Pretty good setup. If you have a coloured pipe in your hand (or anything else that stacks) and pick up another item or stack, the New stack will get the colour of the stack in your hand. So that way you can save Even more paint. I usually have a locker with 1 pipe of every colour. The one way valve between the volume pump and waste tank isn't really needed, as the volume pump itself is one way. The manual valves for the oxy and vol pipes have the handle pointing the wrong way when open ;) The gases doesn't have to flow past the radiators to be affected by them. The whole pipe/tank network between two valves/pump is considered a single entity. The radiators could just as well be at the end of a dead end and work just as well. Also, with the radiators placed where they are, they won't affekt the temp i the waste tank itself. I approve of mixing the fuel close to the consumer. I once blew up a 10x10 grid, 10 story high, underground base. I mixed the fuel in the tank room and pipe it all over, then it overheated somewhere... The gas mixer used to only work properly when the input gases had the same pressure, is it still like that? Keep it up!
Lot of useful tips as always, thanks Stian. I did not know about pipe coloring, but you are 100% right about the one way valve being superfluous. I intend to remove it in the next episode. Gppd catch on the manual valve handles :-). Regarding the gas mixer and same pressure I have literally no idea. Anyone ?
very nice playlist. One tip for now that you have the filtration system running, is to pressurize the base with a gas mixture of 80% Nitrogen and 20% O2 (CO2 if it is the greenhouse), because it is harder to control the temperature with a pure O2 or CO2 environment and you dont need it to be 100% to be breathable or to do hydroponics. (BTW, this is approximately the ratio on earth atmo, excluding other gases) The reason to chose the Nitrogen is because of its thermal properties and not be a toxic gas. It is also possible to remove entirely the thermal control if you have the right pressure set up, since it will naturally achieve a correspondent temperature for the pressure.
WOW, i had no idea that it works in that way. I had no idea that the gas composition affects the temperature it heats up to. This is gamechanger. I will try it for sure and thank you so much for bringing it to my attention.
@@ianbautista3672 By using input and output pumps, and gradually adding and removing ingredients you are changing the gas mix inside the furnace. You do not have direct control over temp and pressure, for that you need a bit more automation (which i hope i will be able to fix later)

@@kelsomack9809 The game is really fun and its high learning curve is what makes it so rewarding when it works. Same thing as Kerbal Space Program but with base building :-)

The radiators are cooling the furnace recommend adding a value cause u don't want the furnace cooling 100 percent of the time

nice build just a little tip if you need it further down the road upgrade all pipes to insulated tanks as well for better temp control :-)
Good tip!
You probably addressed this somewhere, but why did you use steel frames for everything? Seems very time consuming and expensive.
Was cheap as on mars its not that hard to smelt steel. Also that was prior to revalance
Can I build it in smaller area, not huge like baseball stadium like in this video?
Yay I needed this! Thanks.
You are welcome
How is the pressure and temperature controlled?

i just got the game. and are still learning the ropes of it... furnace is the next thing i need to do..
The game is incredibly satisfying. Figuring out stuff is fun, and when it works its golden :-)

If you're going to do something, do it right. And that means full colour-coding!
Fair point, though i might do it off cam, as otherwise it would be really artsy episode :-P
Your valves underneath are still closed
