Gas Valve
Output: Gas Output
Gas Valve control the amount of gas flowing through a Gas Pipe. Best usage after branching, or stopping gas without losing contents before deconstructing. Because it allows gas flow only one way, it can also be used to give the game a hint what flow direction the gas pipe is having, when the pipe grid is getting more complicated.
Flow
Gas Valve has a flow setting, ranging from 0 g/s to 1000 g/s. This setting is the upper limit of the output gas flow. For example, if the setting is set to 500 g/s and input flow is 1000 g/s, the output flow is limited to 500 g/s and excess gas is blocked. If the setting is set to 500 g/s and input flow is 300 g/s, the output flow is 300 g/s.
A valid flow setting is rounded the first decimal place and has the following limits:
- the minimum flow is 0 g/s;
- the maximum flow is 1000 g/s;
- the minimum, nonzero flow is 0.1 g/s (100 mg/s).
Switching the flow setting of Gas Valve requires Duplicant operation, and takes some time.
