infinite gas storage change?
Has something changed about infinite gas storage using liquid pool method? I've got two tiles partially full of water w/ high pressure gas vent exiting on one. With or without the pump pressurized, the high pressure vent shows as over-pressurized.

High pressure vent only vent when pressure is under 20kg.

The OP is asking about an exploit which allows for higher pressures.

AFAIK, you need 2 - 20 kg/tile of a safe liquid like petroleum to create the infinite storage. Most gasses people want to store appear from a vent at too high a temperature to use water without it turning to steam, unless you take steps to cool it down.

make a 5 tile storage,

the 4 x's for a pump, bottom x for normal vent, Drop a tiny bit of oil on the vent tile, done!

I usually use 880 on oil. Vent next to two air flow tiles.

The vent is in 10.

I've tried more than 10 I always get over pressure.

Any less and I've seen it get deleted.

I think there is still a bug that less than 12 tiles of space for storage you can get 25% of the gas will get deleted. Or is it 9?

I usually build a 4x4 space box so that 16 tiles of space.

I don't know what or how others' design. I myself use 3 tile wide (3x3) for infinite gas storage in the past time. But now I don't build infinite storage since the stored gas was never used so I don't think I need them.

I understand OP asked about the exploit for infinite gas storage. I'm just saying that high pressure gas vent can only vent up to 20kg. I'm not sure how much water OP used for his design so I say itx max is 20kg.

Based on these replies, I went back and looked at the video I followed. I believe the answer is that I used too much water on the two tiles. If I ever try that trick again, I will wipe up a spill and use minimal volume rather than using a bottle emptier.

thanks for the suggestions

I'm running into the same thing now - it worked before, but now it doesn't...

Regardless of putting gas through the normal vent or not - it reads overpressure behind the small amount of liquid (water, in my case).

So basically I am using it right now in my current playthrough and everything works as before. I am using normal vents though and <2kg liquid. Right now I have 1200kg per tile in 16 tiles of C02 storage.

Iv always just used Mech Airlock doors and a rolling open close timing to push a gas into a YxZ room. It has no cap.

Isn't there a game engine limit of 100,000kg per tile or per debris or something?
Perpetually storing useless material is great hoarding, but if there's no use for it then just vent it to space.
