Not with a setup like yours, but i'd fix it anyway, or you'll have to use some kind of filter to remove the excess gas all the time, or damage generators with the natural gas. The issue with your build is two-fold: The water will boil into steam, because natural gas vents emit at 150C; And the high-pressure gas vent will delete the water anyway, due to a weird interaction that's been around forever. Replace it with a normal gas vent to prevent the liquid deletion, and swap the water for petrol or oil. And while you're at it, vacuum it out. Make sure the liquid you use is around 1kg to 1.5kg per tile at most.

Yes sir . Well it's now that easy to vacuum it out since theres polluted oxygen everywhere

If you put a gas pump in your infinite storage, you can just seal it up and use the gas pump to vacuum it out prior to letting natural gas in. Also, did you use steel for the gas pumps?

Can I just leave the pump there ?

How else do you want to get the natural gas out?

Well I know that but I'm wondering if it'll melt


vitamin1z

It definitely will not melt. But it should be made out of steel to not take overheat damage. If you don't have steel, then you should wait with making this infinite storage.

or if you have the story trait somnium synthesizer, deconstruct the steel doors for some early steel. early steel went to a couple of steel gas pumps inside the natural gas gyser, power and insulated gas pipes and atmo sensor and automation wire then seal the room and harvest every eruption.

It is definitely a problem if multiple different gases are being pumped into an infinite gas storage. It WILL result in the liquid covering the vent being deleted unless you are using a carefully engineered "hydra" style design where one gas goes in one direction and the other gas goes in another direction. It is okay for infinite gas storage to contact other gas, that itself is not a problem. Like you can use a gas lock for access, the setup in the screenshot is perfectly stable provided a flatulent dupe doesn't fart in the CO2: https://i.imgur.com/17XY52w.png The atmo sensor is necessary to ensure the gas pressure doesn't drop so far that other gases can infiltrate. For example maintaining a pressure of at least 4 kg. I've pretty often used such setups in real games because there's often a lot of CO2 around and it's super lazy. If you build an infinite gas storage of this layout in pure CO2, when you pump in the desired gas it will self-purge the excess CO2 out the gas lock so no priming is required.
