Hi everyone, firstoff: I freaking love this game (and the concept of autosaves)!

Basically… part of my base blew up and I don’t really know why. The involved setup is a furnace that feeds its output gases to 2 filtration units that filter out pollutant and co2 respectively. The pollutant and co2 are then stored in portable tanks. The waste is discarded into the

After the incident I loaded up earlier saves to try and analyse the root cause. After a couple of ideas my main thought is that the pollutant tank became too hot (500 celsius). After replaying it a couple of times, it seems to explode in this temperature region.

Now I have a couple of questions:

• could that indeed be the cause of the explosion? I didn’t find any temperature thresholds online or in the stationpedia.
• how do you typically investigate these kind of incidents?
• what kind of preventive safety measures do you build into your bases?

Thanks in advance!
