My Cold Steam Vent Tamer - Explained 

Very cool! Now i got a better understanding of overheating pipes and cooling mechanics!

This is the best explanatory video ever!

That's an insane build.

Thanks for the video. I'm not new to ONI, but only from you I learned about liquid pump mechanic 1:28. Man, that stuff is crazy! I already found 2 useful application for it: 1) powerless room vacuum 2) powerless geyser storage. In both cases we just need to fill few pipe sections with water, brobably bridged in, with storage above. For just vacuum we destroy storage when gases deleted.

I have no idea what you are explaining here. Thanks for the video.

if you have 2 cool steam vents. put an aquatuner in one with a steam turbine above to heat up the water above 125 and turn it into 95C water which can be output from the steam turbine into a water pool with a cooling system, and have the liquid pipe from the aquatuner go to the other to cool that liquid down therefore using 1 aquatuner to turn the steam of 2 cool steam vents into water which can be cooled in the main water tank

Hi Guys! Here is the explanation to my "Cold Steam Vent Tamer" as well as a version for geysers that are not burried! Have fun. Also: I addded Blueprints for this on ;) The self-cooled power positive cold steam vent tamer.

Thank you!

I love this one

There is a huge design flaw on the compact version that can be fixed, otherwise it disables the entire thing: The insulated pipe CANNOT pass by the thermo sensor, even if it is very insolated, the water there will eventualy became steam, it is getting a tiny bit of heat even with ceramics, and since it is sitting there basically forever, only renewing 200g per tic it will eventually heat up to steam. The easy solution is moving the piping around, shouldn't be much of a problem since there is already a block on that column, another fix would be a bridge. One thing is fore sure, you cant have water sitting at a 200 ºC block since no insulation is perfect. BTW, amazing content, I'm really enjoying your vids, I wish I had discovered this sooner, liked and subscribed already

Beware: After ~200 cycles the insulated pipes leading through the battery-rooms will break even if you use ceramic. Better go around the 200°C-Petroleum Also if you don't have ~250°C petroleum and/or magma I'd recommend to "prime" the build by running one or two geotuners on the steam vent to get 130+°C steam temporarily (or permanent, if you have renewable bleach stone. Heating up the battery-rooms enough to get rid of geotuning is even faster with a conveyor-bridge.

This is super helpful! Why is naptha always used for the drip/gas function instead of other liquids like crude oil?

Genius.

Naphtha!

I have an Idea. With only one Geotuner you can tune the steam emitted to a temperature of 130° C. Then you would need the extra chamber for hotter steam, and the steam turbines could work at max capacity. And since the Steam is only 130°C you can still self-cool them. The only problem I encountered with the tuning part; sometimes ur Data on the Tuner runs out and your dupes because your dupes only research and refill the tune-data after it has been fully depleted, making the steam too cold for the turbines. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this(maybe try something in the likes).

subbed!

Now what if you have the mod that allows to "crack" the vent to increase the output? I've done it to one and in active periods it could go like 55kg/s, I'm thinking about splitting the chamber to leave 1 tile space so the steam keeps going up and keep adding levels to the steam turbines to match the average output of the vent after cracking...

It's smart and efficient, but if you can have 250C Petrolium for your cool steam vents, then you probably have enough power to spare to run it with standard setups and not bother with complicated version.

Will this only work with naphtha or can a different liquid be substituted?

Is there an early game alternative liquid you can use to the petroleum? I’m thinking about it and I just can’t think of an alternative. This might be a mid to later build because of the oil requirement.

Thanks! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Just one question though, why not use a transformer instead of a battery? It would have zero energy loss and it seems like with the steam generator you don't really need to worry about turning it off to prevent overheating.

How did you stick the bridge and the vent in the same place though? Was it fixed or something because I can't make the bridge and the liquid vent be constructed on top of each other.

I comment to help statistics

So is the idea that if one port is hot enough, the remaining ports work (consume steam) even if it’s cold steam relative to the necessary threshold?

Does the liquid pipe have to have only 1/10 of a packet to prevent a state-change or could you do 2/10 of a packet?

Nice build! Was this inspired by my Reddit post that used Steel Power Tranformers as a source of heat?

-Why 2 steam turbines? Does this not work at half size with 1? -What are the two gold metal tiles doing under the turbines? I assume for heat transfer with the bridges. But I don't see why it would needed or even wanted here. -I get using a liquid valve for the bead pumps to keep the pressure low with constant flow. But why in the battery box? I see that it is 105C. Except isn't it only getting to 105C due to being tiny packets? I can see why preheating before it goes in makes sense. But it loses its heat through via gold metal tiles immediately before hitting the petroleum. Isn't it below 100C anyway? A second NOT gate on the existing temp sensor to restrict the vent would do the same, wouldn't it? There something I'm not seeing?

Luma, what would you recommend for getting this as a "permanent" setup for only removing that much steam as the geysers calculated average output is? That way the system will output the same amount of water for thousands of cycles. My first thought was to maybe block some ports if necessary and reintroduce the last few bits of water to the steam room to exactly export the Calc. Average output. Is this even possible? That way the steam above the vent would have to be enough mass to work for an entire dormancy period, which is very long according to my experiences...

1:49 is it possible to make a planet reach vacuum really quick with this method?

Hi from South African vloggers 🇿🇦 😀 ❤️🌍 ...

I used magma and a gas bridges . My gold liqid vent melted. Any tips?

Huh I usually use it for water but that works 2

Glass product please

is it a way to build that with early game materials?

does this tamer yield any reasonable amount of water?

I swear you have to be a genius to play this game🤦🏾‍♂️

what are the gas bridges doing? I cant see if theyre connected to anything

Okay so the only outcome of this built is 110w? No thanks, not worth it. For me to tame cold steam vent means to consistently and effectively cool water from it.

That's impressive, but to me, useless. I don't see the point in explaining how to do something Tier 420 ;). why not start with the simplest and realistic build that one could start with. "let's build a plane, this is the engineer of an F23"... no, start with a paper plane, then wood, then wood and paper introducing frames, etc.

Why is it called "cold steam" vent if the hell is hot🤬!!

This is why I sometimes really angry about this game. The basic vents that 100% exist in the map regardless of the seeds are all sort of trash, when randomly spawned certain vents are way better at every aspects compared to their basic counterparts and can completely replace them. For example, you need this level of complexity and design to tame a cool steam vents and get '95C' water around 1~2kg/s average output, while water geyser just gives you a twice amounts of (3~4kg/s average) 95C water without any process. Polluted water vent give you the same amounts of water with 30 Celsius, and cool slush geyser gives you -10 Celsius with the cost of halved average output (1~2kg/s average, as same as cool steam vents.) I don't think this is a good game design and think gameplay should not dramatically depend on the luck (seed) and liquid water vents must be basic to all map instead of useless cool steam vents. For example, polluted water vents on swamp biome and cool slush geyser on frozen biome are perfectly fit with it's nature and makes each biomes more unique, not only just makes gameplay more easier and enjoyable. I never use cool steam vents for this reason and always depend on liquid water vents for water supply.

=THANKFULLY THINGS ARE QUITE EASIER NOW ABOUT JUST USE GEOTUNER......AND BLEACH STONE FARM....... ............THAT GAME ALREADY TOO MUCH OF ABUSING BUGS AND GLITCHES SOOOO ANY SIMPLE SOLUTION IS WAY BETTER
