Part of A Noob Plays Stationeers Brutal Mars.
Stationeers Brutal on Mars, episode 40. I set out to cool my steam-to-water setup, print the wrong part, and end up back at the furnace making way more solder than I ever meant to. Then it’s liquid radiators and a volume pump at the condensation chamber, and buying more steam leads to a pipe problem and a purge and rebuild. I get the water running again, and I may have spent a little too long on this project.
Stationeers Brutal turns steam into water, then turns a pipe problem into another rebuild. Apparently, two liters counts as progress.
I set out to improve the water cooling, but printing the wrong part sends me back to the furnace. Somewhere along the way, the steel job becomes far more solder than I meant to make.
Back at the condensation chamber, liquid radiators and a volume pump help me experiment with the steam-to-water setup. Buying more steam brings more pressure worries, a pipe mishap, and a purge-and-rebuild detour. I get water production going again, but cooling and throughput still need work.
There is time for ice sales, food storage, and more traders while the water slowly catches up. By the end, I am adding buffer volume and admitting that I may have spent a little too long on this project.

What would you change first in this water setup: cooling, steam delivery, or pressure control? Tell me where the next noob mistake is hiding.
