Wastepack atomizer

Wastepack atomizer

A glittertech device that deconstructs toxic wastepacks into inert gases using advanced moecular proccesses.
The process requires considerable amounts of power.

The wastepack atomizer destroys toxic wastepacks, preventing the spread of pollution, and reducing the need for freezer storage dedicated to waste storage.

Acquisition

Wastepack atomizers can be constructed once the Wastepack atomizer research project, which requires studying a nano structuring chip, has been completed. Each requires Steel 200 Steel, Plasteel 50 Plasteel, Nano structuring chip 1 Nano structuring chips, 30,000 ticks (8.33 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 8.

Summary

Wastepack atomizers use 800 W of power. Atomizers hold up to 10 wastepacks, equivalent to two stacks. A single wastepack is destroyed every 30,000 ticks (8.33 mins) or 12 in-game hours inside a powered atomizer. Pawns only reload the Atomizer with full stacks of Wastepacks, or once every 2.5 days.

Analysis

Mechanoids actively working consume 10% of their energy budget per day. Mechs not working consume 3% per day. By default, Mechanoids attempt to recharge starting when their energy hits 5% remaining, until their energy reaches 100%, which takes 2 days. At the end of recharging a number of wastepacks is created proportional to how much bandwidth a particular mechanoid uses. This means that a continuously working mech will create wastepacks roughly every 11.5 days.

The atomizer will destroy 23 wastepacks in 11.5 days. The table below shows how many mechanoids a single building will support per 11.5 day cycle. The table assumes a mechanoid is able to have 100% work uptime. Mechanoids without work, or mechanoids put in the dormant state will naturally last longer and thus produce less waste.


Mechanoids Wastepacks Produced per 11.5 day Cycle Number of Mechanoids Supported by a Single Wastepack Atomizer
Agrihand, Cleansweeper, Fabricor, Militor, Paramedic 5 4.6
Lancer, Legionary, Pikeman, Scorcher, Scyther 10 2.3
Tesseron, Tunneler 15 1.53
