uraharakisuke Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I have 2 electrolysers set up and one of them (the right one in video) keeps breaking while the left one has been working without any issues for almost 10 cycles now. I have both of them primed with the same amount of crude/petro on the electrolysers. What am i doing wrong here? just can't figure it out Oxygen Not Included 2022-02-19 17-56-23.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Havok9 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Short answer: I tried to figure it out, but nope. Long answer: I inverted the gases. Hydrogen bottom, O2 top. Never broke again. Try it. Don't know why... "It just works". Maybe you have some edge of the map shenanigans making fun of you. Do they still exist? I'm clueless!

tuxii Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 There is something to do with location when it comes to submerged electrolyzers. Some places they work just fine and some places they just don't. I don't know how to tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i tried in a couple of other spots and it breaks randomly in some places and works completely fine in others. But thanks for confirming I'm not the only one experiencing this!

Neotuck Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 @uraharakisuke Perhaps you don't have enough liquids covering the electrolyzers allowing them to displace, I have 200kg of ethanol and 200kg of brine on mine and they seem to work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't work. OP doesn't have that option without a major redesign anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that is a solution. Unfortunately, it's difficult to test since I don't have a broken example to try to fix. I didn't keep the save.

Here's what I found: 1) It didn't matter if i put 200kg or 0.1 kg on the electrolyser. If (H2top/O2left) setup, it invariably failed. 2) With (H2left/O2top), putting more liquid worked. No failures ever (5 cycles tested). Your setup in the picture is the best though. Tested (H2top/O2left) and (H2left/O2top) with 0.1kg liquids, nothing ever broke. So what I found was: 1) if 3 wide electrolyser setup, anything works! (any liquid amount/any H2/O2 direction) 2) If 2 wide: a) (H2top) would fail irrespective of liquid amount. b) If (H2left) AND >150kg liquid, then it never breaks. So definitely concur with @6Havok9, H2 left and enough liquid is the way to go. Unless doing 3 wide setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
