I might sound pernickety, but I reckon some people (like me :) ) might skip on something altogether if they don't understand it's use, which might end up detrimental if it is something actually essential. I understand that you don't want to be too talkative here on that, but you might want to explain how this functions somewhere. You can think of these double bridges as hooking up a mini water tank in the middle of the loop.Īgain, this is descriptive, not explicative. Several turbines make sense, then, even though it ends up being quite a bulky system. Yes, the wiki doesn't tell what it talks about. I made one of those here :) or did you have something else in mind? "This prevents the loop from getting stuck in some situations." You can think of these double bridges as hooking up a mini water tank in the middle of the loop. I did my best here, I didn't want to go into too much detail since it wasn't the main topic. These are always tricky and I'm not sure if they are helpful or confusion, but this feedback will help me to improve for next time :) My main goal with this diagram is to "ease in" to the topic with a brief diagram of the important pieces. I think 3 handles most geysers, I didn't see too many over 6kg/s of steam. The number of turbines you need corresponds to the kg/s the geyser outputs when it's active (not average overall) so that it won't get over-pressurized. I spawned a bunch of vents and came out to this average for most of them as well, but this is including the dormant period. I don't know what you think.Īccording to the wiki, the average steam production of a cool steam vent is 1,5 kg/s I would recommend making a guide on that, if you have the time and will of course, given how cooling is a crucial part of achieving sustainability and reaching the late game, but it would be a bit redundant with the present guide and the one on piping and loops. On a personal regard, I will stick with the liquid pump + heat exchanger setup, since it cools better, can be used for cooling other stuff besides the vent and takes less space. If it is, add a note mentioning it, maybe.)Īnother little note, steel is much easier to get than plastic in my opinion, at least on Terra, where eggs, fossils, coal and iron are plentiful. (And I don't recall seeing it in your piping guide. You describe but don't really explain it, so I don't get why it is necessary on top of the other bridge. You could perhaps emphasize the cooling loop better, maybe by framing the bottom row and calling it "cooling loop", I don't know.Īlso, I don't quite get the necessity of the double bridge contraption. It is hard to make sense of these two water drops next to each other with one outputting hot water and the other cold water seemingly before the aquatuner. Since I have your attention (hehe), I find the first diagram quite confusing, especially before reading the guide. According to the wiki, the average steam production of a cool steam vent is 1,5 kg/s, so one would probably want to reduce the number of turbines, rather than increasing it, if it doesn't mess up with heat deletion and turbines overheating. Nice of you to be that reactive (also, personal hat off for all the work you pull off and the clarity and concision of your guides), but I kinda thought about the contrary to your addendum.
