You replaced a lot of your melted wires with copper again (ensuring it will melt next time). You should upgrade all the wires in your rocket silo to steel. The steel wires that melt should be upgraded to Tungsten (Refined Wolframite). Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal. The hottest part during a launch is directly down the center of the rocket. Runing a wire down that hottest part pretty much ensures melting. Bring that wire in from the side, and place a TSP near the wires that are under the rocket. (The TSP will absorb the heat from the launch rather than the wire, and will release it back to the environment over time.) Note: a Petroleum rocket is MUCH hotter than a CO2 rocket.
When you assign a dupe to the neural vascilator, they will get 1 of 4 possible buffs. Each vascilator can be used once. Space missions can return vascilator recharges. The 4 possible buffs are - Decreased O2 consumption - increased strength - Health regeneration - I can't remember the 4th.
@@zelusinsanitas8125 No, once a dupe gets one of the buffs, he can't get that one again. He can get the other 3 though. Once he has all 4, he can't be placed in the vascillator again.
Using a steam vent is an interesting way to make petroleum. I can't say I've ever seen that before. One challenge you will have is thermal mass. Oil has lots, steam not so much. An average steam vent produces 750 kg of steam per cycle. A little more than 1kg per second. I really don't want to do the math, but off the top of my head I'd say you will need a LOT of 500c steam to raise 1 kg of Oil from 100c up to 400c (at least 50 kg of steam?). Once the Oil has cooled all the steam to below 400c, you need a way to get rid of the cold steam. Sorry, but I don't think you can realistically produce any Petroleum from a steam geyser. The way you usually make petroleum is to have magma pool on one side of a thermo transfer door, and your pool of oil on the other. If Temp of the Oil/Petroleum is > 405c open the door. Magma at 1500c has a LOT of thermal mass to share with the oil.
To cool your petroleum from a petroleum boiler... A counter flow heat exchanger serves 2 purposes... It cools your petroleum, and it pre heats your oil. (Transferring the temp from your petroleum to the Oil). This can be done in several ways. Generally for petroleum boilers, you would create a large S chamber. Where the hot petroleum flows from the top, down through the S to the bottom, and you are pumping your oil up in radiant pipes through the flowing petroleum. When a counterflow is executed properly, the 2 liquids will nearly exchange temperature. Feed in 70c Oil, by time it gets to the top it is at 390c. Flow down 400c Petroleum, by time it gets to the bottom it is around 95c. "Free" cooling of the petroleum, and "Free" heat for the oil, meaning you are only using the magma to take it from 390 to 405 instead of from 70c to 405c.
A temp shift plate can not move temperature to another temp shift plate. Your setup would be about 99% as effective if you skipped every 2nd TSP. Alternately, you could increase the effectiveness by moving every 2nd tsp up or down 1 tile. (Making a checkerboard).
That being said, I'm not sure what adding a LOT of thermal mass to that area will do. They will drop the temp in the short term, but once all the TSPs get up to temp, you now have an extra 50 tons of material holding heat that needs to be cooled. You aren't solving a problem, you are just pushing it down the road and making it harder to solve then.
