Farming clay

[Aleddra]

I was playing a map of Arboria, vanilla ONI.

Near the end i realized there was no clay to just dig. I had very little from deodorizers.

How was i supposed to make enough to path the hydrogen to the rocket without ceramic?

I made it too far, i realize that... But i'd like to know if there was a decent way to make a ton of ceramic. For next time.

Well, deodorizers are still the solution.
Somehow get more polluted water (geysers, natgas/petrol/ethanol burning, co2 sources + carbon scrubbers, wash basins/lavatories/showers, import pwater/slime via rockets or for po2 there are vents or mass producing rotten foods (probably not very viable)) put it into a wide pool and pile deodorizers on top.

Arboria should have lots of polluted water. Just build a bridge made out of airflow tiles above a relatively big pit of polluted water and build deodorizers on top of it.

You would mean Verdante? Arboria had some ethanol pools, but no polluted water. Or swamp biomes at all. Vanilla ONI right?

Make ethanol, you'll get plenty of pDirt which could be shoved into rails as you don't have the DLC's sublimation stations.

They do offgas more when on rails? I never knew.
The missing sublimation station was the entire reason I left out the tree to pdirt way.

No idea if it's faster but using rails enables you to automatically spread 1000kg across 50 tiles in 20kg packets rather than having those 1000kg stacked on the same tile.

As it's conveyor rails, packages (or carts) can't merge like they would with gas/liquid pipes. This means you'd have to send materials from the pDirt storage, through the offgas area then dump the leftovers back into the pDirt storage.

Makes sense

So, it's not faster per gram, but there are more grams exposed to air, so with the greater surface area, yes the amount of material that gets processed per second is greater.
