You make it look so simple! Absolutely loved it!

This tutorial was on my wish list. Thank you for making it easy to replicate without adding anything complicated.

Regarding solid hydrogen forming in your hydrogen freezer part: there's a way to regulate temperature of the coolant down to 0.1 C. Just put liquid storage behind the aquatuner and regulate for temperature of the liquid going out of it. It does not have to be full, a few hundred kg of supercoolant in it is enough, that way the 14 C of cooling by the aquatuner gets spread over whole contents of the storage and causes only slight change in output temperature. May be only necessary for perfectionists who don't like messy designs, though :)

Alternatively, cool it down to a higher-than-needed temperature that is close to the target temperature, and then once the cooling's evened out that first time, set it down to the actual target temperature.

Great tutorial! thanks! One suggestion: Since you built your fuel system in space, you dont actually need the layer of polluted water at all. Just put 20-50 kilos/tile of water, and seal it off. Space will keep any gas out while you work on it. The Aquatuner can then make only steam and no dirt :)

The second type of water in steam room was unnecessary. Usually it's done to push out any gases that are around, but since we're in space simply one layer of about 100kg of clean water would do the thing.

You can get a much more stable coolant temperature if you output the aquatuner directly into a liquid reservoir with a couple hundred kilos in it and put your thermo sensor on the output of the liquid reservoir. Then your coolant loop fluctuates by only a few degrees above and below your target temperature.

Seems like just to the reservoir the aquatuner just keeps running until max causing the hydrogen to freeze, and then when i connected it it still continued to run.

@@Babyjoker2222 none of the above. You still connect the automation to the aquatuner. You're just measuring the temperature from the reservoir output.

Great set up! I haven't done Liquid H2 since the spaced out DLC haha, this has me keen to give it another crack!

OVERLAYS AT THE BEGINNINGS NG OF THE VIDEO! Awesome.

The difference between insulated pipes and regular pioes is how thermal conductivity is calculated. With regular pipes you calculate the average of the two items. So it would be half of liquid hydrogen. Same with heat feom outside the pipe(if you didnt stop the loops when rockets leave or come back). With insulated pipes the lower thermal conductivity is used. So with insulated pipes made with insulation thermal conductivity is 0, with ceramic its really small

great tutorial mate!

Thank you.

Love the actual tank part, my preference for cooling the steam turbines is a powerless loop of hydrogen in a gas pip looping through window tiles along one side of the oxygen tank and behind the turbines massive thermal mass to hold the temp and it doesn't effect the cooling of the oxygen at any point either, excellent work though. Have you tried the trick with piping through bridges with 1 pipe segment between them to save on pipe costs?

This is amazing, I feel like the creation of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen is the final boss of the game, you need to apply everything you've learn to make such contraption work.

Great video, love your content, sub smashed

Like meany have pointed out using a buffer tank helps evening out the temperature and you don't get spikes in it. It was also pointed out that normal pipes of insulation will change temperature as it is an avarage between the thermal conductivity of the pipe and liquid. Think Francis john explained the math it in one of his videos. Areas in space you don't get rocket exhaust to (insulated wall on the side of the rocket) you can use radiant pipes in, as they instantly cool down as most have a low specific heat capacity.

A trick I used, was to pre-cool the hydrogen to -255 via the gas version of the aquatuner. I also had a full tanks of super-coolant after the aquatuner and used the thermo sensor on its exit. The more super-coolant the more stable it is. I got the hydrogen to be -261.5 Then, whenever I had both enough of it to fill the chamber, AND it was colder than -261, it was pumped through the pipe system fueling the rockets and was then lead back to the hydrogen chamber. Even when no rocket needed fuel. That cooled all the pipes to -260 too, so the pipes no longer sucked chill out of it. That way, I could run it longer and longer, even before getting insulation.

They made supercoolant way harder to make. Now I have to go find a graphite asteroid and ship it over, along with sulfer and aluminum. It's definitely late game stuff

20:18 i realized this since the beginning and i was that positive thinking that you might be have a good explanation with that, but it's not. and it's hilarious.

Just recently been hooked on this game, so just wanted to know what material is best suited for high heat capacity buildings, tiles, liquid and gas conduits? I've only basically been using copper, granite, mafic and igneous so far.

Hydrogen at -254 you get less of it freezing. Still turns in the liquid. Just keeps it from freezing up.

Chekking in again. Oh did stil not tested the food whit the bufs always late ad home. Greatings

Hey ERG! A little noob over here but with the SPOM wouldnt building airflow tiles vent the gases into space? As you can't build drywalls behind it.

I am working on automation so when the rocket lands it turns on the pumps. Then when over flow is detected it turns the pumps back off. Nice since they added the automation sensors on the landing pad.

I feel you brother. Almost 300 hours for me, and not a single dupe in space yet. And also, most of my colonies died out on me.

Hello! Why to use isolated pipes in space ? There is no loose of heat as there is nothing in the environement. Isn't it ?

How much steam / water do you need per tile for this? Also what are the atmo sensors in the bottom room set to? I made two of them, 1 instantly stabilized and the 2nd is no where near stabilizing after many cycles.

I get the need for the waste into space but I can't help seeing that and wanting to store a bunch of it for later just in case because I hoard resources in all games lol. I wonder if it would be doable though to have a usable stash of o2 or H via the overflows that you could use elsewhere or if it would mess something up.

This will come in handy soon! Im going to start playing on a better computer that will actually manage several planteiods and space travel. My current does not. One thing I was wondering tho, would you consider using the excess hydrogen in a generator instead of venting it? It could feed some energy back to the net.

@EchoRidgeGaming

You definitely could do this, but, by the time it is running fully, there will not be any excess hydrogen.

You _say_ that insulated pipes inside insulated tiles prevent heat transfer, but for some reason my l.ox build just seems to transfer surprising amounts between the insulated pipes and the l.ox, and running them through insulated tiles just made it worse; five tiles would see the l.ox jump nearly one hundred degrees. Rather annoying. =_=

But aren't you in vacuum? what are the pipes gonna exhance heat with and they need to be made with ceramic and stuff

I don’t think you needed to break into the hydrogen side at all, with the disconnect tool you could have disconnected the pipe and built one more then connected them again

Watfching anyone vent gas into space hurts me a little inside. I always use singularity tanks but I know a lot of people see that as an exploit.
