock8559]

Love your videos! I just got finished my new furnace setup to make these higher pressure super alloys. I decided on a completely different design... I use a dedicated furnace to produce 2200C gases and store them in an insulated tank, and (on Mars) I pump cold atmosphere into another tank at night, which makes it about -72C. The hot tank is hot enough to create stellite. I mix 91.3% hot (the rest cold) to create a tank of 1250K (977C) gas that's good enough to create all the other ingots except hastelloy and waspaloy. For hastelloy I have a separate tank mixed to 975K, and for waspaloy I have a tank of 700K gas. To run my smelting furnace (make sure it's in a 100% insulated box), you don't need to feed it any fuel. I just select the appropriate gas temperature, pump in enough gas to melt all the ingredients, then pump it back out (to waste tank for processing). Now you have a furnace with melted ingredients and no gas. Just pump in the correct temperature gas up to your preset pressure and Bob's your uncle. Works great. Also, this second shot of gasses stays at the same temperature and isn't contaminated, so I pump it back into the pre-mixed hot storage tank rather than sending it to waste. Saves fuel that way.

I would like to see a video for this. I have tried a similar setup with hot and cold tanks but the connection and mixing system was a nightmare. I need an IC with 20 pins.

[@Krzeszny95]

Pretty cool furnace, though getting it up to pressure by burning fuel is pretty annoying.

[@divisiondevin7885]

I love your content, very helpful!

[@leakyabstraction]

You make it look so easy. Meanwhile I'm still burning down my base with the arc furnace. 😂 (That was a funny incident... I forgot that I stored a lot of volatiles and oxite in a locker, and then I heated the base over 0 degrees.)

[@madmatter39]

Heh.. I was struggling trying to use the furnace for invar.. Helps to look in the current game wiki. I was just watching your video and failing haha.. This is quite a humbling game at times.. Love the videos! Keep them coming!

[@theral056]

Well well well, I wonder what your next project will be. You got a big ol' pile of metals yearning to be shaped into something interesting after all!

[@cowsareevil7514]

Or could it be "Where did all that ore come from?"

[@theral056]

@@cowsareevil7514 where did all th... OOOOOH! Yes, yes, that sounds very good indeed!

[@mikebell7813]

An idea for you to integrate, im part way done in writing my furnace code. Will share when im done ofc. Anyway i switch from fuel to stored high temp exhaust gases on the intake. Makes getting whatever high pressure you want a breeze. Im contemplating storing low and high temp exhaust gas to switch between them to decrease the cooldown times when needed. Its how i ran the regular furnace though i just backfilled the exhaust on that one. Obviously you cant do that with the advanced but easy enough using the fuel intake built in volume pump. TL;DR use stored high temp exhaust gas in the fuel intake to safely(tm) increase pressure.

[@macgyver4269]

Nice furnace.

[@thakangbaby]

Hey Mike! Thanks for this video i have watched it many times now :P But is there really no better way to make Waspaloy? do we really need to use that many ores to get pressure up and temperature down?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Not with this design. I usually keep the furnace at about 30MPa all the time, so I am ready for most alloys when needed.

[@thorstenweber3388]

If you dont want to smelt tons of materials you can use ice to bring the pressure up and the themps down.

[@cowsareevil7514]

That is another good reason to build your furnace outside.

[@thorstenweber3388]

@@cowsareevil7514 or you massivly use the reloadfunktion....😜

[@ausvampire]

thanks for all the info and nicely explained. Any chance on getting a video on hydroponics ?

[@cowsareevil7514]

It looks to have been fixed in the latest update. So I will do one soon.

[@JulieanGalak]

I built the furnace pretty much as you showed, running your IC code, and it works well for everything except Waspalloy. I can't seem to make it without blowing up the furnace. Specifically: I can get the pressure over 50MPa when it's hot, but then I have to let it cool, and the pressure drops. At that point, any attempt to add more fuel causes it to explode.... It seems I need to get it to a very high pressure while hot (75+ MPa?) and then let it cool down, but I've been unable to find the right settings. Any advice?

[@kamsa1243]

manually throw Ice/Oxite in there.

[@Noahdaceo]

Could you make a video on creating water from a furnace/filtration system? Cuz I'm trying to make water from Oxite and Volatiles? I'm trynna do it like that but no matter my config, I either get no gases into my storage unit, only O2 into it, or H20 with a mix of N2. Thank you!

[@kitronics4379]

All ices it seems have a mix of there main gas and N2. Oxides are 90% O2 and 10% N2. This is the plan I have for my current base I'm working on I'm going to have two basic furnaces. One for oxid and one for volatiles. These furnaces will then exhaust into an atmospheric filter with the appropriate canisters to filter out the main product and the N2 into separate tanks. Once you have tanks of h2 and o2 I was planning on gas mixing them into a H2 combustor. It might seem like a lot of steps but it was my plan to store a large amount of H2O and only electrolyze it back into fuel when needed that way the danger of explosion is minimized to only the areas where it's either getting H2 combusted or electrolyzed for fuel

[@SoKette]

Can't you just input (hot) waste gas to pressure up the furnace ?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Yes. You could even pump in cold gas and then fire the furnace to heat it up but you would need a way to connect both the fuel and the gas supply to the input. It is easy to do with the basic furnace but not so easy with the advanced furnace. And you can never have too much copper.

[@scottwhitlock8559]

This is what I do (see my reply above). I decided to pre-mix gases to the right temperature for my recipe (you can do all alloys with only 4 different temperatures) using a separate automated furnace. Then in my (fully insulated) smelting furnace I pump in enough to melt everything (which cools it down) then I pump it out, and then pump in again up to the desired pressure. This allows me to control temperature separately from pressure, so it's simpler.

[@cowsareevil7514]

This is worth sharing.

[@fellpower]

I tried your code, build it like u. but my hash display shows nothing. and i never reached 20MPa. what im doing wrong?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Try turning off the IC and trying, that way you will now if the issue is the build or the automation. Otherwise, have a look at the demo world. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2351501280&tscn=1610666918

[@fellpower]

@@cowsareevil7514 Yeah, i watched your video again and again and understood, WHY u put the IC10 offline. To get some Fuel in, ignite - and PRESSURE !!! ;)

[@fellpower]

But...your furnace (in my world) is not throwing out the ingots / alloys after they finished. so whats wrong?

[@MrSaywutnow]

Now I know why I couldn't smelt Stellite. The recipe in the e-reader is wrong!
