13:42 That's a 32 bit float's version of 0.4. The game could still be using any other representation for doing the math, but it's likely to be float32 too.

nice work.

what would we do without your helpful info. thank you for uploading this

Thanks for this. Would you now please do a simple step by step with the chambers? I want to take the hot Atmos of Venus and use it to cool a small base and as early game as possible. Maybe like dumping the base heat into water then cool the water down some how? Thank you

considering this was only posted 2 weeks ago i expected better use of new stuff, powered vents works really well, no need for lots of active vents, also direct heat exchangers work well

I have an Idea for cooling the GFG: submerge it in a room of liquid and as it heats it will expand into a gas where it can vent and phase change into liquid to be drained into the room again, exploiting the superior conductivity of liquids and ability to keep consistent temperature by instead using the fluid's latent heat capacity by having it expand and absorb the heat energy around it. It's like cooling a hot coffee with ice as opposed to adding cold water.

Yes! Does what it says on the tin (er, title) :) - I think you struck a nice balance between brevity and detail - 🍻 Also: Yes! "Your" setup _does_ look more elegant, yet it appears to need more active parts 😜 ... I expect Rocketwerkz will update the look of the new big condenser/evaporator apparatii at some point - as much as I love orange, it makes those parts look even worse! - Also, I think those (what _was_ 'standard' heat exchangers) have now been hot-"fixed" to be from T2 pipe-bender and require Invar now :( - 'Proper' heat exchangers are now mid-game, expensive components to make -- Further notes re cooling a base: - It seems like a 100W (1 x Active vent) "home brew" A/C uses only 20% of the power and is just as effective as an A/C unit with an Active Vent to help push the cooled air around (400W + 100W) In a 7x7x3 volume on Mars, pressurised to ~50kPa (~75% N2 / 25% O2) - Both heated up the "heatsink" gas reservoir at roughly the same rate and to the same temperature (and brought the target 'room' _down_ in temp. at same rate) given the same starting conditions. :-/ [ - The home brew was simply a gas-gas heat exchanger. Air to be cooled was force fed (using one active vent) through one side of the exchanger. "Heat sink" side is a 4000L insulated tank of CO2 at ~4MPa and ~5 Deg C (as this is in survival save and I couldn't be @r$ed chilling it down to -50 Deg C, yet!) - so just the one pipe from tank to exchanger and the closed loop at the exhanger. - Once down to same starting temperature, used the same "heat sink" tank for the waste-gas connection on the A/C ]

With phase change it seems like you can now scavenge energy from hot exhaust thru a stirling engine and have it actually be worth it? any advice on building a reverse heat pump?

I still can't get any kind of working AC setup on Venus that doesn't use the portable ac or large amount of AC units. :(

This game is brain-melting

This video is longer than 37 seconds and it's missing the techno track from Guantanamo. I guess you're a maverick now.

The bit about phase change in real life is incorrect. At a given pressure, representing a given phase change point, a liquid will not rise above the temperature needed for phase change. Greatest example of this, take the temperature of boiling water. It will not rise above 100c (212f). Any water that heats beyond that point is turned to steam, and leaves the system. This does result in sharp dropoffs, as no energy can be added to the system until the pressure, temperature, and phase change point has equalized

You lost me at "Hi ya, and welcome, welcome, welcome...". Great info though for someone who is more advanced than myself.
