nitrogen gas collection

[MJS WARLORD]

whilst looking for another coal mine i found a nitrogen gas mine , i have resource well pressuriser but how do i transport the gas to my base their are no visible outputs on it so i guess i am doing something wrong

[rednvss]

it's a 2 part process.. you need the well pressurizer and the extractors/well heads placed on each node

[MJS WARLORD]

OK THANKS

Note that unlike liquids (water/oil etc.), gases like nitrogen do not require pumps - no headlift to worry about

Thanks vector it will take the pipe a long time to reach full pressure as it is a long one but i dont need it yet

...or you could use a train to transport the gas if it is far away.

LOL i dont think the train would be any good cos i made a walkway is the sky to get to it

Extractor -> Packager -> Drone
That's how I'm transporting it.

Do you drone back the cans? Becouse aluminium ain't cheap and neither abundant!
If you drone back the cans, do you use a single drone that fetches filled cans and brings back empty ones, or do you need two separate drones?

There's a huge nitrogen well on the northern coast, and since most of my factories are in the rocky desert i'm using trains with liquid cars and after few trips the system presurrized well. I made some buffers and have the cooling systems factory always running with a sink. This way I use all my alcald sheets production (1200/min) to make batteries and heat sinks, and have 900 alu-casing spare for future particle accelerator.

BUT, I likkke very much drones and think they are superefficient, and also I have massive battery production/minute, so the packaging way is interesting indeed.

Drone can carry items in both direction, so in this case, you absolutly can do that with a single drone; just connect the (un)packager to the dronestation to send them back to the nitrogen factory. So, once you made enough empty cans, you can stop producing them, as long as thoses are the same that will be fulled/emptyed endlessly.
