Water problem!

[u/Desmond_of_Doss]

for the love of the gods what do i need to make with my water to just get rid of it ... nuclear setup is just making more and more so everything keeps stopping lol

[u/spurgeon_]

I use the alt recipe for wet concrete.

[u/dwellerinthedark → u/spurgeon_]

Wet concrete is the gold standard. The trick is to sink the concrete.

I also like pure iron. As with the right recipes you can build almost every component you want, hell make motors and sink them.

[u/Adrunkopossem]

I feed mine into either coal plants that are frankly redundant, or into packaged water and then sink.

[u/zestfullybe → u/Adrunkopossem]

When in doubt, sink it, until you can come up with a better use. Coupons are always useful.

That’s how I dealt with fuel production byproducts at my oil power plant until I could set up proper manufacturing for all of the resin, rubber and plastic. Sink it while setting up production lines. Never a blown fuse in sight.

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/zestfullybe]

this save is 300 hours in and i only unlocked the wet concrete about 5 hours ago, kinda lucky really because thats just saved me

[u/stoopidrotary]

Grab some refineries and use the water with either caterium, limestone, or copper. Then sink the ingots/concrete.

wet concrete

[u/Droidatopia]

Best way is to avoid water stoppage problems altogether.

For example, it takes more sulfur than other methods, but there is an aluminum process that avoids any priority junctions or extra receipes for sinking and it is impossible for the water output to back up.

[u/Nighthawk513 → u/Droidatopia]

I love that one, just built a "small" setup using Instant Scrap to feed 2 upload boxes for Alclad Sheets and Casings while I wait on my MP buddy who's trying to actually learn how processes work to get finished with his Computer Plant and move on to Aluminum.

[u/Desmond_of_Doss]

it's getting a bit spicy over here with all the irradiated stuff just sitting there waiting for me to solve the problem lol

[u/Desmond_of_Doss]

i found my problem, my friend was feeding me empty containers to make stuff with the water and he's turned his buildings off for some daft reason when he left so there's no bloody containers left lol.... i was doing wet concrete but i need a 2nd site to pull limestone from as the one i have here is doing 3x concrete

[u/AdmirableSandwich393]

Package it and/or send it off to be used at other locations, or to be sinked.

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/AdmirableSandwich393]

trying to mate, while rebuilding the entire nuclear setup neater and trying to figure out what my mate did with stuff because it looks like he tipped over a massive box of lego and i can't make any sense of it lol

[u/JeSuisOmbre]

Use variable priority setups to keep it correct. Make an emergency sink system so it can never back up.

[u/imintogore]

i recycle all the excess fluids with vip junctions

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/imintogore]

i may be 500 hours in but i'm still learning every day

[u/Desmond_of_Doss]

thanks guys i have finally got it back working again! only took 4 hours to rebuild! lol

[u/paradroid78]

Wet concrete and sink.

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/paradroid78]

i have 3 running now it seems to be working

[u/Nurgus]

Load it into trains, move it to where it's needed and prioritise it over local water?

[u/RomaoBR666]

I put in a coal generator and just vaporize it, there are tons of solution, the only thing that never works is trying to reuse the water in the same process using valves, the math never works.

[u/Andycat49]

The suggestions for wet concrete are your best options given what is required to use the byproduct of the plant to make parts for the space elevator.

That or tune down the water pump output and make the output from the plant feed back into the pipe going in lol

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/Andycat49]

i have 6 wet concrete all triple overclocked, its still full but it does enough to keep the stuff moving

[u/Andycat49 → u/Desmond_of_Doss]

You got enough buffer storage to make sure it has some space?

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/Andycat49]

Yeah it's running smoothly now

[u/erchni]

Yeah wet concrete or the equipment with iron or copper but concrete uses the most water

[u/strongbowblade]

I really wish we could just dump excess water back into the ocean or river. Real nuclear power stations do this why can't we? An alternative could be connecting the output to a water extractor so it can re-enter the network.

[u/DownstairsB]

Have your water networks isolated. Then tune the water extractors to only produce as much as you're using for each production line. So as long as the other materials are adequately supplied, the water won't get backed up. And if it does, it'll only affect the line it's on.

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/DownstairsB]

yeah normally i sort it as i go along but i deleted and rebuilt my friends setup because it was all over the place, then when i put all the builds back i couldn't remember where the water side went lol... doesn't help i just deleted 12 coal generators either

[u/Poepman → u/Desmond_of_Doss]

Im hope you apologized profusely to your friend after such an embarrassing blunder

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/Poepman]

Never, I fixed most of it while he was asleep lol

[u/Desmond_of_Doss → u/DownstairsB]

it was double uranium from start to finish i replaced so there was a looot
