This might be the only tutorial ive seen that stands true till release. Ive been using your design for a long time and its insanely easy. I only made 2 changes.. To make it modular and literally stackable. I moved your bottom pump over one spot left, and put a ladder where it used to occupy and replac3d the tiles above with an airlock. I stack 3 or 4 of these next to each other, and use 2 hydrogen gen and is completely self powering with excess.. In fact i had to disable automation and let the generators just burn the excess after a while.. Such a good design. Thanks man

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

I’m glad this has been useful. I started using a larger version of this where I mirror the electolyser setup in the other side of the hydrogen pump and then use 3 pumps for O2 below

[@bm549]

Very early days in game but loving it. Good to see that the standard of content available to support it is of such a good standard. Great video, keep doing what you are doing! :)

7:42 if you have an issue with the tiny bit of hydrogen that makes it through the bottom pump, there's still enough energy to hook up a gas filter to filter out the hydrogen while still creating enough power to self-sustain.

[@Paultimate7]

So after figuring out the below, I also mathed out something else. If you toss another pump and pressure sensor in the space below the upper door, you will get a net gain in watts overall. You will also start producing the max 112mg/s hydrogen, so you will be forced (after a while) to build a second hydrogen generator for the 12mg/s extra netting even higher efficiency and remaining very compact. 2 pumps for air and 2 gens properly set up use an average of 600w but produce an average of 896w. While the classic 1 oxygen pump 1 generator setup produces 505w while using 338w. This is one reason I enjoy games like this. Final note I forgot is the watts used by the water pump. Using roughly 14w for 1 oxygen pump setup and 24w for the 2 pump setup for a net gain of 153w vs. 272w So for whatever reason my setup of the exact same has at times given me an excess of power over several cycles as I expect, and has struggled to keep 1 battery filled for more than one cycle starting from a full battery. Im not sure why the hell this is. Its not that complicated. The only thing I can think of is maybe to do with temperature that isnt generally known? Some math. The pumps can pump 500mg/s. The electrolyzer outputs 888mg/s. That means over time it averages to being on, and thereby using power, to 500/888% of the time (56%). That means in general it is using 0.56x120w of energy to run (68w round up). That means it is also only producing both 500mg/s oxygen max, and 0.56x112mg/s (62mg/s round down) hydrogen. 62mg/s of hydrogen is 62% of its max of 800w. Lets assume no hydrogen is wasted. 0.62x800 is 496 watts average coming out of the generator. Taking out 68w from the elecrolyzer and 240 from the always running pump we are left with 188w. The pump supplying the hydrogen is on .62x112/500% (14%) of the time Using 240x0.14 watts (34) That brings us to around 154w left to fill extra stuff. HOW THE HELL IS THIS LOSING POWER SOMETIMES? I dont get it. I sit and watch it and things click on and off at roughly the rates above. What the hell. The answer was doors. Doors use power much more often than when they open and close it seems. and maybe 100% of the time when locked? Thats retarded, but im happy now.

[@dizno3555]

ok so to fix the stupidness of not getting enough power, just doors... thx!

[@nobodynowhere21]

I'm glad you said something. This should be higher rated. I didn't hear him mention that you actually get TWO pumps worth of O2 and what to do with extra H2. Also that both O2 working together will fill ONE pipe (500gx2=1000g max capacity of a pipe) which you can then snake through a cooling system (his weezeworts bathed in hydrogen works well and it costs zero energy).

[@vitorfray]

I used your design, but expanded a little bit. It was a game changer, it helped me so much! I placed 4 electrolysers and 8 pumps. Instead of separating the setup from the main power grid, I just fed the room with 2 power transformers. The hydrogen generators, I got them connected to a smart battery, and any excess hydrogen, I sent to a gas storage system for later use in hydrogen rocket engines. This proved too efficient. Also, I built the electrolyser room's equipments using gold amalgam, and used insulated tiles around it. I left its bottom tiles not insulated, and I built a pincha pepper nut farm underneath it. The electrolysers' high temperature is optimal for these plants' growth.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

[@BasselSherif]

You are the best one who solved the issue of the oxygen production. I added the filter to separate between the oxygen and the hydrogen. This allowed me to return the oxygen to my colony wherever needed, and only the hydrogen to the generator. Though, I still have the issue of over the pressure. This game needs a scientist to explain it to average users, but it is great and challenging.

8:55 Watts is already in seconds, Joules per seconds

[@nobodynowhere21]

Certain parts of this game must be a little daunting for anyone without some experience in chemistry and/or physics.

[@noxustds]

If you finished highschool you should know basic chemistry & physics

[@21CenturyBreakdownX]

​@@noxustds not everyone knows/remembers that Watts are joules per second Source: A recent EE graduate

[@RFC3514]

Most parts of this game are a little _infuriating_ for people with experience (or just a basic education, really) in chemistry and physics. :D I sort of understand making fluids immiscible, as a challenging game mechanic (although they should definitely run them at a higher resolution than the tiles - ex., 3x3 fluid tiles per construction tile - which would solve a lot of broken things), but I *definitely* don't understand the nonsensical simulation of current through wires. The wire carrying electricity to your bed lamp does not need to be able to carry all the current of everything connected to the same circuit (i.e., you don't need a "2000 watt" wire for something that uses 50 watts just because you have a couple of 900-watt ovens on different outlets). Each section of wire only needs to be able to carry the current _actually flowing through it,_ along the path between the source and the load. Also, the fact that "heavi-watt wires" need to be connected through a transformer suggests that they use higher _voltage,_ which means the wire itself wouldn't need to be any "heavier". You would only need to use heavier wires if you wanted to connect a lot of things to the end of the same branch _without_ using a transformer. There is a lot of potential for depth and fun (and learning) in a _realistic_ power distribution system. As it is, the electrical system in ONI is going to annoy people who understand power distribution and mislead people who don't, with no real gameplay benefit. I get the feeling a lot of systems in the game were meant to be quick-and-dirty placeholders, and just never got updated (instead, they added _more_ quick-and-dirty systems). The "automation" system is pretty decent and realistic, though, which is nice (if only the logic gates weren't all so huge).

[@markoap91]

What you just need to remember is that watts are a measure of flow of energy and when something is flowing you need the *per unit of time* part because things only flow in time. On the other hand watt hours or kilowatt hours are a measure for the amount of energy, same as joules. A watt hour is the amount of energy you get in an hour if it is flowing at a rate of one watt, or the amount of energy you get in half an hour if it's flowing at a rate of two watts, or the amount you get in one second if it's flowing at a rate of 3600 watts, you get the picture. Now what is bothering me personally is that a lot of the stuff in game is not according to physics, for example, what he made here would never work in real life. Because electrolyzer is using energy to separate water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, and that's all good, but, burning the hydrogen to generate electricity is nothing other than the same process in reverse, burning hydrogen is basically reacting hydrogen and oxygen to get water back and get the energy you put in to separate them in the first place back. Now, of course, because of the losses you don't even get the energy you put in back let alone that you get more so you can power the electrolyzer and pumps and have excess, you would also not get any oxygen back because the same amount you generated with electrolyzer you would need to burn all your hydrogen. Long story short, in real life, this setup would basically just run the same process back and forth, the end result would be the same water you pumped in and you would just be losing power to heat, so an over-complicated heater. Also pressure is not measured in grams or kilograms per tile (lets say meter cubed), because not all gasses have the same weight and so on..

[@nikajo__8755]

Cryptic Fox, you are a genius! Thank you so much for this video. I'm still quite new to this game so this really helped me transferring from algae to electrolyser produced air. In fact, it helped a bit too much! I've been producing so much oxygen and delivering it so efficiently through ventilation ducts that my base has somehow become a bit overpressured in places haha! Not enough to be a big problem, just open the airlocks for a short time every now and then and it tends to sort itself out. This video also led to me being able to get some functioning exo-suits on the go. Big help, thanks again!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Glad the video was helpful. Hitting max pressure isn’t so bad. It’ll save you water (unless you’ve become reliant on the hydrogen haha)

[@harrin1982]

Your starting video point (before 10 minutes) still has the water pump powered by the manual generator, which stops the flow of water unfortunately, when you disconnected the manual generator and water pump. With the water pump on the mix, there's an additional 240 w of power required, which does take it above the 800 w output of the hydrogen generator. But, this is still really clever! Once you get a Duplicant who can use the Tune-Up trait, you can easily toss a Power Control Station in there to improve the output of the system by 50% (3 cycle buff), making the output 1200 w and while it does take up a small amount of refined metal, is absolutely amazing!! I love this idea, and design!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Well it depends. Sometimes the power will spike above 800 and other times be below because both the water pump and the hydrogen gas pump only have to work periodically. You might need to have an additional battery in the setup to ensure no power is missed, but it could likely handle the pump as well. It's not uncommon for me to have my setup farther away from my water source so I don't often have the pump included though tbh.

[@scottwpilgrim]

@Ice Bear There's training in a lot of fields that use video games. Gotta get with the times now.

[@Spoonwood]

I think a trick to keep the desired gases going to the pumps could work as follows: 1. Don't quite complete the circuitry to the electrolyzer and the pump intended to pump out only hydrogen gas. I don't have a good handle on how they work, but maybe there's some way to utilize a switch to make such that the bottom/pump intended to pump out oxygen/oxygen pump make for the only pump that runs for a bit. 2. Run the oxygen pump, pumping out all the gases from the chamber until the room is a vacuum, or at least, the top half of the chamber is a vacuum. 3. Then connect the circuitry for the electrolyzer and the upper/hydrogen pump. I think that will keep the gases pure, and the gases that initially get pumped out to make a vacuum were going to get pumped out anyways.

[@AndrooUK]

I started using this design to make mid game oxygen generators. I use Worts to cool the resulting oxygen to a manageable level (using radiating gas pipes) and isolate the oxygen room outside my base to control heat. Never managed to far enough to drop this and make a consolidated gas room, where all the worts I find cool Hydrogen which is then used to cool other stuff.

[@tarrker]

This is a very good idea. I especially like the weezewort room you made. I would have never thought to do that. What you said about the gasses isn't entirely true, though. I've found that gasses will mix a little when being released from machinery like the electrolyzer. They can't occupy the same space but every once in a while you'll see one block of oxygen and one block of hydrogen right next to each other for about half a second. This is only relevant if your gas pumps are really close to your electrolyzers. The setup you have is basically perfect. :)

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Well they can exchange places but they don’t mix/commingle.

[@mankind3496]

I suggest to add atleast 4 tile up from the base of deodrizer to zero percent damage to hydrogen genrator and u can loop the water pipe to this entire system to cool it down

I used this design, and I managed to condense a steam geyser, make use of the hot water on it AND power my base with the hydrogen. I connected this room to my main power wiring, and I ran a crude oil loop between the room and a steam geyser. The room doesn't overheat because of the fixed air output temperature. It does get hot, a lot, so I sealed it with insulating tiles.

This looks way more efficient than the air factories I was building. They were taking up half the industrial zone of my colony, clogging the whole base with pipes, consuming nearly all my natural gas power from all the pumps, filters and thermoregulators. Basically a whole lot of industrial porn. And if I lost natural gas then I lost air. I really gotta try this method instead

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Hope it works well for you :)

[@WinoaKaronhiatens]

It's actually like real physics. Hydrogen is lighter then oxygen and oxygen is heavier then what air is considered so oxygen sinks while hydrogen floats. Since Oxygen is actually still fairly light and the fact that the earth is constantly in motion oxygen gets moved about which we know as wind. In terms Hydrogen stays close to the highest of our atmosphere. Another neat thing is using water to filter carbon dioxide. Probably why carbon dioxide tends loom over water in the game. With cold water it should turn into carbonic acid but of course we don't see much of that in the game asides being able to make soda which is made from it and water.

[@Brixxter]

Keeps the heat in, tested, 36c inside 27c outside!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Keeps the heat from the machines in, but since you're pumping out the hot oxygen it will steadily increase the heat in your base if you aren't doing some kind of cooling :)

[@drmccoy33]

@@CrypticFoxGamingtrue, thanks for responding.. one other question on this.. is this only a short term mid game solution as would you not eventually run out of water? what si the long term solution for oxygen?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

@@drmccoy33 These self powered oxygen machines are good through the rest of the game. You will need a source of more water though, so people will often build something around a geyser or two that are producing water. Typically your starting area water will last quite a while being used for this but will run out eventually if you don't tap into another source. "Damnit Jim I'm a doctor, not an Engingeer!"

[@TAiiNE]

Some ideas of things to try and improve on that I've worked on myself: 1. An mass Oxyfern + Pip farm. Located at the bottom of your base is a line of Pip stables side by side with a storage chest assigned to Oxyferns. The pips plant the ferns, with a few trees keeps them fed. Airflow tiles drops all the carbon dioxide into the farms. Can do this very early game with the only hold up being rushing the ranching research and getting a dupe to learn it. Bonus: Extra pips can be cooked. :3 2. Rust Deoxidizer + Water Treatment. Still need a better means to this, but its an enclosed Rust Deoxidizer that pumps out the air and fills a lower chamber with Chlorine. This chamber holds a few Liquid Reservoirs in a loop with a germ sensor that store germy water until its free them pumps the clean water to a tank. 3. A proper atmosuit setup that stops dupes from some how bypassing it!!!!!!!! dfbgsdfyvse5wb45ywb5hthv. 4. Are you 100% this system you show here still works? Because I just cant get it to go anymore. I use to, but its not doing much these days. i.imgur.com/la879fr.png As seen, the top pump, with the atmo sensor at above 750 rarly if ever pumps any hydrogen to the generator. The bottom pump ends up taking all the air, and hydrogen out of the system. If I toss in a gas filter, then it flat out cant run on its own and sustain it's self.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep I'm sure this system still works. I use it all the time in my colonies, though I think I may have added an additional battery.

[@TAiiNE]

@@CrypticFoxGaming I have 6 batteries right now trying to keep it going, it just isn't keeping up if I add the filter into it. But the bottom pump still sucks away most of the hydrogen with out it so the pressure above never hits more than 500 some. If I change the atmo to a lesser value, then it starts sucking in oxygen. Either or, I need a filter. And yes I started this system by making it a full vacuum first.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Hmmm that shouldn't be happening. Hard to troubleshoot when I can't see it though. Is there a consistent supply of water going to the electrolyzer?

[@TAiiNE]

@@CrypticFoxGaming Yes at the moment theres full water getting pumped to it. Though in a bit I'll be moving the setup and reworking things and doubleing up if I can get it to work proper. Moving the set up near two geysers that I finished a more proper water processing plant. Over flow will go to the electrolyzers. (and im finding I'm having a lot of overflow...)

The only downside to electrolyzer's is the amount of water you're loosing and not replacing because it doesn't make polluted water within itself sadly, so you will require at minimum 2 steam geysers to keep your water flow coming in while running this, and even then you may run out of water lol.

As I see it there is one way to make this more efficient. You can take out the bottom pump and put some airflow tiles in to let the oxygen flow straight to your base. I've had electrolyzers provide all of my power needs with a setup like that.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep that works too. I like being able to pump the air where I need it and also cool it to a controlled temp

[@NarikGaming]

@@CrypticFoxGaming Thought of another way, made a base with multiple unenclosed electrolyzers and a hydrogen collector at the top using gaseous element sensor. Wherever I want cooling I can make a small pocket with wheezeworts where hydrogen will collect. Could even automate it to release the hydrogen from the pockets if it gets too cold.

Hey, quick question, do you have 1 on ranching as simple as this?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Not at the moment, nope. After the 1.0 update in June I'm planning to rework the tutorials I have to cover a couple of items I haven't yet, and to revise others that have changed with game updates.

[@GeneralBlorp]

You can send the hot O2 directly to exo-suits without issue, then send the excess to cooling solutions. Better to use liquids to soak up heat from gases. Uses less piping.

Thank you. Without the cooling part, I've cooked a few of my colonies, with the food plans dying first.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yeah that would get a bit hot :)

[@12463trf]

I just got the game a few days ago, so this may seem like a silly question, but what happens / what do you do, when your batteries/power generator is full? or after that is full, and hydrogen starts building up? Can you just leech small bits of power out of that loop conveniently?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

the generator will run so long as it has hydrogen. It doesn't pay attention to the battery fullness, so it should never result in hydrogen backing up unless you've used a smart battery to turn the generator off. You could connect this to a transformer and leach little bits of power off, but you'd want some mechanism to stop it from draining all the power out of the loop or the system would stop.

[@squirrely_wrath]

is vacuum cooling an option since you could encorporate it in your oxygen production grid?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

They may have changed it, but it used to not be an option as the vacuum has no specific heat capacity and so it can't take on any heat from the pipes flowing through it.

[@horusrage]

One thing that I was thinking looking at your situation with the thermal regulator. Wouldn't chaining a thermal regulator in terms of an gas pump work so you move the thermal regulators thing to yet another thermal regulators. Then if you have the right temperature you can reintroduce it into the system as appropriate temperature gas. Kinda make a closed system that way. where the gas is constantly move through the heat to be returned as well.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yes you can. Thermal regulators do produce a lot of heat though so you’ll need to manage that. I generally use wheezeworts because they manage the heat passively

[@judtt]

great guide!

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Hope it’s helpful

[@oO0Inuyasha0Oo]

If you move the bottom section down one more block you can fit a few weezewort into the build and that seems to remove most of the heat problem. (I also added insulated walls but dunno if that's needed just yet.)

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yep that's one option.

[@baconburger-zt9ro]

Can you make a tutorial on how to farm anything? Plz? My pincha pepper plants keep dying.

[@Taebs]

You should mention that you "technically" need TWO pumps for the oxygen, because the electrolyzer will "MAX PRESSURE!" even with two pumps for the oxygen. A pump can handle 500g/s the electrolyzer will produce ~888g/s but due to the "physics" and the distribution for gases in this game, the air can't move quickly enough to the pumps. But two are better then one ;) The self contained power grid can handly two also.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

You could yes, though neither pump would be moving their max capacity :)

[@JayzenFreeze]

Dang the cold biomes warm up? Do the warm/hot biomes eventually cool down?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

The cold biomes only warm up as you add heat to them. you can cool down the hot biomes by drawing heat out but it takes a lot.

[@JayzenFreeze]

@@CrypticFoxGaming oh ok thanks, Thought you where saying they warmed up over time on their own thanks.

[@JustFeelingsCrafts]

Hi, Will this setup work with smart batteries. I tried it but the system run out power really fast. Maybe I did something wrong

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

There's no benefit to building it with smart batteries. The idea is to store up as much power as you can while the hydrogen generator is running, so when it stops you can run off the batter power for a time until its ready to go again.

[@JustFeelingsCrafts]

@@CrypticFoxGaming thank you

[@Gunbudder]

i didn't realize gasses were immiscible in the game. i seem to see them "mixing" but now i realize its that the pressure in my hydrogen tiles was dropping enough to create a vacuum, which WILL allow an oxygen tile to pop up there. They swap places very quickly though, giving the appearance of "mixing"

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yeah they can't occupy the same tile, but in the right conditions they will swap places

[@mikehanks]

I like the oxygen vids :) would like to see more about cooling! some say heat is very annoying in this game. and maybe the hardest thing.

[@shao9875]

in a way it is

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

It can be a nuisance yeah

[@dizno3555]

hey, would it be more efficient to use a different design with one pump and a gas filter becasue it takes less wattage? I'm actually curious...

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

This conversation has come up a bunch in the comments on this video. There's more than one way to tackle each problem, but from my perspective I like using the two pumps because it gives me a highly consistent flow of oxygen, and a predictable pattern of hydrogen supplied to my generator to keep powering the whole system.

[@CynthiaWoodard]

Thanks for a great video. Question for you - would you still use the room with wheezeworts for cooling if your steam geyser was really close to an anti entropy device?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

No I might be inclined to try the anti entropy machine then, though it produces a crazy amount of cold

[@tiefighterpilot8029]

Can you use that to produce power...for instance if i put more of all of these will it produce much power for a part of a base that needs around 1500 watts

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yeah but you have to be careful not to draw too much power from the system or it could fail

[@Ghorda9]

you can automate algae terrariums via dripping water on them and using a valve to limit the water flow, if you put dioxidisers on top the bottles of polluted water will turn into more oxygen, netting you twice as much.

[@fuselier9638]

is this possible with more than one electrolyzers?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Yes. I've been lately using 2 electrolyzers with 3 O2 pumps, and 1 Hydrogen pump.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

I use the radiant gas pipe in the area with the wheezeworts, but the rest of it is insulated pipe to avoid temperature changes.

[@nathaliasantoss]

I just love your voice

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

Thanks Nathalia :)

[@thetechw1z]

This design requires automation... do i just have to stall until i reach automation to build it?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

For this build yeah. Without the pressure sensor you’ll deplete too much hydrogen and won’t maintain the O2 and hydrogen separation

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

You could do something similar though with a smaller room and use a filter with a single pump and just filter out the hydrogen. Won’t have quite the same O2 throughput but it’ll work before you get to automation

[@thetechw1z]

CrypticFox Thanks for the helpful answer! Been following your streams for quite some time now...

[@VoidplayLP]

Just something to help out: if you want to include a filtering mechanism, dont use the gas filter, itd highly inefficient in terms of energy use. Use a gas shutoff, immediately after a gas element sensor, and connect them with automation wire. The shutoff will filter out the selected gas just like a filter, but other than a filter, it will not consume power with every bit of gas that flows through. It only uses power when actually filtering, and even then it uses 110 watts less.

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

With this setup, aside from the initial setup where you'll get some O2 in the hydrogen a filtering system isn't necessary as the H2 is automatically filtered by the design.

[@Tersdotco]

i got that compact room vacuumed ! how to avoid that ? thanks

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

use a pressure sensor to controll the hydrogen pump.

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

Does this design still work in a current version of the game?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

So far as I know but I haven’t tried in a while

[@DagothWit]

I'm having an issue where the generator is not creating enough power to stay running. I had to add a treadmill as a backup if the power gets too low. Is this something that might have been changed since you put up the video?

[@CrypticFoxGaming]

No I still build these the same way but you can add an additional battery if its not storing up enough of a charge when its running on the hydrogen power.
