Water

Water

Specific heat	72 Joule / mol

Description

You can obtain water by smelting or crushing Ice (Water) using a Furnace or an Ice Crusher. Water is critical for plants to stay alive, and grow food.
It is also an exceptional coolant with a very high specific heat capacity. Water will evaporate into Steam if it's temperature is raised above its boiling point.

Usage

Water needs to be consumed by the player in order to stay alive. Water can only be consumed from a Water Bottle, which can be filled using a Water Bottle Filler

It is also used to grow plants in a Hydroponic Tray or a Hydroponic Station. Water pollution occurs as a byproduct of using specific devices, resulting in Polluted Water.

Water has a specific heat of 72 J/K making it great for cooling.

At boiling temperature 373K (100C) at 100kPa it becomes Steam

Sources

You can obtain water by smelting or crushing Ice (Water) using a Furnace or an Ice Crusher, or by combusting Volatiles and Oxygen using the Kit (Atmospherics) H2 Combustor. Filtering is no longer required as the Furnace and Ice Crusher now contain separate outputs for liquids and gasses.

Source	Amount
Ice (Water)	20 mol

History

Water was previously treated as a Gas. It could be part of the atmosphere, and could be stored in gas tanks and pipes. However, since with "Go with the flow" update, a new system for liquids has been introduced, including separate pipes, tanks, pumps, etc for liquids.
