High Pressure Applications
Mastering Extreme Pressures in Oxygen Not Included
Building advanced industrial complexes in Oxygen Not Included presents unique challenges, especially when dealing with volatile gases and liquids at extreme pressures. The High Pressure Applications mod introduces a suite of new buildings and mechanics designed to help you manage and exploit these high-pressure environments, opening up new possibilities for efficient resource management and complex automation.
Expanding Your Plumbing and Gas Management
This mod focuses on enhancing the existing infrastructure for transporting fluids and gases. It introduces entirely new sets of pipes, bridges, valves, and pumps specifically engineered for high-pressure applications. These new components operate independently of the standard pipes, allowing you to create separate, high-capacity networks without altering the fundamental behavior of your existing systems.
Key Features of High Pressure Applications:
- Dedicated High-Pressure Pipes: Transport greater volumes of gases and liquids with specialized pipe systems.
- New Building Options: Utilize Decompressing Valves to safely release high-pressure contents and High Pressure Pumps to efficiently move them.
- Integrated System Updates: Existing buildings like Conduit Teleporters and Rocketry Ports have been updated to seamlessly integrate with the maximum capacities of these new high-pressure pipes.
- Configurable Options: An in-game mod menu allows for detailed configuration of pipe capacities and their impact on associated equipment, including power consumption.
Strategic Implementation
Effectively using the High Pressure Applications mod requires careful planning. The mod provides visual cues and information within the game to guide proper usage, highlighting optimal configurations and potential pitfalls. Understanding how these new components interact with your base’s overall design is crucial for success. The increased capacity offered by these specialized pipes can significantly streamline operations, from large-scale resource extraction to complex industrial processing, allowing for more compact and powerful infrastructure designs.
Understanding Limitations and Best Practices
While the mod offers enhanced capabilities, it also emphasizes the importance of correct implementation. The developers provide clear examples of how to best utilize the high-pressure systems, ensuring that duplicants can operate safely and efficiently. Pay close attention to the recommended building practices to avoid any unintended consequences and maximize the benefits of these powerful new tools.
