Chthonicone Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 First off, what does SPOM stand for. I know what it is, but where did the acronym come from? Second, what are the mechanics that allow you to create a 100% uptime SPOM? How do you keep even one from becoming overpressure? I've seen designs for 100% uptime SPOMs but I haven't yet figured out how one keeps it from fully pressurizing it's room even from the start with 4 or more gas pumps right above and below it.

Tobruk Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Self powering oxygen module About the second question: two pumps positioned below for one electrolyser, a two tile barrier on one side of the electrolyzer, a pump on the other side for hydrogen. It's close to 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avc15 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 fun fact. SPOM was a thought experiment initially, to see if the energy content of hydrogen could sustain electrolysis. The person who came up with it every once in a while surfaces and talks about how there are more efficient designs. It's a good staple though, can drop in anywhere and be on your way. Just don't stop innovating, once you've figured out how to set up a spom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakomaru Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 100% uptime produces the proper ratios for me. By the way, I highly recommend hydrogen on the bottom. For some reason with hydrogen on the top, one liquid tile often gets deleted and ruins everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakomaru Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Check out the post linked by BB3, it should cover most of it: (And, I forgot - sorry. If you build it like that with a tile on the top left, it seems it doesn't matter which side the hydrogen is on.) (However, that is not possible with the rust deoxidizer.)
