Gasifier 2000? IDK.. It needs a name.


Recommended Posts

So in the swamp biome start you have a LOT of material that off-gasses.  The sublimation station vastly increases the production amount, but they have pressure limitations and only output polluted oxygen.  So I took a design from ages ago, when I was experimenting with algae terrarium builds.  This design outputs 450g/s of pure, clean oxygen.  It regulates the output based on the ambient pressure in the base.

Inside the mesh tiles is a thin layer of brine to keep the polluted oxygen separated from the clean oxygen.  The air purifiers pull from the yucky air and push it into your base, up to whatever pressure you decide.  This design works wonderfully now that the air purifiers allow for automation.  At 7 purifiers wide, it will output 590g/s of clean oxygen -- the maximum you can get out of a single sublimation station.

Oh nice! Deorderisers having an automation port makes it much more compact than having to use airlock doors.

Yes, the 5 watts of power per deoderizer is worth it to have the automation port.

With a little extra in advance you can also plan to pump gas and then ...

I do advise to keep the polluted dirt supply close by to avoid breaking liquid locks. Materials that off-gas like to do that kind of shenanigans with stacked liquid locks that are low in mass (2kg and above are safe regardless...). Though this may be known it's always neat to point out.

I have something similar in my base. It seems like with the swamp starter and near-continuous outgassing materials make PO quite prevalent.

I like that automated build, no need for a waterlock door.

The skim of brine is a new trick to me, can this be done with PW instead? When did the deodorizer / filter start teleporting gasses?

The deodorizer has done this for a long time now. It all has to do with range/coverage and the fact that mesh and airflow tiles are "transparent" to said range.

Just search for the claymator and have fun with the designs. (Note: massive off-gassing from infini-storage and polluted water has been "inadvertently" patched out.) A MOGOM will still work, though.

You can use any liquid that doesn't off-gas. Its purpose is to prevent the PO2 from flowing through and into the room without being sucked through the air purifiers.  The air purifiers can suck from 2 tiles down, so they skip over the layer of water and pull the polluted air from below.
