Part of A Noob Plays Stationeers Brutal Mars.
Stationeers Brutal on Mars, episode 41. I finally finish the bigger 5x5 landing pad, which brings in a food trader and a seed trader. Then it’s back to cooling my steam-to-water setup, with a heat exchanger, some powered vent experiments and a pipe pressure reading that got a bit too close for comfort. I switch to an AC with a sealed waste loop and radiator, and it does start cooling, just slowly. By the end I’m still asking whether I’m using it right.
Stationeers Brutal water cooling should be simple. A heat exchanger, an AC and one nearly bursting pipe suggest I still have homework.
The Mars base finally gets its 5x5 landing pad, opening the door to food and seed traders. Then I return to the steam-to-water setup and discover that getting the heat out is a whole project of its own.
There are powered-vent experiments, a pressure scare, more wheat and a cereal bar stockpile while the cooling loop gets another rethink. A sealed waste loop and radiator get the AC making progress, but it is slow. By the end, I am still asking whether I am using it right.
Where would you start fixing this cooling setup: waste heat, loop pressure or radiator capacity?
