Since I haven't seen this, but have watched the main ONI YT videos, I figured I'd share a tweak on the popular Full Rodriguez SPOM setup. The general design should be familiar to most, however if not, it's one you should become familiar with. A SPOM is one of the first contraptions you will build that utilizes shape/area in addition to more beginner friendly mechanics. The FR setup is popular because you can build it fairly early and have it support your colony for a long time as it generates 3kg/sec of 02. This setup utilizes my cooling loop - which covers my entire base (mini base mod at cycle 387) - and solves an early game issue with SPOMs; what to do with excess hydrogen? I've never been happy with the setups I've seen pumping into tanks, infinite storage, burning it off, etc. And in addition to jumpstarting the device, sometimes an issue arises that cuts off hydrogen production requiring another jumpstart. For this I've come up with this system that feeds power back onto your main grid as allowed, draws if needed, while fitting nicely in the standard dimensions of the FR. It will burn any excess hydrogen so this automation is best suited for when your base has sufficient power needs Hydrogen can easily be routed to storage prior; once I put down NG gens I set this up. Materials don't matter too much as temperatures are kept in check. The shift plates aren't needed but makes it bit better at controlling/synergizing O2 & H2O temps - slowly improving as I go - and of course you can optimize more with high end materials. (living base, sorry for stray NG line and disregard conductive wire on left as its unrelated, broader picture for context, hopefully this is novel enough for a topic beaten to death) Hydrogen Atmo - above 250 Oxygen Atmo - above 450 Filter - 5 sec (default) Smart Bat - 90/60 Both gas sensors hydrogen
