One final journey...

#OxygenNotIncluded

The temporal tear is open! And either I got lucky, or I accidentally prepared well for the incoming apocalypse. This is nothing.

#OxygenNotIncluded

Also, this:

Approaching the endgame, which for me means visiting the remaining planets to do a smash and grab of artifacts. And sure, let's demolish the planet while we're at it. Free filtration medium!

#OxygenNotIncluded

If I'm understanding things correctly, the geyser should vent salt water that gets heated 100 degrees, then turn immediately into salt and steam. The goal is a source of clean water and salt.

Let's see how this breaks.

#OxygenNotIncluded

Taking a break from volcanoes to focus on...geysers. Anyway, going to try geotuners for the first time, pointing these five at this salt water geyser.

#OxygenNotIncluded

So uh, I probably should not have pre-primed the tamer with a bunch of ice tempshift plates. Not enough heat from the volcanos to maintain steam, which floods one of them. Trying various strategies to deal with this mess...

#OxygenNotIncluded

Back with plenty of ceramic and iron ore! Just need a little duplicant elbow grease...

#OxygenNotIncluded

This is already the second trip to the planet I've made, and I'll have to do yet another supply run. I really underestimated this planet.

#OxygenNotIncluded

Tamer the second: three at once! Except I ran out of good materials (unless I really want to use granite [I do not]). And I also need more metal ores for conveyor rails. Local wolframite wasn't enough.

#OxygenNotIncluded

Iron volcano tamer the first. Those tempshift plates are ice and will provide enough steam for the room, making me ready to start collecting iron when the volcano goes active again in...65 cycles.

Omnibus tundra planet development post:

Radbolts for the temporal tear. Power wire is temporarily disconnected for other uses.

#OxygenNotIncluded

One thing I wonder: should I be using lead tiles for shielding? 68% blocking vs. 60% blocking for igneous rock doesn't feel worth importing a bunch of lead, but maybe my math is off?

#OxygenNotIncluded

It's running! The turbines aren't running super efficiently, but I'm fine with that. I care more about the nuclear waste output than the power. Need them radbolts.

#OxygenNotIncluded

The beginnings of my nuclear reactor design. I've seen some designs, but I'm largely winging it on this one, just working with the notion that I need about 10 steam turbines to handle the heat. We'll see how this goes...

#OxygenNotIncluded

I want to group podcasts in with videos here as well. I've seen enough people try to get me to listen to an hour-long that could have easily been an article.

Finally landed dupes on the tundra planet, and good lord I underestimated the radiation. The triple-layered tile setup seems to work well for all sources. But man, had to deal with a lot of vomiting to get there.

Three iron volcanoes though. It'll be worth it.

#OxygenNotIncluded.

Just be ready for your dupes eardrums to be popped to all hell and back. But it's nothing a little Sunny Disposition can't fix.

#OxygenNotIncluded

You ever have a rocket interior that gets a little too toasty and you want an easy way to cool it down? Consider using solid oxygen! I have chunks of this from my liquid hydrogen setup, and all I have to do is drop chunk inside the rocket and wait a bit.

#OxygenNotIncluded

Ocean drained. There is about 7.5 million kg of water contained within that storage.

#OxygenNotIncluded

This is the sort of thing that makes me feel like I've been suffering from an extremely severe case of impostor syndrome my entire life up until now

How well does it work? Well, after about 10 cycles, the storage holds about 3.28 million kg of water. So...pretty decent.

You can observe the original water line by the leftover drops below the rocket.

#OxygenNotIncluded

So my plan was to pump the ocean planet water into an infinite storage, but I was told that this would be a good opportunity to try out an Escher waterfall storage. Here's what it looks like at the bottom of the planet.

#OxygenNotIncluded

If I need more steam, I suppose I could bring more water back from my home planet. But what about this other fresh new planet?

#OxygenNotIncluded

One last tweak I want to make: more steam. There's about 8 tons of steam in that room, and if I had more, maybe the room wouldn't heat up as fast. I'm going to look at hauling a large liquid tank full of water over to see how that can work.

#OxygenNotIncluded

The steam still heats up pretty consistently as I add more molten niobium, so I decided some automation was necessary. Current setting is to turn off the drip if the steam is 200 degrees, but I'll fiddle around with it.

Then I fixed the conveyor rails to never stall out. If the exit sensor is red and the rest of the line is full, the conveyor loader can't add more to the line and jam it up.

(Ignore the double output line, I'm in the process of cleaning that up)

At the suggestion of a chatter, I went for a bit of cooling overkill. Five steam turbines to handle more heat, and a second aquatuner. That second might not be necessary, but doing some rough DTU math, I felt it better to err on the side of cool.

First a side bit of foresight: I appropriately realized that any obsidian I'd want to bring inside would boil the naphtha liquid lock. Conveyor loaders bypassing the liquid saved me from pain.

Revised niobium volcano tamer design. Not quite perfect, but works a lot better. Details:
