After much testing, I can confirm that this works infinitely better as a 1x1 square! Much easier to balance and also runs a lot more consistently. Using only 1 active vent is also handy if you find the atmosphere is draining too quickly.
I think some of the jankiness when not confined to a single square was a combination of the gas sensor being too near the active vent and the working area being so small (yet more than 1). A longer 'buffer' of pipes after the regulator/pump would maybe help stabilize the changes some, and moving the gas sensor further away from either vent would also help the logic operate a bit more smoothly. But I think keeping it shoved into a 1x1x1 is the better choice.
Is this also "Phase Change Update" approved?
I would on the contrary advice bigger mass, I would probably put a tank to store gas at the desired temperature and pressure or have a bigger room, to have a more stable number, in the video pressure and temperature jump way to quickly.
@@ShaneCourtrille Nope, i f u look at his volumepumps, they can pump more then 10L, so its an old game version ^^
Really good to see the logic chips getting some use in this game, lol :)
Think they need a buff to give them a competitive balance to the IC chip, as often find the difficulty in laying them out and finding space, is easier to just go straight to IC
Would love if the devs gave us a bread board component to stack chips on and save space and allow some portability.
That is such a great idea. Like the IC housing but for miniaturised chips.
@@LargelyUnemployed need someone with some swing to nudge the devs is that direction :)
home batteries sound fancy, wish I could play games during a blackout lmao. love this style of tutorial from you, definitely think you should continue this type of video along with the traditional style you've been doing.
Thank you! Unfortunately, it's pretty much a requirement here in SA. We get daily scheduled blackouts!
Yeah power here sucks. It's got better we're not having weekly blackouts anymore (a year later)
even though i dont think ill ever really get to that point in the game, this tutorial itself is really well written & executed, all of the points you make are clear and concise, even i, someone who barely ever plays stationeers, understood everything
Thank you so much!
Might be worth noting that there's a localization difference between "1,300" and "1.300" and the like. I'm not sure what makes the game switch between the two, it might be following your language setting in Windows. In my game, it definitely uses a dot for decimal and a comma for separation. I was very confused in an earlier video where you noted your oxygen was cold, when it looked (to me) like it was over a thousand degrees, lol
That's really interesting. I'm in South Africa (we definitely do not typically use commas for decimals) but we often get lumped in with European localisations, most of which use the comma.
finally someone makes good tutorials for this games big thanks
Great watch, glad to see edited Stationeers videos for once. Though I can't resist to mention all of the logic can be done with a single IC chip, truly something you cannot live without once learned 😅
Thanks. The tutorial was designed for *absolute beginners*. IC coding is not as intuitive as the chips when you're just starting
video is very well narrated and explains the thing so well!
Thank you!
you can set external pressure on the active vents and keep them on constantly, then you don't need the coolant pressure regulator
Awesome explanation video on the mechanics of the gas generator! going to use this set up as a base line idea for writing a script ran set up for my world!
Glad it was helpful!
The edit at 16:52 was too much fun not to reuse, #sorrynotsorry
I use 3 Active vents, 2 blowing inward and 1 outward conected to a gas tank above 100 kp and It maintain 100 kp in the gás Chamber, no need for back pressure regulators.
This is a really good system!
Wanted to keep things as simple as I could though.
thanks dad, for the tutorial
you best, i love you🥰
Those misaligned temperature and pressure consoles had me screaming. OMG
Considering the main breaker for the entire operation is just one switch, would it not be feasible to set up a logic reader and compare to check the fullness of station batteries and trigger the generator when they empty out? Might remove the need to babysit the set-up at that point, since it would only be running in bursts.
Yessir, will be doing that in the next one. Wanted to keep this tutorial as basic as possible.
You could even work out the charge level and use it to tweak the fuel input pressure regulator, to throttle fuel use based on power deficit.
@@LargelyUnemployed The main challenge here would be setting up the deadband or some sort of P(ID) control logic, although you could also use logic gates to just set the gfg as lowest priority and to only run when battery is below X whereas solar/etc would have a higher input priority.
Hello! I'm curious, how well does this work after the condensation/evaporation update? Thank you for the video!
I haven't been able to play since the update but from what others have said it still seems to function. You just can't cool the gas down as much or it'll liquify!
By keeping the pressure as low as you can, you dramatically increase the fluctuations in temperature as there's just not much matter to heat and cool, wouldn't it be much more stable at higher pressures?
The windows have a a very low pressure tolerance, around ~150kpa. Higher pressures would be stable, but not for very long 😉
@Largely Unemployed Have you thought about IC10 coding the system? instead of flooding your base with logic IO`s
*for absolute beginners*
Watch this man forget and blow up everything.
Think of the content 🤩
@@LargelyUnemployed Ah yes. The harsh fight for survival as your entire base gets damaged and destroyed :D
They made a change and you cannot use a comma on the flow valve, is there a work around for this by chance?
Unfortunately I'm not sure. Haven't touched the game in almost a year.
What sucks about this game is this tutorial will probably be obsolete in a few more months. The game is fun but them changing major systems is not so fun. Now to watch this video and see another creative design? Let's go!!
I think it's already obsolete. The atmospherics update was a huge change
@@LargelyUnemployed Bummer! I liked this more simple design.
Think of the other accidents Largely can make in up coming vids
Btw you in the west coast when power flickered
South Africa! 🤣🌍
wouldn't it be simpler use pump with back-pressure regulator?
The back pressure regulator is way, waaaay too slow. You'd over pressurise and blow the windows!
@@LargelyUnemployed I see, then how about two pumps, one in one out and use single batch-writer to write to both of them and as for the logic do (current_temp - desired_temp) and write the result to "setting" parameter of the pumps
the pressure should theoretically remain the same, but maybe add both pressure and back-pressure regulators as a failsafe
I'm not a big fan of snappy systems, so I'm trying to improve on that KEKW
Hipotetically. If i give it like 70 KPA of fuel the second. Is it a bomb or a space gas Chernobyl?
Definitely more of a bomb 😂😂💣
Use PID but good luck with logic chips instead of IC...
Can you imagine 😳
@@LargelyUnemployed You'd probably need a whole GFG just to power the chips!
*Promosm* 👍
Great video! One thing though ... you have 4 logic readers behind the APC, 2 which are reading the temperature and 2 which are reading the pressure all from the same Gas sensor. You could get rid of 2 of them really :)
I do? Where are the extras?
@@LargelyUnemployed omg 🤦♂ nevermind :) I totally had a brain fart lol ;) I was thinking of the green I/O modules on the floor, but they're for the power generation display. the displays pull the data directly from the sensor :D
Phew, I was racking my brain to try and figure out where they might have snuck in 🤣
