In this episode of Oxygen Not Included Outbreak I try to use the Thermo Aquatuner to boil polluted water to create clean water. See below for other highlights:

I put the thermo aquatuner in a small tank of polluted water and then pump polluted water into the thermo aquatuner. This causes it to heat up a LOT! It overheats at 175C (if made out of gold) and completely melts at around 600C. The boiled polluted water generates dirt and steam. I capture the steam using air flow tiles above the tank. It them dribbles down into a clean water tank.

The more water you flow into the thermo aquatuner the hotter it will get. So use a liquid valve to step up the amount of water until you get the right temperature. Also, make sure all the polluted water does not boil (which happens at 119.4 C) or your thermo aquatuner will melt down quickly.

You need to use heavy watt wire to power the thermo aquatuner because it requires 1200 watts. I used 3-4 coal generators initially to power it and later my main power plant which was natural gas generators.

I don't think I would use this system long term to cool water or boil polluted water. It's very energy intensive and hard to dial in just right. I would prefer to use wheezeworts and cold biomes for cooling and lava for boiling polluted water. Since there is tons of sand, you can also just filter polluted water if needed.

One other point, each map starts with 2 natural gas geysers, 1 chlorine geyser and 2 steam geysers at this point. That may change.

12:06 See it make steam
18:43 Watch it meltdown completely (oops)
19:07 It made GOLD when it overheated out of gold amalgam.
21:04 Using hatches to make coal quickly

From the Klei update forums:

=== FARMING ===

Continuing on the heels of the Agricultural Upgrade, Oxygen Not Included's farming system has continued to receive new content and development. In particular, the Harvest Point system has now been reworked into the "Requirement" system, to simplify the process of growing of crops.

=Key Features=

-New Plants and Recipes: The addition of new Dusk Caps means more delicious dishes to cook... like Fried Mushrooms!

-New Requirements: Plants now have a wider range of conditions they require to grow, such as pressure and light. Some plants prefer to have a strong light source, while others enjoy soothing darkness. Plants will either grow if you've met all of their requirements (yay!) or won't if you haven't (aw!).

-Harvest Rating Points Retired: Plants will no longer gain Harvest Rating points or have their yields altered by a rating.

-New Overlay: Enter the Farming Overlay to see how your crops are progressing, and batch harvest them with ease when they reach maturation.


=== DISEASE ===

Oxygen Not Included has received an all new disease system, complete with new illnesses, attributes, overlays and more. These additions should make disease a challenging obstacle for Duplicants to overcome as they try to maintain the strength of their immune systems in a world teeming with disease.

=Key Features=

Germs: They're everywhere! New concentrations of disease in the world can be spread via touch, ingestion, breathing, sneezing, coughing, vomiting and more. Germs also react dynamically to their environment, multiplying in the conditions they like and dying off in the ones they don't.

New Overlay: Keep tabs on the contamination levels in your colony and see which Duplicants are secretly hosting hidden germs by entering the new Germ Overlay.

New Immunity Attribute: All Duplicants have received a new attribute, "Immunity", which determines the strength of their Immune System. Immune Systems are the first and last defense against germs, so the stronger, the better!

Medical Aid: Duplicants may now assist their sick peers by doctoring them while they lay in Med-Beds. Duplicants with high Medicine skill will find that aiding the sick comes more naturally to them, and aided Duplicants will recover faster from their various afflictions.

Improved Diseases: Food Poisoning has received a revamp, and Slimelung has been introduced to the game. You'd better put your Duplicants on bedrest if you don't want them coughing up clouds of airborne germs - that's just gross!

New Germ-Related Buildings: Contaminated resources can be sanitized in the new Ore Scrubber, while Wash Basins can be placed by your colony's bathrooms to encourage hand washing and good Duplicant hygiene. Germs can spread faster than you'd expect, and you'll be grateful for the preventative measures.
