Hacking a volcano, the big variant

These schemes are based on the same principle as in the previous article: the melting of less heat-intensive regolith, in magma. After that, its thermal energy increases by 5 times.

Unlike the previous article, in this scheme, the regolith fed into the volcano is preheated with igneous rock (having a temperature of about 1400°C), which gives an even greater gain in the efficiency of the scheme.

Two schemes will be considered: for 12 turbines and 24. This article does not replace the previous one, as more complex and costly (in materials and time) schemes are proposed here. I would recommend starting with the previous article as I don't know where so much energy can be spent.

12 turbines
The circuit consists of 3 chambers: with volcano, with turbines, and (added) a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger consists of steel doors. With a little more efficiency, Metal tile of thermium can be applied.

Automation

 * Thermosensor (at the volcano) >1420°C
 * Weight plate >10kg
 * Buffer - 5,5 sec.
 * Thermosensor (under turbine) <200°C
 * Tube thermosensor >91°C

Materials



 * Door, Mesh tile - tungsten.
 * Perimeter tiles, heat pipes - ceramic. Top over the volcano and turbines can be made of mafic rock.
 * Tiles, Conveyors, Weight plate, Automation at the volcano - steel.
 * Tiles, between Weight plate and diamond cage - igneous rock.
 * The tiles next to each other are mafic rock.
 * The tiles under the mesh are diamond.
 * The tiles under the turbines can be swapped for copper.
 * Other pipes, conveyors, wires, etc. - copper/gold.
 * Steam - 400kg/cage.
 * Volcano and between doors - vacuum.
 * Thermo aquatuner circuit is super coolant. You could use water, but you'd need 3 times as much Thermo Aquatuner.

24 turbines


It's the same as the one above. For both schemes (and for this one even more so), the following must be kept in mind:


 * Regolith must be fed hot enough (especially for 24 turbines). The schemes were tested at its temperature of 250°C.
 * Turbines must be switched off by the smart battery - otherwise the magma and/or regolith energy may simply not be enough.
 * These schemes take a very long time to reach full power - a lot of magma must spill, the doors and water under the turbines must warm up, etc.

All three schemes are not suitable for beginner or even mid-game. But if you need a huge colony (50, 100, or more duplicates), these schemes are a godsend.
