Removing chlorine

[SaimeraGames]

how do i do it?

Air pump and a filter. Pump it into tanks, an area not being used or vent it into space. For the bleach stone, build a storage container submerged under water and set it to bleach stone, high priority. The water keeps the bleach stone in the storage container from off gassing.

I want to get thimble reed but there's slimelung in the swamp and polluted oxygen do i don't go there

Make an airlock to keep the slimelung in and some deodorizers to get rid of all the polluted oxygen. Once all the po2 is gone wait until the slimelung is dead or very reduced.

You can also pump in some chlorine to kill slimelung as well.

Why do you want to get rid of it? IMO Chlorine is one of the most useful gases and easy to manage as (apart from CO2) it is the heaviest.

As others have said get a Gas Filter to seperate it and either send it to its own dedicated room or a Gas Container to save for later. Me, I pump it all into a room with Water Containers. I then pump my water/polluted water to the Chlorine gas room, disable the last container, and over time it kills all the germs. As others have said, later game it is great for removing Slime Lung (though clean Oxygen does the same, albeit slower). Putting a Storage Container in the same room to hold Slime is a good alternative to submerging it in water.

Off topic, and as an aside, no gas is worthless and think before removing it completely. Even CO2 has uses. Early game I pump it into a small room where i keep my Ration Box, as it stops food from spoiling and avoids need for a fridge. Now with the introduction of Oxyferns a room full of CO2 with these plants provides a reasonable amount of Oxygen (assuming your asteroid has a lot of water and dirt like mine does). If your asteroid has fungal spores and lots of slime then cooked mushrooms are a perfect way to sustain a base.

For me, IMO, the least useful gas is Hydrogen. Unless you have a source of it in my experience it gets used by the Hydrogen power plant exceptionally fast. Plus its very mobile, moving up to small pockets at the top of bases and so is less easy to control than heavier gases.

Put dirty things down the bottom of your base. Like your slime storage, or even food. The ambient chlorine in the area will keep it all sparkling clean.

While you can use gas filters, you can also use a gas shutoff to filter and separate gasses. It's something I generally go for as soon as I've sorted out automated coal power, and I do so that I can:
Remove/Store CO2 to prevent suffocation in the lower portions of the base
Capture chlorine for disinfection
Capture hydrogen for drecko farming
Capture Polluted oxygen to route to my deoderisers.

Build a gas pump, and ensure there is at least one free section of pipe (e.g. not covered by tiles, structures, or ladders). Build a gas element pipe sensor over the pipe, and follow that with a gas shutoff. Connect the two with automation wire, and now you have a 10 watt filter. Requires far less power than the actual gas filter and is more compact. I set up a gas pipe loop and keep adding more shutoff valves to separate different gasses into storage containers or vents.

To kill slimelung or other germs, build a room with a few storage containers (you can also use liquid reservoirs for germ-water). Make sure it is enclosed on all sides (no doors) and leave one tile open at the roof with a ladder down into the room. Place a vent and just vent all your chlorine into there.
Set the containers to sweep only, and make sure they're okay to accept anything from the slime biome. Slime, algae, gold, sedimentary rock, etc.
Now when you dig into the slime biome, you can sweep everything so it gets taken to your decontamination chamber.

For any unwanted gases, you can just build gas reservoirs to hold them until you can figure out what to do with them. But chlorine is useful for decontamination, C02 or chlorine can also be used to keep food sterile. Hydrogen for power or drecko farming, and natural gas for power or cooking.

Polluted Oxygen you generally just want to get deoderisers to convert to 02. It's also how you can get clay for ceramics.

The Dasha Saltvine consumes chlorine gas in its vincinity, or you can make Squeaky Pufts and store the Bleach stone
