Esteemed Turbines: Innovative Gas Processing for Oxygen Not Included
Bored with standard gas processing? The Esteemed Turbines mod injects fresh, strategic possibilities into your Oxygen Not Included colonies by introducing specialized turbines that transform hazardous or otherwise challenging gases into valuable resources. This mod offers a unique approach to resource management and temperature control, unlocking new pathways for your duplicants.
Harnessing the Power of Specialized Gases
Esteemed Turbines are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing systems, providing advanced solutions for gas management. Each turbine is unlocked through the Renewable Energy research, ensuring they are accessible as your colony grows and diversifies.
Naphtha Turbine: A Versatile Byproduct
The Naphtha Turbine offers an ingenious alternative for handling Sour Gas. Instead of merely venting or dealing with the high heat of Sour Gas, this turbine efficiently processes it, yielding Naphtha. This byproduct is incredibly useful for creating reliable liquid locks or can be channeled into advanced power generation systems, especially when paired with other custom content for enhanced petroleum generation.
Ethanol Turbine: Efficient Cooling and Resource Generation
For those looking to refine their cooling infrastructure, the Ethanol Turbine presents an elegant solution. It can be readily adapted to existing ethanol chilling setups. A key advantage is its colder output fluid, making it ideal for supporting a variety of sensitive flora and fauna. Consider using its chilled output for Pincha Pepper Plants, Slicksters, Dreckos, or Balm Lilies that require specific temperature ranges to thrive.
Magma Turbine: The Ultimate Thermal Challenge
The Magma Turbine is for the intrepid colony builder seeking a significant thermal challenge. Processing gases to output magma requires careful planning and potentially advanced materials like Spacer or Obsidian for heat management, especially when operating at peak efficiency. This turbine can be a powerful tool for managing the intense heat of geothermally active areas, such as a 5x geotuned volcano.
Enhanced Functionality with Liquimpellers
Building upon the core turbine concept, version 1.0.1 introduces Liquimpellers. These specialized units consume a fixed amount of power but offer a significant cooling capacity with a 20% heat deletion ratio. Liquimpellers excel at transforming gases like Hydrogen and Oxygen into their liquid states, opening up new possibilities for advanced cooling loops and resource storage.
Key features of the Esteemed Turbines mod include:
- Specialized gas-to-resource conversion turbines.
- Naphtha Turbine for Sour Gas processing.
- Ethanol Turbine for efficient cooling and specialized biome support.
- Magma Turbine for extreme heat management challenges.
- Liquimpellers for advanced gas liquefaction.
- All turbines unlocked via Renewable Energy research.
This mod provides exciting new ways to interact with and manage the challenging environments within Oxygen Not Included.
