I can only agree 100% with this comment. Excellent work Echo.

Thank you much for the Super Thanks. Very happy you enjoyed the tutorial!

....DONT U EVEN DARE!!THESE DESINGS ARE TERRIBLE! ...FIRST OF ALL, STEAM TURBINE TO BE ALSO IN INSULATED ROOM!......SECOND OF ALL, THERE MUST VE BEEN A VACUUM SEALED INTERMEDIATE WITH LIQUID LOCKS INBETWEEN!.....WITH ACCESS BY ATMO SUITS, THO .......ALSO!...SPILL ENOUGH WATER ON STEAM TURBINES!...IT'LL SERVE AS MEDIUM TO TRANSFER HEAT......I'VE STOPPED ON 100Kg PER TILE.........AND RADIANT LIQUID PIPE THRU ALL THE WATER AND ROW OF INSULATED TILES BETWEEN !!.....BC INSULATED TILES *WILL* GET HOT EVENTUALLY AND COOK TURBINES .....YUP,IT'S SELF COOLING SETUP .......ALSO ABOUT CONVEYOR SYSTEM....THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER WAY.....ABOUT U'RE MAKING RAIL THERMO SENSOR SET TO BELOW 125⁰C...AND AT VERY BACK OF RAIL S NEAR LOADER....RAIL ELEMENT SENSOR+FILTER +BUFFER GATES.........SO WHEN I'LL GET CLOGGED, ALL THAT CLOGGING WILL STRETCH TO THE PLACE SOOO IT'LL FORCE ALL THIS TO GO FURTHER, RIGHT?? ....ALSO ABOUT WHY NOT USE TANK WITH LIQUID AS COOLING MEDIUM, THO........SO ANOTHER SHUTOFF AND ANTI CLOGGING SETUP ............. .....AND YEAH, SCREW THOSE......ALL .......LIKE IF U'RE HAVING PLACE THEN PUT ROOM WORTH OF 5 TURBINES......THAT'LL MAKE ALSO KIND OF SMALL INDUSTRIAL SAUNA FOR YOUR STUFF.......... ...........ACTUALLY I'M SURPRISED THAT DUDE MADE SO WRONG LIKE EVERYTHING.....

An easy fix though is you can just set the conveyer temp sensor to "above" the desired temp. I've tried avoiding getting only micrograms of metal by putting in a timer sensor and connecting it to the conveyer loader to try to make sure its full of metal before I start sending it and its worked so far but there's probably a better way.

If I remember correctly, 2Legitcity has a good solution for that: using a buffer gate and a filter gate allows the system to purge the micro packages. Although, the rail system is a bit different than the one presented in this video

That would be my preferred solution.

but that would mean that some of the cooling happens in the cooling loop, which is wasting energy (you are consuming energy instead of extracting it)

I ate the wallpaper

No fair, I wanted some

wallpaper is after my time

I wish our DWU reps would do something...

Some things aren't meant to be tamed. ;)

wouldn't you want the metal to come out of the steam chamber at 200? My first instinct is that it if you're trying to maintain optimal temps, it would be drawing heat out of the steam under 200 and stealing it from the turbines. The question then is you're using an AT, so what is the balance? Is it 130, is that the tested temp?

@@BouncingTribbles (

@@brianriley5108 That makes sense, I keep thinking of it in terms of power. IF you weren't worried about the temp of the metal and were just using it for power than pulling it out to keep temp would make sense, but if you're cooling the metal it's just about getting that temp down.

Pulling power off the heat from volcanoes is key until you can tap into geothermal. I assume that since you don't have petroleum yet you aren't deep enough down to setup a geothermal either.

@@ZachariahWiedeman Oh I've explored the entire planetoid, there's just so many things I haven't gotten round to trying yet. This play through was the first time I got to steel haha

@@C3PVO Ah, steel... haha, yeah, I heard that's useful. 😉 Speaking of steel, while you're refining that steel you can actually create a little power using the heat generated from your metal refinery - and steel refining generates a LOT of heat. If I recall correctly, you just use crude oil as your coolant and then loop the coolant output back into the refinery with a pipe sensor and shutoff so that it keeps heating up until it is hot enough to heat up a steam room with a turbine. After it cools off in the steam room (again, another pipe sensor and shutoff does the trick here), you can send it back into your original loop that feeds the metal refinery. You'll probably want a liquid reservoir between those loops so that you always have plenty of backup coolant on hand. There ya go: No wasted heat, free power, and an infinite source of coolant for your refinery. Easy peasy pie. 😉 P.S. When refining steel, this can generate more power than the refinery used. But other metals that don't generate as much heat, such as gold, copper, and tungsten, won't generate enough heat to replace your refinery's power draw, but they can still reduce the impact of it. But steel generates a LOT of heat, so, yeah, you can actually *generate* electricity by refining steel. Who knew??

Why not just plug it into the cooper cooling loop?

Glass melter? As in, melt the sand into glass with a copper volcano?

Yes. So, just like they do a loop for the chiller, I also build a similar loop inside the hot chamber, only letting anything ~130° into the next loop and backing up the conveyor loader. Although any extra automation inside is going to need steel, the conveyor shutoff is 200kg and a sensor 25kg. And yes, all of this is going to consume power instead of producing more, but I myself need the metal waaay more and as soon as possible than saving power.

And that holds true for all bridge types, not just conveyer rails.

Are you sure about that? The steam deletion bug was a thing back in the day, if the turbine output vent were to be placed on the bottom of the steam chamber. But it has been patched for a couple of years by now, so...

@@nazgu1 Honestly not sure, because it happened almost year ago. I haven't used this tamer since.

He opens them during Twitch streams and people vote to guess what they'll be. (It drives me a bit nuts, too, but it is amusing in stream).

Plant some arbor trees and read fibers, they'll suck up some of that polluted water. You can also process some of it to make clean water and turn that water into oxygen and burn off the excess hydrogen unless if you need that hydrogen for a dreco farm. You can even use the polluted water to feed into your metal refineries.

@@skilz8098The Metal Refineries does make sense to add heat / pull chill out of that water. Are there other ways to efficiently extract that chill? I'm wondering if there's a chain of things I should do with it. Like send it through the base, then into Refineries, and finally into my SPOM. I struggle with what to do because I fall back to Aquatuners and never make use of this free chill water.

First run it trough a heat exchanger at around -5 degrees if you need sub zero temperatures anywhere in the base. Then run it through a second heat exchanger at around 10-15 degree you use to chill the whole base. Then dump it into an industrial sauna, or, if you dpnt have one just a flash chamber with a steam turbine and run oil cooling loops for your meral refineries through and dump your molten glass there. Feed the output directly into your electrolyters and cool the output oxygen with your second heat exchanger. Might need some tuning to get a constant flow but should be quite efficient.

​@@sirimperialmike6398 Just be creative with it, experiment with the game and see what does and doesn't work. Each world generation, base design, and environment is going to vary. You could also use some of the water for pacu farms too. If you have any oil wells you could always clean this water then send it to the oil wells if you have an oil biome on either your starting or secondary asteroid. You could also use the water to cool any magma volcanoes to give you nearly infinite material. The process of using this would heat up the polluted water, it would flash to steam, condense to clean water and it would cool the magma enough to solidify it. You would have to have this in a concealed room and then send the solid mineral from the magma to a chiller. There's a lot you can do with it.

@@sirimperialmike6398 I would be careful with sending the hot water coming out of the refineries directly to the spom. That would produce hot oxygen. If you have oil wells you could send the hot water from the refineries to the oil wells but you would have to run it through a water sieve first. This would yield oil that's even hotter which could make it easier to turn it into petroleum. I would have a seperate line for the chilling of your base and watering your plants and spom as to your industrial lines. Sure you can have a single pump and then T the line off into two directions. Some of this water can be cleaned and then sent into bathrooms and showers and be recycled. Yeah, for things that you want to be temperate I'd have a single line, and for cooling buildings with extreme heat I'd use a seperate line.

The only way you'd get debris taking heat out of the steam chamber is if you introduced colder debris from a source other than a volcano. The metal is always much hotter than the steam when it comes out, and it can only cool down to the same temperature as the steam. If left in the chamber long enough without the introduction of more heat, the steam turbine will eventually cool both the steam and the metal to below it's activation temperature of 125°C, and it will stay there until something adds heat again (you'd have to plug the volcano with a coal tempshift plate for this to ever happen, realistically).

If you have a sauna, you don't need to do anything special really - just snake the rails through your sauna and then into a debris chiller. The only difference would be the size of the steam room, which in your case will also contain metal refineries and other equipment.
