Sulfur Geyser Tamer (Sulfur at 25°C)

This simple construction makes it possible to tame any sulfur geyser. The dispensing temperature is adjustable and can be 25 °C or less.

Introduction

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2357898068

• Processing speed: 3000g liquid sulfur into 3000g solid sulfur per second
  
• Material requirements: steel (necessary), aluminum and diamond (recommended) - all undefined materials can be chosen at will
  
• Power supply: the build is not self-sufficient and must be supplied with electricity

Basically, the following construction will deal with any sulfur geyser, regardless of it's values. Exceptions will be revealed by completely filling the geyser chamber (see 1.) with liquid sulfur. This will not affect the function of the structure in any way. Each sulfur geyser produces enough material to ensure the constant fertilization of at least 60 grubfruit plants.

Manual

1. The pump must be made of steel. The room should, but does not have to be, in a vacuum.
   
2. Each liquid valves must be set to 1000g. Any value over 1000g will cause immediately broken pipes. They have to stay in a vacuum, or will overheat at some point.
   
3. The heatsink. Radiant liquid pipes: aluminum. Tiles: diamond and aluminum. You can choose materials with less thermal conductivity, but this will reduce the effective cooling.
   
4. The dropbox. The room design is non-binding and can be adapted as required. Avoid joining sulfur carrying pipes before a liquid vent, or the pipes break. If the chosen materials match the suggestion at point 3, following applies: obtained sulfur temperature = liquid pipe thermo sensor temperature +~6°C.
   
5. The aquatuner must be made of steel and has to be connected to the thermo sensor. The steam chamber has to be "filled" with vacuum and 200kg water. This results in an uptime of approx. 60%/cycle for the aquatuner and 300-500 W power from the steam turbine (when the geyser is active and the thermo sensor is set to 20°C).
   
6. Radiant pipes are necessary as shown. Insulated pipes (igneous rock) should be used from the pump to the liquid valves, the rest is not mandatory. Overflow under the aquatuner. Fill the cooling loop with polluted water.

Hints

• A liquid reservoir can be integrated into the cooling loop to equalize the temperature. This makes the activity of the aquatuner very even.
  
• Insofar as the box to 4. was rebuilt: it must be ensured that the auto-sweeper and the conveyor loader are cooled by radiant liquid pipe (see 6.).
  
• Insofar as the box to 4. was rebuilt: it is important to ensure that there is a mesh tile below the conveyor loader. Prevents the occasional formation of natural tiles in this area while loading the game.

Kind regards, MCC

@Astra I sent you a friend request regarding the new layout. I would like to see the layout you propose in picture. Also I want to know how much power this tamer needs roughly.

you can reduce your aquatuner uptime if you snake the 10kg/s of 165 Degree liquid sulfur through the steam room first before it goes to the liquid valves. If you use 4 radiant pipes that should chill the sulfur to 125 before reaching your chill box

I think if you remove the lower corner tile between box 3 and 4, you can leverage to use a sweeper outside of a box to pick the small sulfur balls within box 4. Then you can use a auto dispenser, with a timer you can save bunch of power, in exchange of larger module sizes.

By making that sweeper verticle, keep central block vacuum (no heat exchange with sulfur), soaked the lower part in some liquid (remove heat produced by itself).

@Stardown
Thanks! I'm glad that everything is now working according to plan.

@Antigone Thanks for the heads up. I had the valves set properly but they hadn't been toggled by the dupes. Guess I built too fast. Amazing design works perfectly now.

@Stardown
This can actually only happen if one of the valves is set to over 1000g and/or if the pipelines meet before the outlet. Can you rule out both scenarios?

[Stardown]

@Antigone This tamer looks the best of all the ones I've seen. I've tried building it in 3 different games and in the first one it worked flawlessly. Just started a new game and now the sulfur solidifies in the pipes and break them. What am I doing wrong?

@Flare Thank you :)

Very nice setup ngl!

@Trivium: you're welcome :D
