| β | Once you have the supplies, use the | + | Once you have the supplies, use the autolathe to build your electronics printer and hydraulic pipe bender. The electronics printer can print out extra cables as you need them, extra batteries to add a buffer to your power setup, extra solar panels for power generation, and a variety of other tools and supplies. The pipe bender allows us to handle atmospherics and liquids. We can now partly build our water setup. At this point, it will be useful to complete the in-game '''Hydroponics, Hydration + Food''' tutorial to understand our next steps. |
| β | + | After our prep work, we can print an ice crusher, a [[Portable Tank|portable tank]](Liquid), a [[Tank Connector|tank connector]], a [[Water Bottle Filler|water bottle filler]] and the [[Kit (Liquid Pipe)|liquid pipes]] needed to plumb it all together. Go ahead and set these up on your base, connecting the bottom pipe on the back of the ice crusher with liquid pipes to your tank connector. Afterwards, hook up your water bottle filler to the pipe network, though note that you might need to place the filler on the side of a constructed iron frame (known as a structural wall as opposed to a normal iron wall). Finally, we can place a water bottle onto our filler, place ice into our ice crusher, turn on the crusher, and refill our old water bottles! | |
If the bottles are not filling, it's usually one of two issues: either the water is too cold, or the water bottle filler is not turned on. For the latter, make sure that the water bottle filler is connected to power and that the power switch on the filler itself has been flipped on. For the former, hover the cursor over the filler. You may get an error in red text, something like "Water must be 0-100". This is because ice generally struggles to flow through pipes. To dramatically lower the viscosity of your water, hook up a liquid heater over one of the pipes, hook it up to power, and turn it on. You can use your tablet with the [[Cartridge|atmos analyzer cartridge]] on the pipe to measure the current temperature of the water. Be careful, because the pipe heater draws a significant amount of power! Once you have the temp of the pipe over 0 degrees your water bottles should now fill with water. | If the bottles are not filling, it's usually one of two issues: either the water is too cold, or the water bottle filler is not turned on.
