Using the turbine output water to cool the turbine is very unreliable. There's too much mass, you don't need all them doors.ģ. You'll have unwanted stuff in the turbine's steam room, eg, if that's oil or petrol, you'll be spending the next 20+ cycles trying to remove it, with the potential of releasing a very inconvenient steam bomb into your base.Ģ.

should anything else other than water enter the system, and don't rule this out, it happens. This design will give you insurmountable headaches down the line and I'll give you the reasons why.ġ. In the spoilers more details for the only 2 view involved: pipes and automation should you be interested. to electrolyzer to generate oxygen and delete the heat) In this example i am returning 'exhausted' hot water back in the container but can be routed where needed (i.e. The water tank above is intended to be every water source you can come up. So what i have come up is something along these lines: Needless to say i dislike the bug/exploit approach so wanted to build something 'fair' that is true to the game spirit. So i had this lava source at the bottom of the planet and a couple of steam vents and have been experimenting in debug mode to find something suitable for survival that wouldn't require endless cycles to build or super late game materials/dupes inspired from what i've seen around the internet and on this forum. I've delved quite a bit in game builds and mechanics and the more i learned the more i loved the pracmatic/simple/small system approach comprared to iper complex mega buildings etc.

Reality is, after DLC came out the Terra planetoid changed quite a bit being more limited in terms of resources. Someone will probably be entering this post thinking 'yet another steam turbine post' or something along this lines.
