Morfeo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have try several ways, I have 4 electrolyzer who produce the just amount for my small base (just 11 people) but for managing the hydrogen, I make a sealed room, with two pumps, one for distribute the oxygen around the living zone, and the other one the hydrogen for energy. But every single exit of gas in the pipe, use a lot portion of oxygen, so in the highest area, almost nothing arrive. Long story short: I produce enough oxygen but I don't know how to move correctly that oxygen around all the base (pretty much 6-7 room of 14 square) Any tips or screenshot that can help me? sorry for my english I'm italian.

FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 11 people need 11*100g/s=1100g/s oxygen one pump=500g/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHe_silent_H Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Use valves to break off bits of the O2 into the vents, shut off the valve when an area is oxygenated enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There are three options Add more pumps, Like mentioned a pump can only suck up 500g, whilst the pipe can hold 1000g So you are going to have a backup of Oxygen/Hydrogen, In a fully legitimate build if you do not want to lose any gasses you need at least two pumps or 3 to get all the gas. Use bridges to force gas to areas with low oxygen or no oxygen, if there is a bridge and a pipe the bridge will take priority, use this bridge to get gas to the worst areas of your base, and implement what tHe_silent_H said by adding a shut off valve after the bridge so that when the area is oxygenated enough the bridge will lock up and oxygen will fill the other pipes. Four Electrolyzers is enough for 32 dupes if you use enough pumps. if you do not plan on expanding I would suggest getting rid of two of them and using more pumps to make the most of the gas instead of letting it be deleted accidentally. (I should take my own advice.... I have 8 electrolyzers and a fair portion of the Hydrogen gets deleted haha) There is other options, but those are the only three I can think of.

Morfeo Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 this is my situations, thanks for help, I'll try to improve with some pumps and bridge Spoiler ps: multiple pumps, but one filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Don't have too many vents on one pipe as it will divide your air too much. For a single pipe have 2 pumps and 2 vents. If you have 4 pumps make a second pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT_20 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 You need a better oxygen system the one you’re using either isn’t producing enough or the pump system is clogged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 If you have more than 10 dupes, you are going to need more than 1 pipe of oxygen in to your base, as 1 pipe can give oxygen to 10 dupes (at 100 g/s). To do this, you will also need more pumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonVile Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 - Build your Electrolyer at the top of your base and Carbon Skimmer at the bottom for your base. - Use a lot of Air Mesh tiles in floors to force the CO2 down to make O2 flow freely. Closing off your areas is a bad strategy. Use Screen Doors instead of Airlocks. - Place Airlocks to block O2 from leaving your base to escape to the rest of your map. I see people using 3-4 Electrolyers on a base. You don't need that many. I currently only have 1 for my base and I'm able to maintain 6 Dupes. I just upped it to 8 Dupes and will see how it goes. Outside of the Electrolyzer I only have one Oxylizer and a Algae pot, which is barely used and my Oxygen level is well over 1000g throughout the whole base. I'll post images on my base later.

PickPay Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 1 Electrolyzer (and 2 pumps) is enough for about 10 Dupes. I find that 1 Filter per pump is better, then the gas can meet in the pipes (with a Bridge for efficient packets). You can also "branch" pipes if needed for better O2 distribution.

Well unless you're going to do pressure management You need multiple filters. The problem is the way hydrogen moves through the gas pipes if it's interspersed with Oxygen. Little bubbles of H2 will cause your pumps to halt for a few milliseconds because they're blocking the oxygen. I blieve that if you only turned your pumps on when your pressure is high, you could use one filter, but if you are not getting full size hydrogen bubbles in your pump/pipe, then the pipes will back up with only 1 filter. Another important thing is to air seal the bottom of your base. Otherwise the CO2 will drop below your base into the lower parts of the map and pull your air pressure with it.

PickPay Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 It backs up when the Generator goes idle because of the chip installation. Then it frees up. Unless something goes wrong, pipes dont get clogged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PickPay Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 If for some reason pipes do get clogged I adjust the smart batteries to have the Generator run continuously to burn the extra Hydrogen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
