Overview

A chemical bath is used to treat metal.

Source

This building becomes available after you have learned the Basic Metal Treatment tech.

Cost

Built in a Compound. Uses 16x30 cells.

Use

The bath must be filled with 100 Acid before it can be used. Most folks would consider making 100 Acid non-trivial. So, you don't want to lose it. The menu choice "Empty the Bath" will dump the Acid, and it will be lost. You could then take whatever metal is in the bath, but you'll need to refill the bath with Acid before you can make a new batch.

Preferably, though, you have Tongs. If you do, after treating your metal, use the menu choice "Take Everything". That will preserve the Acid and put the treated metal in your inventory.

Can treat up to 100 metal at a time.

Metal Salt Contamination

When you use Salts of Metal to plate a metal, you contaminate your acid (note that you do not contaminate your acid if you use Salts of Metal to increase purity; presumably all the salts are deposited on the work piece in that case). If your acid is contaminated with one kind of metal, it prevents you from plating with a different kind. There are two solutions for this problem. One option is to have multiple Chemical Baths, one for each kind of plating you need to do (expensive), OR you can very easily clean up your acid after you plate a batch of metal (cheap). Note: do the cleanup right after the treatment as the key is knowing how many seconds of treatment was done.

  • Use 1 db of a different metal and treat it with the same number of seconds as the original treatment with any salt other than the original salt and other than a salt of the metal that you are using to clean the acid.
  • After the treatment, the tank should be salt neutral and should not be listed as having any salt in it.
  • Remove the 1 db of metal and you should now have a "Salt-free" tank.

For example, your plating treatment was 20 seconds of Salts of Gold. To clean the acid, add 1 db of any metal other than gold, such as copper. Treat the copper with 20 seconds of any salt that isn't gold or copper, such as Salts of Iron.
