Clarifies that the N2O used in the Nitryl reaction is a catalyst.
(Removed the part saying Stim speeds you up, added a part mentioning it makes you immune to slips. A crazy-ass Atmos Tech managed to make some for me at one point, and I know it was working because I didn't slip on water, but I also didn't gain any speed.) |

Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until the acid eats your lungs. Generally produced only as a precursor to stimulum, or when somebody's pet star gets loose and starts turning the station into its burning core. | Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until the acid eats your lungs.

The result of heating Oxygen and Nitrogen to 25000k at a 1:1 ratio, with at least 5 moles of N2O. The requisite heat is often only produced in tritburns, but the necessary heat energy as well as the natural heat decay caused by water vapor causes nitryl production via heat exposure over a turf (such as the burn chamber) very slow and generally not worth it. Fusion temperatures are advised. | The result of heating Oxygen and Nitrogen to 25000k at a 1:1 ratio, with at least 5 moles of N2O present as a catalyst.

'''Pressure (P)''': Measured in kPa, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit) kiloPascals], Pressure is lethal above 750 kPa's. A pressure in a room above 1000 kPa's necessitates internals to breathe properly. | '''Pressure (P)''': Measured in kPa, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit) kiloPascals], Pressure is lethal above 750 kPa's.

'''Fire''': An effect caused by burning plasma, fire comes in two different forms of hotspot. It causes massive burn damage, and a strong fire will not be stopped by standard firesuits. Plumbing N2 into a room might work, but heavy firefighting is not the point of this section. Fire will ignite any form of combustibles in near tiles. Sufficiently hot fires use less oxygen as they rise in temperature. This is due to the fact that fires remove X plasma and X*(1.4-Y, Y< or = 1) oxygen. X CO2 is produced. Ideal Burnmix is: 10x more O2 than plasma, and with as high a temperature as can achieve. | '''Fire''': An effect caused by burning plasma, fire comes in two different forms of hotspot.
