===[[File:Nitryl_no2.png]]Nitryl (NO<sub>2</sub>)===
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.
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. 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 causes the required N20 for the reaction to increase drastically. This makes creating any significant amount of Nitryl extremely difficult and is not worth the effort. when creating Nitryl in a canister using fusion heat the reaction occurs almost instantaneously upon un-wrenching the can, making creating upwards of 100000mols of Nitryl a trivial matter.

Tritium is created in fires that are highly oxygenated, or, in fires where oxygen takes up a vast majority of the gasses. For example, 97% oxygen and 3% plasma. Different ratios may be used, and sometimes different ratios will end up being better for the highest level of efficiency depending on space in the incinerator and temperature of the fire. Experiment! Important to remember is that tritium will likely be very hot, and if allowed to react with oxygen will burn up into water vapor. Keep this in mind when attempting to get sizable amounts of it.

===[[File:Freon_canister.png]]Hyper-Noblium===
===[[File:Freon_canister.png]]Hyper-Noblium===
Extremely inert, Hyper-Noblium stops other gases from reacting. (Specifically, it stops reactions when >5 moles). The rarest and most precious gas in the game and for good reason. Each mole synthesized contributes 1000 research points into the R&D servers and can later be sold for 1000 credits each. Synthesizing 500 moles in a shift is usually enough to get all the researches and give cargo a practically limitless budget.

Each mole synthesized contributes 1000 research points into the R&D servers, and synthesizing around 500 moles in a shift is usually enough to get all the researches.
 
Can be created when Nitrogen is combined with Tritium at extremely high temperatures. BZ works as a catalyst. 20:10 Nitrogen and Tritium respectively is consumed when one mole of Hyper-Noblium is condensed. Counter to the Nitrium reaction, BZ is not a requirement at all. But rather, it decreases how much the temperature / energy drops of your gas mix during the reaction. As such, BZ can often be entirely ignored. The minimum temperature for this reaction to occur is 5000000K, making fusion absolutely critical in its manufacturing process.
 
=== Anti-Noblium ===
The evil twin of Hyper-Noblium. Breathing it in will burn you from the inside out, even negating Hyper-Noblium's reaction and fire neutralizing properties in an explosive fashion. Expect anyone breathing this to die a very quick and painful death, especially Plasmamen.
 
Created by using the electrolyzer on Hyper-Noblium at a 1:1 conversion ratio, and as a minor result in the Nitrium Energy Ball reaction.

===[[File:Stimulum.png]]Nitrium===
Nitrium is created by combining Nitrogen, Plasma and BZ with at least 50 mols of N<sub>2</sub>O present as a catalyst. the ratio of gases is 5 parts Nitrogen, 2 parts Plasma, 2 parts BZ and 0.5 parts N20 which need to be heated to fusion temperatures for the gas to form. Nitrium can be used in internals mixed with oxygen for various effects.

An example of a mix for Nitrium would be 53% Nitrogen, 21% plasma, 21% BZ and 5% N<sub>2</sub>O this is not the most efficient mix but it offers a good starting point and leaves little room for failure, don't forget to cool the gasses before adding them to the canister if you want to make a decent amount of Nitrium.

===[[File:Healium.png]]Healium===
Healium is a red gas which acts as a stronger sleeping agent than N<sub>2</sub>0, while healing burns, bruises, suffocation, toxin and clone damage. When the user is unconscious and below 0C, it also restores blood and treats all wound types. It is created by exposing Freon to BZ in an exothermic reaction at temperatures between 25-300 Kelvin (keep it chill). Freon is consumed at around 11x the rate of BZ.

Pluonium is a highly reactive gas, but non-toxic when breathed. It is created in an endothermic reaction when Pluoxium is exposed to H<sub>2</sub> at temperatures between 5000-10000 K. Hydrogen is consumed at around 10x the rate of Pluoxium.

Halon acts as a fire suppressant by removing oxygen in the air (while producing CO2) in an exothermic reaction if the air temperature is above 100 C or 373.15 K. The oxygen suppresion rate is 20 O2 : 1 Halon. It is created by combining BZ and Tritium in an endothermic reaction between 30-55 K. Tritium is consumed at around 16x the rate of BZ.

===[[File:Zauker.png]]Zauker===
Zauker is an incredibly deadly gas if inhaled. It is made by mixing Hyper-Noblium and Stimulum in an endothermic reaction at temperatures between 50000-75000 K. Stimulum is consumed at around 50x the rate of Hyper-Noblium. It is worthy to note that Noblium stops reactions when it is present in quantities above 5 moles, prepare accordingly!

Zauker also decomposes exothermically into a 30/70 O2/N2 mix when exposed to Nitrogen.

You'll know you're successful when bright shiny multicolored particles start flying out of the canister. Please note that these shiny particles are extremely radioactive and just one of them hitting you is '''guaranteed fucking death''' if you aren't in a radsuit or aren't a radiation immune species such as plasmaman or preternis.

Once your canister is nice, hot, finished and ready; and you aren't a dying radioactive meatbag clinging desperately to his last vestiges of life, you may proceed to use the fusion canister for generating hypernoblium, or maybe nitryl and stimulum, in large batches, for personal consumption or shipping to cargo. A good canister of hypernoblium is easily worth half a million cargo credits, skilled atmos techs consistently make ones worth upwards of several million credits. Alternatively, you can use the fusion canister as a traitor and unleash your newborn star onto the station, killing anything and everything inside as it is engulfed in an expanding cloud of gas hotter than the heart of many suns.

If you are exposed to radiation without the appropriate insulation or '''hit by a particle''', do not panic, take your charcoal/antitox/anti-rad pills and you should be able to tank the toxin damage from the rads and keep some mutadone with you if you mutate (you will). If not in a rad suit, do not immediately run to medical because you will contaminate it and get '''a lot of people killed.''' Instead, scream over radio that you need radiation treatment in the form of more anti-tox or charcoal dropped off in maintenance for you to grab and use. Do not let doctors or paramedics '''get near you''', you'll only get them killed unless they're rad immune already. If hit by three of these, hope that you have enough medicine to keep you alive, as the next 10 to 20 minutes will be hell for you as your radiation damage accumulates and you mutate into a filthy subhuman. If hit by 5 or more of these, even if in a radsuit, isolate yourself and suffer a ''colorful'' death.
