Petroleum boiler

[Cheapmax]

Hello!

On the map I'm currently playing, I have lile 5 volcanos (the magma spitting ones) but all situated at the verry bottom of the map.

Any one saw a petroleum boiler design that work with those?
I'm usually using the one shown in the Francis john tutorials with the magma blade but does not fit at the bottom of the map

Thanks for any though/idea/links

You can use bead pump to easily move magma from bottim. I used it once to pump all magma biome to top of the map.

bead pump?

anyway, pending on how they are situated, it might be easiest to set them up so a sweepy made from a durable high melting point metal just suck it all up and then have dupes deliver it to a chamber to boil the oil. then a sweepy to pick up the rocks made by cooling the magma.

Sorry, the correct name is esher waterfall.

The size of (francis) petrolium boiler depends on the material used. Maybe it fits if you use aluminium for the pipes.

It's the magma tank + magma blaďe + magma droppeŕ that dont fit well
Was hoping for a way to avoid pitcher pump to move magma a couple of tiles higher 😅
Dupes time is so precious...and the have a too big tendency to go to brake while in the air lock liquid and leave magma filled bottle in there 😅

Could design it similar to the 'geothermal' variant?

Yeah that's the video I looked tgis week end to try and solve it
The height of the crude oil dropping can vary...meaning the counterflow can be flipped and moved much higher
Still I find no solution yet for the magma tank + magma blade + magma dropper (the dropper end up in the edge of the map undestructible tipes and can't be built)....so no heat transfer mecanisme 🤔

I created an experimental boiler to show how you can use esher waterfalls to pump magma:

Random untested thought experiment:
Use the magma in a steam turbine setup extracting energy from the magma down to almost minimum steam turbine temperatue - use this to power a super cooled aquatuner. Build the heat exchanger elsewhere where it is more convenient - however the diminished efficiency for the turbine would mean you would perhaps require the 'minor volcano copper' exchanger setup but a 'major' volcano powering the turbine.

This 'might' allow you to build the tank/blade/dropper/turbine setup by your volcano, without having to worry about the location of the heat exchanger.

the highschooler in me is giggling looking at that.
