I’m surprised Shadow hasn’t had a aneurysm from all the mess around your base.

When working with IC10, I like to break down the logic to boolean flags. For instance, For your Oxygen pump into the breathable air line, you say breathableAirOxygenRatio < 0.33 AND breathableAirPressure < 100kPa. That flag becomes the ON for the pump. You set the "safe" conditions for each pump/device and it will work itself out. Atmospherics: inputPressure > 0 AND inputFilteredGasRatio > 0 AND wastePressure < 50kPa AND outputPressure < 50kPa. Then you don't need to think in "stages" for the equipment and your logic becomes much less complex as far as branching is concerned. Your cooling loop: outputPump ON == coolingChamberPressure > 0 AND coolingChamberTemp < 293K, hotInputPump ON == coolingChamberPressure < 5MPa AND coolingChamberTemp > 300K OR coolingChamberPressure == 0kPa (this is to kick off the cycle by when the cooling chamber is evacuated.)

I had to stop the video and go look up info on the concentrated CO2 pockets. They are called a mazuku and they are caused by volcanic flows under the ground. Fascinating.

The way that Stationeers Suit Lady says "Hunger critical" always gets me. She sounds pitiful, and I want to give her a hug.

43:09 Sounds like you want a "priority filtering" tank with stuff coming back from your breathable areas (minimally polluted and/or off balance), and a separate "filter whenever" tank which only gets introduced into the filtering when there's excess capacity. The "filter whenever" tank can then take the bursts of the nasty or hot stuff from industrial processes around the place, and the current backlog of unfiltered gases. (Which also means that you only have to run it's intake pipe to your industrial setup).

Never underestimate the importance of space for pipes, i work in a place with dozens of tanks, pumps, filters, mixing tanks, water manifolds and the pipework to interconnect them all, it takes up an absurd amount of space.

I found that using 4 active vents an a gas sensor is the easiest solution to base pressurization. You have 3 vents for the gasses. Set all of the PressureExternal the same, then set them to turn off based on the corresponding gas ratio. The last vent is the return, which is on at all times. You can change the amount of flow the base has by changing the PressureExternal on that vent. Say the incoming vents are 78. Setting the return to 77.8 is low flow, whereas 75 would give much more. This is a sort of an all in one solution, and the coding is extermely easy. Either way, interesting to see what you come up with the pumps. I will say that the back pressure regulator probably doesn't have enough flow to do much. It works, but it takes a while. Love the series!

Small tip for the IC housing. If you don't set any pins and run the chip, then any the alias set for a pin will show on the pin's tool tip.

There were some of those gas pockets in Greece and we have records of people sending animals in for the spectacle. Especially when people could walk through unaffected being much further from the ground

Purple for the colour your face will go if u run out :)

Yeah agree. I have sections with closeable door in between but prefer to have them open. There are nice bulkhead doors for safety doors I am using for my under floor sections but they might be good for emergency doors

if you want to keep your base atmos air cool and still filter for containments, you could create a mini tank and filter N, O2, and C before dumping the waste to the main waste tank

Given all the trouble you have cooling gasses down to breathable levels, wouldn't it make more sense to mimic at least part of your hot gas filtration for all the cooler base gas returned from your living spaces (ie filter out pollutants) rather than adding it to the hot "dirty" gas line first to then cool it down again later on? That way, you would just need to add gasses from your cold tanks to get it to the right percentages and store it in a "good breathable base gas" tank. Another advantage is you'll always have at least this tank to pull from in the future, in case your greenhouse or the eating room ever get heavily contaminated and you need to purge them.

Splitsie, here's a definition you might like: Hardware: That which you can chop with an axe 🪓 Software: That which you can only curse at 🤬 Cant remember for sure, but I think its by Mexican cartoonist/comedian Rius.

I am glad u clarified why u knew so much about death by gas :)

I'm not sure if this will be helpful or if you already got a plan for the cooling bottleneck. If so feel free to ignore :) Looking back, the hot side is definitely restricting you pretty bad. If I can guesstimate in breaking it down... I think it is doing something like: 1st AC: 460 -405 C, Probably moving around 2kJ to 5kJ 2nd AC: 405C - 350C, Probably moving around 3kJ to 6 kJ 3rd AC: 350C - 300C, Probably moving around 4kJ to 7 kJ. Those first three are definitely hindering you and may need to have some parallel acs. Because looking at your 2 water phase change loops, the first is limited to 360C to maybe 250C but can probably go lower but the second AC should be around 250C and go down to maybe 140C but can be lower. They can move quite a lot of heat and you caught the evap chamber for the first one at 20kJ latent heat which means even if only half of that is being pushed out to the ACs, you already have 10kJ trying to very slowly go out with a bottleneck of 3kJ, the heat gets trapped in your water phase change loop. This will cause it to heat up and then eventually your second water loop will heat up as well and if the cold side of the second gets above 152C, then your pollutants cannot move any more heat. This would explain why the 3rd water loop is seemingly doing better, because that one isnt limited to 152C like pollutants are so it can keep moving thermal energy. Though the bottleneck at the top is something you will need to address. I'd recommend parallel ACs so that your first AC has maybe 2 or 3 ACs working in parallel so that you can be moving at minimum 6kJ of thermal energy, then the next two ACs you just double. Maybe then you can reliably move the heat out of your system. The AC at the coldest end cooling your hot tank is probably moving close to 14kJ of thermal energy into your phase change loops so maybe you might need to revisit the top end to make sure it is capable of moving much more thermal energy compared to the bottom to get some decent cooling. If you want to go strictly with phase change though, you'd probably need to build a massive powered vent farm to suck in Venusian Storm air (355C) to power your water phase change loop... it would be significantly cheap power wise, but at the same time... You'd need a lot of powered vents and air tank storage to truly fuel such a large system since you are now actively cooling hot air. Edit: Also, I appreciate that you are doing this without following the "Elmo's hyperefficient AC" that was discussed by the chat. It feels like any attempts to innovate cooling have become stale because that setup Elmo made/discovered is too good that alternatives just can't measure up; so most of the times it becomes a "why bother making something when something infinitely better already exists" type thing.

Hey splitsie, as programmer, i have a little tip/suggestion for your gas mixing script, my tip is just general approach to problem solving in programming with example -> split your problem into smaller parts to make it easier to code and more usable for more then just breathable air. Example on your use case: Have 1 script to do only 1 gas to settable kPa. Yes you would have to use 3 chips for just your air, but then you can take that script and use as some kind of advanced pressure regulator for specific type of gas, also for fuel mixing (ingame gas mixer is not good when you have difference in temperature before mixing).. Also, it would be much easier later to expand your script to introduce some tolerance / Min-Max kPa, that would solve thing you try solve by using sleep (so it wont flick on/off every tick) .. Also you probably need two way system that can ADD and REMOVE, currently you only adding? Your greenhouse will produce O2 so you will need to constantly remove it, but sometimes when you expand you will need to add.

You need to filter your air in parallel to speed up the process.

I used to have to do confined space rescue training every year and they loved talking about low oxygen but i injected too much oxygen is also bad that the trainer finally started to include it too. But yea the story about the animals is too similarly to part of the training as over half the victims in these rescues are would be rescuers.

Splitsie programming non-trivial code on Stationeer's IC10, doing flow programming in Archean, you really came a long way! I recon in 5 years of playing programming-esque games, you might be able to start that video game you said you wanted to make with Capac

Make a head lamp or flashlight. That way you can have light without the suit. You can have a source and return pipe running all rooms. Each room having its own sensor. If the room detects a breach close supply line using digital valve. Begin pumping out the room. Each room would be a self contained logic system for that room. This can be connected to the airlock to seal the room. You would have the digital valve in the room that its for this way your logic is local to the room.

@1:54:00 I haven't finished video so see if you have solved this. My biggest tip for programing is to figure out a logic flowchart to break down each step. In this example step 1 does the pipe have enough pressure? if yes turn off all the pumps and jump to start. if no go to step 2 step 2 for each gas figure out if it is below min ratio for that gas, if so turn on that pump, if not move to next gas type (or step 3 if last gas) step 3 for each gas figure out if above max ratio for that gas, if so turn off pump, if not move to next gas type (or jump to start if last gas) figure out your logic before you try to code (even putting it in comments in the code) because trying to figure out the logic while also trying to remember the specific code commands can be a pain (tips from someone who took coding classes decades ago and has forgotten most of the commands but still likes logic problems)

i don't like shadowbanning on principle, but i concede it's perfect for dealing with trolls.

as @cowsareevil7514 says you need to paint everything right if you dont want it to explode

your loops are bad at moving heat because the heat exchanges in the middle short-circuit them. remove teh heat exchanges so the hot gas can actually carry the heat all the way to the condensation chamber, instead of dumping it back in the liquid to limit how much the evap chamber can take out of teh hot gas

1:06:30 Splitsie: "Khaki" -> "Car key" Also Splitsie: "You are saying it incorrectly, not us." Meanwhile there's no "r" in "Khaki". UK: Kaaki, but they also thinks it's the same as "Olive Green" so... US: Kacki Also I'm pretty sure it originated in india so I'll let them be the Arbiter I guess. Tan seems to be the less controversial nomenclature. Edit: Actually looking it up the word is from Urdu so not indian... Literally means "Dust colored".

Regarding your Cooling-Line, you can setup the AC's in a different way so that the efficiencies are all almost 100%. With this the cooling power could become almost 2.5 times the current one, it may even proof more powerful then your whole cooling-setup but there i am not sure of it. I comment very rarely so i do not know what can be postet and if i am allowed to post KZfaq links here. Search a video with title 'Lets talk about Cooling - Stationeers', done by 'Elmotrix'. I recommend you watch the whole thing but when you jump more or less to the end of the video, there he presents a simplyfied version of the cooling-loop. I had a setup like you regarding the AC's, but i only used AC's without phase-change. This new setup almost tripled the cooling-power of my setup while reducing the amount of AC's from 18 to 14

you left the gamma boost from the gen zero stream on 🙃

Hahaha. Another episode of stuff goes boom.

@1:27:00 definition of halt and catch fire from google. Halt and Catch Fire is a computer machine code instruction that was originally meant to make a computer's central processing unit (CPU) stop working, but in some cases could cause it to overheat and physically damage the hardware.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use phase change to "filter" the gases, by liquifying them? I know it works irl.

Purple is a Noble colour

I wonder if phase change could be used as furnace heater?

Couldn't help but freeze frame after the crash out to desktop at 15:22 just to compare notes. Notice he has Stardew Valley, but hasn't gotten Starstruck Vagabond, so either doesn't know or isn't interested in Yahtzee Croshaw/Second Wind. He has Sunless Sea but not Sunless Sky, indicating the Fallen London setting wasn't that interesting. Stellaris is still loaded, so I'm curious if he spends any time with it these days and whether he's spent the gobs of cash for all the DLC. Finally, I would have figured Space Engineers was obsessively kept up to date... 😁

Anyone got tiomestamps on the Blamo/s? Playing cathup on the vods atm but the title has me intrigued enough to want to see the aftermath at least.

Hey Splitsie. Nice greenhouse, however your running low on N2. You will need this to grow soybean for soy oil.

How are you guys finishing the vod so fast?!

What is the problem with the power / the cheat that is happening with it?

about the cooling: having 3 ACs to get from atmosphere of ~460°C down to 330°C should be sufficient. On my play I have 2x 3 ACs (460 -> 430 (AC) -> 380 (AC) -> 330 (AC)) in parallel - each with its own line to the outside (otherwise the temp change doesnt work quiet well), and after that 3 phase change loops brings my coolant at the end down to ~60-80°C.
