ABOUT OXYGEN NOT INCLUDED:
In the space-colony simulation game Oxygen Not Included, you’ll find that scarcities of oxygen, warmth, and sustenance are constant threats to your colony's survival. Guide colonists through the perils of subterranean asteroid living and watch as their population grows until they're not simply surviving but thriving...
Build Extensive Bases and Discover What it Takes to Survive:
Everything in your space colony is under your control, from excavation and resource allocation right down to plumbing and power systems. However, resources will begin depleting with your first breath, so be sure to dig fast if you want to live.
Avoid Boiling with Thermodynamics:
Temperature control is a constant concern in space; too cold and you'll freeze; too hot and you'll fry. Keep tabs on ambient environmental temperatures and your colony's heat production to maintain a nice, cozy atmosphere for your colonists.
Enhance Efficiency through Complex Gas and Liquid Simulations:
Create interlocking pipe systems to swiftly deliver fuel and liquid to critical areas of your base. Plan well and be rewarded as your colony transforms into an imperishable, well-oiled machine.

My only thing with the mechanical pump is the overflow, which would've loved to see here. >If the filtered line gets backed up, you could find the gas/liquid that you wanted filtered now going through the rest of the line, and not just small packages. >If the line itself is backed up, now both are backed up.

@brockormond4131 6 месяцев назад

I put a value on the main line right before the sorting and set it to 90% max to prevent the packets from being too big and backing up the pipes as they reach the filters. That value is also useful to stop the flow when you are preparing a mech filter for a new element.

@RothAnim Месяц назад

@@brockormond4131 Another option is to loop the section of pipe connected to the filters, then bridge the inputs onto that loop. Any leftover packets will loop around and get picked up on subsequent passes.

@brockormond4131 Месяц назад

@@RothAnim I do use that when sorting the various forms of water for treatment to clean water. Still find that it can still backup and or clog without a release vent

@RothAnim Месяц назад

@@brockormond4131 Yeah, priorities and use cases need to be taken into account for sure. If the pipe is 99% oxygen, and I want to make sure the Atmo suits get 100% oxygen, then clogged pipes are usually temporary and rarely affect either output noticeably. If I'm trying to clear out a geyser so it won't overpressure, then any clog means wasted resources. For mixed gas/mixed liquid sorting, I'll bridge the input onto a loop, then attach the filters to that loop, dumping the filtered matter into storage/infinite storage. That way any leftover packets get cycled around until fully processed without clogging the loop, and the pump stops if the loop is full.

one thing to be careful with mechanical filters, dont let your lines back up. If your filtered line backs up you will have the overflow continuing down the origonal unfiltered line. A second thing is when your useing 2 bridges and a loop for your filtering it relies on there being an occasional non full packet or a packet of another gas. because the output can only send out 999g packets (with 1 g devoted to the loop) you build up a bit of a buffer with consecutive packets of 1kg. If there's a gap in the packets that buffer dumps into the output, if you send 1000 full packets your buffer runs out of space and sends the overflow down the unfiltered line.

@leonidmolochnikov4147 8 месяцев назад

Regarding the sensor driven filter - what if the automation is connected directly to the vent? You have them submerged anyhow, so they cannot overpressure, and you save on the energy cost of the shutoff

@Tomeroche 8 месяцев назад

I'm pretty sure that'd break it since it'd be activating for the gas packet behind the one that'd be sent out then the one you'd want to to go in.

@jonumine6250 8 месяцев назад

It could also be done with a mechanical filter.

@zargon7222 7 месяцев назад

It works perfectly with only the vent

@strings1984 5 месяцев назад

You can if the vent is open it goes out it if it's not the right element the vent is closed so the packet continues on the line, if your havening an issue with it running one packet behind throw a 1 second or less automation filter on and it will fix it. Also a not gate will make it open for anything that is not the element you want and keep only that element in the pipe.

@j.n.-fr5uh Месяц назад

The way I did it was with a gas element sensor and a shutoff valve which admittedly is not entirely free but works exactly the same as the 120w filter, for 12x cheaper

@desolationjones954 8 месяцев назад

Very helpful mod in general and esp. for mechanical filter building/debuging: Pipe Flow Overlay by SnackJunkie This mod will help you troubleshoot all your pipe flow problems! Upon opening the overlays for either liquid pipes, gas pipes, or conveyer rails, all of the pipes/rails will show a green arrow indicating the direction of flow. If no flow is possible, they'll instead have a red cross, making it easy to see where your problems are.

@blavena 3 месяца назад

It's best to have 2 filters per pipe to avoid overflow. While the 2 bridges solve the issue for a long time (about 999 packages) if for whatever reason the source pipe gets 1k packages of the material to be filered in a row there will be overflow and whatever is in the valve will pass, then more and more for every subsequent package of the same thing. One filter works great if you're sure the pipe is varied, but for extremely random stuf I'd be safe with 2, either that or play with sensors and stuff to stop the pipe at it's origin if the composition is to homogenous Also with 2 you can do some nice designs with a bridge to each side, 500g on the valve and an extra bridge to mix the output, it look quite neat with filter rolling different directions

@strings1984 5 месяцев назад

The last one you can do an element sensor to a not gate and then to a vent, it will vent anything that is not what the sensor is set to... ;-)

@brockormond4131 6 месяцев назад

love your explain videos, could you explain the temperature cloning glitch? I've found videos about it's basic structure and can duplicate it, but then I saw a Luma Plays short that expands on it, but doesn't explain it well. I tried a horizontal version and it didn't work as expected. I had the thermal regulator on the left with the intended 'cold source' on the right, but the glitch started cloning left to right (i.e. got warmer rather than cooler; which is in contrast to Luma's). All videos I found so far just glosses over the mechanics of it.

@weltraumvogel2 8 месяцев назад

but what happens to all of the filters if the filtered-out connection backs up?

@deatho0ne587 8 месяцев назад

8:30 - you are correct in most cases, but what if two packets of O2 have 1kg? This is more likely to happen in liquids to be fair at 10kg. You showed a way to solve it but it does slow down you air or liquid per second. 21:11 - For what you are using the gas shutoff for, you do not need it. Just connect the automation wire to the vent and run the pipe from sensor to the vent. Requires 0 power and does the same thing. Also works for liquid.

@BierTier 8 месяцев назад

On the first one: Even if you have 1000 packets of O2 in a row it would still work. The first package deposits 999.9g in the first pipe(full 1kg in the loop now) and 0.1g in the second(0.2g in the loop now). The second package then deposits 999.8g in the first pipe on top of the existing 0.2g in the loop and 0.2g in the second pipe, so it comes out to 0.3g. This repeats over and over. Everytime an extra 0.1g are being sent to the second pipe. So after 100 packages you are still only at 10g in the second pipe. This means that after 10.000 packages of 1kg in a row this system would let 0.1g through(999.9g will be absorbed by the second pipe). A single packet in that row of 10.000 packages which has less mass than itself combined with whatever is in the loop already will reset the system and it can take another 10.000 before breaking. The same goes if there is a gap of a single package in the supply. 10.000 packages at 1 package per second would take 16.66 cycles ingame at 1x speed or 166.66minutes(almost 3h) in real life. Even with my 10x speed mod it still takes 16 minutes at full blast.(I have not let it run for that long, I just did some basic math here. While I made the video I let it run up to about 150g in the second pipe at 10x speed to make sure I'm correct). With liquids it's a much bigger issue, since you are filling the pipe with a pump every single time until the pump breaks or you run out of power/liquid. That's why I showed that specifically! To your second point: Does that work? To be very honest, I have never tried that. I don't use systems like that very often at all(see my Let's Play series). Definitely something I need to try! Thank you!

@@BierTierYep automating the vent works :) Easiest way to filter CO2 from a rocket while keeping O2 in (O2 gets vented back to rocket).

@BierTier 8 месяцев назад

@@TeracomConsulting That’s crazy, I never even considered that, lmao 😂 For rockets I just put a vent for O2 on the very bottom. It deletes the CO2, no filtering or anything needed. Is it a bit of an exploit? Yes, so it’s up to personal preference if anyone wants to do that or not :)

@TeracomConsulting 8 месяцев назад

@@BierTierFrancis John was using the overwrite method for a while. That means that you are replacing < 1 kg co2 with 1kg O2. It ended up overpressurizing his ship over time. I also had overpressurization issues, so I run a mini gas pump (with co2 sensor) that runs past a vent dumping O2 back in, remaining CO2 goes to the rocket output port. If it works for you go for it. I'm just sharing an option and the reasoning behind it.

@BierTier 8 месяцев назад

@TeracomConsulting I see… I didn’t know he used it and I never noticed any overpressure issues. But thinking about it, that does make sense. I guess it would take a good while, but eventually it will happen. I need to take a closer look at my rockets and see what the pressure is in there. I appreciate any and all tips and tricks. Just because I make YT videos doesn’t mean I can’t miss or mess up stuff 😊

@Bazorki 2 месяца назад

so what is the requirement does it have to run from left to right or can i build it in reverse or even upside down as long as the incoming pipe has the same direction as the filter pipe ?

@BierTier 2 месяца назад

That is correct, you can build it in any direction you wish/need as long as the incoming pipe has the same direction as the filter pipe! I just used left to right as an example in the video

I always do the smart shutoff valves from the end of the video. I’ve never even seen a mechanical one. cool I’m about to replace a bunch filters in my base and save some power. Great filter! Is there a zero power filtering system for solids? Curious. I know the rails behave differently than gases/liquids and I don’t think there’s a solid valve. They have the solid valve reset, which requires the selected input to be received every so often..

@BierTier 8 месяцев назад

Awesome, I'm glad my tutorial helps you out in your base! Honestly, I don't know about solids. I never had to filter them before so I didn't really try around or look it up. No matter what it is, it always goes into a infinite storage for me :)

How can we solve problems with game slowing down over time? I need to restart the game every hour to have decent fps.

@BierTier 8 месяцев назад

It gets better when you restart the game? That sounds like a local issue. Potentially a memory leak or something like that. In general though, the brunt of the load is caused by pathfinding of dupes/critters/etc. and heat exchange calculations. Infinite storages(having all solid debris in 1 tile reduced the calculations required by a lot for example) help, reducing possible paths for dupes and critters as well. Having as much vacuum as possible is also helpful. That’s the best I’ve got for FPS increases :)

For the late game… does it take more resources for the pc to run a mecanical filter than a natural one? Bcz 1 of the problem of oni is when it start to slow down from ALL the simulation 😅

@BierTier 8 месяцев назад

I honestly don’t know. I don’t think that it takes much. The brunt of the load comes from pathfinding and heat exchanges. Since the gas always goes in the same direction and the main calculation for each package is addition(0.1g + whatever is added to that) and subtraction(whatever is in the loop - 0.1g) I’d think it shouldn’t be too hard on your PC 😊

@zaftnotameni 8 месяцев назад

late game the best solution for FPS is the filtered pump mod I haven't tested it but would guess the normal filter is better for performance than the mechanical one, each bridge/valve with a fallback creates a fork where gas can go either way depending on conditions and each of of those should be an extra calculation per tick... so... very very very likely that the powered "intended" filters are more performant

@zaftnotameni 8 месяцев назад

my preferred late game solution though is just to vaccum and blockfill as much as possible if you are not opposed to mods, besides the "filtered pump" there is also a "piped outputs" mod that saves a looooooot of processing power since a lot of blocks are prevented from emitting gas/fluid out instead just sending it straight to a pipe

@zaftnotameni 8 месяцев назад

@zaftnotameni 8 месяцев назад

might depend on HOW you build them... what happens is, if the valve overheats and breaks, gas shouldn't go across anymore, so essentially your filter loop empties out, once the filter loop empties, it starts accepting everything i'd be curious to understand HOW yours didn't, because I can't even think of a way to build these where it wouldn't cause this issue

@pierrotdeanau1848 8 месяцев назад

@zaftnotameni 8 месяцев назад

the only scenario I can think of that would be safe with a broken valve is: if the output of the filter is full and backlogged, the output and the filter loop both stay full (pre filled with the correct content) regardless 🤔 guess it will remain a mystery

@Scott_Burton 8 месяцев назад

Personally, when I'm using a mechanical filter, for simplicity i use 2 bridges into th filter, with a pipe running across the outputs then looping into th valve set for 1 gram. Then when I want to prime it when i have, say 3 gases to start with, I Just put a valve aftrr the pump and set it to 100 grams. When thr pump starts, the valve only allowes 100 grams of the gas through at one time so a single pump will cteate 5 packets of 100 grams out of the 500 it started with (if I am in no rush, i can set the initial valve lower, say 50 grams, the first bridge it reaches, the entire "mini-packet" will jump into the first filter, and the filter's valve only lets 1 gram pass in the filter. If the output is already hooked up, the e,cess will continue on ita way, but several mini-packets of the same gas will fill the filter out. The pump initial valve can be opened up for larger packets to allow filling faster, when there's stability in which filters are primed and the gases around the pump. I do the 2 bridge version jus in case i need to push 1kg of gas into the pipeline later. Once its primed, no modification is needed to go to 1kg. Its a little more work to build, but also not as sensitive to pause and snipping
