TAMING METAL VOLCANOES V3.0: A German Engineer explains ONI

Awesome. Thank you!

Is there a good tutorial for producing cool igneous from regular/minor volcanoes in a similar setup as this?

Excellent and compact design! Only thing I would add is for copper and cobalt volcanoes. If they output more than 9kg/sec per eruption it requires a lot more steam than some other designs. I've found that anything under 30kg of steam per tile leads to some minor damage in the autosweeper and conveyor loader. Otherwise, everything works perfectly. Add in a battery or two to capture the excess energy created by the turbines, and this design self powered once the coolant reaches the proper temperature.

Bro i made auto sweeper with still but it is damaging by heat 😢

Any idea why sometimes a chunk of 10kg of igneous rock is popping out for me, rather than the usual 3000g? Happens every so often.

Wow, an ONI guide that isn't years old AND actually explains it! Greatly appreciated.

I added a bridge right behind the sweeper and it solved the problem of metal getting sent out when the conveyer is full

Funny, how overly complicated builds people use while I've copied very old design from Tony Advanced, tweaked a little and thx to that i am able to tame all geysers with one turbine and compact contraption 10*11 tiles (geyser included) :-)

How much water do you need to add to this system initially? Great vid btw!

Really enjoy your 'explained' series. Keep them coming please. I guess the final stage of cooling could also be used for standard magma volcanoes too?

Do a geothermal energy tamer next

!

i just use a conveyor meter with 5kg packet size and 8 metal tiles before the shutoff - no loop. If the metal comes out to hot i reduce the packet size to 4 or 3kg. (depends on the volcano type and output rate)

and they still say you have to ace calculus to do something useful....

If the line fills up it will force an overflow of hot material out I feel you should only allow cooled materials out.

nice design! Only little problem I see is if you lose power on the solid shutoff for whatever reason, you send burning hot metal on your metal tiles and may boil Pwater in the pipe. Maybe there's a way to install it in a way that without power you keep metal in the steam chamber...

Bro just what i needed... I literally thought it was a old video. Much love

Great job Bier, I've been shamelessly using your V2 without any complaints whatsoever. Works like a charm. Gotta say though, I definitely want to try V3, she's a beauty. Now I have project to work in this evening. Thank you!

As always, great build! I would add: 1) Conv bridge from loader to the main loop, conv bridge in the main loop to be sure that flow direction is set. (Was there a bug with mgs of material on conv rails? Bridge on the loader side should just merge packets) 2) For the material exit, I would just submerge conv temp sensor and shutoff in any liquid. Set to 30C. (Is it still a thing, that after building stuff temp is set to 30C no matter the temp of material before?)

Maybe you can adjust the conveyor meter settings to have higher or lower quantity to always reach around 20C, some materials that leaves at 0C can have the temperature slightly increased by just having 4kg or 5kg on the conveyor meter. However, this is just nitpicking, the way it is now is great.

personally i'm more of a fan of having a thin layer of fluid (for heat exchange with the cooling) and a vacuum for the steam turbines room

i think the 4 tiles cooling looks nicer since they match the 4 tiles of neutronium from the volcano

You can probably add some liquid on the turbines :) I found out that turbines in liquid perform a tad betted

Be careful with the rails behind the volcano. If the background is isolated, it can happen that the rails reach the melting point

I use meters for just about everything else. Why didn't I think of using the conveyor meter for this. It's just so simple and perfect
