So what to do about it? Well, the research tree comes in handy for this. As I said above that carbon dioxide travels downwards and can be troublesome. So you must research all about food technologies. The problem for your duplicates isn’t lack of air but food shortages. The research tree basically helps you invest resources to acquire new info about new tech. Crops need to be planted in an environment where they can have a lot of air and can grow healthy. One thing you must know is that keep your living quarters in the upper portions as carbon dioxide travels downwards. The air deodorizer removes contaminated oxygen and carbon dioxide.
#OXYGEN NOT INCLUDED ALGAE TERRARIUM HOW TO#
For this, you will need Algae and power.Īfter that, you need to learn how to use the Electrolyzer which converts water into oxygen and hydrogen. The first order of business is to make the Oxygen Diffuser. You must look out for your duplicates as they might run out of oxygen so make them go in more oxygenated areas. These areas are indicated by a blue-colored glow. They can be useful if you are strapped for electricity and/or want to focus your wattage elsewhere.A beginner’s guide to Oxygen Not Includedįirstly, you must be aware of how to identify the areas which have more optimum oxygen level than others. Terrariums don't use any unless you count the minimal amount used to feed the light to maximize production. Unlike other forms of oxygen production, terrariums ignore air pressure but do not pressurize a room as quickly as a deoxydizer or electrolyzer. Terrariums remove 0.333g/s of carbon dioxide, compared to air scrubbers that remove 300g/s of carbon dioxide. This can be mitigated by dripping water or keeping a low layer of water around the terrarium. Terrariums require constant delivery of water to maintain their use, and this constant delivery can impede on your dupes day-to-day activities. To produce equal oxygen to 1 deoxydizer, you require 11.36 terrariums Terrariums use 30g/s of algae + 300g/s of water = 40-44g/s oxygen (depending on light source) Tl dr: Using them is up to you to balance the pros and consĪlgae deoxydizers use 1000g/s of algae + 120W = 500g/s oxygen These typically use peculiarities of how the game engine renders gases to encourage mechanical separation to do the work for free.
If you trawl through this reddit you'll see several setups that reduce the electricity cost of H2 extraction. One machine-based solution would be to use a filter on the top intake to spit the O2 somewhere else. (The reason you hate it before hand is slow research.)

This is the primary reason you hate electrolyzers, even after you get the generator running. Unfortunately, electrolyzers produce basically 9 parts O2 to 1 part H2 by volume (888 to 112) while we're trying to remove 3 parts O2 to 1 part H2. There should be no net increase in pressure.īecause H2 is the lightest gas in the game, it will drift to the top, with the O2 filling the rest of the void. This setup will produce 2kg of gas per unit of time, while the 4 intake will remove 2kg of gas per unit of time. Let 2 electrolyzers be on level 3, with 3 gas intakes on level 1 and a single intake on 5. (This is an exaggeration for you to play with.)

(Don't have ONI installed right now as I'm waiting for the update to get back in.) Your storage chamber should have a narrow or sloping ceiling with a nook for the gas intake to discourage O2 from getting in.Ĭonsider a somewhat narrow room with 5 gas permeable levels. Offering first a solution to your temporary problem (what to do with H2 before generator is made): Design your base with gas storage in mind and research faster.
