Clarification on gases and ores

[Ext.]

can somebody clarify what are the different ores and their relations to gases ?

I figure :

Oxyde is Oxygen
Volatile is Hydrogen ??
there is this other ice crystal which could be Nitrogen ??

Your help is appreciated :D

Put them in the furnace and look at the furnace with your tablet using the atmosphere analyzer. I could just tell you but that ruins the fun.

There are 3 ices, oxide, volatile, and water. Water functions like a gas. Oxide melts to 90% O2, 10% N2. Volatiles melt to pure H2. Water melts to 80% H20, 20% N2.

Ores, when smelted, also release gases, including X, or pollutant, gas. The exception is copper, which burns clean with no off-gassing.

Actually any ore contains some gases. And even the pure like Oxite are not 100% clean there is always trace amounts of other in there.

There is a little thread about that that might be intresting. To sum it up, I really recommend placing your Furnace into a sealed room and pump out any gases and send it to a multi-filter facility for storage. You gonna need it later, especially N2, CO2 and H2O, but just add O2 as well and you are golden. Polluants/X as well if you want to use it for Jetpack (not indoors).

EDIT: How do you correctly link a steam-owned discussion link?

I see. so what I did is evaporate several stacks of oxide and volatile in 2 separate tanks connected to a mixer pipe (70/30) and then to the furnace. this doesn't seem to work. Pressure is not building over about 100kPa in the furnace :s

however manually putting oxide and volatile in the furnace work like magic

You must place a valve on the output and close it while firing/activte or the filters suck out the heat and pressure too fast. Also a valve on the fuel input line.

EDIT: I tried to automate the Furnace ... it's not worth it. Stick to the manual oxide/volatile for the moment it works best. I would however build a valve and waste pipe ... so that you don't loose the CO2 for plants and possibly N2 and maybe some remains of O2/H2.

yeah I have a valve on the output already.
on the input line, do you mean to add another valve after the mixer ?

The fuel usage is way too high when the input is continuous. Try firing up in intervalls and manually.

EDIT: And the temperature seems to increase exponential with the fuel pressure. Thats why continuous fueling is not a good idea. It burns it up in small intervalls instead of one big burn.
