Oxygen storage

[Craigjw]

I've got too much oxygen.  I tried having a dense puft, but in the end, it was too dense and laid the wrong eggs and died.  The puft wasn't making much oxylite either, not enough to make a significant difference.

Consume it (more dupes or many tamed dense pufts, storing the oxylite under water), store it (gas compressor exploit or liquefy it), or destroy it (vent into space).

Those are your only real options if you aren't willing to reduce/stop production.  I turn my o2 system on and off by automation,  but I'm only using the hydrogen to self power the o2 system and not for base power.

I recommend just stuffing it inside a compartment with a door compressor, and store it for later use.
What you do is, you build a big room, with a row of 4 doors and then a small room ( 2x1 ) at the end, in this little room you put a high pressure gas vent and you pump your O2 in here. Also put an atmo sensor in here, set to 19KG, which you hook up to one end of an AND gate.
The other end of the AND gate, you hook up to a pulser, set to 20 seconds ( A pulser is a NOT gate and a BUFFER gate hooked up to each other at both ends, this will send an ON pulse every X seconds in the line that is hooked up from the output of the NOT gate and the input of the BUFFER gate, check somewhere else on the forum for a post on it if you want more descriptiveness )

The output end of the AND gate, you hook up to a series of BUFFER gates ( set to 3 seconds each ) which each controls a door.

Congratulations you now have a door compressor, and you can store as much O2 in the big room as you want.

Here's an image of the automation overlay: 

 

You can also add a pump as I have, to get gas out out the compartment if you need it. in this case, it's a hydrogen storage area.

one tamed dense puft is 30Kg of oxygen/cycle. If there 1800+ g of oxygen in the room, the oxylite produced won't offgas. If you want to keep your dense puft population, you need a puft prince in the same room. Since the prince needs PO2, you can either put a lure with slime (but your prince will be starving on and off all the time), or gave a buble of polluted oxygen in the room. In my farm, I have some king of " U", filled with a part of oxygen and a desodo on a side, and polluted oxygen supplied on the opposite side. No germs problem if the polluted oxygen supplied is already germ-free and sweeper for the slime. The advatage of the dense puft is : easy to move and you get eggs and egg shells. Otherwise yeah just do a compressed room like said above.

An easy solution is to scale back your oxygen production.  Run an Atmo Sensor and a Gaseous Element Sensor (set to oxygen) to an And Gate and use that to turn your Electrolyzers/Deoxidizers on and off as needed.

I've found that exosuit docks are super simple way to store up excess oxygen. I think the storage capacity is something like 200kg and it only takes up 1x3 tiles.

The downside being that the only way to get it out is to deconstruct, releasing all the oxygen in to the immediate area. Popped eardrums isn't so bad though.

You can store 888kg in one tile by just letting it remain water.

You can store >18000kg in a compactor by letting it remain algae.

Oxygen really is one of the easiest gasses to store.

[SkunkMaster]

You could also liquefy it.

By letting it remain in water form, I'm not capitalising on it's power availability.
