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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

you can set external pressure on the active vents and keep them on constantly, then you don't need the coolant pressure regulator

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

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.

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.

@LargelyUnemployed

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?

@LargelyUnemployed

The windows have a a very low pressure tolerance, around ~150kpa. Higher pressures would be stable, but not for very long 😉

@@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
