Metal Volcanoes

Goal: self-powered Metal Volcano tamer outputting Refined Metal on conveyor rails
Author: Saturnus
Input: a Metal volcano (all except Niobium)
Output: debris of 126°C Refined Metal, Power

There are many ways to tame Metal Volcanoes: in a vacuum to remove the Steel requirement, by cooling the output down below 100°C, by using them to power a boiler…

That approach aims to be a dead simple self-powered build that does not cool its output below 126°C to 130°C (depending on your preference), since temperature is clamped when using the metal to build something.

There is also an hybrid ST cooling system: it uses self-cooling under 98°C and is assisted by an AT over that threshold. Note that the Pipe Thermo Sensor placement is deliberate: it’s a clever way to only cool 7 packets before resuming self-cooling.

The battery can be any battery type: Small or Jumbo batteries work as well.

My first game was Naughty Dog’s Crash Bandicoot (PlayStation) back in 1996. And since then gaming has been my main hobby. I turned my passion for gaming into a job by starting my first geek blog in 2009. When I’m not working on the site, I play mostly on my PlayStation. But I also love outdoor activities and especially skiing.
